That Distant Shore

It all became so lovely
Those bluest skies above me
Those funny feelings I had never felt before I met you

I thought I'd stay a while
I tried to learn to smile
So many colors I had never even known

Maybe I'd find myself sitting on that distant shore
Maybe I'm not alone

Then I see the colors fading
Gentleness of light escaping
Shadows of my fear invading
Have I seen this all before?

I know that there's something residing
That terror deep inside me
I couldn't understand how you could be so bold

Maybe I'd find myself smiling on that distant shore
Maybe I'm not alone
