Lyrics

Seems my days spent dying,
low murmurs to a prayer.
Hours mourning hidden grief
and a touch that isn't there.

Nights I’d wonder aimless,
lonesome thoughts trackless sand.
Casual moments could be spoken
raise your memory from the land.

In dreams I find you staring at
crystal clear blue skies.
Sandy beaches, honeyed moon
Wonder filled your eyes.
Tears… dapple cross my face,
Awakened by sun’s rise.

The last time I felt your voice
a gathering of old friends.
Searched the crowd longed for your face
found talking heads that just pretend.

The hours of rehearsing
for that moment’s sweet soft words.
A trickle swells to rapids
nouns swept aside by anxious verbs.

In dreams I find you staring at
crystal clear blue skies.
Sandy beaches, honeyed moon
Wonder filled your eyes.
Tears… dapple cross my face,
Awakened by sun’s rise.

A drive by night my refuge
and weariness the long day.
Forgotten name of our street
but my heart still knows the way.

Our last kiss was a cipher
eternal promise of not yet soon.
A thousand pictures ten thousand words
many mansions, many rooms.
