Sparkle [Cover]

Seems like I run too wild now In others’ eyes, I’m just a beast to tie down I know they hope to tame me, though I’ll make the struggle grandiose Watching the hours slip away Dare we to kiss? I think we should, and you know, I I say that we should plan to meet one day In the place furthest from goodbye! And so we’ve reached the very day Yesterday’s only the prelude to the prologue I think it’s fine to skip to the page Where I’ll be myself at last! What I know, what I’ve seen Spread like a blight over the leaves of my courage Unprecedented is the speed that I’ve Reached as I run to dive into you! Within the arms of somnolence In lukewarm cola’s soft embrace That we were somewhere far from here I saw in a dream The electric train that the rising sun rides Outside the window, it jolts along right past our class to dawn! Ah, oh - Where fate and futurity can’t reach No, no matter how far they extend their arms In such a place, their meaning denied We’ll find that, for certain, we’re falling in love! The clock’s long, slender hands now look askance They gaze upon us two as the hours advance And in this world of ours, let’s live out each day For all this life - and not just one Let’s live out each life to come! “How do you do?” Time and again Such simple words that seemed our souls to sunder And then, in just one day One thousand years had passed away! How I despised the world drunk on words, Written in terms that were just denotation But one August morning learned When we were standing there, face to face, To look through a kaleidoscope A honey-can can be one because you showed me And the true textbook of this world Is there in your smiling face Even through days that felt like lies I found a meaning all my own! Whatever tragedies arose I still dared to hope! Then you were standing there outside my door Carrying all of the pieces that form, oh, your whole! Oh! Where fate and futurity can’t reach No, no matter how far they extend their arms In such a place, their meaning denied In that place Dare we play Or embrace… I… Love is an incense like you Echoing all your soft perfume Even your steps bloomed into joy With a smile in each note of your voice So I’ll gather up every part of you Knowing your life must fade away To scorch you deep into my memories Oh, just as you are Could never be mine by right But that it’s my duty is fine! Where fate and futurity can’t reach No, no matter how far they extend their arms In such a place, their meaning denied We’ll find that, for certain, we’re falling in love! The clock’s long, slender hands now look askance They gaze upon us two as the hours advance And in that world of yours, let’s live out each day For all this life - and not just one Let’s live out each life to come! Oh! Oh! Ah!
