Way Out

I hit the pillow late at night,

I feel a little dizzy.

I feel the emptiness inside,

I'm hardly even breathing.

 

I close my eyes--I see your face;

I open them--you vanish.

I'm sick of running through this maze,

I feel like I've been banished.

 

Again, I close my eyes, and now

I'm standing in a haze.

I see strange faces, but somehow

They all look like your face.

 

Then something happens--smog is cleared...

Did angel just flew by?

I turn around without fear,

And I begin to fly.

 

I feel your presence--you are near,

You're just behind that cloud...

All of a sudden, you appear,

You step out from the crowd...

 

You take my hand, you kiss my palm,

The warmth spreads to my toes.

You comfort me like soothing balm.

My melancholy's lost.

 

You make me laugh, you cheer me up,

Your hugs are snug and warm.

I feel so safe within your arms,

Never again forlorn...

 

The ray of light nuzzled my face,

I woke up and I knew:

I found my way around the maze--

My way out is you.
