Bridges in the Clouds

I nearly thought I had forgotten you Moved on with this world And left the past behind. But I found myself humming What I know to be your song, To me it's your song. I'd heard it before somewhere, Before the day you offered me your earphones, But this was the first time I drowned in it Was lost in the floating song And words I could not quite understand. Was it a song of sorrow, of joy? When I reached for meaning I found myself listening To bridges in clouds And a strain that haunts me from time to time Even now, After so long. I remember you grinned when we found That you and I were the only ones Who bobbed our heads up and down to it While the rest of our friends shook their heads And shrugged at our defiance of nothing. And oh, how I wanted you to smile at me then. You're so far away that Today Your face is fading to fog And as clouds raise between us, That song is my only bridge anchored to you. I search, and I look, But I don't know the words Just thirty seconds of notes So I still don't know What it's supposed to mean. So I stand surrounded by white light and blue Watching golden suspension bridges without Any foundations sway gently in breezes, The last untangible way to meet you And I know it doesn't matter any more, but I Lost myself Once in that song and I can't quite find my way Back here so I fade and I Wonder if dreams Killed as seeds Might have grown to be bridges in clouds...
