I’d like to be
Somewhere in the sea
Where my life and wife can be
Alone in the sea
Is where we will be
My bride and my pride, you see
To love and live
Be it the same
Though in certain proportions
One heart can remain
Alone in the dark
With subtle remarks
To a love so lovers beware
Once upon a time
Sleep was an escape for me
But as you know
Time wears on
Now sleep is avoiding me

At first, I was a happy man
Who smiled at all he sees
But as you know
Life goes on
Now heartache is my company

I could live the lives of a thousand men
Traveling endlessly
But as you know
It takes a moment
To salvage sanctuary

So once upon a time
When time wasn’t a thought
But ah, you see
Time is that
That keeps you away from me
To live a life that I never known
Is to love a woman who never shown
I saw her once at the dusk of summer
To fall and spring at the end of winter
With summer returning and hopes raising
To see her again would be surprising
I stayed up late nights to see if she'd come
To no avail my hopes had run
To my great enjoyment I spoke too soon
I'll call you early to make plans for noon.
Your heart so fragile

Your eyes so delicate as morning wind

I woke to find you

Reading by candle light



The way you found me

It's as though we’ve been searching all our lives

And I know there was so much more to be given

But I left you alone that night



That was when I found myself someone better

All the promising I would never become my father

I wish I would’ve treated you better

So on my mantle I wouldn’t be displaying your letters
Come freely darkened shadow

Come along with the wind

Set your sights on the horizon

And I will mend your broken wing



Come along enjoy the weather

Feel the breeze throughout your hair

Mark December for your departure

And I will linger ever after



Come as you are I don’t care if you’re near or far

Come as you please I know you are all I need



Believe what you see

We’re in a ******* hole

No way to be certain

No need to grow old



But I’ve been one to notice

That the present is like the past

And all our dreams are in focus

But we can’t seem to make them last



So I’ll awake from my slumber

I will update my calendar

I will see that it’s December

And I will linger ever after
There is a light

At the end of a tunnel

When our hearts cease to beat



It’s the feeling you get

When you’re all alone

And a lovers eyes you meet



It’s a long endless journey

With no sense of time

It’s the warmth of a soul

That will help and get you by



Have the angels found you

Alone with an empty heart

Will you make it to heaven

Or were you doomed from the start

Will I find you in the afterlife

Waiting at the gates

Or will I find myself abandoned

Oh, where will we meet



There’s a light

At the end of a tunnel

It’s calling out to me



I’ve felt this before

When my heart skipped a beat



It’s a long endless journey

With no sense of time

It’s the warmth of a soul

That helps to get you by



Have the angels found me yet

Alone in my bed

I will make it to the heavens

A quiet and peaceful end

I will find you at the gates

I will see your vibrant smile

I will rest in peace but I’ll never be alone

May I rest in peace but never rest alone
