When - Elysian Fields

When I am drifting in my dream

I love you

When I wake and nothing’s what it seemed

I love you

When the final midnight’s poised to stroke

I love you

And all of the looking glasses broke

When all of the aces have been drawn

I love you

When your king is cornered by my pawn

I love you

When you are asleep and so defenseless

I love you

When this wicked world has turned against us

Even though we didn’t kiss goodbye

I love you

When there are no tears in me to cry

When the willows weeping with desire

When the furthest cold and distant planet catches fire

Tear at the sky, haunted by windows

Those are the eyes

Always searching never seeing souls are sailing slowly lonely

When they’ve got our names down on a list

I love you

When I am recalling our first kiss

When you distracted and remote

I love you

When there is no voice left in my throat

When the rains a re spilling from the sky

I love you

When the thirsty riverbeds are dry

I love you

Though you never asked me to be yours

When the wild and restless waves are crashing on the shore

Tear at the sky crowded by windows

Those are the eyes

Always searching never seeing souls are sailing slowly lonely

When you are million miles away

I love you

When we’ve dropped our lines from this mad play

I love you

Though the longest battle is not won

I love you

When the stage is dark, the people gone

When my soul no longer takes this form

And you hear me singing in the storm
