Song Lyrics: Missing Name

Written sometime in 1992, age 14
Spelling, formatting and overly poetic language preserved (::wink::)

When I was young
There was a girl
I knew her well
And she understood me
We saw through
Each other's eyes
I knew she was there,
But I never saw her.
We played at night.
We shared our dreams
I knew her name
One time....
She was there for me.

When I was young
She went away
I never had met her,
But I knew I would miss her.
Desertion
No one was there
I never quite found
The one who took up her place.
Where are you now?
I need you here....
Come play my dream
Like you did before
You know I need a friend.

I need you to help me to find my dream
A dreamer who finds the things I can see
What happened to you?
Do you miss me too?

After you left
I felt like Pandora
Trapped in a room
After I opened the box.
Innocence
Was taken away
Always before
You helped me drive away strangers.
When you dreamed
Of people unknown
You know I cared and helped you
Drive away all the dark.
The moonlight
Showed us the way
We were best of friends
Until that one fateful day.
We shared a name
We had the stars
You let me down
Dreaming's not the same
The security....gone.

You're like
A candle
One day burning bright
And then the next day blown out.
I want
To find you
You are who I search for
Every night in my sleep.
Who lit your flame?
Where did you go?
I want to know....
Do you want me now....
Like I need you now...?

I need you to help me to find my dream
A dreamer who finds the things I can see
What happened to you?
Do you miss me too?

Since then
I have grown up
I'm not the same person
That I was when I knew her.
Sometimes
I wonder
When will I meet her,
Or will I never know?
I knew her name
I know I knew
It seems so sad
I no longer know
What I used to know.

Do you
Remember my name?
Do you guide my dreams
The way I try to lead yours?
At night
I reach out for you,
I sing out my nightsong
But no answering call.
Where did
You go to?
I can reach everyone
But I can't reach you.
Did you go down
To endless sleep?
That would explain
Why my heart has died....
What was your name?

A bird that flew
That was me
If you're shot down
What happens to me?
You die
I live alone
With a
Broken wing
Birds that once
Learned to fly
Cannot ever learn
To be content on the ground.
I can't
Be alone
Come back
What was your name?

I need you to help me to find my dream
A dreamer who finds the things I can see
What happened to you?
Do you miss me?
Do you miss me....
Miss me....
Too?
You ran away....
Where did you go....
I want to follow....
You
You ran away....
Where did you go....
I want to follow....
I want to follow....
Follow....
You.
