Won't you let me write something
Something I can't deny
And won't you let me write a song
Something I can sing with a smile
When I'm alone
Can I reach up and touch the silver lining
Of a cloudburst just above my head
That I've been saving for you
And only when I'm here
Can I look up and see the stars
Pinpricks in my thumbs
Bleeding love into your eyes, my eyes
Won't you let me have the time
The time to spend before my days are gone
Won't you let me hold the light
Before passion burns these days I'm young
When I'm alone
Can I reach up and touch the silver lining
Of a cloudburst just above my head
That I've been saving for you
And only when I'm here
Can I look up and see the stars
Pinpricks in my thumbs
Bleeding love into your eyes, my eyes
