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.
