Lovers come and love, he’s gone
Wasn’t the sort to hang hopes on
Lovers’ love, I cannot commend
But love, I’d welcome you as my friend
Lovers come and love, he’s gone
Wasn’t the sort to hang hopes on
Lovers’ love, I cannot commend
But love, I’d welcome you as my friend
The tempo of my thoughts slow down
In your good company
As I come to be with you,
I also come to be
The longest day
That I’ve befriended
Began the moment
Our friendship ended
We lived in every colour
The full spectrum of ourselves
Still now, when I see roses
Yellow are for no one else
When I have fear you may cease to be,
I write the words you’ve given me
I hold them tight inside my heart
I tell myself, this is a start
I feel the fear flow through my veins
I let my love transfuse the pain
When I have fear you will be gone,
I take your words, and I hold on
I’ll write a song called You & Me
Set to the simplest melody
Back beat that puts your mind at ease
I’ll let the words come as they please
And, if you give me the chance,
We’ll sway in time to our romance
I’ll write a song called Signal Hill
The Atlantic Ocean, I’ll distill
I’ll weave the waves into a sound
As though they never weighed a pound
And with a note, without a doubt,
I’ll breathe it in, and breathe you out
He thinks of her when the sun shines brightest
Somehow, she will know
To close her eyes and meet a moment
In the orange glow
It was this morning
That it dawned
We are right
And we are wrong
The same waves
Just one beat off
When I peak
You are at trough
When I pause
You pick up pace
As I strike out
You save your face
So little given
Costs a fee
Dolus ipsum
Vertuti
I never dreamt of kissing you
Or lingered on your touch
I never thought when you stay home
That I’d miss you, as such
But I’ve been writing in the dark
And I’ve been dreaming in the light
I’ve been thinking all the wrongs of love
Could somehow make a right
I’ve been spending my time scribbling
Lines of goofy poetry
You’ve been standing right here humming
Me a tune that’s in my key
I’ve been living off the fake stuff
For so long I may not know
What the real thing’s gonna taste like
So I’m gonna take this slow
I’ve been sleeping with the moon
I’ve been staring at the sun
I’ve been thinking lovers’ hardships
Were how lovers’ hearts are won
And if we never get that kiss
We never plant this seed
I’m grateful you showed me the way
And for your company
