The clouds stretch out for miles
And fog so thick, it blinds me
I cannot see the road ahead
I don’t know where it will lead

I can’t see the sunrise
But I feel the searing rain
I hear you softly crying
I hear you call my name
I can’t see the bottom of this
Never ending chasm I’m in
I hear you sobbing somewhere
I hear your voice within

And I need you to pull through
I need you to do it soon
Cause I can’t seem to break free
From where I stand
And I need you to hold me tight
I need that soft kiss goodnight
Cause I don’t want to live alone
I don’t think that I can

I can’t see my shadow
Upon the broken road
Yet I still hear you calling
I see your shining soul
Somewhere, I know you stand
Upon a tattered dream
I want to know I’m close to you
I want to hear you sing

And I need you to make me smile
I need you to make me cry
Cause I want you to make me feel
Like I’m more than just a man
And I need you to walk beside me
I need you to make me believe
Cause I can’t bear a life without you
I don’t think that I can

The clouds stretch out for miles
And fog so thick, it blinds me
I cannot see the road ahead
I don’t know where it will lead
The wind, oh how it howls
With rainfall so severe
I’m cold and so, so tired
But I won’t stop ‘til you’re here

And I need you to pull through
I need you to do it soon
Cause I can’t seem to break free
From where I stand
And I need you to hold me tight
I need that soft kiss goodnight
Cause I don’t want to live alone
I don’t think that I can
And I need you to make me smile
I need you to make me cry
Cause I want you to make me feel
Like I’m more than just a man
And I need you to walk beside me
I need you to make me believe
Cause I can’t bear a life without you
I don’t think that I can
I don’t think that I can
I just don’t think I can

I need you to hold me tight
I need you to make this alright
Cause I need a heart to call home
I want happiness again
So lover...
Take my hand

Fallen Angels hath been postponed due to lack of imagination for a preview. Silly, no? Well, I'm in charge of what I submit and thus, this is the product of my more recent writing. Apparently, where my head is at right now.

Perhaps... the connotations will give you imagery somewhat similar to one of the most overplayed songs of the new millenium- "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" by Green Day. Nay, that's not what I aim for. This is a ballad, I've sung this twice, and I found it rather enjoyable to do so.

What is it's lyrical meaning? Yes, I have interest in someone, I know not what the future may or may not bring, but this is what my thoughts have triggered me to transmit to paper- and- to the monitor I stare at now. So, I'll make something of this, for feedback from you people. In short: this is a summation of my feelings of a seemingly hapless want for this sole person, who also weilds the same burden ...loneliness.
"I need you to pull through, I need you to do it soon 'cause I can't seem to break free from where I stand."

I've put my heart on my sleeve.

Shoot an arrow at it, set it aflame, or squash it with a hammer. No, not your choice as much as it is my own.

Why?
Read. Then,
Understand.

Strong piece, very moving. But the lack of punctuation makes it slightly hard to follow. Really like it!
