Take Me Back To The Illusion

Take me back to the illusion
don't let my gentle eyes see
the truth of this subtle intrusion
and the fact that things aren't how I thought they'd be.

I used to think that you'd take me away
and we'd never have to be without the other
you keep saying "someday, baby, someday"
but I don't know if we'll ever go any further.

I know the love is there
and I'll be damned if I ever let that go
but, you see, sometimes the pain gets hard to bear
the time... it just moves so slow.

Three more years, honey, and I'm yours
you'll be here by then
of that I'm sure
but still the constant question; "when?"

It's not your fault
not at all.
If anything I'm the one that causes us halt
were my age different it might cause certain changes to install.

You will come one day.
I know that, I'm hopeful.
But the wait causes my hopes to stray
and it seems to take a permanent toll.

"Someday" baby, I'm sure it'll come soon
I'll see you in half a years time
if I'm lucky, although I'm usually immune
and then, maybe, after another year or two
I'll finally be able to be with you.
Forever, and ever... just... not now.

Why must time pass by so slow?
