How much longer will I lie
In the dark of my room
Where the shadows dance and sigh
To the chorus of the moon?

When living a dream is the only way
To feel your arms tangled in mine
And when I wake, you cannot stay
Wishing, if only, I could slow down time

And so I sleep the lonely night
Dreaming of a time where you and me
Could break away and take flight
Will this town be all we see?

Oh how long will I be
A slave to dream of dreams afar
To let go of reality
And sit upon lofty star?

Thank you so much! It's really hard for ANYONE to get noticed in the world... But I just write from my soul, as all should. :) And thanks again. That comment just made my morning!
