Caroline, you know it's true that I love you with all my heart.
Though you're gone and away from me I still feel that we haven't part.
Your voice is still in my head. You come to me in the dreams of my bed
and I know your father gave you those sad eyes
It's not your fault, Caroline.
I'll keep my blood in my veins, in-between the barriers of my skin.
Where it remains, where it should always remain. Calm and sane is my blood with you in my heart.
I hear it's cold between heaven and earth from what my grandfathers mother said to him
I hope one day I'll be there myself and make it all the way to hear those bells
with you in my heart.
Tell me if I'm doing fine.
Tell me if I'm doing right.
Because my heart belongs to you.

Free Indeed.

A wind that whispers spoke to me and convinced my heart that I need to go east.
You be patient, young but old soul. You'll be there soon like the old man told you so. The hillside, it's calling. No other coast line is for me.
I built us a boat for the mornings at sea. Caffeine and kisses is all a man really needs.
Graceful is the night with the piano upright and a storm outside but cloudless in our eyes.
It's high tide, let's move onward. It's now time for supper.

Home

Home in the pouring rain watching our snow melt.
Down by the market place little ones grow out of woolen sweaters made from their mothers for these days. Oh love, don't be afraid of a world full of hate.
Don't you run away from His love, His hungry name
all that light, won't you comb our ways. Comb out roots to our after stay
oh my child, don't have a ill faith. I know you struggle within these days. Oh love, don't be afraid of a world full of hate.

My Heart, it Screams.

The orange zest crawls in my mouth, these images they want to bleed out.
My ears bleed as well and my fingers shout your name.
What do you want me to do for you?
My eyes cry out and my heart it screams.
My eyes dry out by my heart still screams
for You.
I am a deer and you the moon.
I've asked You before to take me soon,
but I've changed my mind, I can't stop looking a You
I've changed my mind
I swear my blood is new for You.
for You.

Like a Bird

Stranger, come back to me.
It's been to long since I've rode along the sea of your heart.
You've known me forever. You've given me a feather of your own.
You can come back to me and you take everything I've ever known.
And I will call you like a bird. And I will call you, know I'm heard.
Wired and tired and twisted in meyer, skeptic and restless, doubtful then doubtless. I'm waiting on your call, the one that would bring me home.
Melancholy calling is the world without you. A shadow lingering and longing upon the shore of our youth. And we're not dying without contention but drowning in our own solitude. Pour the river in our lungs to wash away the abuse.
I will call you like a bird.
I will call you, know I'm heard.
