I’m sorry I cannot die with you
Cause I’ll be condemned
While you will be redeemed.
Why should I suffer pain alone
In that solitary furnace in morality hell
You’ll be floating in the vast sky blue
On a golden cloud with diamonds hemmed
Like once you told me dreamed.
You were the one dream I had known
That existed; till I heard the reality bell
I’m sorry I cannot go with you
Cause I don’t like to be in a crowd
And I can’t sing the praises.
I cried to all the forces that be
And didn’t know to go where
Your eyes gave me no clue
I stood at the end with my head bowed
Groping through the mind’s mazes.
I just tried to be me
And I discovered I wasn’t there
Your song could melt the rocks
Your beauty could stop the time
And I have stood in awe.
And now you are beyond the night
Where the heavenly bells chime
I really wanted to stop the clocks
To shout instead of doing the mime
But I could never escape the fatal flaw.
And that eulogy I could never write
Cause rhyming was such a waste of time
