Beautiful Return
©2003 by Drew Kolar

i see the world falling down
and it's a long way to paradise
the rain crashes to the ground
and i'm staring at it through my window tonight
there's no sign of your car
as the storm blows through, causing confusion in the street
you didn't get very far
but it's been a whole damn day since we were to meet

and i wonder, will it change?
will you make it through the night?
and i'm waiting for something strange
some peace to wash things back to right

i try to think of the times
when we were so in love, it seemed to sting
and now you're miles from my mind
in need of love, i'd give up anything

and i wonder, are you mad?
is your anger what keeps you away?
and i'm waiting for news that's bad
but i still hope that you're okay

i've given you a home, i've given you a name
i've handed you my soul, and i'm only left with shame
i hope you can fogive the attitude i gave
i don't know when to stop, it's something i can't save

your body once was my boat
you rescued me from a flood of tears
i kept pushing you away
now i'm worried you're gone for the length of years

and i wonder, when you're home,
will everything be alright?
and i wonder, will we stare?
looking in confusion all damn night?

so now i sit in my chair
a phonecall would be nice, but you don't even care
it's my fault we've been burned
but i'm still waiting here for your beautiful return...
