Think of all you taught me
I was the echo in your lead
You played Tailights Fade
for old time's sake
I practise every sentence
in front of the mirror, every word
We went from dust to dust
We travelled earth to earth
I never thought longer than one moment at a time
And just now
I want to see my future, I want to see everything that will come
through the mists here
Can I not even see my nervous thin hand that seeks yours
You give me no promises
and you make no demands
because you know exactly
what I can cope with
You see me as an equal
I behave as a child
An angel's patience
A devil's persistence
You never thought longer than the moment as it happens
and just now
Can we see our future, a hightech work of art
through the mists here
Your warm worn hand it closes carefully around mine
And takes me along
You have to leave me here alone
You have to leave me again
You must trust me now
It is not only the fear
That has bound me to you
You must trust me now
Think of how you have taught me everything be proud over your work
and play a song for us
for old time's sake
