distant

i remember the day
brushing hair from your face
danced alone in an empty room
there were just us two
and it was perfect
but something's happened to you

oh come on ye love
i'm working real hard
to keep from shedding these tears
letting you know i'm in love
i'm doing what i can
as fast as possible

i say come on ye love
i'm trying real hard
this love, this war, this is pain i've felt bofore
i won't remember
if you say
to go, i'll go, i'll go

i remember the instant
catching from the corner of my glimpse
attempting not to look to hard
for fear you'd suspect my intent
and it was perfect
but i fear something's happened to you

oh come on ye love
i'm doing my best
to turn sentiment away from unrest
i'll shield you if i can
you're obviously not ready
but this is harder than it seems

i say come on ye love
proclaim to me, exactly what's going on
i'm trying so hard to understand
but i'm not a psychic
i'm just a fool
a fool for you

i remember the night
i wrote these words
scribbling in silence
singing to myself
wishing you were torn as well
wishing this might decide this
endless uncertainty, but i'm confused certainly

so come on ye love
you have to let me know
i can't hold on forever
i know it's been short
but this is love, this is war
and my heart is yelling at my head to keep steady
trying to debate this is worth the unsettling
feeling in my stomach, worrying me to death
the last time i felt this way, i barely caught my step
come on ye love
i'm working real hard
to keep from shedding these tears
letting you know i'm in love
i'll do whatever i can
to keep you in the dark
