Everything here is old
In this moonlight
Thoughts I've yet to have
Already fading
Like a faraway
Everything here is in the music
Cautious
Brittle
Weary spirits turn to say
These things we all know
Anyway

Piano plays
We light the way
With candles
Sweet mist sings
Forgotten things
Memories turned
Like a wedding ring
Piano plays
We make our way
Sing now

Waltzing through the wasteland
Darkness on our dreams
All it comes to take
All these things we break
Fall and follow at our feet
Scarred and chaste
This haunted place
Everyone hides
A tear-swept face
And we dance on
Forever
All alone
Together
We dance on forever
Wasted grace.....

this one takes me back to the time my husband took me to see the Phantom of the Opera in London... what a vivid picture you painted for me! Thanks.      I dare say that the gracefulness of that waltz is not wasted after penning these words, though.

Well glad you got something enjoyable out of it.
Have to be honest though, I could not have imagined when writing it that it would be in any way connected to Theater.
Humans are a vastly unique bunch, never know what you might hear next :-)

This almost comes across as a requiem, and
while it was somewhat melancholy, it certainly
had a bite of reality in it.

Thank you!
