Greeting Tomorrow

My love-jaded heart will no longer respond to the sound Of whispering raindrops in fall or a train passing by. I've got brand new wings, yet so frail; I lose touch with the ground To take to my fantasy velvet mysterious sky. I'm fine in my bulletproof shell and I quit endless waiting Like quitting an old nasty habit and moving ahead, Exploring the worlds that my own deft mind is creating; Old passion's extinguished along with one more cigarette. Whenever I light one, its taste and its sweet bitter flavor Remind me of sharing a kiss I imagined that spring; If only that winter I'd been just a little bit braver, This all would have come to the same tragic end in a blink. The guise in the mirror of spring is a blear reflection Of somebody already dead and forgotten at all Yet standing the very last chance for the heart's resurrection; I swear I'm back on my feet, you may shoot, I won't fall. The past is all gone, so one day I'll forget to remember And gladly discover I've chosen nothing to keep, Awaiting another July and another December; And now it's time to put down my pen and just sleep. What dreams are to haunt me, I wonder? Next morning I'll know, My mind is still blank as I'm totally sober toight; My desperate thoughts and my fears are letting me go, I'm ready to enter the kingdom of misty midnight. I'm ready to enter the gates of tomorrow now, Today is a legend and yesterday - just a mistake. I'm crossing the line, I will make it all through anyhow, Just happy to live and to breathe every morning I wake.
