I watch you from a distance, see you struggle silent Your body thin and weakened as if you fought a giant If I could stop the ticking the endless hours of waiting If I could win a battle or keep hope from abating Standing on the edges of your sorrow Beating like a bird against the glass Wishing time was something I could borrow And I would gladly give it if you asked But I can only sit here, small comfort, indignation So powerless to keep you from bowing resignation And as the sun slips sideways, extinguished in the ocean I see my face reflected in your eyes final motion Standing in the depths of all my sorrow Voices spilling round me like a wave All the dreams I know you cannot follow Still there are some others I might save I watch you from a distance, see you struggle silent Your body thin and weakened as if you fought a giant
