Encapsulated Tears

© 2016 Mark Cote

Did the sunlight
sting your eyes
did the night-time
chill your soul

is the bedroom
like a stranger
just a chamber
where dust will grow

and you must fly
and let it go
let it go
and fly away

(chorus) outgrow these tears
                  these encapsulated tears
                  outrun the years
                  of entrapsulated fears
                  when the windows you are looking through
                  are the walls of encapsulated tears

lovers whispers
are just paper
crumbled embers
in the snow

shadows walking
always backward
never forward
nowhere to go

and you must fly
and let it go
let it go
and fly away

(chorus)
(instrumental)

is the flutter
now just water
the waterfalls
of yesterday

bluebird sings
song forgotten
has it really
been that long

and you must fly
and let it go
let it go
and fly away

(chorus)
