If My Hand Could Block The Sun

on clearer days I can see the lights from my bedroom window.
on windy nights I can smell the lake where we kissed the first time as it drifts to me from the shore
the traffic lights silently change a thousand times a day but I'm still waiting,
yeah I'm still waiting for you to come home
if my hand could block the sun,
would we ever wake up?
Would this ever-night end?
If I turned back all these clocks would that be time enough to live?
I can't remember exactly when this longing began
but I know it wasn't before the day you touched my hand,
laugh and shout in blissful daze and you knew before i did,
yet here i am, I'm still waiting,
yeah I'm still waiting
if my hand could block the sun,
would we ever wake up?
Would this ever-night end?
If I turned back all these clocks would that be time enough?
so put your hands where I can see them,
and shut your mouth,
I know who you are,
in a world silent and feeling
you called me beautiful when we were just friends
your heart I know
we are the torches in the dark
let's break this down,
let's make this count,
let's leave this town
no better time than now
the angels dance like feathers float,
they're here to see and to be seen,
the clock strikes two,
the music slows and each one slowly dons their wings,
once outside they all pair off
and hand in hand they leave
but I'm still waiting,
yeah I'm still waiting
cause we need wings
if my hand could block the sun,
would we ever wake up?
Would this ever-night end?
If I turned back all these clocks would that be time enough?

Wow. I really like this. Wonderful, subtle imagery within a plaintive love tribute. The pain and beauty are carefully balanced in the stanzas. I read it about five times and its a strong poem, nay song lyrics. I kept hearing music when I read it, and started singing it. Lets hope you put it to music, because I would line up to buy this one.
