Eren
(Written by Michael Firestone)
You watched her by the water
As her reflection rippled your mind.
And you knew that she’d been needing too;
And you knew that she’d been blind.
And you knew that you could love her
When she spoke to you in rhyme.
And the times that she loved you
Were the times you loved the best.
You closed your eyes and felt her hands
As she caressed your soul.
And you found the magic of human love
That your dreams of her had foretold.
And between the dusk and the morning,
Together you’d grow old.
And the times that she loved you
Were the times you loved the best.
Somewhere in the morning
Before the sunlight comes,
There’s a bird who sings that human dreams
Can never reach the sun.
And that somewhere between the earth and sky.
A love must find its end.
Now you wonder, did she love you?
And were the times you loved the best?
[Alternative last verse, rewritten in 2009]
Some time in the morning,
With darkness not yet done,
There’s a bird who sings that human dreams
Will never see the sun,
And that somewhere between the earth and sky,
The end of love must come.
Now you wonder, did she love you?
And were the times you loved the best?
