As cold as a soldier denying his destiny. As cold as a soldier denying his love. With a glaze of his gaze He severed the strand and we're strangers All my silliness of soul swept Out of his lap like cinders I watched, from a distance, his thickening skin And wondered if ever he'd let someone in. As cold as a soldier denying his destiny. As cold as a soldier denying his love. Remind me, again, that trust is all...and Find him a friend who's love won't fall At the back of his mind Someday he will find me waving He'll be too tired to hide His spirit too tired of waiting Alone, in the dark of his own chosen hell He'll suddenly burst through his deep-frozen shell Aflame with the fervor of dancing his destiny Aflame with the fervor of dancing his love Elizabeth Papapetrou, 1997 © Previous I Next Home - Bio - Tours - Press - Songs - Story - Links - Heart - Email
