Ghost Of A Stone

When I close my eyes what do I see?
My life is a day, which day is my last?
A thousand days but one I choose to go...

When I close my eyes I realize
The years have gone and things have changed
But the mirror shows the picture of a child
The twilight that I'm in denies a sight
The time has shown what a friend you are
If only I could know what we are living for

Momentary thoughts come over me
Memories have taken shape
Picturing the past into my mind
The colors of this world have strained my eyes
And what I have done was it all in vain?
If only I could know what we are dying for

I wished I had the ghost of a stone
One with the time wherever I go
They seem to outlast the dreams of the past
Feeding my soul with eternity

My heart will change into a grain of sand
A story fortress to defend
If only I could know where all the souls will go

I wished I had the ghost of a stone
One with the time wherever I go
They seem to outlast the dreams of the past
Feeding my soul with eternity
