Hope

When you look at me from your own century

I may seem to be strange archeology

But when the winds blow from this direction

You may sense me there in your reflection

I think I feel you, but I will never know

As the swallows leave, and the children grow

I wanted to live forever

The same is you will too

I wanted to live forever

And everybody knew

When I caught you there in tomorrows mirror

I thought felt you jump out of my skin

Throwing oil into my blazing memories

Filling empty footsteps I was standing in

I wanted to live forever

The same as you will too

I wanted to live forever

And everybody knew

As the falling rain of the northern jungle

Hanging droplets on the leaves bombards my brain

I hear you across the room

A sea of daffodils spring into bloom, you are the mist

The frost across my window pane, and again

She moves her body, and her whispers weave

And the world spins, and tells me that I'll never want to leave

As I think of you from this dark century

I will always be with generosity

That we both may share, the hope in hearing

That we're not just spirits disappearing
