Please, my sweet, don’t look into the sun As it makes us all seem so frighteningly small; Stare straight ahead- The sheets are turned back on the bed, And those voices you hear are just the silly Drunk angels who live upstairs- Don’t pay them any mind. We live in a universe of circles, deep purple Excess of kings and queens held in check by The turning of tides. Darling, quietly bide Your time while I am gone: I’ll hear you Breathing inside my own four walls. You’re sighing In the moonlight, but don’t go crying over a Foolish fool like me. These rolling spheres, They make it back to where they start; we’ll never be Apart, as the soul is not measured in miles. [This message has been edited by Elliott (edited 04-11-2000).] |

And the light in your eyes makes me feel Like there's something much better out there Something kind... And I know someday I might be looking around Trying to find some purpose Well purpose it can't be that hard to find As long as I've got the wind... The wind and your love to carry me. vertical horizon |
