tonight

where are you tonight my love
when i am here alone
staring at the stars above
hearing my heart moan
loneliness is an old friend
an ache only you cure
so where are you tonight, my love
and how can i be sure

incomplete

because i want to share
i stay awake each night
because i want to share
i write

because i want to care
i give up everything
because i want to care
i sing

to keep the energy
to keep it sensual
to keep the dream alive
until the one arrives

and i don't ask for anything
except some one to share
and i do not want anything
except someone to care

because i want to love
i stay awake each night
for all these lonely years
i write

because i want to care
i embrace everyone
because i want to care
i run

to keep the energy
to keep the stamina
to keep the dream alive
until the one arrives

and i don't ask for anything
except some one to share
and i do not want anything
except someone to care

i am the child inside
giving all i can give
i just want to love
i just want to live

i am the child inside
trying to stay true
to the dream of love
i keep here for you

because i want to share
i stay awake each night
because i want to share
i write

because i want to care
this song is incomplete

what are you doing tonight?

what are you doing tonight
is someone holding you tight
do you live with a stranger or all alone
has everything turned out alright?

what are you doing tonight
do you long for morning light
is life full of danger or safe at home
has everything turned out alright?

counting the years, there are more than a few
counting the changesd between me and you
but counting the memories we never knew
do we wonder what happens when dreams come true
has everything turned out alright... for you?

the children i would have called my own
the children that i never knew
the life you share is it all that you wanted
is it real, is it right, is it true?
has everything turned out alright... for you?

you can say i'm still waiting
for perfect love's return
for i knew it once
and nothing else burns
as sweet or as bright
as pure or as true
nothing else compares
nothing else will do
unless you never knew

what are you doing tonight
is someone holding you tight
the life you share, is it all that you wanted
is it real, is it right, is it true
has everything turned out alright... for you?
i hope everything's turned out alright... for you.

dream for one more day

i made your children my children inside my head
so have you come back to take that illusion away?
i don't want to remember all the mean things we said
i just want to keep my dreams for one more day

once upon a time when i was young
my dreams were strong and flourished in my mind
and even though the best of them may not have come true
remembering them as i do can be kind

and if i embellish on them now and then
who's to say what was or might have been?

i made your heart my heart inside my memories
as beautiful as any dream love could ever know
so if you're here to wake me from my fantasies
no, no no, no, no, i don't want to let this dream go

once upon a time when i was young
my dreams were so beautiful in my mind
even even though the years have challenged them to fail
remembering them as do can be kind

so if i exaggerate them now and then
who's to say what could or might have been?

and what is real?...
anyway?
is it not what we feel
right now, today?
and if i feel love
and wish i could share it with you
is that so wrong
even if it's a dream that will not come true
what if it's still the best i can do?

so please don't tell me what to do inside my head
even if you don't want me part of your life's play
i'll remain devoted to my dream of loving you
and the children will be mine for one more day
i just want to keep my dream for one more day

once upon a time when i was young
my dreams were all i'd ever hoped to find
now i'm in those years where any day could be my last
so let my dreams be the last thought on my mind

and if i don't hear a single word you say
it's just cuz
i just want to keep my dreams for one more day
just leave me with my dreams for one more day
just let me have my dream...
for one more day

muse

i remember a time
when the world came to rhyme
in the words in my mind
the muse was so kind

the pieces all fit
and i was part of it
the singer, the song
listening all along

i remember a time
when i'd sit in one night
and the stories were told
right up to morning light

and as if it was planned
by a masterful hand
the magic of music
lead to wonderland

and i never knew how it happened
i was just as surprised as you
and when people stood up and applauded
i stood up and applauded too

and you laughed and called me a magician
and the tears welled up in my eyes
for i knew i was just the messenger
for a muse that was so much more wise

i remember a time
when the words came to rhyme
in the world in my mind
the muse was so kind

just let go

would you melt into my soul
would you give up all control
would you let go of all fear
would you share being here
without restrictions
without inhibitions
without hestitations
without complications

just let the moment embrace us
and experience everything
let no walls come between us
let our heartbeats sing

i remember
how it can feel
when love is real
and everything is shared

i remember
how it can be
when love is free
when everybody cared

i remember
how hope would rise
open our eyes
and let us believe in love

i remember
how it can be here
when we conquer fear
we can rise above

and we don't need to dream of a heaven
for we can make heaven on earth
if we just let go...
if we just let go...
will you just let go...
let go...

