What Do You see
What do you see
when you look into me
and know that it was me
you could never make
what it was you wanted me to be

Do you open your eyes blind
to see yourself in a mirror
of images no longer real
faded inside glass shattered
with yesterday torn and tattered

What do you feel
when you read into my mind
and see what you could never find
as you leave it all behind
with emotions beaten and battered

What do you see
when you face truth in reality
to know broken love could be no clearer
and hearts sooner or later had to break

New Hope
There's new hope on the things we do
new hope on all that we go through
to let us know we're not alone

There's new hope in another day
and in all that we can say
to brighten someone else's way

There's new hope in each morning sun
to remind us where we have gone
through this journey that has only just begun

There's new hope even through the pain
new hope through a rainbow after the rain
to get us through another tomorrow

There's new hope in the time we borrow
so wipe the tears and drown your sorrow
and let new hope take your troubles away

From Where I Hide
Through the Church Bell rings
and the trumpets that blow
where Angel's now sing
my heart hears the echo
of tears that weep my sorrow

On the dreams of tomorrow
shines a light through the soul
in darkness that I follow
the touch of another's shadow
from where I hide

Through times that stand still
in a valley hidden below
lyes a place of serenity
where the waters flow
into the misty blue

Inside all that is real
holds the love that I feel
that I still look to see
that's taken so much from me
reaching for the other side
trying to break through
Spiritwind ©2016
If you're going through times lately
where it's hard to see past the day
the weight of the world falling on your back
and you're feeling lost and lonely
thinking to yourself if only
when you can't seem to find your way

When moments wants to bring you down
as you hit face first in the dirt
while trying to keep your faith from the hurt
that the heart is starting to lack
looking through the clouds that rain
waiting to see the best out of today
as tears drop emptiness on the ground

Just remember to keep holding on
to what is inside you that's never gone
look through the clouds that rain
and feel the warmth of that shining sun
that is hidden behind the pain
for there will always be better days to come

Take Me Down
Take me down
I can't hold you anymore
take me down
you can have what's left of me
as I'm on the floor

Just take the rest of me
and take my heart when you leave
take me down
I can't see you no more
you're not in the lost and found
that's inside of me

You're nowhere around
not even in this memory
of what you and I use to be
take me down
there's no reason to believe
all that you gave to me
was only time slipping away
through my yesterday

Take me down
I can't hear what you say
my tears they won't stay
even after you walk away
I'll make it through the pain
after nothing else will remain

Cocked And Loaded
Doing my time and paying my dues
caught up in my midnight blues
hid behind my black and white hues
only to see my shadow through the sun

Stepped out to forget my shoes
doing the this and forgot my do's
thought it could only get better
but I found myself in the stormy weather
standing without my hat or a coat

I let the tongue slip to slit my own throat
when my ship would no longer float
thought I could win only to lose
on the decisions I would choose

I thought I would give love a chance
but couldn't handle that endless romance
when she took my heart
and stoled my soul
all I could do was watch her go

I saw the Devil waiting to dance
when I stood there in a trance
thought my time had finally come
when he pointed at me and said welcome

Thought that this world would change some
when I seen it come all undone
but it was only the start
to what has already begun
to all that has already gone
now cocked and loaded like a gun

Lay You Down
When mountains crumble
and Ocean's start to rage
when you fall and stumble
and you're locked behind a cage
I will lay you down
in a peaceful garden
underneath that shade tree
where you can always find me

When you face the trouble
of paths blocked along the way
when the mind starts to worry
that you can't see the light of day
I will lay you down
in the clouds of Heaven
where waiting for you I will be

When the final scene has been played
and the river's wide you had to wade
when your dreams are washed away
and you can't keep both feet on the ground
I will lay you down
and wrap you in my wings
where another day brings
the comfort you can find in me

I Wait
I wait for love's chance
to come beside me and dance
I wait for a love of a woman
who can come and move my world

Someone who can hold my hand
to always be there and understand
to be proud enough to call me her man

I wait for that one kiss
the one she says she has missed
when I walk through the door
that shakes the souls core

I wait for her some more
the one I been looking for
that is like none before
that comes in like a desert storms swirl
and brings me to the floor

Nothing Left Inside
Darkness comes pouring in
taking away my reality
and all that I feel
but only what is left to ****

Nothing more seems real
with nothing left for me
there's no more left to give
inside I have lost the will
with nothing more to live

