Inner voices sound disturbed
Inner voices sound disturbed
Behave yourself sent via thoughts
Sleep has deserted me, so confused
Time to visit long ago scenes
Find my friends of time gone by
I find myself on the pathway of ocean views
Crashing waves and sea gull calls greet me
No one around to view my crazy antics
Facing the ocean, arms open wide, calling out names
A voice I knew well, echoed, from where?
My name was being called, tried to dismiss
Inner voices giving advice, my name once more
Too much to bear for my weary soul
I fall to my knees arms still open wide
Hope that no one views this scene
Tears form as memories flow by
I shudder as warm arms enfold me from behind
A perfume I recognised from years gone by
Where have you been my friend my lover?
Tears now flow as I realise this is not a dream
I stand and turn, those eyes, lost in their depth
I am lost for words as I stare
The warmth of a hug, a kiss on my lips
I heard through the grapevine you had returned
The voice of an angel that always soothed my anger within
Tears and laughter at this encounter
Lovers once more as the hugs continued
So much to tell, I babbled on
Her smile, as she listened to travel stories
We walked the cliff top path back to our village
Our favourite café, coffee is calling
Sitting chatting, holding hands
My inner voices does not understand
Laughter and applause, what is going on?
Our friends had gathered, the word had spread
This gang of old have a day of stories ahead
Inner voice gives advice I understand
Eyes that allow us to investigate another’s soul
Hold this girl and never ever let her go.
