Edward Young

Edward Young (c. 3 July 1683 – 5 April 1765) was an English poet, best remembered for Night-Thoughts, a series of philosophical writings in blank verse, reflecting his state of mind following several bereavements. It was one of the most popular poems of the century, influencing Goethe and Edmund Burke, among many others, with its notable illustrations by William Blake. Young also took holy orders, and wrote many fawning letters in search of preferment, attracting accusations of insincerity. more »

The ground is harder than we'd thought
The stars are further than we'd believed
I can't only be what you've taught
I just want to love without being deceived
So, can't we start from the beginning?
When you saved a loser from a bar
Now expectation looms over everything
I'm reaching out to you, is it a stretch too far?
So, I'll roam
Be alone
Alone under cloudy skies
How can we revisit a place we never knew?
Everything I've ever done, I did it for you
Are we still waiting on something true?
Or is it overdue?
It's not a love that you can find cheap
The knife of gullibility is the one that cuts deep
The heart wants what the heart needs
I'll be waiting 'til the day the stone bleeds
So, I'll roam
Be alone
Alone under cloudy skies
So, when you're stuck in the same day
And the stars get further away
You have to find a way through
So you can see
How I'm right for you
How you're good for me
Until that day comes, goodbye my friend
Goodbye
Sometimes I lay awake thinking of you
Thinking of what I'd say if I woke up with you
Yet the sunlight that greets my eyes
Tells me I'll be roaming under cloudy skies
Now I wish I'd never seen your smile
That I broke to cause the tears you cried
How could I ever be so vile
To the face that now makes me ache inside?
I'm tired of losing
But there's nothing left to say
If there's a place for us beyond the horizon
That's where I'll see you again some day
So, I'll roam
Be alone
I'll roam
I'll roam under cloudy skies
