Shimmer

She calls me from the cold
Just when I was low,
feeling short of stable
And all that she intends
And all she keeps inside,
isn't on the label

She says she's ashamed
And she can take me for a while
And can I be a friend,
we'll forget the past
But maybe I'm not able
And I break at the bend

We're here and now,
but will we ever be again
'Cause I have found
All that shimmers in this world
is sure to fade
Away again

She dreams a champagne dream
Strawberry surprise,
pink linen and white paper
Lavender and cream
Fields of butterfliess,
reality escapes her

She says that love is for fools that fall behind
And I'm somewhere in between
I never really know
A killer from a savior
'Til I break at the bend

We're here and now,
but will we ever be again
'Cause I have found
All that shimmers in this world
is sure to fade away again

It's too far away for me to hold
It's too far away....
It's too far away for me to hold
It's too far away....
It's too far away for me to hold
It's too far away....

Guess I'll let it go
