I Dance With My Tomorrows
There are things so long forgotten
and things I never will
turning inward, not to see them
though they echo in me still
and the face that I am known by
the eyes that tell the lies
walks the road of broken sorrows
as my future slowly dies
Still, I dance with my tomorrows
while the music can be heard
Even though I know it's useless
for I never knew the words
And the one that watches sadly
bows her head in silent grief
for she's heard the story often
knows that death is but a thief
walking in the shadows left by
each dream I left behind
She follows my steps closely
never seeing, always blind
Still, I dance with my tomorrows
while the music can be heard
Even though I know it's useless
for I never knew the words
For the contest "Sing to me"
From the song "A Whiter shade of Pale"
