This is the day I realise
I’m the biggest fool on earth
Time had shown me the symptoms
But’d been so stupid to have denied
I’m wishing for a small death to pass by
And a little awakening to another life
Oh Allah, please bring me the strength
Please bring me the colours
Oh Allah, to you, today I plead most;
I really beg
A small death & a never awakening
I’m always too late
I see the train leaving
I’m always laughing
When it’s not cool to smile
I’m always aiming
But somehow keep missing
So how did you get here
Something is wrong
[CHORUS:]
Where did I go right
How did I get you
How come all this blue sky is around me
And you found me
Where did I go right
How did I get you
I don’t know how I did
But somehow now I do
I’m always driving
Forget where I’m going
Should have turned left
But I was singing some song
And I, I am arriving
As everyone’s leaving
But there you are waiting
Something is wrong
[CHORUS]
Makes no sense to me
No it isn’t clear
But somehow you’re standing here
Something gets to me
It’s that nothing is wrong
[CHORUS 2X]
The stars lean down to kiss you
And I lie awake and miss you
Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere
‘Cause I’ll doze off safe and soundly
But I’ll miss your arms around me
I’d send a postcard to you, dear
‘Cause I wish you were here
I’ll watch the night turn light-blue
But it’s not the same without you
Because it takes two to whisper quietly
The silence isn’t so bad
‘Til I look at my hands and feel sad
‘Cause the spaces between my fingers
Are right where yours fit perfectly
I’ll find repose in new ways
Though I haven’t slept in two days
‘Cause cold nostalgia
Chills me to the bone
But drenched in vanilla twilight
I’ll sit on the front porch all night
Waist-deep in thought because
When I think of you I don’t feel so alone
I don’t feel so alone, I don’t feel so alone
As many times as I blink
I’ll think of you tonight
I’ll think of you tonight
When violet eyes get brighter
And heavy wings grow lighter
I’ll taste the sky and feel alive again
And I’ll forget the world that I knew
But I swear I won’t forget you
Oh, if my voice could reach
Back through the past
I’d whisper in your ear
Oh darling, I wish you were here
A little girl, one day, stood by the roadside, admiring the many cars that whizzed by. She smiled to herself. “Wow, their journey must be great ones.” Then, one day, a car stopped by. A chap called out, “hey little one, just pop in. No worries, I bet I will hold on to you.” And so her journey began. It was beautiful. Every moment was nice and comfy. She smiled. She enjoyed. The car moved on. There and then, it fumbled and tumbled through paths of rocks. All along, in her heart, she said to herself, someone had said he’s gonna hold on. The trust held her, for she too held on.
Then, their car came to a crossroad. ” Hey I’m gonna take that way. I’m sorry but I’ve to drop you off.” It was a matter of 2 minutes, those words exchanged.
Hmmm… what was it for that she held on so tight? What was it for that she’d fought? What was it for that then she’d to be left back; back at the same roadside?
She wiped her tears and prayed each day. Oh God, let the journey for him be at least most nice and smooth.
By the roadside as she stood. Smiling and tearing, walking but fearing.
Then, again, another chap called to that little girl. “Hey kiddo, just pop in.” Sigh was she really a kiddo?
There she stays by the roadside. Looking at all those cars whizzing by. Somethings inside kills her often. Oh god, she called. She needed a shoulder. She couldn’t handle all alone. Mama….she called. “Oh my baby, what are you crying for?” “Mama… mama… abcdefg…. ” she explains. In her mother’s arms, she stays.
