Hawaii

I lost you

I miss you

My feet have no direction

But I'm stumblin' through

The life I have to live

The smiles I have to give

I'm wondering now

When my pain will cease

The memories just torment me

But in slumbers peace

Can i reach you through the shadows?

Just to hold you once again

I dreamt you went away to Hawaii

I took a plane to take you back

I wish you'd never gone to Hawaii

So far away now, so please don't stay

In Hawaii

Land through the clouds

On a hill by the sea sits the mansion

Past gates adrift

Garden walls enclosing the lawn soiree

The garden people drinking

Smoking number six

Long dresses and bowler hats

In utter desperation

I stagger through the crowd

I hear you weep

At the bar by the stairs down to the beach

I run to see

Treacle feet muted voice I struggle on

The people holding me back

Say you cannot leave

I reach you you're lost you're scared

You do not recognise me

Your cold-eyed distant stare

They say you cannot leave from Hawaii

You're not allowed to board the plane

They say I must not stay in Hawaii

My heart is broken, I cannot leave you

In Hawaii

I gaze upon you

And reflect the lifetime memories with you

You turn and run

Along the path, down to the sea

I can't keep up

Sun lights the stepped garden to the beach

I'm losing ground

With every step the distance grows

I'm screaming please

You're down the steps to the next level

My sickness grows

I'm crushed by guilt I shouldn't feel

I can't go on, I can't go on, I can't go on, I can't go on

Suddenly you stop!

You turned and recognised me

Your smile washes over me

Like a slow swell in a warming sea

I feel your love

The sparkle in your eyes dries my tears

You remember me now and all the years

With happiness on your face now

You move with such grace and you're younger somehow

You carry on down past the next lawn

I stopped now, I did not follow anymore

With every terrace the years flew away

Last steps to the beach you catch the suns ray

You are young and you're beautiful

By the time you reached the sea

You have your whole life to live again

I wish it was with me
