Forevertown

Shadows fall on fallen stones that once held up the sky
Being there I felt at home, they've fallen, so have I
Now  you look out your window, as the stars fall like snow
You're waiting for someone who will never show

I can still recall the way you looked that night
We walked the silent streets until the red sunrise
The memory of your face is like the memory of that place
Calling me back to forevertown

So you're waiting by the phone, as your heart turns to stone
And I live in the past, hoping this memory will last

Light reflects into my eyes like waking from a dream
Washed away into the past like all the years those streets have seen
But I will never let this feeling go
Even if no one will ever know

Now the place where I live can never be my home
No American skyline could replace Buonarroti's dome
Where the warm breeze blows down from the hills that surround
My heart's true home, forevertown

Once upon a time I dared to dream of you and I
I fantasized that I would save your life
But now I can't remember how I ever lost track of you
Yet I know that's when I lost my spirit, too.

 ... trying to make this feeling last
