[SuperBluehaze]

Karen I remember you, and those desperate leaps;

how we wished to touch the stars, and burn bright.

Karen we were always doomed;

the darkness settles slowly on some of us, but settle it does upon us all.

Tonight I remember you Karen with love in my heart for our desperate flights.

Still I hunger, and leap like a fool;

Karen do not feel too bad; do not feel cheated,

rather I should.

Still i love you.

[SuperBluehaze]

Karen I remember you;

your desperate flight,

that chase into night.

I remember delicate secrets, an understanding that moved between us;

though I hardly knew you.

I did not say it then.

Karen I remember you,

and that is true.

I love you.

Once again i come to this place of lost dreams; we are all damaged by life, by ourselves, our parents. Myself, i am a man that longs to be touched, as i once touched you. That understanding that moved between us was silent, for we both knew we were lost. And though I never told you then I tell you now we are both lost, lost to the sun, I still remember you I love you and I wonder

This song is for Karen but Debbie too; I understand, I have been there too. We must choose.Who else can,we are doomed. Lost in reflections, we are shadows that hunger for home; light that burns so bright, we must run from it. Run into the night, the fright; We shimmer, we fade; what else can we do to shine in this night. Karen, I love you, true. Karen, I remember you. Though i never said it, we were dashing shadows in the night. I never thought, or took the time, to think;

Thank you, Dave.
