Life

as the pain reaches its outer limits

I still think I can take 

the trophy life

is

A slow pain

there's a slow pain
penetrating my heart
I think somehow
I'm almost certain
almost convinced
it has reached
each and every part
it must be love
there's a slow pain
penetrating my heart

strong talk of what you have
talk of what it is
to be on top of things
seems all so very important
I don't need it so much
only thing I can think of
is it in you to love
'cause a slow pain is
penetrating my heart

all the strong talk
cannot diguise
cannot even hide
what's going on inside
what's happening to you
I can only guess what I see
it must be love you need
something you could get
if you just don't let it be

now you've stopped
your eyes lock into mine
with a strange tempting look
and you feel a slow pain on the rise
it shows in your eyes
I read in it your thoughts
I know what you've got
a slow pain's penetrating
your heart

Wondering

we miss what we feel
and feel what we miss
it is out there somewhere

can we have it can we hold it
can we wonder where we are
or...might be

it's something we miss
and we miss what we feel
we know what it is
this what we think is it real
we wonder

and if we would find each other
would we be complete
we wonder

our wondering is complete

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

(c) JR. lyrics eightees

Here to stay

don't know what the future brings
I will go by the wind let myself free
the way it pleases me

don't care what people think
life will be my drink, here's a toast
to that new road

I will only go for the best
to hell with the rest, now's when
I live, love an' kiss

beware, take care I'm on my way
I'm here to stay
