If You There

<br>Your beauty pulses like a distant star<br>Once you were so near to me and now you`ve gone so far<br>Wretched and asphyxed the word is in his stone<br> (Rigid and as fixed, the words, as any stone?)<br>Lying now - no move, nor speak no statue here alone<br> (Lying now, don`t move or speak ... alone?)<br>Living here just with a memory<br>A simple recollection that`s so dear to me<br>You said it`s logical that we should part<br>What`s pleasing to my intellect, must surely break my heart<br><br>Man will always want what he can`t have<br>It`s more than he can do just to be brave<br>He seeks perfection in a thousand ways<br>Just throw another shovel on his grave<br><br>Born to live<br>Born to die<br>Born to wonder<br>Why, why, why, why<br><br>If you there<br>Would you leave me wondering<br>If you there<br>I am one man under (I am one man only?)<br>If you there<br>Don`t leave me wondering<br>If you there<br><br>You say that all we have is what we see<br>Baby, all you understand is a little part of me<br>You said that I could never be the one<br>Promises evaporate in the angle of the sun<br>If the only certain thing is death<br>Walk a little nearer to it now with every breath<br>And if this time must wear a velvet glove<br>Then kindness and lies are the true friends of love
