Always Another

There’s always another star To light up your eyes at twilight Its flickering, faltering glow Soon disappears from your sight There’s always another hand To hold you while you cry Its wandering, dubious fingers Will make your tears go dry The weight of these years Won’t leave you unbroken Your beauty has died Something else has awoken There’s always another path To lead you back to your life Its jagged and slippery stones Cut your heels like a knife There’s always another place Where all your dreams reside Though your feet are still free to wander Your hands are tightly tied
