WATCH THE SUN RISE--
I like to wake up early sometimes
And sit at my window
I imagine you beside me
You hold me as I look
Into your eyes
To watch the sun rise
TIME--
Mornings come as quiet as
The rays that flood over the hills.
Soft clouds touch pink skies,
And small sounds like singing
Flood the air as birds wake.
And we sit there waiting,
Not knowing how we fit into
The beauty of creation,
Because time has corroded
The beautiful layers to leave
Death naked and exposed.
DREAMS: PAINFUL INTERPRETATIONS--
Dreams are curious
For they remind us of the past
They reinterpret happening into irrational thought
And produce the possiblilty
That not all falls into the hands of logic
And so it is strange to dream of you
And recall the pain I felt
But my dreams are the only place where my pain can be expressed
In a way that is clear
Oh
If only I could film those dreams and have you sit and watch
I think you would have nightmares
Too
FAR OFF LOVE--
Sometimes we go through life with blinders
When good things come along we don't know it
All we see is the darkness and the shadow
But a ray of light remains deep in my heart
I feel you out there somewhere waiting
I know you from my dreams and my inspirations
I will never let you go
MAKING LOVE--
He takes my hand ever so gently in his
And pulls me close for a long, soft kiss
He looks in my eyes then draws me near
And begins to whisper in my ear
"I loved you before I knew your face
God had you hidden in some distant place
I had no doubts from the moment we met
You'd be the woman I'd never forget
You lifted me up on golden wings
Showed me a world of new and wond'rous things
You gave me the hope that had left long ago
And taught me that life still has places to go
I've ached to hold you since that first day
And now that you're with me I beg you to stay
I give you my soul as my partner and friend
And pray that you'll stay with me to the end"
SLEEPING POTION--
Rainy days bring cloudy nights
The wind beats my window
Bringing dark secrets of black spaces
I can't sleep
Lying alone in an empty room
I close my eyes
I can feel you in the darkness
I can taste you in the air
I can smell you on my skin
Your hands caress me in the roaring storm
And my heart stops
And I die
