this great divide

your heart seems impervious

at least from where I stand

I try hard not to obsess

but I'm still at your command

I want to give you space

just as you give me mine

I'm the one who's a scapegrace

though I love to see you shine

though one day I will be free

that's none of your concern

cause I doubt I'll ever be

the one who makes your fire burn

how many mistakes did I make

how many words did I waste

why does your timbre make me quake

when did I lose that sweet foretaste

you hold a timbrel in your hand

I hold your hand inside my heart

how can I make you understand

without your love I cannot start

to reach out to your kindly soul

with words both gentle and sincere

I'm trembling like a newborn foal

each time your voice enters my ear

but I can't hope that you can feel

the same that my heart cannot hide

your silence makes all hope unreal

and keeps between us this great divide
