Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box, they tumble blindly as they make their way across the universe.

Limitless undying love which shines around me like a million suns, it calls me on and on across the universe.

Was she told when she was young that pain would lead to pleasure?

Your day breaks, your mind aches
You find that all the words of kindness linger on
When she no longer needs you

She wakes up, she makes up
She takes her time and doesn't feel she has to hurry
She no longer needs you

You want her, you need her
And yet you don't believe her when she said her love is dead
You think she needs you

You stay home, she goes out
She says that long ago she knew someone but now he's gone
She doesn't need him

Your day breaks, your mind aches
There will be time when all the things she said will fil your head
You won't forget her

And in her eyes you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears
Cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years!


And so it's true, pride comes before a fall
I'm telling you so that you won't lose all


When I cannot sing my heart I can only speak my mind

Right you are! That is why I said somewhere here that "Across the Universe" best describes my life. The "Pools of sorrow..." like just does it for me.

PHONY’S


Don’t claim that your brave, when your full of fear
Don’t act like a worrywart, if you really don’t care
Don’t pretend to enjoy a crowded atmosphere
And go in the corner and play solitaire

Don’t put on a laugh, when inside your cryin’
Don’t make a statement, you might later be denying
Don’t say it’s your best, when you’re not trying
Don’t purr like a cat and roar like a lion

You’ve gotta be yourself, don’t be a phony
Don’t be led around, like a small pony
If you’re yourself, you’ll be honest and true
Than people will respect you in whatever you do


Don’t go twisting the truth with self-made lies
Don’t start making excuses and crazy alibis
Don’t put on a mask and wear a disguise
Don’t walk in the shoes that aren’t your size

Don’t be a sore loser, if you don’t always win
Before you can finish, you have to begin
You must be confident before you jump in
Don’t go overboard, if you can’t swim


There are things you can do, things that you can’t
Don’t get the feeling, that your superman
Just be who you are, that’s no great a task
And they’ll be nothing impossible people will ask
