Daydreams
Time ticks by
It goes so slow
When you're alone
Nowhere to go.

No one to talk to
No one to hold
No warm embrace
When the nights are cold.

The howling wind
The driving snow
The only sounds
You come to know.

In time the ticking
Drifts away
As into daydreams
You're conveyed.

Sometimes the daydreams
Turn so dark
Inspired by a memory
Or a simple remark.

You snap to reality
Your heart beating fast
And know that this daydream
It will never last.

So you breathe in and out
And slow down your heart
Hear the wind and the snowfall
And then let the tears start.
