So many words...

So many words ring out like bells
How do I use them - I don’t spell so well
I just rearrange them in the stories I tell...
So many words ring out like bells...

So many words floating in the night
how do I use them - I don’t know how to write
Still I must seduce them all before the morning light...
So many words floating in the night...

So many words calling out to me
Like kisses of the lovers in my fantasy
I chase them to the cliffs of my sanity...
So many words calling out to me...

So many words I still can’t find
Like the whispers that echo in my mind
From the voice of the one I had to leave behind...
So many words I still can’t find

Magic

Have you ever seen the shadow of Orion
Melt into the colors of the sea
Have you ever fallen in love
And the fall felt like eternity
Have you ever seen a blue moon turn gold
Through the winter rain
Has it ever felt so good
That it caused you so much pain
Can you feel the fire burning
Hotter than the sun
Raging in my heart
That keeps me holding on...
To every kiss you ever gave
And the ones you hid from me
Every heart beat that you stole
And every dream that you sat free

Give me all your tears
And I’ll turn them into wine
Give me all your secrets
And I’ll give you all of mine
Tell me of all the dreams you lost
And I’ll make them come true
And everything that I’ll ever write
I’ll only write fo you
Can you feel the fire burning
Hotter than the sun
Raging in my heart
that keeps me holding on...
To every whisper that still lingers
And the glow you left behind
I can go around the world
But I know I’ll never find...
A magic like that again...

If it's not love

(I wont walk a thousand miles for you)
an unfinished rock ballad

If it’s not love I came here for
I’ll leave my heart there on the floor
With all the letters I will not send
I’ll just live and pretend - that I don’t love you
If it’s not love I’m looking for
I’ll lose myself in the night once more
I wont finish this song - I’ll let it fade away
And all the dreams I had - I’ll let them go in vain and I wont...
Walk a thousand miles for you
And all the things I said I’d do
I wont jump from the highest mountain
Steal the stars out of the sky
I wont run across the ocean
To die inside your eyes...

If it’s not love you want from me
Then why don’t you set me free
Unlock the chains of my heart - take this curse out of my mind
Lead me to your Heaven or leave me far behind
If it’s not love I feel for you
Don’t let me do the things I do
Don’t let me finish this song - I’ll let it fade away
And all those midnight promises - I’ll let them go in vain and I wont...
Ever break my heart for you
We’ll never know if this love is true
I wont turn your tears to diamonds
And turn the night to gold
Trade my soul to devil
To make you mine to hold...

I look for your smile

I look for your smile down empty hallways
I listen for your laugh in unlit rooms
Your smile I have drawn on walls and restaurant cloth napkins
But still I am nowhere closer to you

I’ll never have so much money that it will buy me glory
I’ll never have so much fame that all the world would know my name
But if it would make you happy to dance in a palace ballroom,
surrounded by kings and queens
I’ll steal my fortune and borrow someone else’s fame

If fifteen minutes is all it takes to make our mark on time
I’ll give you thirty with the fifteen that were mine
And when I am forgotten and no one remembers who I was
Would you try to save the me I left behind in words
