For Amelie

For Amelie
Why don’t you feel me
Why can’t I hold your hand
(You) never said that you’d leave me
and I know you are somewhere

I held you up
Every time you were down
Your crying stopped
When I was around…but…

Why don’t you love me?
Enough to stay with me
Now tell me truly
Was it there in your heart too?
All that I’m left with
Is a dream of me and you

I held you up
Every time you were down
Your crying stopped
When I was around…but…

You filled my soul
With your beauty and with hope
We’re different although
We were just like water in sand

Why dont you feel me
Why cant I hold your hand
You never said that you’d leave me
And I know you are somewhere

I held you up
Every time you were down
Your crying stopped
When I was around…but…

I held you close
When you fell to the ground
And now you’ve torn all my hope apart
You could have said good-bye
