Going somewhere

somehow we're going somewhere
meeting the winter with care treating
my mind with care longing for the
sun not there

how come it's not there not shining
through my hair it's frozen me into
a deep sleep hibernation time is here

has come out of nowhere nature's,
little timebomb has gone off bringing
rain, cloudy days, stormy nights, blinding
light snow and ice

right at your doorstep, another try to get
through thawing out the ice, taking what's
mine taking what's there

it's been years, where is that smile it was
wiped out when I came back from that
long long ride at the edge of life

The core

sometimes...days are lonely and
without reason sometimes days
are filled with a sadness you
never knew

but time will come and heal from
within its core as it should when
you're hurting way down deep
from within your core as it
weeps

We don't touch

we look, an' see what we haven't got
we laugh, but there's no smile in our
laugh 'cause...we don't touch

our days are empty, nights shortly lived
and a lot, we cannot fill them with what
we haven't got...we don't touch

and ev'ry morning is not a new day 'cause
our yesterdays are gone and won't come
again

and when we talk our words are caught
in their hollow silence 'cause... we don't
touch...we're not in love
