On the Outside

She was a woman troubled like a river Trees all around her But I only ever came near enough To hear her voice On the outside She was a woman inside a castle Knights all around her And I never found myself strong enough To reach and touch From the outside And every time I tried to swim across I thought I'd drown And every time I tried to climb that wall I thought I'd fall On the outside She was a woman frozen in a picture Frozen there forever With a smile that keeps me so warm inside But still I hide On the outside She was a woman farther than forever Nearer not together And I only wish I was back in time 'Cause she'd be mine On the outside But every time I tried to find the love I left behind And everytime I tried to make her mine Again I'd find... Myself On the outside
