Songs
Journey of the Soul
Duet.
- P1
- It were a very sad day. It were a mournful day,
- A treasure was lost: a woman had passed away,
- P2
- In brief darkness her soul wandered, lost, alone,
- When a warm Light appeared and brightly shone
- P1
- An angel of Light she had found and so they spoke,
- "Are you an angel? Will you bring warmth and hope?"
- P2
- "Is your spirit troubled, are you lost my child?"
- P1
- "Yes, for I have parted from family and love mild.
- Angel of Light, who knows the way in this world,
- Will you carry me away in your arms as foretold?"
- P2
- The Angel shone bright, her voice cleared still,
- She reached a hand and said "come if you will",
- P1
- Comforted by her chanting and soothing sounds.
- They parted from life's sorrows and its bounds.
Sing you to sleep
- In this city, in a dark street, late at night,
- Lies in the shadows, hidden from the moonlight,
- Naked, cold and shivering, a lone man in tears,
- Doubting his faith, slowly drowning in his fears.
- Come with me, my love, let us show this man Light,
- So it nurtures him, gives him strength and might,
- So he can work once more for his family to feed.
- So he regains his faith, of which he is in need,
- Voices are calling for us, love, they need aid,
- In this troubled world, nearly our dreams fade,
- We are not permitted to mourn our dutiful fate,
- Far worse, do we see, live people without faith.
- Come with me, my love, let us show them our Light,
- So they learn to stand strong and once more fight,
- So they may regain their faith, and have them freed,
- From this bitterness and find in love a new creed.
- After such a day of battle and straning our mind
- Two souls are left in need of a moment so kind,
- It's a beautiful woman, and the man by her side
- They may be tired, but together they look bright.
- Come with me, my love, we have fought for the Light,
- Let us seek rest. Will you let us share the night?
- May my song bring you dreams till you sleep tight.
- Will you let me be healed by that endearing sight?
My angel, lost
- Your smile meant so much more than I dared admit,
- Your words, your counsel, support and stubborn wit,
- Was I too late to return what you gave to me?
- Was I too late to admit what you meant to me?
- Come with me, Stay with me, Lay beside me,
- I want to dream away, just once more,
- In your arms, comforted like before,
- And feel your breath in neck and ear,
- To fool my heart, your love is near.
- I believed you would stay by my side for long,
- But fate had turned and suddenly you were gone,
- You were lost I showed my feelings with a token,
- And we were both left alone with a love unspoken.
- Come with me, Stay with me, Lay beside me,
- I want to dream away, just once more,
- In your arms, comforted like before,
- And feel your breath in neck and ear,
- To fool my heart, your love is near.
- My vision and mind had darkened, I couldn't breathe
- Hoped my grief would bring my heart to its final beat
- But you left me only words, telling me to continue
- That it'd be alright, but it's not, not without you
- Come with me, Stay with me, Lay beside me,
- I want to dream away, just once more,
- In your arms, comforted like before,
- And feel your breath in neck and ear,
- To fool my heart, your love is near.
- You didn't let me choose my purpose; I was tasked,
- I was to conquer my sorrow and doubt, as you asked,
- Even in my grief and sorrow, you forced me to peace
- Against my heart, perhaps yours, you gave me release
- You came to me, Stayed with me, Stood beside me,
- You let me dream away, just like before,
- Speaking words, of comfort once more.
- And we shared our smiles, you were near
- You relieved my heart, with love so dear.
Will you hear my song?
- Oh my love, my dear, will you hear my song?
- You make times right, when they are wrong.
- There is so much I'd like to share with you,
- My heart, my mind, perhaps my lifetime too.
- In help I find reward and faith,
- Though it leaves me in a state,
- Exhausted and tired, beyond me,
- For I work till I'm pale to see.
- Driven passion to help and aid,
- Time for us is difficult to make,
- But at the end of a such long day
- It is to your smile I find my way
- Oh my love, my dear, will you hear my song?
- You make times right, when they are wrong.
- There is so much I'd like to share with you,
- My heart, my mind, perhaps my lifetime too.
- The street, so dark without noise,
- Lights up with the hum of my voice.
- Profound love fills again my heart,
- Renews my spirit after a time hard.
- The road home basks in the Light,
- My tired feet then find new might,
- They bear me as light as a feather,
- They know you make me feel better.
- Oh my love, my dear, will you hear my song?
- You make times right, when they are wrong.
- There is so much I'd like to share with you,
- My heart, my mind, perhaps my lifetime too.
- As a lighthouse guiding me safely,
- Shines the light at home greatly,
- Leading me to my dearest treasure
- A sweet love, grand beyond measure
- It radiates so warm and inviting,
- I forget the long day of waiting,
- I already cross the wooden stock,
- And then eagerly on the door knock.
- Oh my love, my dear, will you hear my song?
- You make times right, when they are wrong.
- There is so much I'd like to share with you,
- My heart, my mind, perhaps my lifetime too.
- The lights of candles come to greet,
- Even more dear is your smile I meet,
- And two eyes, so profound and deep,
- Stayed up for me, instead of sleep.
- No matter how my feet feel sour,
- This moment stuns me ever more,
- I'm carried by this lovely sight:
- Your smile that makes things right.
- Oh my love, my dear, will you hear my song?
