First Light

the first rays of light
are climbin' over the rooftops
they're hardly seen
but my eye catches them

I think it's time to go
time to call it a day put
my soul to rest and lay
just call it a day

get the night of my chest
give my heart a rest just
call it a day

mornin' comes in to the day
mornin' comes without rain
I'm restless so very restless

can't put down my head
so much goes on in me head
can't lay it to rest

I'm driftin' in to the mornin'
driftin' in to a new day
got to give it my attention
before it slips away

before it slips away must
capture that light capture
it in my heart

let it live on in my body
let it live for a new start
I'm at ease now, lay to rest

where my head's lying
a light is shining, growing
it gives energy to my body

it will need to rise again
eager to challenge a new day
to live through it all the way

capture the light for all times
keep it day by day, 'till
the light grows dimmer
and...
I won't need it again

Sometimes

sometimes, life throws at me ev'rything it's got
sometimes, I'm not worried I've dealt with a lot
sometimes, life's just that bit too short
and ties my weary mind in a knot

when, I feel like resting my weary bones
and...
my bothered soul's sounding its retreat
when life's become too difficult for me

just for a moment or two before I blow
my lonely horn in support of its victory

sometimes, life throws at me everything it's got
sometimes, I'm not worried I've dealt with a lot

sometimes, ... 

                       life's not too short

Lips

your lips
keep visiting mine
your lips
keep leavin' mine
lips my very soul
lips my very own
lips my very goal
lips my very game
lips...
got to be tamed

I've never been ashamed
now you turn on me
may the lips I keep

a showdown makes you leave
no more lips for me
a passion is in me

where are the times your lips
kept visiting mine, never to go
away

lips a silly game
never to return
lips lost in time

what made you do it
what
punishment is mine
will there be a time
when you wish your lips
kept visiting mine

A gift always leaves

ev'ry thing is for sale under any other name

 

it always has a price, sometimes more than you'd like

 

even a soul is for sale, yet a person can change

 

 

a gift came your way an' nothin' was ever paid

 

 

it becomes a posession added to your collection

 

a woman takin' your name, thinkin' you had it made

 

 

a gift was changin' its ways
 

 

this woman her price you couldn't  meet

 

an' you cried out thought you were home free

 

even a gift doesn't come cheap, it could have been a winner

 

had you paid

 

 

now you're livin' in your own dark shadow

 

of the day

 

should have known she wasn't for free

 

'cause a gift always

 

leaves

Infinitive love

My

 

body

 

is

 

a

 

temple

 

where my soul

 

reigns

 

 

 

filled up to the rim

 

with faith, truth, compromise

 

if

 

needed

 

when it reaches out

 

for

 

the boundries

 

of

 

infinite

 

love
