Torch Song Steve Roberts

I saw you once again last night
You came up to visit me I wish I knew why
And I couldn’t find the right words to say
Those words that would make you want to stay

So many times I’ve dreamed of you
There must be something we left unsaid
There must be something I still have to do
That will let me let go of you

I live with you and without you
You’re within me and without
Knowing that we’ll never meet again
Though you’re no further than any other friend

We wrestled with love but didn’t win
Till it threw us both out of the ring
And so we went our separate ways
But something in me just would not give in

That’s why I see you on this screen inside
So many times when I close my eyes
And when I feel that love is close to me
That’s when you take me by surprise

I live with you and without you …

I can’t forget the cold air on your cheeks
That winter morning you stepped in off the street
The cold I kissed that settled on your skin
Couldn’t touch the warmth deep within you

And once I even saw you on the Rambla
As if my dreams had been keeping you in store
Twenty-two years old and no more
With that same expression you always wore

I live with you and without you …

It’s just this sadness dogging me down
This muddy water tempting me to drown
This burned out torch I carry round
Years ago I should have flung it to the ground

And now poetry won’t come near me
And music doesn’t want to hear me
Cause in my dreams you still refuse
To be my lifelong everlasting muse

I live with you and without you …
