Light and Shadows

When I see the glass half empty
I am standing in the dark 
I’m afraid I’m running out of gas
and there’s nowhere I can park

The walls are closing in on me
but I feel too tired to scream
And everything’s a nightmare
masquerading as a dream

But the fickle glass looks full again
the minute you appear
The claustrophobic clouds are gone
and everything is clear

It’s a life of light and shadows
partly day and partly night
And I’m grateful when you’re standing here
beside me in the light
