How Can You?
How can you leave like this?
We never said goodby
Our ways parted
and you became a child
living backwards
into the just passed present
You are stripped away
before my eyes
Naked you progress
to an elemental state
You journey
without reason or thought
to the limit of your soul
Like a wandering dream
you return to God
