From the recording Happening: A Movement in 12 Acts
Lyrics
8 - Protagonist’s significant other
What will our future hold?
I have so many dreams
I never thought it would be like this
When I was in my teens
I believe in true love
But what is happening?
Is it all floating away?
Why don’t the birds all sing?
I watched him lose his drive, his desire
We don’t make love anymore
I want to stand by my man
But I’m wondering what for
I won’t leave him alone like this
In his time of need
But sometimes I need one sweet kiss
For him to take the lead
I can’t support us both
And continue to grow
Something soon needs to break
Before I have to go
I can’t watch him every day
Wallow in his fear
It’s like his soul was taken away
And the end is near
He’s not the man I once knew
He’s a shadow of that now
The one who used to make me laugh
Has gone away somehow
