I LIKE TO SAY YOUR NAME

I like to say
your name

when you're
not here

turn you
into sound

conjure you out of
thin air

so that you appear
before me

dressed in sound
only

memory sketching in
the rest of you

as if sound
was just an outline

and love
colours you in

adding the voice last
so I can hear you say.

"Hello you..!"
and there you are

as present
as present

can be.

I like to say
your name

when you're
not there.

when the rain is falling raining down on me
my mind begins to wander inside my memory
i can see the times that i spent with you
good times that we had when our love was new

when we were together when our love was strong
all the love we knew before it all went wrong
the memories are there i see them everyday
and the times with you before you walked away

now im am not the man that i used to be
the love that i once new has walked away from me
its raining in my heart every single day
now the love i knew now so far away

when the rain is falling raining down on me
my mind begins to wander inside my memory
i can see the times that i spent with you
good times that we had when our love was new

now im am not the man that i used to be
the love that i once new has walked away from me
its raining in my heart every single day
now the love i knew now so far away

theres legend of a dragon they tell in donegal
he  has great big wings nearly ten foot tall
soars around the valleys. when the moon is bright
blowing out is fire lighting up the night

shakes his big long tail as he goes flying by
flying through the night all across the sky
maybe it is true  a dragon could be there
flying all around flying every where.

this is just a legend just what the people say
the dragon we believe in will be there to stay
one day we will see it as it goes flying by
blowing out his fire lighting up the sky.
