Old, But Still the Same

I find it funny how I heard your voice
When I was the farthest away from you
A simple whisper
The breath of kings
But it echoed across time and space
To a memory
For a future I cannot forget

Yours was a simple word on the wind
Seemingly as lost as I
But you tracked me down
Through the sand and the storms
To the deserted desert town of my soul

This life of the real I cannot express
But you formed it from shadows
And to dust I return

So take my hand now
For tomorrow I'll ask for it

This week I may have forgotten
I may have set life aside for a rainy day
- how often that occurs -
But today the sun is shining
And this time the time doesn't matter

I've been through fires and earthquakes
You led me through the storm
The quiet moment came at last, then passed
Now I'm in the desert of the dream
The other has come to lead me away
So don't let go of my tired hand
I'm not like you
The temptations would lead me astray
