Shaking the Past
I've tried to claim immunity
from feelings deep inside
to face life with impunity
so from these feelings hide
But man's not meant to be alone
Just to himself be tied
Each lonely day that man is shown
His emptiness inside
You told me that you cared for me
I feared of course you lied
For in me lies the memory
Of other loves that died
So cautiously I'll play my hand
And cautious time I'll bide
For it's difficult to take a stand
When so many times I've tried
But it must be time to shake the past
Just put my fears aside
I'll grasp these feelings while they last
And join them for the ride
Come join me in my travels
Through love's abyss we'll glide
And while my heart unravels
Let your love be my guide
