LOVER'S LAMENT

A LOVER’S LAMENT   I’m half, half, Half in love with reality, And half alive in a dream   Dance me a daydream Moon me a moment A moment out of time   Sing me some starlight Brighten the dark night To drive this dubiety away   So croon me a chronicle Fable a fantasy Fantasize me in the tale   And mix me some maybes Purloin some possibles Secure me a certain or two   I’m half, half, Half alive in reality And half in love in a dream

LOVERS' LULLABY

And when I remember how good your love feels
The real world goes slipping away
And though it’s just dreaming I make your love true
And I trade in this real world for one dream of you

I go to a clearing in a wood that we shared
When the real world pulls us apart
Though I can’t hold your hand, and I can’t kiss you there
I would die in this real world to live in your heart

And though o’er simple is there anything else?
Sometimes I awaken to question myself
Oh .. what fools, what children, to follow the heart
For a dream that might last just one night

But something that doesn’t speak English says “Do”
And I’d trade in this real world for one night with you

And something with wings and speaks only in blues
Tells me trade in this real world for one night with you …..
