Vanishing Path Lyrics

When I opened my mouth 

And no song could rise 

And the knot in my throat 

Could not be untied 

I began searching 

Desperate to find 

The piece of me out there 

The piece that had died 

I slept in the canyon 

A million stars blazing 

The crickets were singing 

Their heartbreak refrain 

In that sweet darkness 

I could finally hear 

The pain in my heart 

The sound of my fear

The life I knew 

Is a vanishing path 

Nowhere to move forward 

No way to turn back 

Ave Maria, Send me a dream

Between who I was 

And who I will be 

For so long I've known 

Who I wanted to be 

She is brilliant, beloved 

Much better than me 

There's no way to find her 

I know she is gone 

So I dance among the endings

As I write a new song 

The life I knew 

Is a vanishing path 

Nowhere to move forward 

No way to turn back 

Ave Maria  

Send me a new dream 

I know who I was 

But not who I will be
