Blink

i'm hitting my legs and pounding my chest but my eyes just want to rest. Slapping and clapping to keep me awake, the lids of my eyes half- closed to the day. Now i'm on a round-the-clock watch to keep you in sight... keep you from flying. 'Cause i blink and you're gone. Your soul's so bright it rivals the sun. i blink and you're gone. Will i find the strength to carry on? You're like a thief, so taken with the night you steal the breath from inside me and i'm the victim of your flight you always deny me... i can't go on, this world's so cruel if the men don't get ya then the women will.
