Beyond The Lights

Thought you'd bide your time and play your part
But you were wrong dear
Somewhere down the line your lonely heart
Could not belong here
And in some frame of reason, beyond our vision
Your love lagged behind and fell apart
Without a soul to hear

On a night like this the stars don't shine
And there's no moonlight
We're like you I guess, we bide our time
Try to play our parts right

And wonder where you gathered your angry sorrow
Through the rolling mist the scenes unwind
They seem so clear tonight

Were they in your stars
Those lonely nights, tormented hours?
Something snapped your spars
And slacked your lines and took your powers
Did no one see you sinking till you'd gone under?
While you slipped so far beyond the lights
Were we just watching ours?
