Andromeda

Dawn, why were you hiding? Your clouds just melted through the horizon They were gold, red and purple Peeling backwards in the sun Like the layers of a rose The night held me as hostage With its black blanket over my eyelids Couldn't go any further Than I ever did desire From the cold comfort of your ghost Quicksand in the foggy woods behind me Flashing haunting images of darker times But like the child who sees only what he's after I didn't spy the other spinning gears in tandem Gone, but not forgotten Above, but not beyond it Tore it down and teased the remnants But thinking too much means to ache And we're better when we don't Quicksand in the foggy woods behind me Flashing haunting images of darker times But like the child who sees only what he's after I didn't catch the signs pointing towards the better plan
