Shimmer

She calls me on the phone Just when I was low, feeling short of stable All that she intends And all she keeps inside isn't on the label She says she's ashamed, and can she take me for a while? Can I be a friend? We'll forget the past, but maybe I'm not able And I break at the bend We're here and now Will we ever be again? 'Cause I have found All that shimmers in this world is sure to fade away again She dreams a champagne dream Strawberry surprise, pink linen on white paper Lavender and cream Fields of butterflies, reality escapes her She says that love is for fools that fall behind And I'm somewhere in between Never really know a killer from a savior 'Til I break at the bend We're here and now Will we ever be again? 'Cause I have found All that shimmers in this world is sure to fade away again It's too far away for me to hold Too far away It's too far away for me to hold Too far away, oh Yeah, it's too far away for me to hold Too far away, oh It's too far away for me to hold Too far away It's too far away for me to hold Too far away, oh It's too far away for me to hold Too far away Guess I'll let it go
