Wait By the Water

Wait by the Water
Wait by the water
Don’t take the pathway home
It’s not much farther
Than you can bear to go
Tonight, an end in sight
So wait by the water
Don’t take the pathway home
You lost a father
I lost my favorite son
Rallied much longer
Than thought by anyone
I know you had to go
But I wanted longer
You were my chosen one
Here, just stay right here
Don’t hide your eyes
I want to see you understand me
I am by your side
Stay next to mine
Stay on the ride
I find you waiting
Here in a midnight dream
No longer aching
No longer distancing from me
Both of us free
So I hold you near me
If only in this dream

Tears That Know Your Name
One day I will trust myself
This place I know too well
These tears that know your name
These fears of never being the same
I tried, God knows I did
I lied to myself about this
Those years are never coming back
These tears are all I will ever have
Just give me strength to move
I’ll do what I can to make it through
I’ll live without you here
When the dark clouds clear
There will be you
I see you everywhere
I turn but no one is ever there
These nights are the hardest part
These lights are never bright enough
I hope you understand
I know I did everything I could
But in the end time always wins
So I must not give in

It Hits Too Close
Blood stains keep the wish down
My demons have turned this smile to a frown
I see you with your artist's soul
Forget the thought of losing control
It hits too close
Gotta crawl up in a flower
Like she said to
But my heart charges by the hour
Keep your own feelings, I'll keep mine
I'm afraid of this setting free my insides
Hold me back from this one
Stop me, I'm holding the gun
That can wound my foolish notions
That maybe I won't feel these emotions
It hits too close
Gotta stop it at the door
Like she said to
But I think I want some more
Keep your own saviors, I'll keep dying
I'm afraid of this, I wasn't even trying

Too Soon

Gone too soon
In the month of June
July was already filled with black
Now you're that
And all the time
It was hiding in plain sight
I never could have known
How soon you would go
Off you go
Off you go to the moon
Your brother too
I'll wave to you
Blow kisses to both of you
It was too soon
Way too soon
I'm angry at the moon
I'm angry with the moon
Taking you both too soon
You're far away
But your light remains

Horses Are Waiting

Watching the stars now, I think of you
The moon says to see you in your place
You deserve more than what I could ever be
I fear night will take you away from me
You've given me so much already
Gotta tell you I feel kind of happy
In summer I know you'll have to go
And you will leave me all alone
But I trust you, I know you
It's clear that I love you
I need you, I feel you, I see you
Shine on, your light has warmed me
Climb on, you've taken the hurt in me
Ride on, your horses are waiting
Fly on, my demons are leaving
Rain has reminded me of yesterday
When I told me I'd never feel this way
You've smashed all my plans for the future
So tell me is it really not gonna shatter?
