The One At a time of dreamless America, I went on dreaming anyway but I never really captured the feeling until the day... You walked in and we talked... and we talked in wounded phrases through all these moon phases I spilled out how I felt for you in song I never knew this would go on so long, yeah I was just dreaming again, oh for the phantom far-off time when your heart would become a part of mine Ten years, ten years down, and I wonder how, just how many to go, until we know, well, it seems we're destined to be together holding this thing together, apart through dark weather and broken hearts a love not spoken aloud hiding away in all this fear and doubt oh but the words springing out of my heart you have influenced, inspired from the very start. The very first to read the lines, the only soul to know my mind, inside and out all I can't do without, defined by the shape of your presence shake off the useless pretense, say all that you are measure the distance, you're so very far oh but you're closer to me than anyone could ever be. And tonight as I lay awake, in sleepy, dreaming America, I am spilling again my torn heart wide open upon these pages like I have done, long since the day we met and I found out you were the one oh you are the one... you will always be the one. "Negotiations & love songs are often mistaken for one and the same."--Paul Simon |

This needs to be put to music. Has it been? It's a song worth singing and listening to. Alison |
