sometimes I pray for a turn of the page
when you open up chapters you've lived
I hear small voices surface their rage
I know you're still not over him.

I know the feelings had them myself
but you'll have to give'em up sometime.
someone hurt you they hurt as well
but you've gotta leave the pain behind

chorus:
I know breaking up has left you weak
your heart on a limb in a forest of needs
but if you look through branches of hope
you'll see me I'll throw you a rope
I'll pull you to a place next to me
Give you love in that forest of needs.

if you're not in love you know how it's goes
I won't deny the past can be harsh
but I'm not afraid to challenge your soul
cause there's another start in every heart

if I can revive the love that you hide
I know your faith'll warm up again.
but I'm not beyond the truth in time
if it hurts me I'll understand.

chorus:
I know breaking up has left you weak
your heart on a limb in a forest of needs
but if you look through branches of hope
you'll see me I'll throw you a rope
I'll pull you to a place next to me
Give you love in that forest of needs.

I'll get behind the hope in your mind
and I'll let you put me to the test,
cause I'm way beyond a mere compromise
and I'm spendin time with interest

Sometimes I feel that caution's untrue
sometimes I feel that I should rush in.
But I know it's a game I could lose
cause I'm nothing like the other man.

chorus:
I know breaking up has left you weak
your heart on a limb in a forest of needs
but if you look through branches of hope
you'll see me I'll throw you a rope
I'll pull you to a place next to me
Give you love in that forest of needs.

Welcome back, dear Eric! You have been missed. Your song is very beautiful and deeply sensitive. I think many can relate to the feelings you express here so lovingly.

Love,

You've been away too, too long...
but for a song like this,
well, perhaps it was worth it.

I would love to hear this, Eric.

Any links to doing so?

Eric! Where in the blue blazes have you been?!?
Well, all is forgiven with this tender offering! I would love to hear the melody! ~ and perhaps your voice singing it!

"chorus:

but if you look through branches of hope
you'll see me I'll throw you a rope
I'll pull you to a place next to me

~ Play it again, Sam! lol

Giving you a big, warm, welcome-back hug,

Linda