Getting lost from within
I can't find myself again
nothing here to set me free
what is tearing inside of me
that won't leave me be

Screaming inside the pain
of all what is left to remain
feeling the emptiness rain
flowing through my vein
what is eating inside my brain
with nothing left inside to gain

Drifting farther everyday
into a state of agony
stuck inside a world of misery
needing to close my eyes to see
with nothing left inside me
but a soul left to steal

All I Needed Was You
All I wanted was love to find me
to know what it was to see
what a love could be
I just wanted a touch so real
that could show inside me
what the heart should feel
and all I needed was you

I wanted to see stars light the sky
to feel the warmth of your lips softly
in a summertimes kiss
to get lost in the tenderness
of your sweet caress
and all I needed was you

I wanted dreams so surreal
that got me so high
where I never needed to come down
to know their was a love that true
and all I needed was you
to look where I could be found

By The Devil's Hand
You love only what you take
not knowing how to live
you take what you need
and in return have nothing to give
to see only through your greed

Through eyes you show your hate
to look at me you discriminate
you judge and you persecute
with your guns you shoot
not thinking on the decisions you make

You destroy and **** our land
all by the Devil's hand
and from others you only steal
through your God in his name
you say it was all in His will
forgetting where it was that you came

Spirit's Free
I have seen a world in a vision
where our people again shall rise
to get past the inhumanity
you have brought upon us

We won't hide behind the fears
or hide behind your mask of lies
that gave us reasons not to trust

We won't stand behind our tears
in this world that tries to condemn
just for the color of our skin
or the faith in our religion

We will be strong with our pride
with the Creator by our side
for our Spirit's are free
and inside us it never dies

I Pray
When the tears that I cry
I pray my eyes you will dry
with the comfort of a friend
and bring to me a pleasuring grin
that will bring a smile to my face

When I'm feeling myself alone
like a begger without a home
with all that I had gone
I pray for me you haven't forgotten
and in your heart let me in

When I fall from grace
and can no longer try
reaching for a way to find an end
I pray you pick me up again
and give me a reason why

When I don't have strength to believe
I pray you still won't leave
and put inside the faith I need
to ease the pain that I bleed

And when it's my time to die
I pray for me you have forgiven
for all that I have done
that was covered by my sin
to get me through that Holy place

Chained To Love
Her tears fell from a sky
like a river moving swiftly
through pain and misery
she could not forget

Her heart beating cold
from a love she couldn't hold
as the storms rushed by
the dreams that made her cry

She held the memories of reget
that killed a soul deep within
that blinded the eyes to see
what remained of her reality
and left her alone there

Chained to love lost in despair
that she can't break free
and will never be again

Beat Of A Drums Rhythm
I dance through this life's journey
and feel the beat of a drums rhythm
blessed on this road for all that's given
surrounded by all of life's beauty
letting my Spirit wrap around it's freedom
while through life's echoes silently I sit and listen
as on the wind it's speaks to me a truth of wisdom
teaching me life's lessons still to learn
filling an emptiness with a Peace I yearn

If I Didn't Have You
What are dreams for
if I didn't have you
to make them come true

What would the sky be
if there was no color blue
to start off each day
with your smile like the sun
to shine down on me

What would I see
if I didn't have your beauty
to get me through
a world without you

Just what would I do
if I never had a chance
to have never loved you
and you weren't around anymore

Who would I hold close
and offer my heart and a Rose
when the song has begun
with who would I dance
when the music started to play

We All Need
We all need that somebody
someone we can hold and love
someone who we can lean on
to comfort the scars of pain
when everything else is gone
and nothing but tears fall

We all need a friend
that will be that shining light
through the times of darkness
who will make the sun shine bright
even through the rain

We all need the touch of another's hand
that will take away the loneliness
when we feel no one else is there
and sorrow seems to be the end

We all need the words to hear
to know somebody will care
when we feel in this world alone
to know someone will understand
when we're backed against a wall

We all need that one kind
who will look inside and see
when a heart has turned to stone
to let them know it will be alright
that even through clouds that linger
the stars still come out at night

We all need that piece of mind
to know hard times don't last forever
and there's more to what we have here
if we just reach inside to find
that Heaven don't only shine above
but is held in us from deep within
if we just grasp ahold of it again

Falling From Heaven's Grace
There was a time life was so simple
behind every book was a story to tell
of love that would shine a better place
a smile would send you on your way
that would wish another well

