Hearts as Cold as Steal

Now that I've found you all shimmering and white 

You're the perfect savior just so right 

Won't you just stay with me another night 

Until the shadows melt back into a nocturnal flight,

And so it goes on and on

Maybe I'll get some sleep just before dawn 

Maybe dream for love long gone

Walking down into the deadliest valley guns drawn,

Now that I’ve found you slipping away

Realizing time is running out each and everyday

Stay with me won’t you stay?

Words of desperation quickly fade to gray,

Spending silent moments studying the ground

The eternal mysteries that will never be found

Looking up into the sky I hear the bizarre sound

Of descending agony homeward bound,

There’s only one way out of this life

There can be no existence without strife

Like trying to carve your dinner with a blunt knife

Like living with the memory of an estranged wife,

Taking reality too seriously again

Since I can’t remember when

Running in circles I can’t defend

Broken hearted fantasies never seem to mend,

Could I bring you another glass of wine?

You made the water here taste so fine

But, I’m only mortal and unrefined

Can’t seem to reach out and touch what’s divine,

Don’t leave me just now

I’ll get to that point somehow

Just don’t leave me just now

Just noticed your fevered brow,

Now tumbling head over heels

The tears and the laughter I can feel

Impressions that seem all too real

I stumbled upon women with hearts as cold as steal.
