Darkness
A ship on the horizon
My sun is setting
Waves crashing against the shore
Dark shore
The moon is watching
Crying
Lonely
Silently waiting for it's turn
To shine upon all humanity
To shed it's grey light upon
Land that was colored just hours ago
Darkness tries to gather us to its breast
Darkness brings quiet
And quiet brings rest
Rest brings color to our dreams

I hope he knows

I am sitting next to my open window
Thinking about me, my mess, and my future
Tonight I let the wind blow through my long hair
While I was wishing I could have the chance to say
All I wanted to say to him
I can see his face still from the moment we said goodbye
Then as I recall this memory
My problems fade into darkness
And I remember quiet days with him while walking
Through the forest hand in hand
Then it came the time to say goodbye
And watch him go on that plane back to his home
He said it was all his fault
I miss him now more than ever
I feel sorry for him
He said the same
There are things that remind me of him
There are days
Songs
And smells
Every time we depart I hope it isn�t the last
I just hope dad knows that I love him

Do you know

I�ve heard it�s true about what you do
Do you know?
Do you know who it is?
I want to see
That face behind the mirror is looking back
Looking back at all those times when I could have told you
When I knew
Do you know?
Do you know?
That face in the mirror won�t look away
Do you know?

Face the emotions

I�m sorry for what I�ve done
Made you feel the way you do
Nothing can change it
Nothing can cure it
You�re hurt
You�re wounded forever because of my ugliness
You look at me with those sad eyes
Sometimes happy
Sometimes afraid of me
There are many expressions
But all I can express to you is:
I�m sorry for what I�ve done
You�ll remember forever
And you won�t forget this face
A face of emotions

Voices
I heard a song on the radio
it doesn't come in clear
like many of those near
I wonder how far it's heard
and who else is listening to it
on their midnight drive.
As far away as Tennesse?
What man and woman
are driving dodwn a dark road
feeling lonely and crazy
like many of us now.
How far is it heard?
When those stations barely come in...
A voice so close
yet so many miles away from clarity
like the voices in my head.

She

You don't know what she's like.
You only know that she is pretty
and can leave em' with a smile.
So let's go down a mile...
She's gonna' hang her head a while.
While those old boys at the bar
Reminisce about the child.
Dreams gone by
Flying high in the sky
Getting drunk with that guy
I don't know why
You don't know what she's like.
She can make you wonder...
wonder--who she is
That girl with the smile
That girl with the frown
The one who's the clown
On the other side of town
Is it the girl in the magazine?
Or the girl who's not so clean?
You only know that she's pretty
and will leave you with a smile.
So let's go down a mile
and see.

I can fly (into the night)

I open my mouth
but nothing comes out.
I open my ears
but still ...nothing.
I open my mouth
but no one hears my calls.
I scream
and still no one hears me.
It's very dark outside
and no one sees me.
I feel so alone.
I'm in a shadow
chasing big dreams.
No one hears my calls
in the night.
People walk through me.
People walk on me.
Do they think I care?
Do they see me?
For who I am?
I am flying.

Signs from Heaven

Signs from Heaven
tell me it's okay.
It's okay to be with you.
Sometimes I hope for tomorrow..
I feel lost in my own world.
But I know it takes time.
Signs from Heaven
tell me tomorrow will  never come
and each day I live through
is just another step with you.
Sometimes I feel better just even hearing your voice, feeling your touch and just knowing you care.
You'll always be there...
~Signs from Heaven~
