THE LONELY MIND Love keeps taking off and landing on the winds of chance that blow How much good time it can leave Lord I'll never know. Just when you think you've captured it you find yourself alone With a gaping hole to fill where love once made it's home. (Chorus) Why do lovesick fantasies seem to fade toward hurt Why do some say reality will change better into worse What is worth fighting for in this short lifetime if there's no love that works to heal the lonely mind Love keeps circling and finding victims everywhere. A thrill that drills into souls of lovers unaware. When you think you're on a trip you miss the thoroughfare and the love you were happy with crashes in despair. Love lies outside understanding offering a prize. Where the heart is too demanding and there's none too wise. Then when you try to escape it, it's bigger than your eyes. You'll find yourself start to slip right into paradise (Chorus) Why do lovesick fantasies seem to fade toward hurt Why do some say reality will change better into worse What is worth fighting for in this short lifetime if there's no love that works to heal the lonely mind Ain't doin nothin at all |

Eric, this is a wonderful write. I think, unless we learn to love unconditionally, no one will ever do. When we love without expectation only then can we truly say we LOVE. But our little hungry hearts always want confirmation and so we rise high in ecstasy and risk to fall badly and hurt. Still it's worth LOVING. Thank you. Love, Margherita  |

Have sung this song dear Eric... Enjoyed your write for all that it is... And think that we forget as we wander that the plan was not of our making, and the learning is there for our giving and taking. Always great to read you. TD |
