Somewhere in the night Someone will cry Waiting for love to die Neon lights won’t illuminate Darkened streets where aimless souls, Masses of flesh await Filling little vacant holes They won’t hesitate Shiny diamonds of dirty glass Sparkle once and once only Fading in twilight fast A little lost and lonely, But too bright to last So much given away too soon Can never be retrieved Where once begged for highest noon, Now all are grieved With a fainting swoon Somewhere in the night Someone did cry Waiting for love to die |

Can you say my name in French(smile). excellent jer, and always worth the wait.  stalking you while swooning, your jm Well the sun sets gently on your shoulders And it makes me want to touch you there. And the light in your eyes makes me feel Like there's something much better out there Something kind... And I know someday I might be looking around Trying to find some purpose Well purpose it can't be that hard to find As long as I've got the wind... The wind and your love to carry me. vertical horizon |

awesome. Liked the way this has that "beat" style to it, ala the 1960's. Corinne |
