'Cello Song

Strange face, with your eyesSo pale and sincere.Underneath you know wellYou have nothing to fear.For the dreams that came to you when so youngTold of a lifeWhere spring is sprung.You would seem so frailIn the cold of the nightWhen the armies of emotionGo out to fight.But while the earth sinks to its graveYou sail to the skyOn the crest of a wave.So forget this cruel worldWhere I belongI'll just sit and waitAnd sing my song.And if one day you should see me in the crowdLend a hand and lift meTo your place in the cloud.