Now the faces all come so unclear
that only show shadows of people
of those outside of God's temple
that got lost somewhere along the way
hiding behind all that they fear

Once there was a dream of life in a fairytale
until the world watched a Heaven turn to Hell
seeing love burn the world with hate
it was all that some could only show
as demon's from the dark of another's soul
opened the door to another fire's gate
as the flame burned through

Refusing to hear what the heart would say
while one by one they stood and fell
falling from the light of Heaven's grace
not believing in all that was true
left now with a price to pay

They tried to teach me
of the white man's way
but I was born of Native blood
and they could never take my pride
that's something they couldn't steal away

They tried to fill me with their lies
and drown me in their flood
but I was wise enough to see
to look beyond their greed

They wanted me to coward and hide
but a true Warrior never dies
and they couldn't make me bleed
no matter how hard that they tried

They thought they could give what I need
through empty words they would feed
but failed to see what was inside
that my soul kept satisfied
something that they never understood

They wanted to change me if they could
but I knew my path and destiny
on this Red Road of my journey
their words were only wasted on all they say
because who I am is who I am meant to be

Shining Soul
I saw an Angel and looked in her eye's
as I saw through her shining soul
with her love in me she never let go

I felt an Angel upon Heavens wings
and reached for her from deep within
as I touched her undying heart

I heard an Angel while she sings
as I listened to all the things
of her love and blessings that I let in

And when I needed her there most
through the nights empty cries
she appeared to me like a ghost
and kept my soul from falling apart

She
She
She was the love of my life
her smile shun like the morning sun
that warmed me when the day was gone
she had the beauty
that no one could ever replace
I looked in her eyes
and my world just came undone

She I knew was only for me
so I made her my wife
she brought happiness that only I could see
and opened up Heavens true paradise
such a comfort she brought to me
with the elegance of an Angels grace
and I fell to my knees
surrounded by everything she sees

She came along
like the harmony of a morning song
she had the hair of gold
the one I knew I needed there
when I grew old
she was my everything
so I put on her finger a ring

She to me meant that much
and I longed to feel her touch
she lit the evening sky
the essence of every rainbow
her colors covering me softly
with every bit of her soul
and for her I would forever die
with my love for her to always share

Back Home To You
Laying here remembering your touch
how I wanted you so much
nights on the road I couldn't sleep
through the neon lights shining
outside my empty room
you were all that I could see
just trying to get back home to you

The time I been killing
with the time I been wasting
as your heart I would keep
here close to me
just to help me make it through
until I got back home to you

The dreams I wanted to share
those nights you weren't there
wondering if you thought of me too
the way that I wanted you
until I made back home to you

Looking up at the same sky
I would imagine you and I
kissing under the same moon
with stars in eyes that bloom
like Rose's that would never die
knowing all that I wanted to do
was make it back home to you

This Beauty
Share with me this beauty
the Heaven in our eyes
let me feel the beat of your heart
in dreams we can never part

Give to me a love shining
like Angel's in every morning
and let me hear your soul sing

Hold my hand as we give our everything
to this beauty we all could bring
in a world made of paradise

What Am I
What am I
but just another
only trying to get by
on hope with wings broken
falling just to stand
and try it over again

What am I
but just another
grain of sand
no different from any other
in dreams that now awakes

What am I
but just one more fighter
fighting to stay alive
dying inside to live
and just living to die
doing what it takes
just to survive

What am I
but just my own teacher
learning with my mistakes
things I did not know
only these lessons can show

What am I
but just another taker
of things I took for granted
that I should not have wanted
in a world growing cold
I now grasp to hold

What am I
but just another part
of this society
with a heart yearning to give
looking for a new start
with each day I grow old

What am I
but only a preacher
of my own words spoken
waiting to meet my maker
with faith in my hand
praying for my soul
that He may forgive
the things I once did not see

Shadow Of My Soul
Out of the darkness
of the shadow of my soul
a light came shining upon me
shining through of all living things
her nature's sweet caress

And as I gazed in the beauty
I could feel Mother's wings
wrap me in her serenity
feeling the touch of her gentle kiss
through winds that blew softly

I felt her soothing over me
like a child lost in time
in a place of long ago
where her love shelters me
like a sky that covers me
the brightness of her sunshine

