Melting Time

© 2009 Mark Cote

frameless walls in this darkened cave
all that I had was all that I gave
all for the love of pretty you
into the autumn wind you flew

all that's left is a shell of me
a shadow of what I used to be
the memories of another day
haunt me to this very day

(chorus) melting time... as the world spins around
                  the pain in life feeds the flames
                  melting time... I flow along
                  to the tune of an unsung song
                  melting time... in this soup of grey
                  sunshine on a rainy day

heart on my sleeve hope in the wind
must take life's dirt on the chin
if my days come to a lonely end
a true heart I never pretend
(chorus)
