When - Elysian Fields

When

I'm drifting in my dream

I love you

When

I wake and nothing's what it seemed

I love you

When

The final midnight's poised to stroke

I love you

And all of the looking glasses broke

When

All of the aces have been drawn

I love you

When

Your king is cornered by my pawn

I love you

When

You are asleep and so defenceless

I love you

When

This wicked world

Has turned against us

Even though

We didn't kiss goodbye

I love you

When

There are no tears in me to cry

I love you

When

The willow's weeping

With desire

When

The furthest cold and distant planet

Catches fire fire

Tear at the sky

Haunted by windows

Those are the eyes

Always searching never seeing souls are sailing

Slowly lonely

When

They've got our names down on a list

I love you

When

I am recalling our first kiss

I love you

When

You are distracted and remote

I love you

When

There is no voice

Left in my throat

When

The rains are spilling from the sky

I love you

When

The thirsty riverbeds are dry

I love you

Though

You never asked me to be yours

When the wild and restless waves are crashing

On the shore

Tear out the sky

Crowded by windows

Those are the eyes

Always searching never seeing souls are sailing

Slowly lonely

When

You are a million miles away

I love you

When

We've dropped our lines from this mad play

I love you

Though

Our longest battle is not won

I love you

When

The stage is dark

The people gone

When

My soul no longer

Takes it's form

And

You hear me singing

In the storm
