Beckon Me

A Glimpse

All your questions befuddle me

All my answers bemuddle you

You said you believed in me

I didn't believe in myself

And I couldn't help myself

You made it so easy to leave

Before my back was turned

You shut the door

And I couldn't help myself

Glimmering beams of starlight

Beckon me, beckon me home

Beckon me home to a place

You never belonged

Before a day had passed

I cried my last

And I couldn't help myself

Now my life is my own

And I couldn't help myself

So spin around in your lonely circle

Where everything stays the same

Everything stays the same

Stays the same

The same

Same

Glimmering beams of moonlight beckon me home

Beckon me, beckon me

And I couldn't help myself

Love of life beckons me

Beckons me home to myself

A place you never belonged
