You
You, 2017
You stood up and stood out. Now you stand among my memories and you sort them out. You take the new ones in and you get them caught up to speed, you guide them on how we do things around here. I helped you take a load off your chest and now you take a load off my back.
Thank you.
I looked through the
Crowd, and I saw you
There, in your
Red and golden costume
Rare creature
Thought you seemed different that day, and you
Looked at me and you
Came to my side and said
"There′s too many people here
There's too many faces
Let us go somewhere
Where they won′t judge and stare"
There's too many people here
And too many voices
Let us go somewhere
Where I can sing to you
To you.
You insist that you
Shared your world with me and I'm
Guilty, let me
Make it up to you
Let′s go
Someplace far away, let′s
Run away to some
Place out by the sea
Cause I can't afford to see
You drifting away from me
Like a withering stream
Or a shifting daydream
But you′re still here you
Still make me happy, and I'll
Do my best, to make
Sure that you are too
But there′s too many people here
There's too many faces
Let us go somewhere
Where they won′t judge and stare
There's too many people here
And only you matter
Let us go somewhere
Where I can sing to you
To you.
Where I can be with you.
