I just want something
To make me feel that way
The way that I used to feel
That way I used to feel
How you look in your eyes
That look in your eyes
The way your hair fell down
Into a shadow from a ship
As it blocked out all the sun
As it floated on and on

I sat and watched you as you were making all of those  mistakes
I wondered if you would ever believe me that you just can't go that way
But you knew what you knew and you kept on going. letting the light shine in
It's bright and I'm hoping
Time will not know me
I'd rather be turned to rain

But it's dry in the summer and I'm hoping and hoping
that your leaves will never  change
When the winter is coming, I know that I'm lying
I'll make the same mistake

You couldn't tell me
One good reason
Why you should stay
But you kept talking
Lightning and thunder
Without any rain

I feel it in the grass and in the driving rain
In lonely amber sunsets
Ending long hot summer days
You tell me it's not real but I'm sure that I can feel it
If you give us one more chance
Were never gonna make it
So here's to giving up
Raising up your glasses
A toast to sleeping alone
And one for lost romances

I'm gonna take my time
Give or take a minute
When your talking about life
I don't really need it

You talk to me about love
Like it's a place you visit
Just to sit a while
You leave before it's ended
So you can't understand
This feeling that I'm knowing
Cause you're already gone
One day you will regret it

I find your room the way it has always smelled
The smell of crushed petals, young love, lust
The sound of your breath is love letter soft
No softer silence has been broken than that in between
Your each and every breath
If I could see into your dreams
Full of lakes glowing in sunset and the smell of pine drifting
You are in your forest
Walking for the sake of wonder
Learning the sound of the world
Dreams
I stand here over your sleeping form
My heart beats so quickly
The weight of it all
Resting in my chest
White soft sheets and the smell of lavender
I know you sat awake reading
Les Fleurs du mal
I know you sat awake reading
As you told yourself
That I would be there soon
But sleep took you in that sudden moment
I know you told yourself
You would close your eyes just for a moment
And I would be there soon

Yet you sleep so soundly in the dark
As you wait for me in shaded dreams

Here I kiss your sleeping lips
Begging for a moment of your warmth
Wishing just for a moment of your warmth

Peril
The storm of life
I sleep in the darkness
Packed into the pitch black
Inside a coffin crushed under the pressure under the dirt

I always thougt I would go in some car crash
On a long highway  
In the middle of the afternoon
Some perilous rush hour
Daily commute

Or in some great battle as a king
Killing my ten thousands
Covered in dirt and grime
A hero of people

But I died alone
Lying in this bed
Waiting for my kids
Who never visit

On a space station Me and You
Just me and you living up there all alone
I’m sure that  this space station would be too big
To see You every day
So I write love letters
And I fold them up
And  leave  them floating all over the place
Just for you to find

Today I saw for the first time
A white flower growing outside
Out on the yard
They throw the ball
Waiting for a sirens call
I looked up from my silence
And to my surprise  a
U.F.O  hovered near by
Without a moment of fear I knew
I walked towards the glowing disc
Tears melting in my eyes
Beauty
From an open hatch I saw him smile
My father  coming to talk for a while
He walked up to my with tears in his eyes
And said “Don’t worry bud, it’s alright”.
We had a long talk that day
Even in the cold sprinkling rain
Memories so deep and full and fresh
My father’s face all wrinkled to death
I love you son more than life itself
Across the yard an orderly yelles
Inside for snacks and medication
I smiled at my father
Still so much to tell him
But he waved goodbye
And I waved goodbye
And a short walk inside
To white hospital walls
I took my pills and sat and wondered
As off in the distance a small ship hovered
Looking for a moment as if to say
A moment of looking can be as long as a day
A nurse walks by her hair white-blond
Towhead said
You’ve sure stared out that window for a long time, ***
