The Tear Garden

The Tear Garden


Hit rewind 
You sit surrounded 
By a frame 
Your laugh infectious 
Hair in flames 
Your star was lonely 
But it lives 
Don't have the time for tears 

A step beyond 
Deep in the corner 
Of my eye 
I swear I saw 
A curtain rise 
I can't be certain 
I could be seeing 
What I want to see 

Just who guides these hands 
When they're shaking with frustration 
When scraping in the sand 
Who provides the inspiration 
Who whispers from outside 
When all seems desperation 

"Seize the future..."
