Premium Member Love Be Like Before Song On Cd

What's happened to our love world,
You were mine and I was yours,
What's happened to our love girl,
Why can't love be like brfore,

Yes, you were mine and I was yours,
The love light shined in our love world,
What's happened to the way we were,
To our love girl?

Why can't love be like before,
When you were mine and I was yours,
We had good times in our love world,
Why can't love be like before?

Yes, you were mine and I was yours,
The love light shined for us dear girl,
What's happened to the way were,
To our love world.

When you were mine and I was yours,
The love light shined in our love world,
What's happened to the way we were,
Has happened to our love girl,

Why can't love be like before
When the love light shined for us dear girl,
We had good times in our love world,
Why can't love be like before,

Yes, you were mine and I was yours....
Why can't love be like before.

Yearning For Yellow

Gray buildings 
Gray skies
Gray city
That’s what we see 5 days a week

Our time is spent
In offices
Pushing paper
We’re in need of some relief

The sun is the one
Who should hang in the sky
No more gloominess
Yellow light, hear our cry

We’re Yearning for Yellow 
To shine all around 
Envelope us - surround
Casting its hue like a golden net
To brighten our lives
Let yellow light abound

Rain
Thundering
Dark, black clouds
Will these dreary shadows ever fade? 

We need 
Radiance
Filling us up
For amber light I would surely trade

The sun is the one
Who should hang in the sky
No more gloominess
Yellow light, hear our cry

Luminosity, everything’s revealed
Joy everywhere, no longer concealed

We’re Yearning for Yellow 
To shine all around 
Envelope us - surround
Casting its hue like a golden net
To brighten our lives
Let yellow light abound



For Samil Al-Khalil's "Small Cage Big Bird" contest

Weather

A light breaks upon
A picture, long forgotten
Deep within a room
So, too the memory
Of the one lying inside
This glass covered tomb
The smile that shines
Through those lips
Is for anything but this
Please, not again
Left behind the shadows
Fallen, just before the kiss

Love to the one you call mother
The rest to the one you call father
Never spared one for the other
Won't you come down just a little farther?

Mannequin resemblance reflecting
From this floor of tile
Seems to capture well the feeling
Seeping from a shallow existence
The dimming of light reveals
Plainly the one left, still dancing
Leaning from right to left, steals
The floor, gliding through, aloof

Love to the one you call mother
The rest to the one you call father
Never spared one for the other
Won't you come down just a little farther?
Serving well having perished from apathy
Never to be forgotten again

Left in a world
Where rendered speechless
Is abortion of thought
Absolution of spirit
Intertwines ignorance and dependency
With the idea of change
Left in a world
Where the cries in your head
Are deafened only by the pounding in your chest
Blanketed with the ashes of your heart
Grief subtly heaped upon grief

Love to the one you called mother
The rest to the one you called father
Longing for one if not the other
Not quite yet, just a little farther
Serving well, to free them from their prison cell
Creases and cracks make them seem just a little more real

Darkness

There is a place in every person
In that secret spot, you would find this truth
It shows how much we are truly alike
As members of the human race


We all have something we’re afraid of
We all have something that we fear
And when I wake up in the morning 
I feel my fear is drawing near

Darkness it’s coming closer
Ah the darkness its drawing near
Where is the light to show my way?
Where is the light to drive it away?

Darkness it’s all around us
Ah the darkness its drawing near
But when I met you it was a Son rise
In your eyyyyyes of 

Your dark eyes they’re coming closer
Ah your dark eyes are drawing near
You touched me in the twilight
You loved me through the night of

No more darkness in the morning
No more darkness do I fear
For as I wake up and to my surprise
I find that you’re always here
