    The stars they sink

    In the oceans of ink

    Long black ribbons of cars

    And in the taxi

    You ask me how I''m doing

    But you already know



    Beyond, beyond is not through

    Its only a reflection of you

    And something at the window

    It motions with its fingers

    Calling me beyond



    The sadness is mine

    The sadness is mine

    Its why you''re not healing me

    And whatever has come for me

    Oh I can give you whatever you''re wanting

    Just take it and spare me spare me

    Please oh tell me this is only a warning/no

    Please have mercy let me go



    If only a day to let her know

    Without her love I''m nothing at all

    The change is happening and I''m almost gone

    In her heart is my faith

    And it wins against the sadness



    The train it moves through the desert

    The horses they will challenge its stride

    And into the boxcar she leaps

    And is my hero

    And penetrates the demons inside



    The clouds they pass

    But they''re moving so fast

    As I watch them collide

    Collide and collapse in her arms like a newborn child

    I am at one reborn



    The fog in the mote

    As he grabs me by the throat

    It lifts as she comes

    She opens her cloak and the color of blood

    It is the sign of what now must come



    Deny deny me my destiny

    I am not ready to go

    I am the horror that brings us to the morning

    Where I will have to stand up and fight
