Shimmer

He calls me from the cold
Just when I was low, feeling short of stable.
And all that he intends
And all he keeps inside, isn't on the label.
He says he's ashamed
And can he take me for awhile.
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
Cos I have found
All that shimmers in this world is sure to fade.
Away, again.

He dreams a champagne dream
Strawberry surprise, pink linen and white paper.
Lavender and cream
Fields of butterflies, reality escapes him.
He says that love is for fools who fall behind.
And I'm somewhere in between
I never really know
A killer from a saviour
Till I break at the bend.

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

Guess I'll let it go.
