Eyes that see through me And hands of human clay Ears that hold my plea And mouth upon I pray These are the things I entreat Inside my mind, if not portray I’m waiting for the light to show Waiting, for the afterglow Make me whole and entire With warmth and arms around Making our own little fire Listen to the peaceful sound This, my life, you inspire For this, I won’t come back down I’m waiting for the love to grow Waiting, for the afterglow Don’t let me fall from so high And only these things, bring So that I forget how it was to cry And the pendulum starts to swing Look only into my colorless eyes They only mean everything I’m waiting for time to overthrow Waiting, for the afterglow [This message has been edited by JML (edited 03-22-2000).] |

Eyes that see through me And hands of human clay Ears that hold my plea And mouth upon I pray These are the things I entreat Inside my mind, if not portray I’m waiting for the light to show Waiting, for the afterglow ------------- Make me whole and entire With warmth and arms around Making our own little fire Listen to the peaceful sound This, my life, you inspire For this, I won’t come back down -------------- they say timing is everything...and yours my poetic partner is impeccable... how many times today can you take my words and breath away...lets see so far I count 3...  but the day is still young *S*... the beauty of these words leaves me in awe, in contentment, and in your debt...and most of all inspired... thank you stalking you always, your jm and you can say baby... baby can I hold you tonight maybe if told you the right words... at the right time, you'd be mine... baby can I hold you tonight... tracy chapman |

Don’t let me fall from so high And only these things, bring So that I forget how it was to cry And the pendulum starts to swing Look only into my colorless eyes They only mean everything I’m waiting for time to overthrow Waiting, for the afterglow -------------------------- *sigh* somethings are so much sweeter the second time around...(smile) stalking you all night...with delight... your jm and you can say baby... baby can I hold you tonight maybe if told you the right words... at the right time, you'd be mine... baby can I hold you tonight... tracy chapman |
