A mind so beautiful

sometimes I look over my shoulder

into the distance of a lost yesterday

a yesterday I left behind something 

comes to mind

a mind so beautiful, so full of love, in love

I guess I should have stayed, I should have tried

I left somewhere around midnight

I had that urge buried in me, deep inside

an urge to be again on that road

be on that stage, perform, my way of life

I couldn't resist and I couldn't hide

so now I'm back on that road

enjoying what I do best,... yet what you do best

always comes at a price. I had to leave 

a beautiful mind

so sometimes I look over my shoulder

into the distance of a lost yesterday

a yesterday I left behind, something 

comes to mind

a mind so beautiful, so full of love, in love

I guess I should have stayed, I should have tried

I left somewhere around midnight

Prince of darkness

when the night has come upon me

and Lucifer's wrath is nothing more

than an unreal dark hole, with nothing to offer

 

trying to spil his venom into my mind and soul

in an attempt to stop my new morning from coming in

I challenge my fate and his poisen dies a brutal death

as my willpower is more than he can take

claiming my new morning as a release for my peace

when its light caresses my mind, body and soul

healing his madness of darkness,...

inside me.

Escape

when the rain has fallen, but its solution, a road less travelled 

still speaks a lie, take no prisoners but escape into the light 

'cause,...even the smallest amount of happiness 

can last a lifetime

Forever love

I need a reason and the reason's 'why'

'cause why should I stay, when my world's falling apart ans astray

you were my first choice, my first love, I trusted you

with all my trust and my forever love

now,...cast aside in a whirlwind of dust and forever time

maybe you think in what you had was never there

but sometimes what you think, was always there and never left

just you know,... I've known your reason, all along and all too well

So now in parting our ways, I wish you well, my advice, don't come back

'cause regret will be all you have

On a sweet Summer's day

I don't know why

but she came to me on a sweet Summer's day

a sweet lady, with her sweet breeze of the day lying in wait

and she took my love, showed it to everybody's eyes

she was so much in love and everybody knew why

she gave me that meaning in life, so many are denied

but to me it was a gift, given to me with a smile

and every time I look at her I still can see 

the reason why.

Smile

I am a man of taste, style and a smile

I laugh at society, 'cause,...I will never comply

to their sense of taste, style and a smile

Pieces of the unknown

a tear was blocking my view into her heart

as I felt it break into its pieces of the unknown

making me wonder, what happened to cause those  tears

to be shed as they were never shed before, there was no story, memory

or even recollection, as the origin of those tears, was never known

she only looked at me with her eyes in accuse, no words

only silence leaving her breath, still,...

I wonder why she left, in her quiet with drawl

I saw her walking away into ever greener pastures

then,...

I deep down in my heart,...knew
