Nine Dragons Poet Lyric

No Reflection (Till the Angels Bring Me Up to You)

All by myself, the grass is green
The sky is blue—the streets are mean
The road is winding, there's no straight way
When I ask my self why we often stray.

The lives we live are make-believe
The dreams of others as they conceive
The way they think life aught to be,
But there never seems a place for me

I gird myself; I trudge along
I sing myself a fighting song
I break the dream
I find the true
And in love's gleam,
I wait for you

All by myself, the nights are cold
Your face, a mem'ry that I hold
Your heart, a fire that warms my soul
That gives me strength to keep control

To trust in us and make it thro'
When doubt and fear don't know what to do

Come rescue me then I'll rescue you
If we trust in love we'll make it thro'

If we trust in love we'll make it thro'
Till the angels bring me up to you

Just trust in love, we'll make it thro'
Till the angels bring me up to you

But in the mean' just seventeen
And life just seems so cold and mean
I ask myself how long it's been
Since I laughed or even felt a tiny grin
Come wash away all this sullen gloom
That glares the corners of my shadowed room
Curtains drawn
A listless fawn
Wond'ring where poor mother an' father've gone
Were they a dream
Why can't I scream
Why can't I see my reflection in this sudden stream
Within these sudden woods
As sudden as these ever-changing moods
As sudden as death comes—intrudes
Interrupts and tries destroy
A love thought a cute soon forgotten toy

Come rescue me then I'll rescue you
If we trust in love we'll make it thro'

If we trust in love we'll make it thro'
Till the angels bring me up to you

Just trust in love, we'll make it thro'
Till the angels bring me up to you

Love, still gleaming—
Even in the cold and dark
Life's still dreaming
Even when it's stark
And there's just no room for me

Please—come rescue me
