I THOUGHT I SAW
[E. Maguire]
 

I thought of asking
A stranger on the train
I thought of darkness
And drowning in the rain
Cos I thought I saw

I thought of something
To take away the pain
I thought of calling
Of calling out your name
Cos I thought I saw

I thought of nothing
Or nothing I could name
I thought of dying
Decided to remain
But I thought I saw
