    WHEN I THINK OF YOU

    When

    open my heart

    i see your face

    then your smile is lost

    without a trace

    miles apart

    nights bittersweet

    still i try to sweeten our dream to taste

     

    confined by time

    lost in space

    our circle complete 

    yet somehow erased

    our motives undefined

    running in place

    how can we hope to win the race

     

    orbiting the moon

    true  love we chase

    only

    i loose communication with your world

    when i land at tranquility base

    did we learn too much 

    too soon

    at times our discord out of tune

    yet still i sing amazing grace

     

    once lost but now i have found

    life without you is a worthless place

    still i hear reverberate the shattering

    of two  hearts like a priceless vase

    no one cares

    ignoring the sound

    summer  nights once wrapped in lace

    now isloated during winter 

    without your embrace

     

    my emotions abound

    running from gomorra

    then foolishly  i turn right back around

    praying to the father

    what am i to do

    these thoughts i ponder

    when i think of you

     

    can we survive

    another day

    if our love song is now

    the sweetest taboo

    i walk around 

    quite subdued

    how can my heart revive

    if i find the right church

    yet always sit in the wrong pew

     

    a dove once plucked

    an olive branch

    loves purity like his feathers

    pure white in hue

    a second chance

    to love again

    yet storm clouds obscure this destination

    as he flies helplessly above the mew

     

    our  love once the color of tangerine

    you were my ray of sunlight

    dancing  on morning dew

    now i see  a fiend

    in plain view

    bragging about the dove of peace

    he recently slew

     

    driving through the town

    trying to locate  our love lost

    yet inexplicably i turn back around

    walking down my street

    i see a piece of cotton candy gum discarded

    a child refused to chew

    did she not like the taste

    should we continue

    these thoughts i ponder

    when i think of you
