Hero
By: Noah Eaton
5/29/02

Where are you going?
You feel higher than you've ever been
Do you see yourself as the Lady of Shalott?
Caught in your own web of dismay
Trying to twist and turn your way out from the vespertine
Just waiting for that waterlily to bloom
While you're staring down upon the willows of yesterday

I'm no angel
I can't foretell the future by the palm of your hands
I am not perfect, I am still misunderstood
But this I promise you
I will always be loyal to you
You can count on me
I vow whenever, wherever
I will do all I can to be your hero

Where have you been?
Is there a special place you go to plant your dreams?
Do you need someone to help you emerge from your chrysalis?
When you look at your face in the mirror
Do you adorn your eyes with gypsy glass
Let your hair down and fill it with flowers
Like the princess I see you as or do you feel ugly?

I'm no angel
I can't foretell the future by the palm of your hands
I am not perfect, I am still misunderstood
But this I promise you
I will always be loyal to you
You can count on me
I vow whenever, wherever
I will do all I can to be your hero

Do you look at your reflection in the river?
Humming your own Pontchartrain melody
Can you see over the mountains you have long climbed
Sometimes the world can feel so obdurate
I can't blame you but don't blame yourself
Just have a little faith in me
For your true beauty is uncanny to me
I just want to make you happy and to let you see...

I'm no angel
I can't foretell the future by the palm of your hands
I am not perfect, I am still misunderstood
But this I promise you
I will always be loyal to you
You can count on me
I vow whenever, wherever
I will do all I can to be your hero

Where are you going?
Where are you when you're alone?
Where are you going?
Wherever you go, I swear you'll always have my hand
Let me hold your hand...
Let me hold your hand...love

"Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..."

This is wonderful - I especially love the passage above... and "adorn your eyes with gypsy glass" - just marvelous Noah. Great job here. I so enjoyed this!

Hello Noah

A very big congratulations on your 12,000th
post - a marvellous achievement. I have to say that I have been feeling so down today as it is 3 years since the death of my father, but your words brought a smile and a tear. I felt comfort and warmth from your words which really helped me today, thank you.

Take care my friend......Sue

Hi Noah, congrats on such an amazing number.
I love this line
"I can't foretell the future by the palm of your hands"
Isn't that the truth..and if only we could.

Noah you write so good...thinking of the Beatles song from the sixties or seventies..."I want to hold your hand".
