windows

Another crush he withstands from her
giving every gift until he is spent
she wont defend his heart heaven has sent
innocence evades every fault he could repent

every memory of every window he sees her she knows
sadness seen like a warm rain seen through the view
stripped and real like sadness that the winds blow
a lonely breeze on his face in a word she throws

In a morning sune here's his hope once again
sacrificing again for her more than money lends
like falling sand to hold her hand heaven sends
like a frozen clouds a heavy heart tries to mend

playing like silent songs to ease her madness
setting in the sunset glamorized to see sunrise
lost like a memory by a window in a room to rest
soft like songs in poems or whispers she says

In her siren songs are truths I can't erase
every planet that is aligned fragile in her face
like the ocean breathes they send me to my knees
is there anything I could ever give her to be free

Lying next to her lies the emptiness that she creates
she takes a drink that accentuates everything she hates
in a silent hallway in a small way she seizes the fates
The fraudulent stars are out of line still by her he waits

theres the memory of the window

waters edge

Walk with me to the waters edge
where there are things left unsaid
words they turn me inside out
listen to the waves with me

Let me share with you
the years that I have spent
the wounds that I have bled
listen to the waves with me

How many times do I have to try
I know I try to much to tell you
everything not yet begun
listen to the waves with me

Let me hear words fall from your mouth
tell me how I am blind and how
I won't believe your boat is sinking
Please listen to the waves with me

Let me share books I never read
the dreams I have dreamt instead
all my fears and what I dread
listen to the waves with me

Let me speak of time well spent
tell me why it is like this
all these words never said
listen to the waves with me

hear my joys seldom said
I dont think you know how I feel
oceans to cast away all doubts
listen to the waves with me

Stay with me at the waters edge
are feelings left better unsaid
then why am I turned inside out
listen to the waves with me

miles

Can I walk with you a mile
wipe the tears from your eyes
stop the wars that leave you lonely
fallen like a child

to hold you burns
burns
something in me yearns
hurts

Standing by you another mile
through the circles thru turns
I used to be a little boy
a little boy my love

Standing silent near truth
paying the price of your wall
the clock ticks timing my wounds
If I stumble who catches my fall

to hold you burns
burns
something in me yearns
hurts

All the drums beat out of time
every string holding you unwinds
when you are lost in the lines
in darkest days I will find you

If very ocean seems to crash upon you
I will swim through the endless tempest
My strength is you and passions past
When my breath is thin I will not rest

to hold you burns
burns
something in me yearns
hurts

I used to be a little boy
or so I've been told how
you wouldn't harm me then
why would you harm me now

ocean in winter

Like an angel
in the dead of winter
where once an ocean
I stand there dry

Clouds separate me
its light she's giving
gravitating to the high
looking in her eyes

Can she carry me
through the doors
from all I've suffered
a brand new life

like water she carries me
through all I've suffered
when I have her all
nothing is missing
like a wave crashing
filling my soul

Like a bridge
she fills my distance
distance there to here
an angel for my sinner

Then she pours herself
a salve in my burning
when I've faded for her
Like a desert in winter

like water she carries me
through all I've suffered
when I have her all
nothing is missing
like a wave crashing
filling my soul

the two

When I think back now
everything was there in two
All the storms were calm
when I was near you

even now I hear a song
suddenly I lose all my breath
I see the roads I've taken
In the dark I see my regrets

With you two I was strong
I dream does heaven hear me now
now that all my strength is gone
the last hope is all thats left

It never ends will I make it
I'm haunted and I feel gone
will I see my daughter
will I see my son

I'm lost without their cause
after all that i've been through
is there any way to be strong
your'e never far from me my two

Every day to lift my head what I do
I wonder where you two are
do you remember all the times
your daddy sang to you your song

If I had to do it all again
I would still battle for you
give it everything I am and ever was
give my life give everything for two
