Jadis - Abandoned

sometimes when you look at me
i'm just this silhouette staring out to sea
and just like all the words i say
they're fading from my mind in slow decay

you think i'd have learned by now
to shelter from the cold accept myself somehow
while everything unfolds

i watch the evening light glow amber at life's window
returning birds take flight beneath colours of my rainbow

you think i'd have learned by now
to shelter from the cold accept myself somehow
while everything unfolds

the right decision a tried and trusted course
a perfect inner vision takes my heart with force
and even though i try to fight against the tide
and even if i lie there's nowhere left to hide

you think i'd have learned by now
to shelter from the cold accept myself somehow
yet underneath it the way we live can sometimes be divisive
waiting for the chance to understand
