When I wake to the crowing Echoes in my brain I start myself to the going Beginning once again The dreams I am leaving Begs me to remain The day moves to take me Grasp to all the same The ring of keys won’t free me From imaginary chains As I sip down my morning coffee I try to wake my brain. Here I am, in the real again, Here I am, part of it all, Here I am, I can feel again Here I am, yet dreams still call. I hear her call oh so softly Whispering my name, As if she could touch so gently Inside my sleepy brain, But shaking my head so sadly Cause it’s here I must remain. Here I am, in the real again, Here I am, part of it all, Here I am, I can feel again Here I am, yet dreams still call. Sometimes she’s there beside me Sometimes she’s far away, She’s a three reel movie And I’m a one act play But I struggle with reality For just another day. Here I am, in the real again, Here I am, part of it all, Here I am, I can feel again Here I am, yet dreams still call. As I make my simple dinner Just some broth and some bread, No conversation to enter I wait to go to bed No reason for me to linger There nothing to be said. As I pull the down the shade so tight Block the last of day Then curtains make it seem like night It time to drift away I turn off the remaining light And hope for dark to stay Here I am, leaving real again, Here I am, gone from it all, Here I am, I can’t feel again Here I am, now dreams will call.

It's rare we get a long poem, let alone a love song, from your pen... so I quietly deem this, my friend, a  Thank you. [This message has been edited by Sunshine (04-21-2003 10:40 AM).] |

Thank you, Sunshine, It’s only so long because of the chorus, And the fact it is about an entire day. I am pleased you enjoyed it. Gloom |
