Beloved

Your beauty is all I see 

I want to be with you forever

Beloved come home to me

My love is deeper then any sea

My heart to yours I'll tether

Your beauty is all I see 

Listen and hear my plea

Gentle like the touch of a feather

Beloved come home to me

To my heart you'll have the key

No matter what the weather

Your beauty is all I see 

Together we can make such harmony

All other connections sever

Beloved come home to me

Our love is meant to be

We make each other better

Your beauty is all I see 

Beloved come home to me

70's/80's Cento Mix

And when my mind is free
Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
(Won't you take me away?)
Where the rain is falling on stony ground
And I start wondering why I'm even around
Can't find the sunshine anywhere
Cause there ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Only darkness every day
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Just know you’re not alone
'Cause I’m going to make this place your home
Settle down, it'll all be clear
Don't pay no mind to the demons
They fill you with fear
The trouble it might drag you down
If you get lost, you can always be found
You can call on me brother, when you need a hand,
We all need somebody to lean on,
I just must have a problem that you'll understand,
We all need somebody (need somebody) to lean on
Call me (when you need a friend)
Call me (anytime) Just Call Me

For Good

When you're not here my world despairs
Although you're in my head
Time moves quickly
Then slows again
Without you everything spins
____________________________________

The times when you're here we move in sync
But away you're out of step
We fall together
Then fall apart
It's hard to begin again
____________________________________

This world is hard when we're alone
And harder day by day
You come home
Then leave again
One day you'll be home for good

Sin Eater

I miss the feel of your skin
My sin is yours to steal
Unreal how this became home
Atoning has never been easy
Dizzy I fall into your arms
You disarm my defenses so well
Quell this feeling inside me

My Past

My past

A dark corridor

Is where eternity lies

Wrought with sorrow

Pain and Sighs,

You bright up my life in

Like the sun in mid June

Like the sky fills the moon

An illusion of an oasis

You go and disappear

The sorrow in my ribs

Again begins to sear

I guess I’ll never know

The treasure I have found

Until it disappears,

Without trace or sound

The light up ahead

Will guide me home

Never again shall I forget

Where I‘ve come from

Entertainer’s Widow

Entertainer’s Widow

I have no reason to write

I need only to say

When you are out of my sight

I think of you every day

When you are with me the whole world seems in tune

When we are apart nothing seems to matter

I hope we are together soon

I couldn’t begin to feel sadder

I know your work is needed

The world must know of you

But while your work is feted

I sit at home feeling blue

But someday soon you’ll come home to me

Then all the world will see that you belong to me

Ghostlight

Ghostlight

When the curtains close

And the lights all dim

There’s only me

Standing there without him

The lights all fade

To the darkest of blacks

So deep that it burns

Inner demons attack

Swarming and seething

Eating mind and spirit

An all consuming power

No wonder I fear it

That empty stage

That lights on old ghosts

Brings light to the darkness

To what we fear most

So don’t leave me here

In the dark and alone

Give me thunderous cheers

I’ll truly be home

The Quest

Never ceasing

Always seeking

Never giving up

No matter what

Never standing still

No, not until

The quest

Is resolve

Should never get involved

With you whole heart

Time to start

Heading for home

Not far to roam

Lead astray

For a year and a day

Famished

Is there any polite way

To say goodbye?

To ask someone to leave

Not your heart but your head?

I’m quicksilver

Pretty to think about

But deadly poisonous

I wish my own reactions were as quick

I certainly recoil as fast

My compass will always

Point true north

Willing to lead me home

Sooner or later I must plant roots

We may share DNA with vegetables

And be fundamentally similar

But I see myself as more of a carnivore

And lately I feel

Simply famished

Sailor's Prayer

Needs must as needs outweigh

Carry the burden, seize the day

In darkest night or calmest bay

The ship is steady, it leads the way

Coming home in the misty spray

As morning breaks, the sailors pray

Home, at last, this time to stay
