on the horizon

Seems I'll never learn to recognize
The tempest out on the horizon
Never thinking for a moment of
the storm's impact -- unpredictable and sudden.

Time after Time
I'll head for the storm

Each time the thunder crashes
and my soul jumps with penance.
Each time the lightening scares me
with sudden flashes of passionate brilliance.

Time after Time
I'll head for the storm

Each time it gets so alarmingly dark
Just like falling in a deep, deep hole.
Each time is a refreshing reminder
As the rain pours on me to console.

Time after Time
I'll head for the storm

Each time is different
with lessons that entwine.
Each time is the same
Putting my all on the line.

Time after Time
I'll head for the storm

why ask why?

Why did you say you loved me
when you knew you loved her more?
Why did we make sweet passionate love?
Is that all you needed me for?

Why do I listen to those melancholy songs
when all they do is remind me of our story?
It hurts more than I imagined
What can ever set my heart free?

You are my sweetest downfall
Why am I still under your spell?
There's nothing more in this world
for me but a living, loveless hell.

Why did we come together
when it was never meant to last?
Why did you swear we would be one someday?
Will I ever forget the pain of our past?

Why am I still missing you after all these years?
It is the curse that follows me throughout all my days.
I long to be in your arms once again
despite it all, I will love you, forever and always.
