A Predictable Vision
I still was a little weak
But it didn't matter
Color was come back to my cheek
And I was fast getting better
Thanks to Rue
I've got what I craved
An eagles feather
In my hair it was weaved
Gettin' a job
Was the next thing to do
I had to talk to Rob
Who lead a Hotel with Rue
As I heard she'd finally gotten
To let her dream come true
My thoughts got back
To the poor man I found
When I was finding his track
And he laid on the ground
I had been afraid
And for sure I still was
I hope he had made
it - or at least in peace did pass
My thoughts flew around
The street and the sound
Of the eagles cry
I'd never felt so lost
Not in the whole past
Though I always was shy
In the past weeks
I've lost this shyness
I didn't know if it was good or bad
I had always been honest
To myself
But now I couldn't be
If I was
It would destroy me
"Don't ever leave me alone!"
I told my soul
"You have to stay with me
Cause you're all
I still have
And I still crave
And I'll never lose
In my life!"
I felt tired and ill
I laid back again
Imagining a waterfall
I knew I'd recognize him when
I got there
With her
I didn't know who she was
Nor how I should pass
Her path and her life
But she'd showed up in my mind
Her tousled red hair
Curling around her shoulder
A campfire was burning
My stomach was turning
I couldn't understand
What happened right here
It wasn't real, was it?
Down my cheek rolled a tear.
I didn't know this girl
But soon I sure would
I only hoped it wouldn't mean
That to leave the town I had
