Meditation

My heart is buried in your thoughts today
Though I can't seem to explain it all
I want to help you find your way

Familiar songs cannot make you stay
You don't hear my soft voice call
My heart is buried in your thoughts today

Free your soul, try to escape
The brow of the concrete wall
I want to help you find your way

To find the white behind the grey
Or pray for a new rain to fall
My heart is buried in your thoughts today

Are you lost or quietly hidden away
Curled up tightly in a ball?
I want to help you find your way

Your hopes and dreams are mine today
While you temporarily struggle and crawl
My heart is buried in your thoughts today
I want to help you find your way

Love Escapes Me

Love, you escape me and hide within pain,
Somewhere you stand naked and cold,
Wait for my kiss beneath the pouring rain.

Too elusive and fleeting to try to obtain,
And for the moment I grow old,
Love, you escape me and hide within pain.

My search for brief shelter is in vain,
Caught in a storm with no memory to hold,
Wait for my kiss beneath the pouring rain.

The burden of hope causes such strain,
Impossible to live life as we're told,
Love, you escape me and hide within pain.

Water washes all but one tiny grain
Found in the sands of our soul,
Wait for my kiss beneath the pouring rain.

But I will wait to hear from you again,
Make your voice daring and bold!
Love you escape me and hide within pain,
Wait for my kiss beneath the pouring rain.
