Amanda Ruth - To Stay

To Stay

I'm pulled down an endless pit
I reach out for you and
everytime
you leave me

taken from me

Standing at the top
looking down on me
you hold your arms out
I almost touch you
then you vanish

Something inside me
shatters
pieces pierce my spirit
All I want is to touch you
But you're a shadow in the fog
I know you are there
and I can't see you

I hear you call out to me
Begging to be with me
It's an angelic voice to my heart
but it can't soothe
this hunger for your touch
that eats away at me

I'm cold in this deary prison
trapped with sullen hopes
Water drips on my dreams
there's nothing but the
echo
of your name
to keep me company
Your eyes were my lanter
here in this dungeon
they burned out
when you were torn away
I pray they'll bring you back to me
free you from your confines
to save me
Before I go
Blind
from this darkness
Deaf
from this silence and
Numb
from this separation

I stare at the opening
The clouds pass over
and I stare
people pass by
ignorant to my plea

I'm kept alive
knowing I live for love
I live for you
and I live for our lives together

I wait for the day
When I call your name

And you answer

I wait for the day
When I reach to you

And we touch

I wait for the day
When the sun rises an sets

And you are there with me...
