She Calls My Name

I saw a thing of beauty

And her face was tired and pale

I think of her again

When the stars are rising

I met her somewhere between worlds

As she was slowly fading away

And soon she will be dead

Just a star shining

She calls my name

Sometimes I wish we'd never met

She calls my name

Too young to go, too young to fade

I had only minutes

To distract her from the pain

To fill the room with sound

And then go on my way

But as I left

I realized i'd never be the same

Cause I had seen the world

Reflected from her face

I see a thing of beauty

In almost everything around

But then I hit the ground and run for shelter

And she was a flash of goodness

In this broken world of mine

My visit there was short but lasted ages

She calls my name

Sometimes I wish we'd never met

She calls my name

Too young to go, too young to fade

I had only minutes

To distract her from the pain

To fill the room with sound

And then go on my way

But as I left

I realized i'd never be the same

Cause I had seen the world

Reflected from her face
