Forgetting it All

I never had to look far for my hero. He raised me.

I look and see her...forgetting it all
as that look floats past her face
I wish I could jump inside her head
or that we could both leave this place
together we've been
together we'll go
love starts fast
and then moves slow...away
forgetting it all

I watch her wander....forgetting it all
I see unsteadiness in her eyes
I wait for the hand to comfort me
but it's no longer wise
together we were
together we are
I just can't let her
get too far....away
forgetting it all

moving it all from her reach
as I thunder on and preach and preach
tut tutting her not wanting to see
just what it's taking away from me
just what it's taking away from me

I watch her loveless....forgetting it all
my heart grows hard then soft again
we'll leave as we've always been
the two of us as friends
together we'll stay
we'll  meet once more
she'll know just what
I'm looking for that day
forgetting it all

moving it all from her reach
as I thunder on and preach and preach
tut tutting her not wanting to see
just what it's taking away from me
just what it's taking away from me

I look and see her...forgetting it all
as that look floats past her face
I wish I could jump inside her head
or that we could both leave this place
together we've been
together we'll go
love starts fast
and then moves slow...away
forgetting it all
