Lost in thought

0 posted 2003-01-18 06:17 PM



Caught in dreams
I’m lost it seems.
I can’t hear my own shout
Anymore

But You hear my cries
As I close my eyes
My knees are planted firmly
On the floor.

I don’t know why,
But You say You love me
Yeah, I know You love me.

And I shed some tears
While thinking of the years.
Confused; but I’m always
In Your hands.

I think I’m alone,
While I search and roam
I seem to focus on all the
Foreign lands.

But I know I’m safe…
And I don’t know why,
But you say you love me,
Yeah I know you love me.

- And so it was that time stood still -
     (blink, breathe, stand, fight)

GG,
Beautifully done, with a charming refrain.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

thank you each for your replies!

And Pat, whoooops ..Word doesn't like my capitalised You's, I must have mistaked it. But it IS supposed to be!  
Ah and my turn in the game, I really don't like murder mysteries... but ah, playing anyway, better hurry!
Glad you enjoyed!  
God's blessings to you, and hugs
Always, Alyssa

wondered if this was going to be patterned after Norah Jones', 'Don't know why' song, but it wasn't. This was good
