I write these long folk songs because that's what comes out.....So I write what I feel...Rules don't work for me...but I do try to keep it musical I put my trust in future days When I was young and needed faith To face the dreams young men inspire Searching for their heart's desire The shades of love I never knew Were hidden from my point of view. While fantasies prepared my soul For every pleasure lovers know. (sung higher like a chorus) And now the truth has come to fall Upon those dreams of protocol With mortgages and new car loans and lovers never found at home. I call to say I'm working late your message says I'll have to wait For future days without the haste. A blue-eyed girl and winning smile You captured me with grace and style And there I was in love with you With promises and phantom truth And you became my romance queen I fulfilled your knightly needs With a guarantee of loyalty And no question of our destiny. (sung higher like a chorus) Now it all comes down to time and place And the truth of love all have to face Where passion greets integrity With uncertain strains of quality And bills are paid with numbered ease In future days where lovers meet. (INSTRUMENTAL) Now those of us who played the game And realized the pain of change Never knew when we were young The curtain call would never come Seems long ago and far away When all the promises were made And dreams they gave away for free Dissolved into reality. (sung higher like a chorus) But we're still here and we still care We treat ourselves when we dare We find ourselves alone sometimes Repenting for the loss of time But then I hold you close to me And say c'mon n dance with me There's future days for you and me. Rep: Future days for you and me..... IF YOU HAVE TO JUDGE SOMEONE DO IT ON THE SIDE OF MERCY AND LET TIME SEASON THE RESULTS. |

I enjoyed this tremendously - pretty much an in-depth look at life too with a lovely ending. Oh, and best to stay away from rules because we, the readers, might miss out on too much. Thank you for the music ... Helen |

ah, the dreams that youth inspire and the reality that tempers such inspire both, different steps of the same dance |
