Moon, Star, Paradise and Power

You took me to paradise
And sat beside
You knew things anybody would ever know
But you never asked for anything though

And then I realise
That's all I ever wanted
But you're not the one
Who could be taken for granted

Dreaming at night
Screaming during fight
Flying like a kite
I wish you were any good at holding things right

Singing in the car
Dancing in the shower
Drinking at the bar
And realising we've come too far

You offered me the moon and stars
Driving through the alleys felt so bizzare
But I realised I like things the way they are
All you ever wanted was hands full of power!!!

Hi IG.. Good morning. I'm in the mountains with my dog (Bo) this morning. Sipping on your wonderful write and a hot cup of Joe. Nature is waking up and you're bringing a delight to my senses!
