Will You Smile Again For Me - ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead

Close the door and drift away

Into a sea of uncertainty

Where all your hopes and dreams

Have faded out of reach

Remember all the bad dreams

Are not far from reality

Would you write again for me?

(Let me whisper something in your ear)

And you awake and there you are

Not far off from the line before

And just how long did it take for you to understand

Where your feelings stopped and writing began

Convince yourself to take control

Play to the hilt this unlikely role

Remember all the bad dreams

Are not far from reality

Would you write again for me?

And who bade you stop this living art?

Have you forgotten just what you are?

If you don’t want to, then you could at least pretend

That the paper’s your soul and your blood’s in the pen

And maybe then you’d see the light

And read the truth you had to write

If heaven sent you downstream

Where banished eyes haven’t been

Would you smile again for me?

You misread your fate line

Had long run out ahead of time

Would you write again for me?

And you awake and there you are

Not far off from the line before

And just how long did it take for you to understand

Where your feelings stopped and writing began

Convince yourself to take control

Play to the hilt this unlikely role

If heaven sent you downstream

Where banished eyes haven’t been

Would you smile again for me?

Would you smile again for me?

Would you smile again for me?

Would you smile again for me?

Would you smile again for me?

Would you smile again

For me?
