Pieces

waitin' at the threshold of time
as life leaves us lookin' out over
a field where a late season dies

my life is as that season, lookin'
over its shoulder, lookin' at what
it leaves behind maybe with some
of those lost pieces it just can't find

sometimes you're collecting those
pieces remains of what once was
until they al come together as it was

I spend a lifetime collecting those pieces
and they almost have come together still
a couple are left, I myself am the last piece
to collect

that's what life is collecting pieces
until they all come together at a window
in time giving us a chance to see what lies
ahead on the other side

Allways

I'll always be thinkin' of you
even if you don't of me
there'll always be that touch
you left behind

it was more than kind
yes you spend time with me
time our own

'cause we came so close
and you were lost in me
as I was in you

yet you didn't come through
you came
an' went in the same way
I found you

struggling for you
as I was all the time
tryin' to save me
an' you

I wasn't used
I really couldn't say
whose to blame

we played the game
which I would recognise anywhere
in it were you

why couldn't you keep me
as you should

Shadow of our desire

she's lyin' there, lyin' in wait
her seductive smile passin' behind
the darkness of her eyes

and her moist an' tender lips are
waitin', to unleash her passion on
my mind

as I know she will, as I am waitin'
stirrin' my fire with her emotion,
showin' me the flesh

of her history inside my time and her life,
where we are waitin' playin' an' teasin'
as she's pleadin'

closin' in as slowly as she can into
somethin' we both know all too well
yet it has to be played

along the lines of that shadow of desire,
that had remained when we first met and
only time

can reveal or tell, how long we will play
this game, how long we will go on, it will
be untill

our history is satisfied and has nothin' more
to burn then it will become the lie of our
thruth

cast aside, by the shadow of our desire
when... it fell
