I've tasted tears like these before And though they are the I have known Their simple is none but one of joy For now it seems I may not be this earth as I have been 'til now A truly unexpected of fate For I had given up on Especially myself, and it late Too late for any soul to a line His hook hit the ice and snap in two But someone blew a kiss and his breath Unfroze what ne'er a roaring fire do An now is mine and from the start I that I was bound to let him in But while I smile I weep because I That something so that this can begin God, what a am I, or am I wise? For years have I hidden in my heart The name of one who had been more But whom I about and set apart From other men, though did I tell My feelings, nay, but used him as a An inspiration, something to But rarely did I on what I'd lose If ever my affections were By someone living, breathing, warm and For while I pledged my to him in song The for me I knew he did not feel If I could the truth, I'd say I planned To go on in this fashion for all I didn't care he care for me As long as I could own him in rhyme And have someone to think about night When after torment wracked my soul To writhe in sorrow, bathe in pain's To fill my was my only goal Until the day I dared to call it For this love was the only I had And somehow I could keep the away For in my mind I was alone And thus in love, though with a specter, I never did expect, nor wish, nor To take another in that place Though in my I knew no one was there Yay, in my mind, but not so in my I loved, I swear I loved, why this pain When of my will I up the door And swept the space where I swore hed And something dies me as I sweep As something new is in every tear Past years of memories I long to A future that I both long for and There really was no question it came This shooting star, both fire and Who never gave me time to my choice But made my his own with each caress For once and only I did not think Where I feel and for that I was proud But it was one to enact the part And else to say the word aloud For once I had, I a shadow fade Which over me had for all these years And no true loss in all the could match The sense of passing with my tears I known 'til then how lost I was Enveloped in this mist of my So much of me my muse had become That in my no star was seen to shine Unless it bore some of my phantom's Or carried strains of in the beams Until my soul was open to the No man could enter, except in my Its over now and I am not I know full what I am meant to do But late at night when I recall my I cry for us as though he knew That I had years to hear my name Once spoken as it should always been Id wait there but someone real appeared And stole the heart no man hope to win If to my muse I'd said hello It might not this much to say goodbye But there is something tragic in scene Which may as joyous to the eye Of anyone who witnesses Bound in the arms and of my new friend Completed in a way I've been And healing wounds I thought would mend The truth that my reality The I dreamed but never thought Id meet And now I don't look except in dreams Yet when I do the pain is always For pain can show me who I was And from that girl to me how much Ive Ive never tasted tears like these And yes, they are the I have known
