About Love
Page 2
Beautiful thoughts like moonbeams
Trickle through the trees
Pledges to your lover
Far away
I pretend they are for me
Tonight
I give them a face
And a manner of speech
And pretend they are for me
Tonight
I�m far from home
And sitting alone
With the sounds of the forest
Around me
So let me pretend that you�re here
Tonight�
You are a rose
Pressed in a book
And in the hour of witches
I open it and there you are
In the petals brown and withered
I smell your fragrance now as then
You in your garden and I looking on
And the air was cool
The light filtering through the trees
I close it now
That book and the rose of you
And smile as I did
When the rose was new�..
.
An Irish wind is blowing
Over a blackened Irish sea
And walking along the chilly surf
Reflections of me I see
Pools of dark and pools of light
Moonlight glowing through me
Transparent ghost of ages past
An empty heart subdues me
I miss you as I miss my fire
My embers slowly dying
But know that I still hear your voice
Know your whispers and your sighing
An Irish wind is blowing
And it chills me to the bone
I will look my one last look
And then I will head for home�
I�ll stoke the fire
With rowan wood
I�ll have my cup of tea
My memory will touch your lovely lips
And what they meant to me.
Come back my love
Come back to me
My heart is growing colder
Time wears away my picture book
I need your steady shoulder
Let me wrap your love around me dear
Against this raging angry wind
Let me sleep in the warmth of your lovely mouth
So tomorrow I can begin again.
I found your soul today
As it passed through mine
And you lingered there a bit
Before you went to work.
I found your smile on my lips
As we traveled down that country lane
Was it for those flowers
All red and white and orange?
Or the breezes brushing my face
As the trees did their hula dances?
I felt your soul today
And I touched it with mine
And we lingered there a bit
Before you went to work.
I felt your warm breath on my neck
As we named the clouds of the heavens
Was it really a devil to you
All horns and arms extended?
And the old man and his beard �
Did you see his dog?
I kissed your soul today
As you kissed mine
As we lingered there a bit
Before you went to work
And I went back to mine.
