Song for Ellie

I raise my hopeful voice
while I sit beside no one
I try to keep you near
so at night my body flies
I pray for a new day to come
there will be no more oceans
I have made my choice
It’s you I want to hear
I dream my dreams alone
How can I keep you smiling
Yellow sunshine made of gold
In one glorious dawn
the distance disappears
no glasses, only a mirror
to reflect you shining
