outside the windows
a star is coming loose
who says it's fiction?
I can't hide
when I see the border
the horizon's on the rise
white lights on black water
my world comes in waves
I know
I want to live later
but I have to live now
hope is forgetting
I'm reminding myself
my footsteps are drumming
for a silent parade
let the guards of the gift shops
infiltrate masquerades
I'm balancing presents
in my empty hands
at least
I'm keeping my promise
at least I will try
I'm back in the bookstore
redecorating the walls
using newspaper headlines
finding truth in the rumors I've bought
on sell-out street corners
imaginations go to war
the eye and the arrow
we've seen it before
this time
if I ever get through
I've got reasons to find
I've got reasons to find
I am changing my mind
