Six Trillion Years And Overnight Story

Once upon a time and place unknown
Lived a boy forgot and left all alone
No one knew what he could do
Or of this fairy tale

Prob'ly since before the day I was born
Call it fate
But I was drowned with scorn
No one tried to be on my side
So I turned the other cheek

I can't help my feeling sad
Though I guess it ain't too bad
Calling from the setting sun
Took my hand and flew away!

Tell me why, tell me why, no one ever tells me why
Why they hate me and despise me when I haven't done a thing
In the rain all I feel is this never-ending chill
But a trillion, trillion, trillion years have left me freezing cold

Can I die, can I die?
I'm just waiting 'till I die
Never dreamed a single dream so kind in my entire life
No one knew, even cared for this fleeting fairy tale
'Till it slipped into the seething sun and soon it sailed away!

All this time it bore right down to the core
All the pain had torn and left me sore
Right behind you had all this time
Been watching from the side

Can not look, or hear, or speak to me
But you did
"Your name, will you tell me it please?"
I can't give, and I wish I did
But I just don't have the tongue

Crave a home I've never had
Though I guess it ain't too bad
"Let's just leave and go back home,"
Take my hand and fly away!

Tell me why, tell me why
No one ever tells me why
Why they think you're just a kid when you can do so many things
On my own, never known of this light leading me home
'Cause a trillion, trillion, trillion years had taught me I'm alone

Can I try, can I try?
Never know until I try
But they'll kill you if they see you trying now to save my life
In the rain all we feel is this never-ending chill
But we'll slip into the seething sun and soon we'll sail away!

Day is done now and soon the dawn will break
Play until we drop so that we'll never have to wake
What if this place was made of only me and you?
If just the world and everyone would all go away
If just the world and everyone would all go away!

Tell me why, tell me why
A small voice will tell me why
No it's not the voice of you or I but all mankind!
Can't resist
Won't be missed
That's the life that I insist
That we'll slip into the seething sun and soon we'll sail away!

Tell me why, tell me why
No one ever tells me why
What's your name and where're we going
But hell that's the fun of life!
In the rain, I don't care, just as long as you are there
'Cause a trillion, trillion, trillion years has left me thinking clear!

Tell me why, tell me dear
There's a ringing in my ear
Then we slipped into the seething sun and finally sailed away!
