Thought you'd bide your time and play your part
But you were wrong dear
Somewhere down the line your lonely heart
Could not belong here
And in some frame of reason
Beyond our vision
Your love lagged behind and fell apart
Without a soul to hear
On a night like this the stars don't shine
And there's no moonlight
We're like you I guess, we bide our time
Try to play our parts right
And wonder where you gathered
Your angry sorrow
Through the rolling mist the scenes unwind
They seem so clear to-night
And in my sleep you are crying still
The way you touch your brow, hang your head
I never knew and I never will
The voices haunting you, a thing that I could do
Were they in your stars, those lonely nights
Tormented hours?
Something snapped your spars and slacked your lines
And took your powers
Did no one see you sinking
'Til you'd gone under?
While you slipped so far beyond the lights
Were we just watching ours?
