Song for Shannon ~ No Hiding Place in Love
for Shay
Time runs away on us
We have to do the best we can
While we can
That day we met
On the internet
We talked to end the world
To fix it girl (and fix us too)
Knowing it would never end
A friend who was all a friend
Might be
We swore enternal friendship
We trusted that
Two broken people with reflective souls
Two scarred bodies with pristine skin
Now we are stuck in the ether
Like victims of eternal sin
Time runs away on us
We have to do the best we can
While we can
On hand for the other, no hiding place
Like sister for sister
You said I was pretty
Embedded that dream
You as exotic as the east
Me way out on that beam
When you ended it (no choice)
I did not respond, chose not to fight
Acceptance in the face of this
I chose flight, I chose flight
Acceptance in the face of this
I chose flight
Now we are stuck in the ether
Like victims of eternal sin
You as distant as the east
Me still out on my beam
Still two broken people
Two scarred bodies with road map skin
Time ran us down
We did the best we could
We both chose flight
You ended it
We both chose flight
We both chose flight
