Slow Motion

I see the world in slow motion From my tired and sleepy eyes. I feel the nighttime closing in Bringing darkness to my skies. If only the days were longer and the clouds a little less. The heart could get stronger My love I would profess. Against my weariness I stumble. In my shadows do I falter. If I could change the outcome, It would be my fears I would alter. I'm tripping all over you Trying to make wrongs right Many awkward moments to undo To make a perfect night. I see you dance in slow motion from my tired and sleepy soul. I feel the weakness closing in Where emptiness took it's toll. My day is getting short. The sun is loosing it's sight. My feelings I must abort. To this world I must say goodnight.
