unrequited night

in the great awakening

silver strands of time

i dreamt that you were young again

i dreamt that you were mine

in those unrecorded hours

on that unrequited night

in the way you looked at me

as you lost me to the light

there were others before us

strangers in this life

hoping for a future

hoping it'd be bright

and they held on to their loved ones

wrapped their arms around their ghosts

hoping not to lose them

hoping that they'd never go

in the great awakening

silver strands of time

i dreamt that you were young again

i dreamt we still had time

in those unrecorded hours

on that unrequited night

in the way you looked at me

as you lost me to the light
