In the Dark

David Lanier
So i sit here and wonder,

where did all the magic go,

and will it ever return.

So it seems i've blundered,

and i will never know,

why it had to burn.

Just have to be dancin',

keep on romancin',

another painful lesson,

waitin' to be learned.

Just gotta keep dreamin',

or i'll end up screamin'.

One more road to walk,

corners to be turned.

So i sit here just waitin',

thinkin' 'bout the sunshine,

'cause i'm sittin' iin the dark.
