Whispers (From a forgotten memory)
TRACES OF YOU
It’s like looking for fiction
In a litter of facts
I’ll be running for cover
And never watch for the tracks
Like a kiss in the desert
Amid the blowing sand
I’ll be reaching to find you
But never touch your hand
Whatever I do
I look for traces of you
In the wide open spaces
In the blink of an eye
Whether searching for reason
Or the stars in the sky
In the glass of a window
In the face of a child
Dressed to dance in the moonlight
Running naked and wild
Whatever I do
I find traces of you
I find traces of you
I find traces of you
WHEN YOU ARE HERE
Baby,
Do you know how much I love you?
Baby,
Do you know how much I care ?
Baby,
Don’t you ever think of leavin’,
Cuz love is sweet, and so complete; ohhhhh, when you are here.
Baby,
Won’t you wrap your world around me?
Baby,
From the dark unto the light?
Baby,
let the warmth of love surround me,
Cuz when we kiss, such soulful bliss; ohhhhh, when you are here.
Some may say that, love is fleeting……
Some will tell you ( that ) it will pass.
But I have waited for a lifetime to have you here with me at last!
Baby,
Put your lovin’ arms around me.
Baby,
Pull me in and hold me tight.
Baby,
There can be no love without you.
Cuz life is sweet, and so complete; ohhhhh, when you are here.
World Won’t Let Me Go
Free me from this troubled longing,
That drives the hunger in my soul.
Take the light that shines all above me
Save me from the darkness down below. ( From the dark…)
All the houses now are empty.
All those lives have come and gone.
Ghost, they stop and share their stories
Of a time when they belonged. ( Of a time…)
The flowers won’t spare the grieving
The only thing I care to know
Please don’t tell me that you love me
When the world won’t let me go.
Buried down inside these canyons,
Stretching up along the hills.
All these memories long forgotten
Yearn that they might be remembered still. ( That they might…)
Children stare at me in wonder
They put their hands upon my clothes.
They won’t follow as I leave them
To a place they’ll never know. ( To a place…)
The flowers won’t spare the grieving
The only thing I care to know
Please don’t tell me that you love me
When the world won’t let me go.
When the world won’t let me go.
When the world won’t let me go.
TO THE LIFE
Come take my hand, let us walk down this street of our dreams
Remember the lights, the mirrors; the hearts, pulled tight at the seams
Tell me the words; I long, to hear from your voice
Whisper to me
Of the life we had thought we had planned
Come let your lips brush softly to the lines in my skin
Help me remember; the love, I thought might have been
Speak the words; I long, to hear in your voice
Whisper to me
Of the life we had thought we had planned
Oh, through the day
As the light grows and fades
Oh, to the night
When our hearts tend to stray
Come let us dance, close, cheek to cheek
Let us rise and fall to each other’s restless beat
Kiss me as I long to believe what I feel
Whisper to me
Of the life we had thought we had planned
To the life we had thought we had planned
To the life we had planned
To the life
THE EYES THAT I SEE
Oh, take me away to a place long ago
Where I still see her face and my memories flow
To the girl that I loved and the wonders that be
In the face of my dreams and the eyes that I see
On a day long since passed she promised her hand
To the man that I was and the life we had planned
In the shimmering glow of that emerald light
She was to this young man a beautiful sight
We found that the road would twist and would knot
It pulled us apart as we loved and we fought
So we shuttered the doors to the heart that we shared
To the love that was promised and left to despair
What of the choices we make
And what of the roads that we take…when we leave
No cold river flows past the ice in my heart
For a fool never sees his sorrows depart
At the end of this life, and the end of the light
I still see those eyes, filled with delight
Now you lay cold to the world and my hand
As I watch as they lower you deep in the sand
It’ll pull me down too as the light turns to gray
There’s no need for tears and no need to pray
What of the roads that we take
And what of the mistakes we make…when we leave
LET HER DANCE
As we stand in line (waiting for someone to move)
As we fade in time (the store music takes on the groove)
So let her dance to the beat with her arms as they sway with her feet
As they move to the sounds that are hers (alone)
As we head back home
Just another day (the kids and the man and the life)
Back and forth each way (The songs will they will block out the strife)
So let her dance to the beat with her arms as they sway with her feet
As they move to the sounds that are hers (alone)
As we head back home
You promised we’d always be true
To the kisses when our love was new
But time runs away with our lives
So there’s only tonight
On the way we go (he wonders what he ought to say)
Just another blow (look out the window and pray)
So let her dance to the beat with her arms as they sway with her feet
As they move to the sounds that are hers (alone)
As we head back home
THE DAY
Let it rain
Let my soul wash away
And then like a
Stream, we will flow
To the end of the day
Light warm me
Let the world make me whole
And then like a
Bird I will sing
To the start of the day
Spin
Like the Earth
Like a dance
Round and round
Love
Like a child
In your arms
To whom you’re bound
Revolve
Like the Earth
Like the stars
High above
And know
To the end
To be loved
Is to love
Let it rain Light warm me
Let my soul wash away Let the world make me whole
And then like a
Stream, we will flow Bird I will sing
To the end of the To the start of the day
