Letting Go
 |
Friends are nice but it's simply a place to which I decline to be relegated.
The "friend zone" is merely a respite for those simple enough to accept it all and I'm far too old to ever go there again. Perhaps two score back in time feasibility may have rang true.
So those bachelor days remain and though I'm satisfied with them it's disappointing that I simply am not good enough yet again.
However, when you reach a certain age you learn to take hold of reality with a firmness and finality those younger simply cannot grasp in all their hopes and dreams for the future.
Here I am yet again. This time to stay.
Alone
I was a midnight rider on a cloud of smoke
I could make a woman hang on every single stroke
I was an iron man
I had a master plan
But I was alone
I could hear you breathing
With a sigh of the wind
I remember how your body started trembling
Oh, what's a night it's been
And for the state I'm in
I'm still alone
And all the wonders made for the Earth
And all the hearts in all creation
Somehow I always end up alone
Always end up alone
So I play, I'll wait
Cause you know that love takes time
We came so far
Just the beat of a lonely heart
And it's mine
I don't want to be alone
Well, since I got no message on your answer phone
And since you're busy every minute
I just stay at home
I make believe you care
I feel you everywhere
But I'm still alone
I'm on a wheel of fortune with a twist of fate
Cause I know it isn't heaven, is it love or hate
Am I the subject of the pain
Am I the stranger in the rain
I am alone
And if there glory there to behold
Maybe it's my imagination
Another story there to be told
So I play, I'll wait
And I pray it's not too late
We came so far
Just a beat of a lonely heart
And it's mine
I don't want to be alone
And all the wonders made for the Earth
And all the hearts in all creation
Another story there to be told
So I play, I'll wait
And I pray it's not too late
We came so far
Just a beat of a lonely heart
And it's mine
I don't want to be alone
Gone, but not out of sight
Im caught in the rain and there's no one home
Face the heat of the night
The one that you loves got a heart that's made of stone
Shine and search for the light
And sooner or later you'll be cruising on your ocean
And clean out of sight
I'm caught in the rain and there's no one home
