White Wall

Springtime of new years
The young thoughts see more dreams
While you live on the wind
How lovely it all seems
With moments yet unshared
And wishes incomplete
The stars above your head
The world beneath your feet

Suddenly your nights
Begin to seem so long
There's no one there to touch
When things start going wrong
You finally realise
You've never loved at all
And everywhere you look
You see the white wall

Your father's been too far
Your mother's been too near
And now you're on your own
Withdrawing in your fear
Through long and sleepless nights
The foxes are running free
You long to be with them
When the scare meets the sea

You climb and then you fall
And then you try again
You curse yourself aloud
For living so weird
And took it to the ground
Your eyes are filled with tears
Imprisoned there you lay
In the autumn of your years
