Fate tempts me when I look into your eyes
Time eludes me when I am with you
No matter the laughter, no matter the love
Darkness descends upon a destiny unknown
Sometimes there is a break in the clouds
Other times the danger to my heart looms large
I give but never take
I approach the edge yet never leap
I spread my wings but I cannot fly
I want to hold on though I keep slipping
A minute, an hour, an eternity teases me
I feel like I'm drowning and no one will save me
I have an open door and you hover just outside
You would rather sit in the rain than come in from the cold
I hold in my hand the world and it is not enough
You play in the labyrinth of my heart and never reach the end
What is this magick you spin when you are with me
You smile at me and I can never say "no"
You are the leader of doubts yet still chase them away
False hope shines when you look into my eyes
Yet you think my hopes and dreams are made of fantasy
You listen only to humor my romantic side
Your arms give security where there can be none
Still darkness continues it's descent upon a destiny unknown
And sometimes there is a break in the clouds
