lyrics

A blind display of tribute
This wreath around your portrait
Growing like vines
Until you're gone
Hidden beneath your purpose
The memory you left behind you
No longer navigates
The landscape of life

My thoughts have gone beyond
A mere fixation
Your silhouette
Haunts my dreams

Your golden hair so perfect
It's just as I recall it
You disappear
Into the sea
You can't feel the frozen air
As you look towards the sky
Yet here you are
You command the stars

My thoughts have gone beyond
A mere fixation
Your silhouette
Haunts my dreams

Your breath turns visible
Exposing this nights air
Frames I composed of our lives
Caused me the greatest despair

My thoughts have gone beyond
A mere fixation
Your silhouette
Haunts my dreams
