The Yellow Brick Road

The courage I lack to make you mine Still haunts me everyday Your beauty grows from Heaven's vine And I'm just in the way I lack the knowledge to follow my dreams For I fear it's all in vain But that's the way it always seems Since love has taken my brain I just don't seem to have the heart To tell you how I feel Each day we're growing further apart 'Til I wonder if it's real Maybe in a different time and place Where love is free to roam I'll finally catch the things I chase And make my heart your home 'Til then I'm lost, my life a void As I watch my path erode I'll collect the things that time destroyed And follow the yellow brick road
