Here I am
Reaching and fading to gray
In a picture you can't put away
There you are
Frozen, looking at me
Here I am vanishing
The needle plays the record
The morphine kills the pain
The thought of you so gentle
As the world fades away
A thousand times I needed you
A thousand times I've cried
The roses you planted
They've all died
If tears could build a stairway
And heartaches make a lane
I'd walk this path to you
And bring you back again
Now here I am
A shadow of a memory
Your words are cutting into me
Every piece of my life is up on the silver screen
Here I am vanishing
A thousand times I've needed you
A thousand times I've cried
The roses you planted
Have withered and died
If tears could build a stairway
And heartaches make the lane
I'd walk this path to you
And bring you back again
The needle plays the record
The morphine kills the pain
The thought of you is gentle
As the world fades away
A thousand times I've needed you
A thousand times I've cried
The roses you planted
Have withered and died
If tears could build a stairway
And heartaches make a lane
I'd walk this path to you
And bring you back again
The needle plays the record
The morphine kills the pain
The thought of you is gentle
As the world fades away
