RECOLLECTION


Verse 1
You appear so alive
Still
Sometimes without
An effort of will
I see you in a crowd
Never you but like time allowed
For a recollection
To turn me around
Again
To face the truth
Alone and proud
To remember the vitality of youth
And
The falling rain
And the absence of pain
Chorus
You walked away
A Poor reflection
You could not stay
A dated recollection
Alive to this day
Of a lovers choice
The need to restore
To offer so much more



Verse 2
You are still there
Where the outer edge
Of my thoughts stare
Waiting to be caught
As I recollect
Our pledge that
Came to nought
The day you walked away
Bridge
Restore the recollection
That cries for more
Verse 3
Love cannot be taught
Memory still beats madly
A love created never dies
Only lies to breathe badly
While the heart cries sadly
Love sighs gladly
Dated to be fated
Bridge
Restore the recollection
That cries for more
Verse 4
You are here once more
Like a gesture before
The open door within
Hopes to win you back
And tries to track
Your trail
Love cannot fail
To leave some mail
In the store
To keep you wanting more
With the need to restore
Every lost detail
Chorus
You walked away
A Poor reflection
You could not stay
A dated recollection
Alive to this day
Of a lovers choice
The need to restore
To offer so much more
