I Won't Return

By Bruce Clifford 

Dream if you can dream

Take yourself back to that moment in your mind

Breathe if you can breathe the air

Are you being honest or taking someone for a ride

I can’t know what gets you down

I don’t want to know when you’re around

You can’t feel without a sound

I can’t know when you’re in town

Dreams take you to other dreams

Nights bring out empty thoughts and extremes

Panic sets in and you say goodbye

Daylight returns to a new sunrise

I don’t know what touches your heart

I can’t get too close or it will tear me apart

Time wraps around time then settles in

I can’t know what you meant

Dream if you can dream

Bring yourself to that point of no return

Breathe if you can breathe the air

I won’t be burned again I won’t return
