A Gaslight Elegy,

You tapped me on my shoulder
Bathed in morning light
I woke up brokenhearted
From a bad dream last night
It’s been so long
Since I looked in your eyes
And down here at the bottom
I’m beginning to realize
You were the voice
Inside my troubled head
Turning, always turning over
Everything unsaid
And I heard
“Hey! Listen!”
Waiting there for you
And now that I’m here listening
Please tell me what to do
Without you
I thought I saw you out there
In the twilit summer sky
Between the clouds and faceless crowds
And shadows crawling by
I’d turn back
Time for you
But even if I could
I wouldn’t know what to do
You were the voice
Inside my troubled head
Turning, always turning over
Everything unsaid
And I heard
“Hey! Listen!”
Waiting there for you
And now that I’m here listening
Please tell me what to do
Without you
