What If I
What if I disappeared?
Would you look for me?
Would you call my name into
the galaxies afar and would you
think of me as you fall asleep in
your bed at night.
Would you imagine my voice
carried on the wind could you
feel me all around
As I travel on roads singing
your song burning the bridges
that tear at my heart.
Would you watch the midnight
news hoping to see my face
hoping I'm still alive somewhere out there
in space
Could you replace me with
someone else holding your
hand kissing your nightmares
away
Would you forget my name in
passing as I'm running from
everything praying it won't
catch me
Ill see your face in every rear
view mirror but blow it away
with the smoke from my
ciggarette hanging from my lips
You'd never feel my gentle
caress against your your
fevered skin never hear me
laughing at the crazy things
you say you wouldn't catch my
tears as they were falling an
empty space takes your place
Would you look for me if I
disappeared today?
