LYRICS
Like I told you before
Can’t take it! No More!
Now, close the door
Sure, love will endure
We’ll give it some more

Looking in your eyes
I see to eternity
Inevitability
Comes as no surprise?
When I look into your eyes
I realize
Us from I’s

LYRICS
Weighing heavy on the bow, now
When the bow bends
When the bow breaks
It’s more than my baby can take
Wailing in the wind, wow
When the wind blows
My brow will break
Watching my baby fall for me
Changing destiny
Cry, baby, cry
Cry
Turn to the East
Turn to the West
As you fall from your nest
Turn to the one you love best!

LYRICS
I gotta get back
Out of the dark
I gotta get back
Needing a spark
Come on, baby, show me the light
Get me through the dark of night

It’s been so long
Since we’ve had sight
It’s been so long
In this light blight

I’ve got the urge
For a surge
I’ve got the urge
For darkness purge

LYRICS
The wind is blowin’ right in
It’d be a sin
For my warmth to be wastin’
Snuggle over cheek-to-cheek
We could have conversation
About going to strong from weak
With our energy conservation
No power for hours
With the power that’s ours
There’s heat to devour
We might write by candlelight
A song of love… my hand as your glove
The power outage
Set the stage
For romance
Our chance
To engage

LYRICS
Could this long, long lonely winter
Be through passing through
Feels like sunlight’s splinter
Yes, Her day has come due

Draw me near to the time of year
When a creature’s comfort is you
Draw me near to the time of year
When I’m your creature’s comfort, too

Could this long and lonely dry-spell
Be through passing through
Gifts of the sky once fell
Her day’s due a re-do
(Chorus)

Could this long, long lonely season
Be through passing through
Searching for rhyme and reason
In everything you do
(Chorus)

Seek my baby
Weep… sigh… save me
Won’t be right
’til we unite
Tonight

Find true love

Won’t be right

Singularity of you and me
Won’t be right

If there’s a mountain
That’s interruptin’
I guess she’ll have to move
There can be no mountain
That’s interruptin’
Must confess my love
To you
Movin’ mountain

’til that mountain’s
More mole hole
Movin’ mountain
I will move earth and sky
’til the angels cry
Making mountains
Into mole hills
And for thrills
Sparkling fountains

LYRICS
When I think of you
On a cold winter’s night
All I want to do
Is hold you tight

Do you feel we’re overdue
For a lovely rendezvous
A close encounter

Can he hold her?

Do you feel overdue
To be in touch for a few
A close encounter

Please embrace her!

When I dream of you
In the broad daylight
All I want to do
Is hold you tight

LYRICS
What are we lacking
Food, shelter, clothing?
Knowing nothing
Knowing nothing at all
Still we ball
Boo hoo hoo… do you ball, too?
Knowing nothing
Knowing nothing at all
Still I cry… why?

What are we missing
Loving, hugging and kissing
Giving something?
Hugging and kissing
Giving your all
Heed the call (Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Giving your all
I will try (Hi, hi, hi)

LYRICS
When the Autumn comes
I fall all over you
There’s not much I can do
It’s the season to fall for you

Become aware there’s something in the air
Make a memory to share
You know we’ve got to let the summer go
Before you know — snow
(Yeah, here/hear we go)

Open up the window
I want to take in some more
One thing’s for sure
Open up the door lore
I want to take in some more
You know let’s go go-go
Out the door and take in some more

Fall All Over You.mp3

A celebration of Autumn.

bookmark_borderThis Is Love (Words From a Wedding)

LYRICS
The way they look into each others eyes
It comes as no surprise
Another sure sign is the way they pine
When fate separates

This is love!
This is love!
Who doesn’t know,
This is love!

One understands when they’re holding hands
It’s plain for all to see
Two hearts as one under the sun
“I do” for eternity

This is love!
This is love!
Who doesn’t know,
This is love!

She loves his style of courtesy
When it comes to “loving me”
He loves her style — generosity
Spreading smiles… living free

This is love!
This is love!
Who doesn’t know,
This is love!

LYRICS
Have you ever been warned
About the calm before the storm
Before all hell breaks loose
And you’re left swinging…
Under a noose
I’m getting into knowing
The winds of change are blowing
Giving heart attacks
To any heart that lacks

Give your heart an attack of love
Letting in light from above
Feel your heart start
Let the hate depart

Black is black
White is white
I’d say you’re out of the grey
Not so fine… crossing the line

LYRICS
Is your favorite color purple?
Then it’s really quite simple
Led my heart of red
To mix with the blues for you

Is your favorite color green?
I know just what you mean
Hello! I’m the fellow with yellow
To mix with the blues for you

Is your favorite color blue?
There’s really not much to do
The color is already true
It’s straight up blues for you

Chorus
Primarily primary scene
Primarily primary seen
Yellow, red, blue
Spirit, mind, body
See…
What’s made of you
