The waves wash over me
Whispers in my ear
Haunting melody
A song I’ve come to fear
Pulls me down below
Drowns me in its tears
Tells me where to go
But I remain right here

And my soul cries out in pain
Grips me endlessly
The darkness comes with rain
Comes to carry me
And I would fall from grace
If they would let me be
In the waves I see your face
Looking back at me

yep, always felt the depths of this cadence kissed gem.

"And I would fall from grace
If they would let me be"

always loved that line ...
we're all just looking for a soft place to fall.
beautiful emotive piece PK.

oh you speak to me in riddles
and you speak to me in rhymes
my body aches to breathe your breath
your words keep me alive

Haunting indeed, my friend.   Oh those echos of the past..........You leave me only to wonder "Do you ever write anything bad???"
