Owl in the Dark

There's something missing
 Said the owl to the snake
 I have been flying
 For so long in the dark
 That I can't seem to find
 My way around in the day
 When I see the sun
 Gleaming on the water
 It don't make me feel a thing
 Well keep your hope alive
 Said his friend in reply
 When he was done
 There was a time
 When I hid so long underground
 That a chill set in me
 It sank right through
 Until the light came peeling
 Through the dirt
 With the life
 Of spring in bloom
 Above the ground
 When no one was around
 In the sun
 I was warmed right through
 I spent all of this time getting away
 From facing my life in the crux
 All of this time getting away
 So much of the time
 I was lost
 Swimming to dreams
 Towers in the sea
 Well worth a lot
 But not worth it whole
 And I've been in trouble
 Many times spread thin
 Half my life on the horizon
 So much to love
 All I could see was the end
 Only so many ways you can try
 To put a rush
 Into a river running dry
 Still, longer the drought
 More blind is the will
 When all of your doubt
 Of the past lies in pools
 Shaped of love
 Carved in stone
 What line did you fault?
