SHIMMERING DREAM

CRYSTAL LUCID LOVER
YOU TOUCH
EMBRACE ME IN MY DREAMS

THOUGH AWAKE
I CANNOT HOLD YOU
ANYMORE THAN I COULD HOLD THE FLOWING WATER OF A STREAM

I'M LOST WHEN YOU ARE NEAR
AS MY WORDS
MY ACTIONS DO BETRAY
HOW ELOQUENCE ESCAPES ME
AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO OR SAY

STILL I WANT YOU LIKE NO OTHER
ELUSIVE VISION
SHIMMERING LIGHT
AND BECAUSE YOU WILL NOT HAVE ME
I'M RESIGNED TO HOPE TO HAVE YOU IN THE NIGHT

WHERE HAVE I BEEN ALL MY LIFE

I looked in life's mirror

and what did I see

someone unfamiliar

staring back at me

now I know what I'm like

and I'm like what I saw

but where have I been all my life

tell me please

scattered memories

offer hints of the past

a whirlwind existence

that blew by too fast

stripping the leaves from my trees

so tell me please

where have I been all my life
