Ode: In Advance of Loss

If you wanted to I would be with you
If you wanted to I would be with you
Tonight
I want to walk and talk with you
I want to walk and talk with you
Tonight
Coincidence can not be
The reason we are locked into each other’s eyes
Tonight
Foresight through the looking glass
Grants access to the past
Romance lost in advance
Still we sway a distant dance
I’m thinking of you and I wonder maybe
You could think of me too from your own world
Tonight
There’s a meeting ground that we both know
Up above the clouds where we could go
Tonight
Drifting up into the stars
Hand in hand we float beyond the earth and
Mars
Foresight through the looking glass
Grants access to the past
Romance lost in advance
Still we sway a distant dance
Foresight through the looking glass
Grants access to the past
And in the darkness of my solitude I see
The glory and the freshness of a dream

New Eyes

In the corner of a room
I can get inside a space
And grow smaller than I was
So when you come and shine your light
You can’t see me glow
I lived inside a place
Gone but not forgotten
Exchanged it for a new case
The old one was wrong and rotten
You don’t see me glow
I carried on as before
Taking things in and out
Convictions change as experience grows
Testing me as the story goes
I use what works and I leave what doesn’t
I’m getting ready for the show
In preparations for when I meet you
The stage is lit, the stars aglow
All aglow
My memories are blurred
But that’s not to say
That I don’t live in my imagination
Everyday
A life lived by design
Endlessly looking for what I’ll find
Endlessly, endlessly looking
Living out of time
It’s a poor sort of memory that only works backwards

Too Deep For Tears
06:59

Enter, enter
Stay, don’t go away
Let us be ourselves, you can
Drive our getaway car, drive us away
Green and grey narcotic spray
Our troubled thoughts all wash away
In Asturias
Under the rain
Some thoughts lie too deep for tears
Some thoughts cry out from beyond the years
I used to think the cosmos got it wrong
But now I know that we all sing our own song
The reservoir is both full and empty
Just like love its a two-way dream
It’s dry as a bone from the years spent alone
But somehow and at the same time its fuller than I’ve ever known
For the years spent alone
It’s no one’s fault but my own and
I see chances for
Changes each day
But its so hard to break the mold and
To go out into the world and
Find the love
That I crave each day
Some thoughts lie too deep for tears
Some thoughts cry out from beyond the years
I used to think the cosmos got it wrong
But now I know that we all sing our own song
In a chorus, resounding and strong
Let’s hear the choir of one that we’ve been all along

Never Caught In Amber

|
For once my shadow’s shape
Is in alignment
For once my reflection doesn’t
Look back in fright
I let go of what I was holding on to
I can’t believe
How it’s all come together
I’m in awe of what I see
Looking back
I let go of what I was holding on to
I had to let you go
I had to move on
I had no choice

Your Poignant Smile
05:58
|
|||
|
You’re in my mind
You’re in my heart
You never leave me
When we’re apart
You say you’re my midwife
But that’s just the start
I owe you everything
My tender heart
My planet earth
Strange and oblivious
Beyond surreal proportions
Pushed and pulled
Tested and tried
Flung away but still in orbit
Bad ideas just won’t die
Carbon dioxide up in the sky
One way to die
Our planet earth
