With me

wherever you go
wherever you are
I'll be there
you'll be there
waiting for me
waiting for it to happen
to bring us together
to go all the way
not to hesitate
yet never to hate

but keep it all in the heart
in the mind, in the soul
we were whole
nothing can take away
nothing can change the day
I met you, cherished you
envied you
for the beauty you had
all of it you shared
with me

with me
only with me
you shared
all you had
without regret
your soul lay bare
for me to care
and keep always
you never questioned me
you trusted me
you were a leaf
floating on the wind
carried to me
to find
to bring home
with me

and you stayed
never complained
never could I fail
in your eyes I was great
we had a lifelong date
I'm so glad for what we have
what we've got
seems to be enough for us
not to be blown away
not to float away
to another place
you stayed
found your tree agian
to celebrate
our union
that took place
and you stayed
never complained
you stayed
with me

Change of heart

deep within the wings of time
my thoughts lie bare, waitin' to
be collected, one by one to keep
them save from destruction, by
the hunters there, tryin' to change
them for me

and I know they will be comin', takin'
away the only freedom I have, my freedom
of thought, so I have to run leavin' them
behind, waitin' for me to collect them again
when time has had, a change of heart and
my thoughts again, can speak their mind

Change of heart

deep within the wings of time

my thoughts lie bare waitin' to be collected

on by one to keep them save from destruction

by the hunters there tryin to change them

for me

and I know they will be comin'

takin' away the only freedom I have

my freedom of thought so I have to run

leavin' them behind

waitin' for me to collect them again

when time has had a change of heart and

my thoughts again can speak their

mind

As my soul weeps

and yes, he was my father
in ev'ry sense of the word
I his promise to the world
he meant to keep

and when I fell in the face
of my future he raised me
up unto my feet so I could
live the life meant to be

and when he fell I raised
him up as well as I could
but in the end his life was
no longer meant to be

and yes, his souls's still
in me the one I couldn't
keep sometimes I can hear
him speak as my soul weeps
