"I'm Just One"

Twilight's reverie won't give chase
Refusing to touch the face
But let them bow before the sun
Before all is lost, nothing won

I'm just one; one thought
Just one stare among these suns
I'm just one; one smile
One dream not yet undone

Don't turn back just yet
The path is long and sun hasn't set
Take the land and smile
You haven't lost the dawn's child

Almost lovers won't make it
Not through these doors, they won't fit
It takes one to open the other
Finding questions like touching another

Bring it back, we haven't finished this race
Hold out your hand and touch the eve's face
Trace down its memories, no lies this time round
Better to have known and lost; you know its all gone

I'm just one; one thought
Just one smile among these times
I'm just one; one smile
One dream you won't find

Another time but without a place
Keep searching for your lost grace
Give a smile to the watching dawn
Before all is lost, nothing won.
