will you smile again lyrics

Close the door and drift away
Have faded out of reach.
Into a sea of uncertainty
Where all your hopes and dreams
Remember all the bad dreams
Would you write again for me?
Are not far from reality

(let me whisper something in your ear)

And you awake and there you are
And just how long did it take for you to understand
Not far off from the line before
Where your feelings stopped and writing began
Play to the hilt this unlikely role.
Convince yourself to take control
Remember all the bad dreams

Are not far from reality
Will you write again for me?
Have you forgotten just what you are?
And who bade you stop this living art?
If you don't want to then you could at least pretend
That the paper's your soul and your blood's in the pen
And read the truth that you had to write.
And maybe then you'd see the light
If heaven sent you downstream

Would you smile again for me?
Where banished eyes haven't been
You misread your fate line
Had long run out of time
Would you write again for me?
And you awake and there you are
Not far off from the line before

And just how long did it take for you to understand
Convince yourself to take control
Where your feelings stopped and writing began
Play to the hilt this unlikely role.

Where banished eyes haven't been
If heaven sent you downstream
Would you smile again for me?
