Where Are You Now

by: Diana Fox

Just like a diamond from the sky
You were a star shinning bright for me
But now it's fading, fading
Carried my soul upon the wind
Soaring so high, oh you gave me wings
Now I'm left wandering

Where are you now
Cause I need to have you right here next to me
You're not around, feels like you took the air I breathe
I hear the sound, of my lonely heartbeat calling out to yours
You can't be found, oh where are you now.

Told me you'd never leave my side
But time passes by
Seemed so real to me
Was I just dreaming, dreaming

You poured your wine, I drank it up
Got drunk on your love
Now I thirst for you
But my cup is empty, empty

Where are you now
Cause I need to have you right here next to me
You’re not around, feels like you took the air I breathe
I hear the sound, of my lonely heartbeat calling out to yours
You can't be found, oh where are you now.

I thought we were in love
So meant to be together
That what we had was
Ever lasting, ending never
How could everything be gone
You're not with me tonight
When you should be here
Holding me tight
Holding me tight
Holding me, holding me, holding me tight

Where are you now
Cause I need to have you right here next to me
You're not around, feels like you took the air I breathe
I hear the sound, of my lonely heartbeat calling out to yours
You can't be found, oh where are you now.

I think that this song hold some similarity to Steele's "No. 1 Tuesday, April 12, 1709."  The lyrics constantly ask "Where are you now," which is similar to the man in the story searching for the lady he saw in the carriage.  The song expresses how the person is in love and is lonely because the person cannot be found.
