Enchanted

I close my eyes , and your presence fills the whole world
Beyond the silken screen of darkness, a haunting memory

I sent my thought to you on the wings of a beautiful dove
But it flew back to me empty, without a promise of love
I should go searching for you, but that would never do
Noone has ever seen you, not in the way I always do

It is all so hopeless; it is all so strange and hopeless
These fugitive moments that come without a single word
It is so distressing; sometimes I think I am dead
It seems to me, you only live inside my head

I open my eyes , a gloomy emptiness fills the world
Around me a lifeless void, scorned and spurned by all
Frantic I strive to gather, fading memories of your presence
But it is all impossible; they never come back together

I try, but the pictures; they are constantly dashed to pieces
Like sparkling stars shot down they crash into the dark abyss
Maybe this is a simple madness; maybe a stubborn wish
I grasp at the sweetness, but it takes wings and flies away

I should ask the rushing world, where it is you may be found
I should ask those gray faces, if you truly can be found

It is all so hopeless; it is all so strange and hopeless
These fugitive moments that come without a single word
It is so distressing; sometimes I think I am dead
It seems to me, you only live inside my head
