Sweet as apple crumble
The wren and the robin, heads a bobbin, squabbling over fallen sunflower seed
Each his need
The bigger they are, the...

Not the dreams you see while you are asleep 
But the ones which you imagine often 
To make it more clear your day dreams
You really don't...

I have seen you flash by
Amidst thick green foliage and swaying pines
Like a distant silver dream
On receding skyline
But was never satisfied
For a close encounter I craved

I did then go up
The Space Needle in Seattle

No more smiles,
Since you left,
Too many miles,
To walk alone,
My breathing is heavy,
I fight back a groan,

At the end of the love we...

My heart...can you find it?
I can't feel it in my chest
Ever since the emotional hit
Leaving me months of unrest
