Jupiter's Faerie

For some reason today I thought of you Thought I'd look you up and see what you'd been up to How long's it been, ten years or maybe more Since I told you not to call me, shut you out and closed the door I'm sorry, I know it hurt but I'd moved on The memories remained but the sentiment was gone We belonged to the darkness and the moon But I found a light so bright thought I might live in its sun Then today while walking lost, I saw a sign That without effort brought your name to mind So I decided to reach out after so long Decided how we left it was all wrong It's okay to move on but we don't have to close the door And after all, what are real friends for? So I went home thinking I would try to call you Searched your name and then I saw the news That there was no more you I hear there's faeries out on Jupiter And there was a time when I knew one But today I'm feeling way down here on Earth Crying tears of love in the light of mourning dawn I used to write so many songs about you Long after you went home that day I laid alone so many nights without you Spent years just hoping that were okay I cried an ocean of tears, hoping it'd wash the pain away But then today I read the news that you were gone That you'd left a year ago, chose to check out and move on I guess the pain became the only thing Each and every day would bring I'm sorry I wasn't there, I wish I'd known I would've tried to give you love it'd been so long since I'd shown But then had I, maybe you'd be here today Suffering and crushing from sadness and its weight But in my heart, I guess I always knew Somehow one of us would end this way What's done now is done, now there's nothing left to say I hear there's faeries out on Jupiter And there was a time when I knew one But today I'm feeling way down here on Earth Crying tears of love in the light of mourning dawn One more glass of wine for a love so true Then another and another, for today one just won't do There's no happy endings Only stories that stop before they're through I hear there's faeries out on Jupiter And there was a time that I knew one But today I'm feeling way down here on Earth Crying tears of love in the light of mourning dawn
