Where You Are



In my dreams, your eyes are always closed,
Nothing seems to tear them away
From wherever you are,
In your blanket of mistrust,
Seems you're always so far away,
Hiding in the dark.

When I wake, I feel you're always there,
Everything screams your name at my ears
From wherever you are,
If you ever will care
Again I can't reach you there,
Sheltering in the rain.

I wish I could say,
What I hear in your voice,
I can't stand not to share,
What I see in your eyes,
And I hear what revolves,
Inside of your head,
But I wonder why,
You are turning to dust in my arms.
