Stands all alone 

Looks in the mirror 

And sees what she wanted to be 



Safely unknown 



To anyone near her 

She sees what she wanted to see 

And turns to me 

And turns to me 



And turns to... 



She was prophesied 

For an early slide 

Followed it to the letter 



Well kept beauty queen 

If there, always seen 

Still you thought she'd know better 



No erasing 



The time you're wasting 

But when you're wasting 



You don't care 



All those pieces 

In short term leases 

But when you need them 



They're not there 



For all those moments of yesterday 

She's traded every tomorrow 

And now all those moments are so far away 

Ghosts haunt each word she would say 



As she walks among the decay 



She had oscar wilde's 



Timeless sense of style 

As had been her intention 



Still she was afraid 

Time must be repaid 



And there'd be no redemption 



Youth and time collide 

She could not decide 

On a certain direction 



Time was catching up 

Carefully made up 



She avoided detection 



For all those moments of yesterday 

She's traded every tomorrow 

And now all those moments are so far away 

I saw it too 

Closer than you 

What else is there left to say 



Wait for me now 

I will be there for you 

This I will vow 



If you still want me to 



But it won't be 

This I have always known 

And in the dark 

There's no one to pray for me now 



I don't understand what I'm feeling tonight 

I don't understand but I'm waiting 

Searching the shadows that fade in the light 

But I'm feeling alive 

Trying to survive 

Float with the tide 

Till you arrive and I... 



SO HE NOW TURNED TO THE OCEAN 

SAYING IT WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE 

AND THE OCEAN NEVER SAID A WORD 

THOUGH IN TRUTH SHE DISAGREED 



AND ON THE SAND BEFORE HIM 

WHILE THE WAVES BROKE GENTLY WHITE 

THE OCEAN LISTENED CAREFULLY 

AS HE TOLD HER OF HIS LIFE 



I HAVE BEEN AROUND THE WORLD 

I'VE PURSUED THE MOON IN FLIGHT 

I HAVE READ THE WORDS OF SHAKESPEARE 

BY A MIDNIGHT ARCTIC LIGHT 



I HAVE RUN BETWEEN THE DRAGON'S TEETH 

AND LIVED TO TELL THE TAIL 

I HAVE DANCED ACROSS A STARDUST SKY 



AND NEVER LEFT A TRAIL 



I'VE SEEN THINGS FEW COULD IMAGINE 

AND I NEVER WILL FORGET 

BUT I'VE NEVER HAD A FAMILY 



AND THIS I DO REGRET 



NOW ALL I'VE LOVED HAVE GONE BEFORE ME 

AND OF THE FUTURE I HAVE GREAT DOUBTS 

AND THOUGH IT SEEMS I STILL HAVE TIME LEFT 

I NOW FEEL TIME I CAN DO WITHOUT 



AND I HAVE WONDERED TO MYSELF 

WHY SHOULD DEATH SET ITS OWN TIME 

IS IT JUST A FINAL JEST FROM FATE 

TO ADD ONTO HER OTHER CRIMES? 



