Walking down an empty street

I walk down an empty street,

Just guided by my feet,

My shirt torn at the shoulder,

My head feels like a boulder,

I won't grow young but just grow older,

I begin to wonder,

Why I still haven't told her,

Looking down my vision gets blurry,

Tears roll down my cheek in a hurry,

Thoughts of you I cannot bury,

Without you I'm incomplete,

I can hardly stand on my feet,

When you're near I feel a bit stronger,

How I wish you could have stayed for a little longer,

Promises I have made and promises I have to keep,

As I walk down this empty street.

Life is a barren desert,

I walk thru the sands of time,

Never know what I am here for,

All I need is a simple sign,

A simple clue, a point in the right direction,

A little help in this test of time,

There is no helping hand to guide me,

Only a single set of footprints left behind,

This is my quest to find the answers,

A simple yes or no will suffice,

The monotony of the desert seeps in,

The soft wind whistling in the night,

I hear a beacon from the forest,

A shout from the green sea,

Have I been in this desert too long?

Will I ever break free?

You mean the world to me

I wish that you could see,

You mean the world to me,

And I'll do anything for you

They say that we're just friends,

How long can I pretend?

And hide the person I really want to be,

You share your agonies,

But it won't take much time you see,

To heal and fade your scars away,

I haven't thought this through,

But there's only one thing left to do,

Just say the words that i need to say,

All that I want to do,

Is spend some time with you,

And just hope that it never ends,

I merely stand in line,

Waiting for my turn,

Waiting to get something back,

Something in return,

I'll always be here,

Standing next to you,

I'll always be near,

Waiting to walk with you.
