Motionless in monochrome
Visions of a late flight home
And I know
You're not around
I know
It's futile now
Given all you ask of me
Understanding what you need
In a perfect world I'm silent
Perhaps naive
But I don't know what to say
Debase your name
So I'll still stay
Dethroned by shame
In some obvious way
A moment's grace
Until that day
Words lack embrace
Give time it's way
Wearing it with radiance
Hearing it with ignorance
And there's eight shades of blue in every room
In you
Still you're drifting into cars
Nighthawks afar
Unlit cigar in a crowded bar
Lone satellite
Swim in the night
Sounds blending into the blackened light
But I don't know what to say
Debase your name
So I'll still stay
Dethroned by shame
In some obvious way
A moment's grace
Until that day
Words lack embrace
Give time it's way
And when I see
See into you
Reflecting blue
In the common mood
My heart will ache
Yet I still wait
Dwell in your space
A lasting chase
But when I say
That I'm finally looking at the truth that lies in you
Comes a selfish feeling left unsaid
I'm dreaming
Not of you
