Again Lyrics

Again lyrics

I stretch my hands,
clutch vacant laughter
in silence and sweet, sweet
pain;
without demand,
but with a longing
for what will never come
again.
I smell your perfume
on the sheets in the morning--
it
linger like the patterns
on the window after rain,
a past that
lives,
if only for th epresent...
which is gone and will never come
again.
to your sad eyes,
turned away, mine say
'Do you? Did you?
How?'
As the darkness
slides away the day
shows what was
and
makes what is now.
I see your picture
as though it were a mirror
but there's no part of you
outside the frame
except the change that
you game to me:
this will never come again.
I am me,
I was so
before you,
but afterwards I am not the same.
You are gone
and I
am with you:
this will never come again.
