In a perfect world
|
How I need you How I want you Could you love me Could you be all mine It's our perfect passion In this perfect world We could hold on If you let me in I could save you From the world you're in But you weren't meant to be mine You weren't meant to be free Your heart will never belong to me. |

Damnation
|
Who cries for me when I suffer, Who dries these tears on my face. Who stops the pain in my head, Who soothes the burn in my chest. I search for a shoulder to lean on. I long for soft hands to hold me. I hope for a drink that will quench. I cry for it cannot be found. These tears burn my face as they roll down. I fall through this darkness that hides me. A chill washes over in waves, 'Til all feeling is lost on the sea. Screams are the anguish of silence, None hear for lonely are damned. I grasp for a hand to hold on to; None there and I slide further down. |

Almost
|
Almost I could feel you, Almost we could touch, Almost I could hold you, Almost; not enough. We were almost lovers, In the stillness of that night. We could almost feel it, Almost, but not quite. I can almost see you, When my eyes close each night. We were almost beautiful, Almost, pure delight. Almost we were together, On a sultry summer night. Almost, we were one. Sometimes I wish I had. I can almost bring myself to believe, That somehow it was almost right. Sadly; almost but not quite. |

To The West
|
I TURN TO THE WESTWARD, PUT MY FACE INTO THE WIND. I TREK ONWARD TO INFINITY, FOLLOW DREAMS THAT HAVE NO END. MEMORY DOES HAUNT ME, SOMETIMES CHASES ME FURTHER ON. I TRAVEL LONESOME BY WAYS I SLEEP IN FORGOTTEN PLACES I SEARCH FOR SOLITUDE, I PRAY FOR SOLACE; STILL MY TORMENTED SOUL, BECKONS ME ONWARD. I'VE SEEN MANY A SUNSET, AND MANY A SUNRISE; SINCE THE DAY I TURNED INTO THE WIND. I'VE FELT THE COLD OF MOUNTAIN SNOW THE WARMTH OF A SUMMER BREEZE. IN ALL THIS BEAUTY I HAVE SEEN, NO COMFORT FOR MY SOUL. STILL THE MEMORY DRIVES ME ONWARD. I TURN MY HEART TO THE WEST. |

NIGHT AND DAY
|
I'LL SEE YOU IN THE DARKNESS. I'LL HOLD YOU IN MY DREAMS. I'LL CARESS YOU AS A BLIND MAN. I'LL LOVE YOU AS MY HEART BEATS. YOUR EYES ARE DEEP BLUE OCEANS, I SAIL TO ETERNITY. YOUR SCENT LIKE JASMINE; FLOATING ON THE BREEZE. YOUR BODY MOVES AS SONG; NOT YET WRITTEN. I AWAIT EACH VERSE WITH ANTICIPATION. I FEEL YOU NEXT TO ME, A WARMTH LIKE A SUMMER DAY. I FEEL YOUR BREATH UPON MY SKIN, LIKE LIGHTNING FROM THE SKY. I HEAR YOUR VOICE ASYOU COMFORT ME, LIKE BELLS RINGING IN THE DISTANCE. I PRAY EACH MORNING AS I WAKE, TO FIND YOU HERE BESIDE ME. STILL YOU FADE INTO THE DARKNESS; AND THIS DAY LIGHT HAUNTS MY SOUL. |

HEART SONG
|
THE SOUND OF YOUR TEARS IS A LONELY SOUND. THE SOUND OF THE RAIN FALLING TO THE GROUND THE BEAT OF YOUR HEART IS THE AIR THAT I BREATHE. WE PLAY THIS GAME WE DANCE THE DANCE WE NEVER FINISH THE SONG. I WANT YOU YOU QUENCH MY THIRST YOU MAKE ME WHOLE YOU CALM THE STORM YOU HOLD BACK THE TIDES TAKE ME CLOSE UPON YOUR BREAST HOLD ME UNTIL THE CEASE TO SHINE. LOVE ME THROUGH FOREVER. MY LUST FOR YOU CONSUMES MY SOUL IT FEEDS UPON YOUR EVERY MOVEMENT. I WANT TO DRINK YOU I WANT TO MELT INTO YOU THE SOUND OF YOUR LOVE IS BEAUTIFUL SONG. |
