Outside Myself

A thin ice Covers my soul My body's frozen and my heart is cold And still So much about me is raw I search for a place to unthaw Something in me Broods love into fear It veils my vision leaves my thoughts unclear My eyes From blue turn to grey Hoping to mask what they say I've been outside myself for so long Any feeling I had is close to gone I've been outside myself for so long I have been In a storm of the sun Basking, senseless to what I've become A fool to worship just light When after all, it follows night I've been outside myself for so long Any feeling I had is close to gone I've been outside myself for so long, so long I've been outside myself for so long Any feeling I had is close to gone I've been outside myself for so long --- Outside Myself - k.d. lang
