You are like a child
With your folded arm denials
And a convalescent look
And your pleading hands out front

You are like a con
Locked away for doing no wrong
Oh, the system is your foe
But your alibi's see through

You are like the moon
In the fading afternoon
Like a distant memory
You don't mean a thing to me

What ever happened to you, baby?
You once were the light that helped to show me
When I was right and when I was wrong
And now all you are is a line in a song to me

You are like the wind
Howling through deserted glens
Your power is intense
But your audience has left

You are like the stars
So near and yet so far
Like an ancient mystery
You're unsolvable to me

What ever happened to you, baby?
You once were the guide that helped to save me
From when I was right and when I was wrong
And now all you are is a line in a song to me

You are like a dream
Reoccurring to me
When I wake, I can't recall
What you were saying at all
