Together Somewhere
Let's spend the weekend together, somewhere
You pick the spot, I'll go anywhere
I'll climb the fences, you'll put flowers in my hair
Let's spend the weekend together, somewhere
Let's spend the weekend alone, just me and you
We'll do the things we've often wanted to
We'll share some good times before this night is through
Let's spend the weekend alone, just me and you
Let's spend
The weekend
After all these times I know I love you still
And as these feelings grow, I guess I always will
I'm gonna love you, love you until
The sky rips apart and the earth stands still
We don't need permission to play in God's game
He's got us in his focus, we're playing in his aim
There are no rules to follow, as long as we play fair
Let's spend the weekend together, somewhere
Let's spend
The weekend
Let's spend the weekend together, as friends
As good times go, I hope this never ends
We'll drop our inhibitions, there's no need to pretend
Let's spend the weekend, together, as friends
Let's spend the weekend together, somewhere
You pick the spot, I'll go anywhere
I'll hold you tight as we breathe the crisp night air
Let's spend the weekend together, somewhere
Let's spend
The weekend

The Rivers

The Rivers
Softly sung in quiet voice
As happens much too rarely
Take it to heart then tuck it there
Be mindful of it, fairly
Know that all spring's flowers bloom
The same, though ever changing
The golden hue of forest's trees
Still glow, though rearranging
In darkest night or brightest day
The rivers keep on flowing
Past the flowers, in spite of snow
Beneath the forest glowing
The hardest thing we both must face
As we keep growing older
Is to watch a different river flow
On an unfamiliar shoulder

Tears Wasted

Tears Wasted
Who done it
Who broke your heart
Then ran away
From tomorrow
Don't cry now
Tears wasted
Always been something to learn
From today, or days that are coming
All that I've got left to say
Is, "Better just quit your running"
Who done it
Who caused you pain
Cities all the same
Nothing left to blame
Don't cry now
Tears wasted
I've got a better idea
To bring a smile to your face
Just grab 'hold of my hand
Together, we'll run from this place

Wrap You

Wrap You
I'll make my bed with sheets of satin
To let your soul rest quietly
I've been long in waiting for you
Love me, now, before I sleep
You've been traveling, you are weary
Longest days and lonely nights
Gently play your music to me
That lies deep within your heart
No love comes from sudden meeting
All love comes from deep within
I'll wrap you in my robe of silk
So we may have a restful sleep
Though our feelings are of pleasure
Divine love is ours to hold
I'll press you to my bosom, tightly
And let you feel my love unfold

As You Glow

As You Glow
As I look across the field
To the barn whose paint has peeled
That stands between the wood and road
As dawn shines her bright eye
From the corner of the sky
I think of you
I imagine your reflections
Written down with such perfection
As the ink dries on the notes you made
And the moonlight through the window
Bathes your body and as you glow
I think of you
Time heals all pain
Sunshine will replace the darkness and the rain
Thoughts in my head
My lips will never speak the words I should have said, but now,
I think of you
In your garden where you're nested
From this world that's so congested
You reap solace for your soul and mind
As the starlight hits your hair
Throwing colors everywhere
I think of you
Time heals all pain
Sunshine will replace the darkness and the rain
Thoughts in my head
My lips will never speak the words I should have said, but now,
I think of you

Sweet Kisses

Sweet Kisses
Bright crescent moon
Out in beautiful space
I'm on a long cold drive
I can't forget your face
The sun will come up
Ride its glorious height
You know I'll dream of you
When I'm alone, tonight
Say
Hey
Let's spend some time together
Conjure up our own fair weather
Just like we did before
Snowflakes on tongues
Laughter to share
Footprints in snow
There should be four of them there
Say
Hey
Let's spend some time together
Conjure up our own fair weather
Just like we did before
Sun's setting low
I miss holding you tight
Soft breezes will blow
Your sweet kisses tonight

Loveless Street

Loveless Street
Cold heart, let me feel you beat
Turned numb on this loveless street
Outside, all the leaves are green
Springtime, no more winter scene
Dark heart, let me see you shine
Burned out through this loveless time
No light on the streets I walk
I need hope, but, all I get is talk
I need to know that you can be my man
I need to know there's someone to understand
Cold heart
Still heart, let me hear you sing
Turned mute by this loveless thing
I've tried, through these lonely nights
To understand, but, I just can't get it right
I need to know that you can be my man
I need to know there's someone to understand
Cold heart

Hope You Think Of Me Too
I've been here all day
Been here all day
Been here all day
Nothing to get in my way
Get in my way
Been here all day
I've been passing the time
With verse and rhyme
Been passing the time
Birds and clouds above me hover
Noontime says the day's all mine
Basking in its lazy sunshine
I've been here all day
Been here all day
Been here all day
I've been thinking of you
Thinking of you
Hope you think of me, too
