If on some uncharted land I wander as I please Silence comes the morning sun Now streaming through the trees ~ Destinations carry me Along a sorted way Down the path to anywhere On any given day ~ Corners I may come around Are sharp in their design Slowly I do make my way To see what I can find ~ Loneliness I’ve come to know As yet my only friend Days and nights do travel so To greet me once again ~ There beyond a clearing In the brush so thorned and thick Making haste I follow through My legs they move so quick ~ For but any sight I see To dance before my eyes Thoughts that seem to comfort me When then I realize ~ Sunning long the water’s shore If but a fantasy A beauty drinks of nature’s fair As if she waits for me ~ Now my shadow blends the scene She turns to show her face Like a painted masterpiece My mind can not erase ~ Glowing like an evening star So radiant and true Hair of brown and velvet sheen I’m lost inside her view ~ Then her smile captures me It holds on ever tight So as I can hardly breathe My head it feels so light ~ Come and sit here by my side Her words a happy song Sitting down I can’t believe Somehow this must be wrong ~ Oh be still my beating heart For her so long I’ve missed Like an angel sent to me If but to know her kiss ~ As the sun is setting And the moon begins to rise Watching the reflection glow Within her tempting eyes ~ Now my days are endless As I now know what that means For I will spend forever With the woman of my dreams ~ And we shall go a wandering Where ever we may find Sitting in the shade produced Beneath a jasmine vine ~ All along I thought this place Was heaven don’t you see Now I know it is the truth *Since she is here with me