FOR I HAVE NO WISH TO WAIT AROUND 

WHILE ALL MY SENSES FADE 

AND ONE BY ONE RETURN THE GIFTS 

THAT YOUTH SO FREELY GAVE 



WIRED TO SOME COLD MACHINE 

THAT MAPS MY EVERY BREATH 

AND SIGNALS AT THE PROPER TIME 

LESS THEY SHOULD MISS MY DEATH 



AND ALL THIS SERVICE I SUSPECT 

IS LESS DONE BY GOODWILL 

THAN BY THE FEAR THAT THEY SHOULD MISS 

A FINAL CHANCE TO BILL 



SO I'VE DECIDED TO LEAVE THIS WORLD 

AND HAVE DEVISED A PLAN 

TO SAIL TO SEA IN A SMALL BOAT 

WELL OUT OF SIGHT OF LAND 



TO SAIL ONCE MORE UPON THE DEEP 

LIKE A VIKING TO HIS RESTING PLACE 

THEN SLIP FOREVER NEATH THE WAVES 

AN EXIT WITH SOME GRACE 



AND THE SHIP SHALL BE MY COFFIN 

ON THIS LAST VOYAGE THAT I TAKE 

AND MY TRAIL LEFT THROUGH THE WATER 

WILL BE MY FINAL WAKE 



I HAVE DONE MORE THAN THOUGHT ABOUT THIS 

ON MY LIFE I'VE CLOSED EVERY DOOR 

I HAVE LEFT A WILL BESIDE MY BED 

AND THE BOAT IS THERE OFFSHORE 



AND ALL I ASK IS YOUR ASSISTANCE 

WHEN THAT SHIP IS WELL AWAY FROM THE LAND 

THAT YOU SEND A STORM TO EMBRACE US 

AND TAKE US GENTLY IN YOUR HAND 



WHEN HE HAD FINISHED SPEAKING 

SOME POINTS THE OCEAN DID CONCEDE 

BUT WHEN HE SAID HIS FINAL WORD 

SHE ONCE MORE DISAGREED 



I'LL THINK ABOUT THIS IF I MAY 

I NEED NOT RUSH THE TIDE 

FOR IN THIS WORLD OF TOO LITTLE TIME 

THERE'S ALWAYS TIME TO DIE 



YOU SEEM SO EAGER TO END THIS LIFE 

AND WITH YOUR DEATH TO DANCE 

THAT YOU IGNORED HIS PUTRID BREATH 

NOW PERFUMED WITH ROMANCE 



THE SAILOR SAID YOU CANNOT UNDERSTAND 

THE NEEDS OR WANTS OF MEN 

SO I'LL ASK YOU ONCE MORE FOR YOUR HELP 

AND I SHALL NOT ASK AGAIN 



THEN THE OCEAN PULLED HER WAVES BACK 

AND BECKONED HIM STAND NEAR 

AND WHEN HE HAD STEPPED CLOSER 

SHE WHISPERED IN HIS EAR 



THAT EVERY MAN 



IS BORN YOU SEE 

BENEATH THE SWORD 



DAMOCLES 



FOR YOUNG AND OLD 

ARE ALL ALIVE 

ON THAT NEXT BEAT 



ON WHICH WE RIDE 



AND THAT BEAT IS SUCH 

A FRAGILE THING 

IN BOTH OLD MEN 

OR YOUTHFUL KING 



AND THAT BEAT 



STANDS ALL ALONE YOU SEE 



BETWEEN US 



AND BLACK ETERNITY 



AND THOUGH DEATH IS SURELY 



EACH MAN'S FATE 

UNTIL THAT TIME 



LET EACH MAN WAIT 



SO BE CAREFUL AS YOU GO THROUGH LIFE 

WHAT YOU ROMANTICIZE 

I FIND SUCH THINGS ARE RARELY TRUE 

AND FAR MORE RARELY WISE 



THE SAILOR THEN LISTENED CAREFULLY 

AND EVERY THOUGHT WAS FILED 

AND THOUGH HE WAS STILL NOT QUITE CONVINCED 

HE AGREED TO WAIT AWHILE 



AND MEANWHILE FURTHER DOWN THE BEACH 

THERE STOOD A YOUNGER MAN 

AND HE TOO FELT THE SAND OF TIME 

WAS RUNNING THROUGH HIS HANDS 



BUT THIS YOUTH FELT THEY RAN TOO FAST 

AS HE STOOD NEAR A RUSTING DOCK 

AND HEARD THE WAVES MARKING TIME 

LIKE SOME RELENTLESS CLOCK 



HE FELT HIS FUTURE WAS NOT HERE 

OF THIS HE HAD NO DOUBT 



AND EVEN THOUGH HE WAS EIGHTEEN 

HIS TIME WAS RUNNING OUT
