THOUGHTS IN THE DAY I
 

DAYS

All those Saturday people
Keep on telling me
That my Monday won't be
What I expect it to be.

All I have is an open mind
With a heart trying to match
I live with no expectations
I live before the fact.

So take your Saturdays
Then crawl back to your caves
I'll live through Thursday night
And see you in a couple of days.

All I have is an open mind
With a heart trying to match
I live with no expectations
I live before the fact.

I keep trying to tell myself
That she loves me.
I don't want to remember
The miles between.
It seems like our time
Won't ever come
And the miles and time don't help.
I keep trying
To make my lonely days right.
I dread entering
Into those long dark nights.
There must be another way
To share our music
Together.
 

DOVE

All my days are leafy blue
Because I'm not with you.
All my words are ragged steel
When I'm not with you.
See how the sun shines
Like an arc where you walk.
All my fears are water clear
When I'm not with you.
All I hear is wicked clear
When I'm not with you.
 

RAIN

You didn't hear the rain
Walking across my roof
In the morning.
You didn't see the dark clouds
Drift by my window
Before the late dawn.
You didn't share the early hours
With me in bed again.
You just weren't there girl.
Nowhere around
Empty
Quiet
Stillness
And the rain.
 

TO DREAM

When I think of all the dreams
I have imagined through time
I have yet to see a broken one
Or forgotten some of mine
I have run into corners
The joining of two walls
Listened to the cool talk
And argued shouting calls
But my dreams hold fast
Like the necessary word rhyme
I'm determined to live them
For whatever length of time
