Vanishing Path

When I opened my mouth
And no song could rise
And the knot in my throat
Could not be untied
I began searching
Desperate to find
The piece of me out there
The piece that had died

I slept in the canyon
A million stars blazing
The crickets were singing
Their heartbreak refrain
In that sweet darkness
I could finally hear
The pain in my heart
The sound of my fear
The life I knew
Is a vanishing path
Nowhere to move forward
No way to turn back
Ave Maria, Send me a dream
Between who I was
And who I will be

For so long I've known
Who I wanted to be
She is brilliant, beloved
Much better than me
There's no way to find her
I know she is gone
So I dance among the endings
As I write a new song

The life I knew
Is a vanishing path
Nowhere to move forward
No way to turn back
Ave Maria
Send me a new dream
I know who I was
But not who I will be
