I watched you from afar
You grew away from me
But you knew there was a star
That shone for you, that is me
I still watch upon you from high
Casting my bright light
Hoping you would look this way
So I can glimpse you, my life
I fell in love from far
Across the cosmic space
You drew me in your life
Now I shine on you and gaze
Down on that pretty face
So beautiful from my seat
My throne, my kingdom
I wish to submit at your feet
I want you by my side
Not just to shine down bright
Trapped in echoes of my own world
I look upon your light
A mere human that you are
You drew me in your life
I wish to come down and take you
And share your simple life
Forbidden as I am
But still wanting more
Always know my presence
For you'll come soon enough
Caught in your whispering senses
Tender as can be
The simple life of a lady
Who gives so much as free
Look my way, my love
Though you may not see my face
Trapped in echoes of my own world
I try to give you what I may...
And now I hear you say,
"Is it now you realize
That even if dawn won't come to light
My window remains alight
Thinking you'll call my name tonight
Out in the shadows I creep
Wander under trees asleep
Carrying the smallest of lights
My eyes, they are my eyes.
I reach the water, I think
Of times I thought we linked
Wishing you'd come here and soon
I go back to my room
And find on my bed
A single rose, a single red
And one simple note that said
Three little words that meant
Almost everything to me."
And now...
Your final days there are nearing
I can feel it strong in me
The soul that longs for freedom
I'll bring you here to me
The last day has finished
Now you've joined me here
Only to spurn my ugly face
Now you see your guardian clear
Was my love in vain?
Was my care not enough?
Why do you choose another?
Why not me, my love?
There were so many things I wished,
So much that I hoped,
I gave you everything -
And now I’ve lost all.
My tears fall on shadows
of what I thought we'd be
Realize now your silence
Has forsaken life for me.
