If I Could
Hey, hey! The sky's coming down on her today.
Who will tell her that she is not the only one
She goes through motions that make her life whole.
Who will tell her that she is not the only one
She grasps even though she knows it's a mistake.
Who will tell her that she is not the only one
If I could, I would tear these dark clouds from the sky.
If I could.
And she's tired of being alone.
She hides away from the sun when it shines.
Deep in shadow in a shade she calls home.
who longs for someone else at night?
Who will hold her in arms meant for her alone?
Who will tell her not to cry?
And she hopes that it won't fall apart.
Pretends that there's nothing wrong there at all.
And ignores the ___ in her heart.
who longs for someone else at night?
Who will hold her in arms meant for her alone?
Who will tell her not to cry?
Then he's gone and she hurts even more.
She thinks that somehow in the ___ ___ .
Magic mirrors cause scars [stars?] on the floor.
who longs for someone else at night?
Who will hold her in arms meant for her alone?
Who will tell her not to cry?
Stand each night and connect all the stars to your eyes.
Take your heart, make it light. ___ the wings of a dove.
Take your soul, drowning it in a shower of love.
