Noble Art

One day you might blink and realize
You haven't seen a friend for twenty years or so...
Time waits for no man with its crushing hands of fate
There might not be another time

I know, we felt forever lasting, feasting in those days

You laugh telling me it's not the darkest night
Yet deep inside we feel like shooting stars

Out on the road of life I've learned how to walk
Down memory lane with you upon my shoulders

With each grain of sand falling, we learned
The shape and size of life - our footprints in the sand

In this sleepless isolation I can finally bear the weight
Of the unspoken words we carry

I am because you are
As you are just because I am
I was because you had to be
You are because we were

Since the time when I was taught on how to read
To the noble art of storytelling
From worshipping of flesh and bones
To an introspective journey of sacred tones
You are the missing melody, the link between two worlds
And all this
It's just because you are

You are just because I am
I was because you had to be
You are because we were

Since the time when I was taught how to read
To the noble art of storytelling
From worshipping of flesh and bones
To an introspective journey of sacred tones
You are the missing melody, the link between two worlds
And all this
To a retrospective journey through flimsy chords
You are the missing melody, the link between two worlds
And all this

It's just because you are
