Elizabeth Sheaffer - Calrity, Thy Name is Daniel lyrics

Standing alone in an abandoned street, The dark of night closing in... Gazing up at the sky, trying to rein myself in... My mind scattering like a million red birds aflutter. You came walking up, as I lay there- A soul I could easily relate to... Insomnia linking us together- So despised-but it brought us together. I stood then, I stood; I rose from the depths. I faced you; I stared at my future. I sank then, I sank; I fell down into you. I fell into you right there. Deeper, deeper, I drowned myself in your eyes. 'Speak, ' I willed myself. I'd planned to speak, Not to gape at this nighttime apparition- Fawning like the schoolgirl I technically was... You were there, we were there, abandoned street... You took my hand and asked my story. 'I'm a girl. I'm nothing. I'm everything. I'm here.' 'I'm here...' you whispered, and yes, it was true. You, the only clear image in an unclear world. You, my nighttime apparition, come to rescue me. Come to save me from myself. You're a dream... Won't you be my reality?
