Lyrics
Title- The Cost
female vocal
my romantic portal
has closed
and has a signpost
reading not allowed
it's an old story
there are only
my memories now
i see them in bronze
like baby shoes
i see them on ribbons of gold
but numbering few
my string of stars
and that's as far as it goes
skin isn't keepsake
and eyes dim every day
the ribbons will fade
the metal will stay
the ache a patina
the dream went away
how i went off the earth
like an arrow
with keys nowhere near
heaven's door
i poured out
through a wide spout
but the gem catch
was lost
a carve out in secret
is about the smallest love of all
but the toll of a shut out
wasn't figured in the cost
