Sad I Cry

Are these the roses of which you speak
 Where you stop everyday to scheme
 Of what color you will paint tomorrow
 On the canvas hung today
 For I am a dreamer
 Who fears never living his dream
 And what I wouldn't give
 For just one embrace
 I picture it now
 And melt away
 Sad I cry
 Is that the sunset that moved you to tears
 The colors they strike you so deep
 It has risen on me every day of my life
 But could never set without you
 You are on a ship that is sailing
 As I yell from the dock, "Come back"
 For without the nerve
 To chance the storm
 We can never sail into the sun
 Sad I cry
 I am sad for my love, for the painting
 I can hang but never create
 How the most vivid red orange sunset
 Can only be color to me
 I cry for my arms surround nothing
 We only hold what we are
 The dreamer will dream
 The ship it will sail
 Without him into
 The sunset again
