Leather And Lace

Use to have dreams of leather and lace
As he watched from her window outside
The view was so clear, with the curtains pulled back
As she slid into warmth of her tide
She would rise and she'd fall, as in shadows he hid
But she knew he was viewing the same
From that cold frosted glass, covered now with a fog
Her dreams may have just been a game.

That man on the hill, whose been watching so long
Desiring, a touching, a feel
Will have lost all he's had when the curtain is drawn
On this scene, when reversing the reel.
Replayed all too often, becoming so worn
The picture in mind has a tear
Although dreams brought whisper words, caught on a breeze
Watching's become harder to bare...

The view from the hill and the one from below
No connections there seem now to be
His watching, her waiting, and neither timed right
Leave an emptiness feeling in she.
Who knows what he's missing, or if he exists
May have been in her mind's eye and false.
For the leather's turned soft and the lace has turned stiff
As they each will encounter their loss.

Am going tonight on a dreamtrip somewhere
Will find a new place, a new scene
Hoping that there will be warmth in the rhyme
And a rhythm of strong walls to lean.
No view on the hill, none watching my moves
Maybe some comfort I'll find,
Knowing that somewhere are dreams to be lived
Sharing those feelings of mine.

hey
isn’t this a song
give me your leather , take from me my lace
or something like that

although this isn’t so song like
it's done good

babes in leather are as sexy as the ones in lace

That Voice, there is much truth in my words...maybe too much:

"No view on the hill, none watching my moves
Maybe some comfort I'll find,
Knowing that somewhere are dreams to be lived
Sharing those feelings of mine."

song or not, I never had a good memory for putting words and titles together

this has a lovely, tender longing

I truly love the flow and feel of it, even if it has a sense of melancholy

Well done!!

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.
