Crawl 3/26/99 The hours without you crawl by and every minute seems sixty heartbeats wasted. I never was a clock watcher until we met, and now I always wait to see you, so eager to touch you! Now the hours without you crawl by! I turn on the TV, I listen to songs, but nothing can ever make time less long. I go out with friends, but I don't belong, I try to bear up, but find I'm not strong! And the hours without you crawl by: I feel a hunger I can't satisfy! Each day spent without you I end with a cry. How long can it last before I die? The hours without you crawl by! O help me! Ease my pain, stop these tears that are pouring like rain. Come on, stop me! Slow my brain-- these streams of thoughts will drive me insane! Dethrone 12/14/99 You said you had to have it done today, and have it done your way. You wouldn't listen to a word I'd say: it had to be your way or no way! Why won't you ever listen to me, open your eyes to what I see? Does it hurt so terribly to take a chance, to be free? But then I saw your face--your vacant eyes answered all my questions why! It was just too much-- you wouldn't give, even a little bit. You don't know enough to understand even a little bit! The boss man thinks he's king of cubicles but somehow lost his way. He's dropping more than his principles, but he won't get away. He hears the hounds snapping his heels, although he still holds power, and now he finds he can't cut deals and he's afraid it's over. It's over. And if you see his face, his vacant eyes will tell you why! Dream 4/7/2000 When I dream of you though we're far away I feel one with you both night and day. I want, I love those dreams of passionate scenes but how can it be till you're back with me? I'll never be free of our destiny till you're back with me. Erosion 5/26/99 Time washes through me like a river: pieces are slowly washed away. Other features have grown larger: sand that builds up in a stream. Why have I become an island, watching that water passing by? Bridges I built to reach others somehow stood the stress of time. But I still feel I am an island watching that water passing by. Every Day 1/20/99 Every day the new creation that's pumping life into our lives does not insure times are not boring: that is our choice if we go slack. There is a world beyond the window and there is wind beyond the pane. Come out and join into the action: don't stay encased by glass embraced! Come out, employ all of your senses; come out, enjoy the kiss of life. Why do you wait and let your life drift until it's late-- less time is left! So do not sit behind your window and think about the things you'll do. It's time to go across the threshhold into the world you want to know! Every Time I Think of You 3/15/99 I don't know what it is you do, but every time I think of you I want to cherish, love you so, want to stay with you. You seem a queen, you make me tremble every time you come near. It's like a dream, emotions scramble every time I love you, dear! I don't know what it is you do, but every time I think of you I want to cherish, love you so, want to stay with you. Your eyes are dark, your eyes are mystery, I lose myself inside them, dear! I want to look into your memory and lose myself inside you, dear! I don't know what it is you do, but every time I think of you I want to cherish, love you so, want to stay with you. I beckon you to come and walk with me, whisper words so sweet and dear. I promise you I'll share my destiny, making yours one with mine, dear! I don't know what it is you do, but every time I think of you I want to cherish, love you so, want to stay with you. Everywhere 12/10/99 When I look at other girls I see how they look like you or how they don't compare: I see you everywhere. Whether we are far apart or close enough to touch, your lips are at my fingertips: you're with me everywhere. And when I whisper, dear I know that you are here, I know that you will hear: you're with me everywhere. You never seem to leave my mind and our touch spans space and time: love that I had never dared to hope that I would ever share. I see your eyes; I kiss your lips and I embrace your loving face with trembling hands and fingertips. I see you everywhere.
