Moment

There's golden sunlight when I'm with you
Its everything I need and nothing I want
We laugh and scream and twirl until I can't remember which way is up

But then I remember, and I start to go again
Back to the empty moonlit chess match that holds me
I have to understand, have to think, have to survive
Can't belong to the moment

But YOU! you float along airy and cloudless,
Bleary-eyed and innocent.  Can't you see the glory
In the damnable shadows that draw me
Away from you and your wretched moments

Why do you love them so?
They're meaningless and intangible
Each and everything has been accomplished
Fantastic things will happen
nothing is left

The present is a bare and barren plain of existence
But, somehow, when I'm with you...
