Maybe

maybe, love saw me coming from afar

maybe, love thought I was too strong

and did not need to find her love

but love, she was waiting, kept me waiting

sleeping, dusty, sometimes hollow and grey

where the sand tells you his tale

covered with grain, covered with rain

maybe, she saw me coming from afar

maybe, but then I found her

and love's love was mine to take away

and maybe, maybe she will stay

maybe...

with love...who's to say

An old love

she crept up on me while I was sleeping

started about what once had been, I sensed

something was wrong, I knew I had to find her

would I know if I saw her, would the years not 

keep her away from me, I got up, still wondering

about her, with guestions at the back of my mind

I couldn't answer any of them, she had dropped

out of sight since a long time, her trail had run cold

there was nothing left to see, all I could do was

dig it up, at its roots she might be

I was getting near, so very close when I read this

ad in the paper and its news was bad, all it said was

I could stop digging, I could stop thinking of ever

finding her

now I've got all the answers and none of them

I like, it now is a never ending story, they take

a long time to die
