Vanishing Path

When I opened my mouth and no song could rise
And the knot in my throat could not be untied
I began searching, desperate to find
The piece of me out there, the piece that had died

I slept in the canyon, a million stars blazing
The crickets were singing their heartbreak refrain
In that sweet darkness, I could finally hear
The pain in my heart, the sound of my fear

The life I knew is a vanishing path
Nowherе to move forward, no way to turn back
Ave Maria, send mе a dream
Between who I was and who I will be

For so long I've known who I wanted to be
She is brilliant, beloved, much better than me
There's no way to find her, I know she is gone
So I dance among the endings as I write a new song

The life I knew is a vanishing path
Nowhere to move forward, no way to turn back
Ave Maria, send me a new dream
I know who I was but not who I will be
