Who's to blame, who's to say What is going on inside your head? I have lost you time and time again As to what I have seen: Unexpected acuity of thought That is gone before too long And I say "I know you're there; Stay with me." Even though I watch the light fade from your eyes Fade to black Why won't you talk? Is it me? Have I somehow clipped your wings before You could even try to fly? In the light of the sun In quiet, lonely rooms I hear you sing I'll be here for you, now don't you cry And I say "I know you're there And I am aware Stay with me." Even though I watch the light fade from your eyes Never to return In silent corners of my mind You are just like me Behind these eyes, I know somewhere: A brilliant mind, distraught No matter what awaits ahead A new light has begun I see you and I see things The way that they are Ahead lies a path Of thorns and sorrow I'll hold your hand And sing a lullaby I know you're there; And I am aware Stay with me, even though I watch the light fade from your eyes Still, you're just like me Behind these eyes, I know somewhere A brilliant mind, distraught No matter what awaits ahead A new light has begun
