Live and tell

all I wanted, were precious things
to put in my house, but they were
beyond my reach, beyond my dreams
beyond my means, beyond the style I
wanna live

now older, more mature, I now can buy
it is in my reach, now I find they're not
the things I need, through time I was
given things worth more than, style, house
way of life

can now enjoy a good wine, conversation
someones pleasant nature, well meant compliments
an evening well spent, the company of a well
spoken woman

live with her the good life, even if it means
living out of style, as long as the rent is paid
as long as the food is there to take,

I don't feel out of place, I feel I still did well
to live and tell

Where you live

It's been a long time
I failed to connect
you look at me
from beyond the skies

I can see the pain
in your eyes
I didn't know that
at the time

I wish I had
I wouldn't have failed
to connect

ans you stil reach me
through time
lookin' down on me
from a million lights

watchin' me from
the source of life
you have me wondering
what it is you want of me

you've been taken
beyond my reach
all I can do is wait
for me to go where
you now live
