SEPTEMBER 2020

 

 

THERE'S A PLACE WHERE

 

WE CAN SEE

 

THINGS JUST AS THEY 

 

WERE MEANT TO BE

 

THERE'S A PLACE WHERE

 

GENTLE BREEZES BLOW

 

THERE'S A PLACE WHERE

 

LOVE FLOWS, LIKE THE STREAM

 

BENEATH A CANOPY OF GREEN

 

SWEET WATER

 

LIKE SUMMER RAIN

 

LYING BACK INSIDE

 

THE RAYS OF SUN

 

ISN'T IT GOOD TO BE BACK AGAIN

 

 

DO YOU FEEL

 

WHAT I'M FEELING

 

MY HEART RISING

 

LIKE ITS LEAVING

 

FLYING TO THE STARS

 

THAT MAKE UP THE SKY

 

DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH

 

BETTER I CAN DESCRIBE

 

THIS FEELING INSIDE OF ME

 

I KNOW A PLACE

 

ITS YOU

 

LOVE FLOWS LIKE THE STREAM PASSING

 

THROUGH THE TREES 

MOON LIGHTS SHINING DOWN

MAGICS IN THE AIR

I COULD SWEAR

THAT YOU KNOW

BEFORE I SAY, BEFORE I DO

NO SECRETS SAFE FROM YOU

I COULD TRY

BUT WHATS THE POINT

WHEN THERE'S NOTHING TO HIDE

FROM YOU

YOU CAN SEE THE LIGHT

INSIDE MY HEART,  MY HEAD, MY DREAMS

AND EVERYWHERE IN BETWEEN

A HARD PLACE AND ME

NEVER FARAWAY

CLOSER TO MY HEART

ALWAYS THERE

RIGHT FROM THE START

I KNOW A PLACE ITS YOU

THERE'S  A LOT OF LOVE

I NEED TO BE

ITS SOMEWHERE

RIGHT HERE INSIDE OF ME

MOONLIGHT SHINING DOWN

 

ALL AROUND US

 

I'M SO GLAD I SAW THE WAY

 

TO YOUR HEART

 

HURRIED EVERY STEP

 

NOT TO MISS THE CHANCE

 

TO TAKE YOUR HAND

 

LEND YOUR LOVE TO GUIDE ME

 

FROM SOME DARK CORNER

 

INTO YOUR LIGHT

 

 

YOUR SAVING GRACE FINDS ME

 

I NEED NO OTHER SIGN

 

I DON'T NEED CONVINCING

 

I'M ALREADY COMMITTED TO THIS

 

SPINNING EVER FASTER

 

TRYING TO KEEP MY FEET

 

MAKE SOME TIME AND STILL

 

GET SOME SLEEP 

 

CAUGHT BETWEEN THE TWILIGHT

 

 AND THE DAWN 

 

THE SKIES REVEAL THE STARS

 

AND WONDERS HOLD ME FAST

 

I TRY TO PASS 

 

I CLOSE MY EYES

 

MYSTERIES DEMAND ME

 

TRY TO COMMAND MY ATTENTION

 

MAKE ME FORGET WHY I CAME

 

THERE'S NO ELSE TO BLAME BUT ME

 

 

SHE LIES SLEEPING

 

THAT'S WHERE I'M GOING TO

 

IF I MAY JOIN HER

 

BEFORE THE NIGHT IS THROUGH

 

WITH ONE HAND

 

I FEEL YOU THERE

 

SO UNAWARE

 

WHY DO I STILL INSIST

 

I SHOULD BE DREAMING 

 

JUST LIKE YOU

 

IT GOES THAT I'VE TRIED TO

 

 

I TRY TO KEEP MY FEET

 

AS IT SPINS EVER FASTER

 

I KNOW I'LL MAKE IT THROUGH

 

SOMEWHERE TWEEN TWILIGHT AND DAWN 

 

I'LL CARRY ON

 

UNTIL I FIND A WAY

 

TO KEEP ME

 

SQUARELY IN YOUR SIGHTS

SEPTEMBER 2020

 

 

YOU SEE THE SKIES

 

CHANGE FROM BLUE TO GRAY

 

SEE THE SEASON SLIPPING AWAY

 

INDIAN SUMMER CAN'T HOLD ON

 

THE WIND BLOWS TOO STRONG

 

I'M SURE IT WON'T BE LONG

 

BEFORE WE FIND OURSELVES IN SNOW

 

SHOULD OF LET GO

 

SHOULD BE GONE

 

THIS IS GETTING OLD

 

THE TIMES I'VE BEEN TOLD

 

YOU'D THINK I'D BE SOLD

 

BUT NO HERE WE GO AGAIN

 

 

STILL NOT FREE ENOUGH TO FLY

 

CAUGHT IN A RIP TIDE

 

AND I DON'T KNOW QUITE WHY

 

YOU COULD SAY

 

BUT YOU DON'T KNOW FOR SURE

 

YOU'VE NEVER BEEN

 

BUT I'VE BEEN THERE AND BACK AGAIN

 

MORE ENOUGH TO KNOW

 

YOU SIT THERE AND WATCH

 

SHOW AFTER SHOW

 

AND BEFORE YOU KNOW

 

YOU LOSE SIGHT OF WHAT'S REAL

 

ARE THE THINGS YOU FEEL

 

REALLY FROM YOUR HEART

 

OR SOMEWHERE DISTANT

 

THAT YOU THINK SETS YOU APART

 

WE'RE ALL DIFFERENT

 

BUT WE'RE THE SAME

 

STUCK INSIDE THIS SAME OLD GAME

 

BUT ANOTHER GRAIN OF SAND FALLING

 

 

THERE'S ONLY THIS TIME

 

AND IF YOU WANT TO COMPROMISE 

 

LEAN ON THE SIDE OF GOOD

 

ITS ALL THAT YOU CAN DO

 

ALL THAT YOU SHOULD

 

YOU CAN ONLY SHOULDER 

 

SO MUCH RESPONSIBILITY

 

BEFORE YOU START TO FALTER

 

YOU JUST WANT TO LEAVE

 

YOU CAN'T BREATHE

 

CAUGHT IN A RIP TIDE

 

AND I DON'T KNOW QUITE WHY

 

YOU COULD SAY

 

BUT YOU DON'T KNOW

 

CAUGHT IN A RIP TIDE
