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.
