what are you dressed in?
what are you falling for?
why have you lost you tears?
why have you answerd the song?
night is coming from anciet waves
of rivers that stream down
drifting over our naked eyes
so that we may be found
lost in dreams that cannot give
your heart to your soul
anger beckons you to sell your life
we you have lost all control.
dressed in satin for the evenings sake
hoping to romance your heart
taking laughter from your pain
the time is right to start
don't fall for the last goodbye
it isn't over quite so well
just to begin your feelings again
and hope to recognize your love
the tears are shed for distance sake
but you remain in my soul
closer than the fire storm
that rages out of control.

-Those lines got me the best. I love it. Can relate quite well. It's beautiful.

This is beautiful Michael.  I think the last three lines say it all.  It's amazing how such short sentences can convey so much.
