My Rose

My Rose, my English Rose

showing me her love, her understanding

showing me her true colours, something 

I will live and die for

Empty

empty is how I feel
empty where it hurts
can feel the pain
when I see her again
going through that door
just don't seem to take it
as well as I did before
my armour is showing fatigue
my strenght is getting weak
a battle has not yet been won

I must hold on as long as I can
take it for another run
and I'm feeling empty
tired of playing that same old game
over and over again
but I must go on
see the setting of yet another sun
it will be many days and nights
'till again she will arive

and she knows I'll be waiting
like all those years before
she'll stay, laugh and play
'till emptiness hits back
when she has left
with it dies my laugh
I just don't seem to take it
as well as I did before
how long must this go on
'till I can settle the score

Stones

powerfull, powerfull stones
precious, wonderfull stones
no strenght can ever match
showing their light instead

stones are my delight
cleansing my soul inside
soothing my weary mind
guaranteed is my life
so strong I'll survive
greatness never does die

stones to keep me company
stones that will support
stones won't get me lost
stones stay close to me
stones to keep me company

they'll always be there
they'll always take care
always share their [ower
stay with me ev'ry hour
ev'ry night into the day
stones will never go away
