Time the wilderness

 

where are we

we are away from the distance we travelled in

and yes, we have reached our place of choosing

and yes, something is wrong...our future...its gone

we are stuck in the middle of time

and time, as always, has a mind of its own

it won't move, it won't move aside

so...do we know where to go

is it out there will we recognise it

when we come to that wilderness, time is

where our future lies, will we know

and yes, again we are on the road

walking through time

walking along its guiding light

we are out there with a purpose

we are out there with a goal

we are walking the road

where our fame and glory is waiting

but will it be our future when we reach it

will it be waiting

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

It's all we have

I'm very at ease, always am
when darkness is in reach, gently
she is in the night, with you there
at my side

you don't say anything, nothing at all
you don't have to, I know it all, just
lying there with you in the depth of
the night

I know, very strongly, here's where I live
here's where I belong, you're allways there
with me to share, without any regrets

it's all we have

A Silence

all I wanted was to think come
to terms with my surroundings
where

I didn't find a will to listen to
the silence I bear, a silence is
in me

keeps me out of touch, out of
reach, guarding my secrets a
silence is in me

so I struggle on, fighting
contradiction in a process of
regaining

a balance in my soul, I need
'cause a silence is in me regaining
my security

is all I need to get by, this silence
will leave me in its retreat, free, on
the mend

I'll step into life again, a silence is
in me, keeps me out of touch out of
reach

it will always leave, a silence is in
me

Wonder of it all

I can only dream
of what I've wanted
but have become

I can only see
all the work I did
and have done

I can see what
I've become and not
what was in my reach

my world broke away
when I was in need
my world didn't come through
my world left me

so now it's takin' chances
with what I've got and
the wonder of it is, it still
is enough

so I live on out of my league
but still, yes still I'm pleased
what's become of me

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
