The days flow by in constant dusk

Hues of gray to stay the dawn

With each new lie, a different mask

In crowded streets, I stand forlorn

And still I see you everywhere

The ghost in memory lane from yesteryear

Yet when I reach to bring you near

You were never even there

Another lie in the liar’s lair

So why are you still

The song that resounds in Maple Lane

That sweet sibilant soft refrain

So why are you still

An unmoving mirage I could not unsteal

And still they say of time’s healing hands

When memories would fade by dawn’s early light

But still I’d see your face in distant lands

Of eternal dusk, just out of sight