Rich Man, Poor Man
I watched a rich man rise
and feed on his greed
taking more than he would need
but in the end just lose it all
and stand on his own alone


I seen a poor man fall
and through his palms bleed
working himself to the bone
just trying to make ends meet
picking himself back up on his feet

I watched a rich man hide
buried behind his pride
with blood falling from his eyes
and say not to have nothing here
he would have much rather have died

I saw a poor man stand tall
dry away his every tear
said it was better to have tried
than to just give up on everything
tomorrow surely a better day will bring
and Heaven's grace will fall on this home

Peace Inside
I felt a breeze in the wind
bring a calmness through me
gently that blew
that caught my dreams
and let me in
a world I never knew

I saw fire light the sky
in clouds passing by
on a day starting new
as peace inside me grew

I felt the rivers and streams
like blood through my veins flow
as I let love shine within
from deep inside of my soul

I opened my wings and flew
and let my troubles go
as my eyes started to see
all that was waiting for me

I let Heaven bring serenity
to a heart pain would only show
as I wiped my tears away
with thanks I started to pray
and let a new journey begin

On Sacred Winds
I am strong
because I have been weak
I am fearless
because I have been afraid
I am wise
because I have been foolish

On sacred winds I ride
a Warrior's pride
I carry from within
standing proud and tall
for all what is right
listening to the silence
that echoes the night
I hear the ways spoken
of our Ancestor's call
with their strength at my side
I do a Warriors dance

Missing You
I miss the Desert wind
blowing through your hair
and that big open sky
where the night would always shine
as a falling star would pass by

I miss the Springtime bloom
and the Summer heat of June
where thoughts of you I would hold
and I'm missing you

I miss those times together
where we thought it would be forever
walking barefoot through the sand
by the lake near the dam
where we would always go
and I held your hand
while you whispered my name

I miss the small town park
on a midnight stroll
where we kissed under the midnight moon
in the shadow of the dark
where I thought you'd always be mine
and I'm missing you

I miss the morning sunrise
as it warmed the day
to light the love in your eyes
that I swore would never die

I miss the evening sunset
where the dreams would never forget
as long as you were always there
and I'm missing you

I miss the smell in the air
after the falling of a rain
that always brought a rainbow through
and lead me right to you

I miss the miles that would never end
as we got lost along the way
down some empty Desert road
and the smiles you'd always send
with words you would always say
and I'm missing you

Giver Of Light
I am the giver of light
the shadows in the night
I am the waters that flows
and all that grows
I am the wind that blows
I am all the good that shows
I am the keeper of love
and all the stars from above
I am the clouds passing by
the mountains that reach the sky
I am the deserts glittering sand
and the sun gleaming bright
I am the one who holds your hand
when you have lost your sight
I am the wisdom that all knows
I am the way everyone soon goes

I am one with all that is sacred
with Mother Earth I am her Holy child
I am free as the wind
my Spirit runs forever wild
I am a part of everything
that the future will bring
I am the beginning of an end
to give life to all that is dead
I walk in shadows of the night
where even Angels will fear to tread
I am the wings of an Eagle in flight
soaring an endless sky
I am hope that will never die

Days Gone
I feel you breathe under my skin
with this love I don't know where to begin
torn between every mixed emotion
lost in this state of confusion
where my dreams become an illusion
that haunts me over and over again

Your shadow only a ghost of this memory
I can't escape from my mind
I try to leave it all behind
with these days gone I can't rewind

I see a world here without you
that's got me feeling like I do
still wanting you here with me
finding it hard to let you go
as you burn inside my soul

Through Echoes Of The Wind
Through echoes of the wind
come shelter me my old friend
give me strength to carry on
when the day has faded and gone

Give me the courage to fly
coast to coast through the canyon
and high above the sky

When the night comes and lonely
through your song sing to me
another Spirit's lullaby

When the road is long and won't end
show me wisdom to make it through
as part of me becomes you

Take Time
Take time to breathe and live for the day
make dreams to wash nightmares away
let go of all the worries of today
find the rainbow hidden behind the rain
let peace in your heart to ease the pain
and all good things will come your way

Slow down and take the time to look around
there's so much more still to be found
listen to the silence of a broken sound
and you will hear what is inside of you speak

Remain strong even when you feel weak
always ride with the wind
and know through hard times its not the end

Nothing More
Pain becomes my misery
she's the one I hold
to keep me company
for her my tears they cry
all that I feel inside
the hurt I can't let go