would you melt into my soul
would you give up all control
would you let go of all fear
would you share being here
without restrictions
without inhibitions
without hestitations
without complications

just let the moment embrace us
and experience everything
let no walls come between us
let our heartbeats sing

wrap

and if i wrap myself around you
would you melt into my soul
would you wriggle as if resisting
only to enjoy the rub

and if you wrap yourself around me
would it be losing control
would you deny conscious choices
like the ring around the tub

how many times will you turn away
from the obvious experience you deny every day
how many times will you run and hide
from the euphoric experience you can know inside
when you come inside

holy men have haunted you for years
challenging your passion and your pain
so afraid of feeling that they condemn feeling real
drinking your tears, washing your brain, killing your zeal
until you don't know how you feel or if you feel
or what is real

and if i wrap myself around you
would you understand a thing
would you play the social game boy
fingering all the right keys

and if you wrap yourself around me
would you want a wedding ring
would you place rules and conditions
on the birds and the bees

how many times will you play the fool
in the natural experience that you try to rule
how many times will you play the game
exchanging love and peace for guilt and shame
and laying the blame

on holy men ahead of you for years
feeding you false hope between their lies
so afraid of living that they fixate on despair
and death as cheers pretend the fears are all you share
until you don't know how to care or why you're here
or who cares

time enough for love
if you live so long
answers wait for you
just like this song
all you have to do
is open your mind
the truth is there
where's it's always been
while you look elsewhere
instead of within
fear has made you blind
to your own mind
no wonder you think
life is unkind

and if i wrap myself around you
what would it mean?
was it all a dream?

there was a time...

there was a time when i would write without much thinking
it was a time when i could feel drunk without drinking
adrenaline or endorphins or something magic in my brain
gave birth to endless streams of meaningless refrains

and i would babble to my heart's content
for that was what i loved to do
most times just talking to myself
but always open to welcoming you

for i believed in human kind
when love and trust made miracles
and the innate goodness of the human heart
was real to me…

there was a time…

suddenly solemn
the light flickers painfully
faith stretched so thin it is invisible
how can hope remain in me

for all the broken promises
and all the betrayed trust
condemned to face the funeral
of love conquered by lust

for all the user's cruelty
and all abused by faith
i don't want to give up but i
feel time is growing late

a prophesy may come to pass
self-fulfilled by human pride
the end beckons the ignorant
in species suicide

all my life i cared too much
and all it got me was burned
all my life i shared too much
by now you'd think i'd've learned

all my life i felt too much
the shallow all drifted away
all my life i knew too much
just to piss it all away

there was a time…

there was a time when i would write without much thinking
it was a time when i could feel drunk without drinking
adrenaline or endorphins or something magic in my brain
gave birth to endless streams of meaningless refrains

and i would babble to my heart's content
for that was what i loved to do
most times just talking to myself
but always open to welcoming you

for i believed in human kind
when love and trust made miracles
and the innate goodness of the human heart
was real to me…

there was a time…

suddenly silent…

suddenly still…

suddenly sudden…

and… i… always…. will…

shhhh, you know the thrill

(it's still…
such a thrill)

. . .

all my life i cared too much
and all it got me was burned
all my life i shared too much
by now you'd think i'd've learned

all my life i felt too much
the shallow all drifted away
all my life i knew too much
but fool enough to say...

i love you
one more time
before i go away

when nobody's looking

can you still feel your body
or have you shut it down
do you need to drink liquor
to feel out on the town
can you feel your heart beating
or are you going numb
can you still feel your body
or do you just cum?

i don't want to compromise your senses
i don't want to confuse or upset you
i don't want to trigger your defenses
but have i really met you?
has anyone met you?

do you touch yourself when nobody's looking
or have you left behind your fantasies
do you need pornographic stimulation
to remember the birds and the bees
is there a way to reach you or are you gone
i'd really like to know your heart and soul
do you let yourself go when no one's looking
or are you out of control in control

too lost in control
in a world of fear
where love is repressed
so don't get undressed
don't even come near

unless you can feel
unless you can care
unless you can trust
for trust is a must
before you can share

so many lonely people have forgotten the song in their hearts
and while that may not be the end of this life
that is where the end starts

do you feel yourself when nobody's looking
or have you lost touch with who you really are
do you need somebody to tell you
what to believe in or how to follow your star
are you just dreaming when you are sleeping
what limits do you place upon your self
do you feel yourself when nobody's looking
or are you like a book upon a shelf

i don't want to mesmerize your senses
i want you to know i won't forget you
i don't want to play with your pretenses
sot have i really met you?
has anyone met you?

are you too lost in control
in a world of fear
where love is repressed
so don't get undressed
don't even come near

unless you can feel
unless you can care
unless you can trust
for trust is a must
before you can share

so many lonely people have forgotten the song in their hearts
and while that may not be the end of this life
that is where the end starts

are you where the end starts
are you where the end starts
are you where the end starts
or are you ready to sing the song in your heart
or are you ready to share the song in your heart
i hope you can share the song in your heart
