A song from the monolith...

[Kugyou]

An old attempt of mine, rewritten. It's supposed to be a ballad...just wish I knew someone who could help me put it to music.

"Getting By On Firelight"

[Intro, sotto voce]
I've been getting by on firelight
Waiting for the moment when I would see you
Walk back through that door
And dive into my arms

I whisper these words into the sky
(Getting by on firelight)
I watch for your return
From where I do not know
I wait beside the fire
Watching ever faithfully the stars
I dream of another life
A life with you, a life without you
I know not where I stand
You forget me - I protest too much
(And I've been getting by on firelight)

[Chorus]
Your eyes flicker in the dark
And I cannot turn away
Spinning helplessly into infinity
The dream that fades so fast
I've been getting by on firelight
And I cannot go without you
One more day

Light arcing between your eyes
The loving fire from deep within
And all I've ever known
Is the flame in your heart
Forget me and protest not
As I drift into oblivion
I've always known it would be this way
As our worlds collide and combine
I shall want no more

[Bridge]
You make me quiver in despair
Despair of my own soul
I know not who I am
And I know now who you are
When stands tall the fire in the night
I shall survive again

[Repeated, fade out]
But I've been getting by on firelight

That's great Kugyou! ^__^ I love it!~ I wish I could help with the music part but I don't know how. Beautiful job tho on the lyrics.

[Akanari]

Pretty. :] It would be great to hear that be put into a song. I know someone that knows Elton John. ;D Just kidding, well, I'm not kidding, but I'll shut up now. Fabulous ballad. :]

Lovely lyrics. I really like them. Wonderful job!