She comforts me
through all the sad
what I lost and what I had
when there's nothing more
for me to show

Pain becomes the heart
that in me has died
she is the dark I see
that now lights the sky
of my dreams before
that are no more

She is with me to never part
through every story
I have only left to be told
as she fills me with nothing more

Into The Black Of Never
I looked in the eye's of a stranger
to find out he was only me
staring back through a mirror
at what once use to be

I saw inside myself a bleeding soul
images that come in much clearer
of what I could not let go

The pain I felt from long ago
seemed to have remained forever
from a past I found hard to control
through tears I could only show

My heart blinded to all I see
into the black of never
was the only place I would know
as darkness drew nearer

Inside of miseries cage
I fed the hunger of my rage
turning a chapter of another page
into the black of never

The Rising Sun
Do you just drift away
shattered with a empty emotion
from feeling's of the past
promise's that wouldn't stay
now they are all gone
you got no place left to go

So you take a ride
away from the rising sun
leaving everything behind
searching for things out there
that you couldn't find
did the good time's last
out there on the run

Lost inside the mirror of illusion
of everything forgotten and abused
was it a safe place for you to hide
away from the pain and confusion
beaten down and used
did it ever escape your mind

She just stared out the window
and said I've said again and again
time after time
no, the pain never escaped my mind
as fast as I could drive
as far as I could hide
I looked beside me
and confusion was riding by my side

So I turned around
my back to the calling moon
and I drove back toward the sun
but here in the dark I wasn't sure
where everything had gone
and as easy as I drifted away
in the winds of yesterday
against the wind
it was harder that way

But I fought on to travel the miles
back to where we once stood
feeling crazy that I was hoping
you would still be standing at the crossroads
where that canyon between where things
changed to not so good
as I crested that mountain
of going back
I feared that I have lost the way
nothing looked the same

And then spreading across the horizon
melting over the Eastern sky
the sun began to rise
and there you were
no confusion, no illusion
there you were
this time with the rising sun

Walk Away
Even if you love me still
I don't wanna know
just walk away and let me go
I have nothing to give you
that you want me to show
the pain is too dark that I feel
and I don't know what is real

I don't deserve to have you here
so don't tell me that you care
I have nothing to give you left to share
just walk away and leave me there
I can't give you something that isn't true

And when your nights are cold
and the sky turns gray
don't look for me to hold
just turn and walk away
Spiritwind ©2012
Like a brother I will stand by you forever
and we will walk the red path together
like a brother of my own blood
I will love you and watch over you
from your eye's I will wipe your tears
and ease your aching heart from pain
like a brother I will protect you from your fears
when you feel alone in the night
like a brother I will help you see it through
and be the bringer of light
like a brother beside you I will always remain

Dying Salvation
Times are in despair
I see corruption in law
now you're so despondent
this world seperated in dichotomy
now becoming a one world goverment

Soldiers, one by one
watch them all fall
fighting for a right, without reason
all for greed of this land
take this life if you dare
blood spills only in your hand
under this morning sun

To the front of the line, my forgotten son
you will die for treason
if it's not for me
on your knees you will crawl
eyes blackened, you can't see
this is the land of our free

One world under one nation
yet we still don't agree
dying salvation
just take what is not yours
sign of the times you ignore
blood stained fields even more
like rain it pours

Inside Of Me
I look inside of me
try to find who I use to be
I look inside of me
now he is gone

I try to feel inside of me
I feel nothing inside of me
I hide the hurt
keep it all inside of me
took it a little to far
we are who we are
can't change all that's been done

My face down in the dirt
I sleep no more
something here inside of me
forgot what I was here for
nothing inside of me
that will set me free

Everybody needs to take a chill pill
there's so much love to fill
everybody needs to take a chill pill
let these wounds heal
everybody needs to take a chill pill

Let it be your will
dry all this blood we spill
everybody needs to take a chill pill
find in your heart not to ****
everybody needs to take a chill pill

Think how the world would feel
everybody needs to take a chill pill
think of it as being real
everybody needs to take a chill pill
take your guns and kneel

You won't have to steal
while you watch your tire's peel
everybody needs to take a chill pill
nothing here is that big of a deal
if only it was so surreal
little bird on the windowsill
everybody needs to take a chill pill

For A Price
The Devil knocked and said to me
come on and let me in
I will let you do my deed
and you can do my sin
in return I will give you all you need
and let you ******* greed

