Lyric Man (Dave) You feel him touch your heart and if you look you'll find. Long after he has touched you there his words are on your mind. Sleeping in the shadows where there lives a lovers dream. Like a soft warm rustle or winds ripples cross a stream. Softly like a gentle breeze is how it seems to start. Goose bumps on your skin he's already found your heart. A gift sent down from God above it wasn't his own plan. Emerging from the darkness he became the Lyric Man. Writing songs and lyrics that only lovers hearts can sing. Shining through the shadows with the light that his words bring. Reaching out just like the wind and changing like the tide. Opening doors that once were locked and touching you inside. Leaving tracks upon your soul like a river that once ran. You'll know it's true should he find you you've met the Lyric Man. Edwin C Hofert
