Monica Richards - The Turnaway lyrics
Your rating:
I couldn't look to see her face I dared not look - I just couldn't But only rested my eyes on the shadow behind her as we Made our way. Sailors may have heard and turned their heads to look At the vast open endless answer. She says "I am with you." Maybe that's true... Two silhouettes on the sand, the sun shining brightly Behind us. It was morning And with her heart she looked at me It seemed she was about to speak of better times... I dreamed she did speak to me, you see Here I am and that's enough for now Then the memory of her shadow turning In tunnel vision like a silent home movie Playing and repeating Her shade spinning growing past her feminine shape - A wave of hand on this rotation a quiet laugh on that The profile for a moment, her shadow rising like a bird It's wings stretching - the shape shifting - the tossing Of her hair Like a mare free and prancing The moment played and replayed While I stared transfixed dizzy She flickered and I couldn't remember exactly who she Was or who she had been I will see her again This is what it's like when someone you love has gone And you hope to see them in dreams Though you never remember all you want to say... It's always that way. She said "I am with you." That's enough for now. I will see you again...
