Disappeared

There was a time That you were so bright, and so strong There was nothing that you feared Nothing you could do wrong Dreams glowed in the sun Your world was alive So full of life, hard and wild You were the golden child Head-long into the withering fire Of a life in a dark space Your conscience, became misplaced Smoke that would not clear No kind words offered to your ears Shot down in a steep climb You disappear in a haze of smoke and wine Well I'm waiting and I wonder Where've you gone why are you not here We're waiting and we wonder Where someone goes when they've been disappeared Seperation of your thoughts Words that no longer rhyme Days spent in your room Spinning webs with the threads left of your mind Dreams you no longer face Hidden away in some far place A shame of a kind that does not erase Hold onto your pillow and drop out of the race Head-long into the withering fire Blindfolded, stumbling across a tightwire Shot down in a steep climb You disappeared in a haze of smoke and wine Well I'm waiting and I wonder Where've you gone, and why are you not here We're waiting and we wonder Where a soul goes when it's been disappeared I see you and I speak tyo you There ain't nothing in your eyes but the glow of fear I beg you to tell me Why have you been disappeared The struggle of these last years Brought me to this place Where I hold my beautiful wife My beautiful child I reach and touch her face All the hurt of my lost years The uncertainty, all the fears The losses, regrets and the tears Have in time been disappeared Have with time been disappeared They will with time --- Disappeared - John Wesley
