For My Daughter Sami


I Thought I Did

It seems these days I'm sharing you with memories
Of days that once had a place to remain
Nothing gentle to hold onto we take what we're handed
So, quickly I gathered what's left of this bitter rain...

I move on in direction of sane not really sure which way that is
Just to catch myself reliving the truth I've always known
I thought I prayed with the mighty winds at my side
I thought I did, hard enough, that I wouldn't have to let you go...

Grace doesn't sing to me anymore beneath the skies of that sun
Laughter doesn't encirlce me in it's dance for great strength
I thought I whispered loud enough how much I love you
I thought I did when we were in the middle of the end...

Just if I could wake from this dream of a moment still seen
Stand on hope when waters from the skies are about to give
I thought I held you, long enough, in my arms
Oh, God, I swear, I thought I did...

The last look from your eyes at the end of the day
Left me in the Lord please help me kind of way
Through it all I searched for a little peace to find
As I thought I did glance as you looked that second time...

I could have sworn the heavens saw us there
About to send pieces of harmony everywhere
I thought I heard you say you love me too in that empty moment we lived
Oh, God, I really thought you did...



Sauni The Only Time I See The Sun Is When I'm Within That Vanilla Breeze.The Only Time I'm One With The Sun Is When He Shelters Me From The Rain. L.S