- You make times right, when they are wrong.
- There is so much I'd like to share with you,
- My heart, my mind, perhaps my lifetime too.
Love's Quill
- My love has driven the quill to write,
- Writing of feelings by the candle light.
- My heart sings, free of worry tonight.
- For I know I have your love by my side.
- Sometimes the future may not seem bright
- Do not be troubled, my dear, by foresight,
- To me is revealed the strength we'll find,
- By sharing our love and our words so kind.
- My quill continues this worry free song,
- For it knows that together we are strong,
- Just know, my dear, that our love is true,
- Together we will see the hard times through
- No matter what my future may have in store
- I shall fight my way to you for ever more.
- When I think of you I feel again a whole.
- Such is the love that rejoices in my soul.
- When I finally see again your lovely face,
- My heart feels blessed by Light's grace
- It burns my passion as if it were on fire,
- To be with you in my hearts great desire.
Storm Outside
- The storm outside is brooding,
- It brings thunder and flooding,
- Its winds bring scraping sand,
- When nighttime finds the land.
- The waters will come in tides,
- Launch itself on all our sides,
- For you I'll endure every wave,
- For you, my dear, I'll be brave
- For you I'll weather the storm,
- My arms around you like a dorm,
- Tonight you will know no harm,
- I'll hold you till all is calm.
- After the tide, the water's gone,
- That's when the evil shadows come,
- To feed on what ever then remains,
- Or spread evil with their stains
- Around and round they will creep
- Don't let it trouble your sleep.
- By you side, my dear, I'll stay
- I'll ward you till they go away.
- For you I'll weather the storm,
- My arms around you like a dorm,
- Tonight you will know no harm,
- I'll hold you till all is calm.
- But after every time of fright,
- A new day is born, a day bright,
- The final drop has fallen down,
- Light will shine and bring dawn
- When the shadows fled in a hiss
- I'll wake you with a gentle kiss,
- Reveal that it's a beautiful day
- By you side, my dear, I'll stay
- For you I'll weather the storm,
- My arms around you like a dorm,
- Tonight you will know no harm,
- I'll hold you till all is calm.
When I hold you
- You seek me out, I'm to firmly hold you,
- You say you love me and I love you too
- In this time of confusion we find peace,
- A brief refuge from all but love's tease.
- Burying in my shoulder your face so fair.
- I then lay my hand on your golden hair,
- Lost in your warmth and compelling scent
- An enchantment on my mind so benevolent
- Enchanted by you, my heart is borne away
- I hold you firm, wishing we could stay,
- Living this moment, having it last longer,
- Sensing this enchantment grow stronger,
- Creating a world of love without wrong,
- A world that knows only love and song,
- Eternal love is what the words foretell,
- Maybe I did not understand them so well,
- I find my eternity when you hold me tight,
- Even should all be in unfortunate plight
- My heart fills with new hope and strength,
- For it says love will find peace at length.
The order of the day
- Though the sun may still slumber, and not yet rise.
- For me, day began as I watched you open your eyes.
- The prelude of todays dawn lies in your eyes blue.
- Such is the order of the day, when I love you.
- So we begin our arduous tasks, working side by side,
- While we remain together, you make any burden light.
- We loose track of our time, till the sun is through.
- Such is the order of the day, when I love you.
- Our bodies grow tired, but our hearts beat together.
- I tell you poems or sing of love that lasts forever.
- You don't say a word but your eyes are speaking too.
- Such is the order of the day, when I love you.
- Before we finally set out to find our bed and sleep,
- We whisper of our hopes and under the covers creep.
- Sealing our words with a kiss of love pure and true.
- Such is the order of the day, when I love you.
- The sun has long set, the skies have turned black.
- But the day won't end while your eyes stare back.
- Then sleep takes us, but the dream does continue.
- Such is the order of the day, when I love you.
Poor child at war
- She was so young in her looks... her heart younger still.
- She lacked patience for books... had too energetic a will.
- Everything was a game to her... No mountain was too high,
- So She followed us to this war... Suddenly her end was nigh.
- Poor child, looking no older than sixteen,
- This war was not meant for you to be seen.
- You should not have come along, not here.
- Now we have to fight for your life so dear.
- Though a fight broke her nose... War kept a luring appeal.
- So for another battle she rose... Believing all could heal.
- Had she known this was her fate... And chosen not to fight
- It wouldn't have been too late... She'd still play this night.
- Poor child, looking no older than sixteen,
- This war was not meant for you to be seen.
- You should not have come along, not here.
- Now we have to fight for your life so dear.
- The War hungering for new blood... had death grip her hard,
- And in its life devouring plot... sent a bullet to her heart
- Looking pale like moon and star... And eyes that didn't see.
- So she was coughed up by the war... So she was brought to me.
- Poor child, looking no older than sixteen,
- This war was not meant for you to be seen.
- You should not have come along, not here.
- Now we have to fight for your life so dear.
- Bless, she was saved by Light... Her body made able to heal,
- But war proved her its might... Suddenly its horror was real.
- She didn't return as she came... Now she would know better
- But she never smiled the same... A scar on her heart forever.
- Poor child, looking no older than sixteen,
- This war was not meant for you to be seen.
- You should not have come along, not here.
- You have lost your smile and will to cheer.
