Bury My Love
Most nights the last thing that she said
When the lights went out and the tormented talk began
Be happy that we gave it a go
But you will never bury my love
The very heart that has me love you
Has been hit by a freak winter storm passing through
And covered with a carpet of snow
But you will never bury my love
Bury my love, bury my love
You needed to make fresher schemes
Its your life, your dream and all that it has to be
So odd to feel you let my heart go
But you will never bury my love
Bury my love, bury my love
The shadow of gloom always seems to be darkest before daybreak,
We could wish away all of the hurt
But love's not a mistake.
Need To Say
Brown gorgeous doe eyes staring into headlights
despondent I crawl away
A closing sad scene with no chance for a rewrite
Oh, you never say, say, say, say the things you know you need to say
Expensive trinkets, wrapped without your own aid
An effort lost in cliche'
So many lost chances, In the echoes, in the shade
Oh, you never say, say, say, say the things you know you need to say
Perfume of flowers with not a scent of spring
Some mourners bow as to pray
No last occasion to clear misunderstanding
Oh, you never say, say, say, say the things you know you need to say
Gasoline anger, pitting pride against grace
Hoping they'll crawl back someday
A hurt that festers no time or distance will erase
Oh, you never say, say, say, say the things you know you need to say
Exhausting each nighttime,
Wishing that you could rewind,
The moments preceding what you lost
A person's feelings, acutely in need of healing
was vanity worth that steep cost
Lust weakened moment, alcohol influenced
Protective shields melt away
With one last chance to make a life saving nuance
Oh, you never say, say, say, say the things you know you need to say
Brown gorgeous doe eyes staring into headlights
despondent I crawl away
A closing sad scene with no chance for a rewrite
Oh, you never say, say, say, say the things you know you need to say
Lips of Danger
what are you doing in my waking dream
I've tried so hard to change
My tending to be lured by skin that gleams
to covet soft and strange
lips of danger, sweetened with regret
Where every taste is a debt we can't forget
an inner voice tries fleshing out the threat
How could I have unknown
your skin has found its way too close to me
floating on your perfume
With every heartbeat tension savagely
portends my nearing doom
lips of danger, sweetened with regret
Where every taste is a debt we can't forget
An inner voice tries fleshing out the threat
How could I have unknown
So many tempting scenes I now consider
With vampish words you say
Your whisper makes my body shiver
As does your pose that way
lips of danger, sweetened with regret
Where every taste is a debt we can't forget
An inner voice tries fleshing out the threat
How could I have unknown
Always dancing on the sharp edge of all that we should fear,
Sensing many pitfalls getting dangerously near
My vision's dubious and I don't trust this ground
Slipping into the whirlpool and we can't stop sliding down
your skin has found its way too close to me
floating on your perfume
With every heartbeat tension savagely
portends my nearing doom
lips of danger, sweetened with regret
Where every taste is a debt we can't forget
An inner voice tries fleshing out the threat
How could I have unknown
