A name

returning to a place
I couldn't  name, I couldn't find
I couldn't see, I was blind

returning to the past
couldn't find a laugh
couldn't find my tree
couldn't find the happiness
that once lingered there

tied up in my memories
tied up in my past
where I had to leave
in a thundering blast
last piece of love I ever had

didn't get back in time
to look for those pieces
to claim them as mine
bringing them together again
leaving on my lips a name

they won't say it again
a trail has gone cold
memories have grown old
my tongue has gone lame
a name never spoken again

back to a dream
not even near, not even here
not even in sight, gone from
my  life

Roses

remember me to the roses

 

we took

 

remember me to the fiields

 

we lay in

 

 

remember me to the alleys

we

walked through


could I say we were in love

remember me as I was


I

can remember you even if I can't

get to you

ev'ry day you are more beautifull

in

a mind that's been restricted for timeless

years


remember me to the roses



and the roses have grown as they

must


those fields  must be larger I trust

our

alleys will be longer to run


will love have lingered on long enough


will you remember me as I was



could I say we were in love


remember

me

to
 
the
 
roses
