The Abyss

Floating through
The abyss
Black and bliss
I tasted of the fruit
Trembled from the kiss
There I knew
What to choose
How to lose
Who to miss
Never let me down
See everything so clear
Covering ground
Like the dew, my dear
I'll never be found
If you keep me too near
Gathering salt
For a new tear
I'm on my way
To be born anew
Maybe I'm me
But I'm no you!
And blood on the highway
Never ran my way
That is
Till I changed my view...

It's Gotta Be Love

It's got to be love
At least that's what I'm told
I've got a heart that won't start
Like an engine gone cold
And that's got to be love
I don't know who I am
Can't speak my own name
I could wind up dead
Or out of my head
I don't know who I am
But I never will leave
I'm always right here
You floored out the door
Your mind in third gear
And I ain't gonna grieve

Purple Well

Like a falling star
Unaware of where it goes
I live this life
I never really chose
It’s a hard path, yes
But you can lead me through
I’ll do my best
To follow you
I walk among
The iron halls of time
It’s been so long
Since I could call you mine
Drifting in
And drifting out again
They think they know
How everything will end!
Beside you now
An eternity of dust
Who would have thought
That it would follow us
Inside your hands
The sand begins to flow
Into the purple well
We go

Wind on the Water

Well I dreamed I was comin’ home from sea
Like Noah’s white snowy dove
And a man has no destiny
But to be with the one he loves
And the wind pours out on the water
While shadows hurl curses at the sun
And I’m holdin’ my breath like a martyr
But I’m sure— yes, I’m sure you’re the one
Oh they said you lived in the pages
Said I’d find you on my shelf
But I heard you echo through the ages
And I had to see you for myself
And the wind pours out on the water
While shadows hurl curses at the sun
And I’m holdin’ my breath like a martyr
But I’m sure— I’m sure you’re the one
Well I dreamed I was comin’ home from sea
Like Noah’s white snowy dove
And a man has no destiny
But to be with the one he loves…
