Comeback (09-23-09)

Is the heart of this man stuck in time
like a lady bug flying back to a home
that is no longer there
in the wake of the crashing seasons
dreamed upon stars I can no longer see

The spell of the leaves about to come this way
In the simplest of words, I've been lost during this day
Distant times, among distant stars
Always thinking about what I don't have

Want to see another blue sky
blanket my heart and renew my hope in love
uneven feelings seasoned with raindrops I can still taste on my tongue
looking for moments worth keeping and remembering

bedtime stories I can no longer remember
Nothing now and nothing then, keeps me warm at night
In fields of street cars
still trying to drive away from my past

Taking heart in my Lord and Savior
to see me through until the very end
