I want it to be mine

Pitch black night outside, [6]
Nothingness in my sight.   [6]
Through a non-existent sky [7]
Descending little light.   [6]
I want it to be mine.      [6]

-- pripev --
I want it to be mine                [6]
So I can have it all just for myself.    [10]
I’ll wrap it in a rhyme,                [6]
Hide it from passing time                [6]
Behind the glass on top of a tall shelf. [10]
-------------

Sunshine’s breaking through the glass    [7]
Stretching room, annoying us,            [7]
Climbing walls into_ my _eyes.           [7]
That’s a moment from the past.           [7]
But, I want it to be mine.               [7]

Clouds of gray are hanging low.          [7]
Rain is making the world slow            [7]
Singing us its lullaby.                [7]
Sounds drown in rain flow.               [7]
And, I want them to be mine.             [7]

-- pripev --
I want it to be mine                [6]
So I can have it all just for myself.    [10]
I’ll wrap it in a rhyme,                [6]
Hide it from passing time                [6]
Behind the glass on top of a tall shelf. [10]
-------------

Life is flying by,       [5]
And time is just behind. [6]
I want it to be mine.    [6]

I want you to be mine             [6]
So I can have you all for myself. [9]
I’ll wrap you in a rhyme,         [6]
Hide you from passing time…       [6]
I want you to be mine.            [6]
