Cannot Ask
Born and raised
In
Lonely
Solitude
Lightyears away now
Still keep the
Tally on the iron wall
The thousands and
Thousands of
Silver lines
Living
The same daily routine
Do you see
The same moon rising
And
The same sun setting
Together
In the horizon?
Are you breathing in
The same
Tequila sunrise as me?
Keeping count
Still keeping count
I know I
Can't ask you to stay
When I don't know
Where you're even heading
Or where you are
Can't ask you to say
When you don't even know
The words
To the song I want to sing
I know now
I know all about waiting
But I stay strong
They're out there
They'll be back
Someday