On my hunger I will let you feed
for a price of your soul
I will give you complete control
if you choose to take my road
I will give you fortunes you never thought to hold

For a price you'll be bought and sold
only to be with me through eternity
so burn with me in my fire
and I will give you all you desire

But I knew my strength and who I am
and for a price he knew he couldn't win
because my faith was stronger than him
as a hundred Angel's in me unfold
to make a Warrior out of this man
and do what Creator has told
as the Spirit in me took me higher

Weeping Willow
I hear all the secrets you keep
when you lye next to me
your breath that whispers
all the hurting inside
show on your tear stained pillow
when you're asleep

I know the pain you hide
the ghost outside
that lurks through the window
under the weeping willow
where our love has died

Lonely cast's it's shadow
as the empty cuts deep
you don't let it show
but in your eyes I see
what has become of you and I

Through the sadness you cry
where you dream no more of me
and love fades and withers
under the Weeping Willow
where I had to let you go

I am a Spirit's messenger
through their eye's I show you visions
so you may see hope on a darkened road
of a future up to us to change and hold

I share with you a place of peace and unity
and carry with me their voices
on the winds of four directions

Their strength and wisdom flow through me
so that I may open eye's to understand
the truth in which they give me to see

Together as one we all share this land
and we must all as one stand
side by side hand in hand
to bring balance and harmony
before all is lost in a sickened world forever

Living Love And Living Easy
We were young wild and free
neither had no care or worry
nothing together we wouldn't do
we were living love and living easy
as time stood still with no hurry
there was nothing we couldn't get through
with it just being me and you
seasons would come and years would pass
and the dreams we had never would last
all we shared were now left in the past
but still every now and then
I find myself thinking back when
remembering days of a memory
when we thought together would always be
what it was we use to see

Nobody Knows
She held her heart bleeding in her hand
said nobody knows what I keep inside
how I bury the pain and swallow my pride
how I keep myself alive after I died
she stood on the edge of reality
where nobody else would stand
looking through the other side
said nobody knows the tears I cried
after all the promises only lied
nobody knows what is killing me
leaving me alone cold and empty
in shadows where I remain and hide

I Am One
I am one with all the sacredness
a breath of Mother Earth's kiss
and through Her tears I feel the pain
in a world lost full of greed and loneliness

I am one with the light in the darkness
a star shining bright through Father Sky
when you need a guide out of the emptiness
I am one with all that you could not see
until you made your eye's part of me

I am one with all things
high above the Mountains I spread my wings
and through the cloud's of time I fly
like Eagle's soaring forever high

I am one with the wind of a Spirit's gentleness
a touch of a beauties breeze
through your soul my beauty sings
as Autumn leaves dance in the trees
through a Autumn's rain

I am one with the love of vision
the dreams of every generation
that Peace shall forevermore reign
in the hearts of all that weeps in sadness

Burning
A mind without reason
echoes of a past
of a changing season

Memories turning to stone
looking through broken glass
of all that is gone

A city burning to dust
losing faith in trust
with demons burning inside us
and we do what we must

In a world of lies and treason
do we stand here alone
with a smoking gun
in a world burning like the sun

Souls cry for freedom
as time slips by so fast
burning in what we have become

Behind These Eyes
I have no children to carry my name
there is no love or a family
who will remember me when I'm gone
all I have are my words to carry on
to leave behind what I have done

I'm not looking for riches or fame
don't need a red carpet rolled out for me
I just want the whole world to see
all that was burning inside of me
to carry on with my legacy
of who it was that I am
what made me into this man

I want the world to see and know
all that I had here that I would show
through these thoughts I write for you

I'm not seeking to be held in praise
when it's time for my final days
just want the world to see what I been through
and the dreams that I made
behind these eye's that soon will fade

My Love To You
I sat down by the edge of the river
where the dreams of us use to flow
with pen in my hand
I wrote all my love to you
everything I wanted to say
I wrote all in this letter
that I could never seem to send

It said I would give my love to you
if I could please only make you stay
I would give my love to you
and dance with you forever
if you could only find a way
I would give my love to you each day
like the one that you never knew
and every morning would always bring something new
if you could believe in a love so true

I could give you the night and
turn your sky blue
but now only a time tells stories
that's written in the sand
as I close my eyes to pretend
that I never let you go
