Beauty never slumbers;
All is in her name;
But the rose remembers
The dust from which it came.

Floating, falling, sweet intoxication
Touch me, trust me, savour each sensation.
Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in.

And we laughed, at the world.
They can have their diamonds,
And we'll have our pearls.

Living is easy with eyes closed
Misunderstand all you see
It's getting hard to be someone but it all works out

Secrets and heartaches must carry the load;
the heart of the thing is the thing we don't know.

You wake up in the middle of the night
Your sheets are wet and your face is white,
You tried to make a good thing last,
How could something so good, go bad, so fast.

You may never understand
How the stranger is inspired
For he is always evil,
And he is not always wrong. . .

Justice to the left of you
Justice to the right
Speak when you are spoken to
Don't pretend you're right
This life's not for living
It's for fighting and for wars
No matter what the truth is
Hold on to what is yours.

You can see the summit, but you can't reach it
It's the last piece of the puzzle, but you just can't make it fit
Doctor says you're cured, but you still feel the pain
Aspirations in the clouds, but your hopes go down the drain.
And you want her and she wants you
We want everyone
And you want her and she wants you
No one, no one, no one ever is to blame.

No one else could ever be
The special things you are to me.
Or fill my days, my heart,
My world so very happily.
No one else could comfort me
With just a look or a touch,
Or make me laugh and help me
To enjoy life half as much.
No one else could be for me
The special and perfect blend
Of a warm and exciting lover,
And a gentle and caring friend.
No one else could understand
And know me like you do.
No one else could be my love -
No one else but you. . .

The years keep coming and going.
Men will arrive and depart,
Only one thing is immortal,
The love that is in my heart.

Doubt that the stars are fine,
Doubt that the sun doth move,
Doubt truth to be a liar,
But never doubt I love.

If of all words of tongue and pen,
The saddest are, "It might have been,"
More sad are these we daily see:
"It is, but hadn't ought to be."

Don't stand beside my grave and weep,
For I'm not there, I do not sleep,
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond's glint on snow,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn's rain.
When you awaken in morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush,
of quiet birds in circle flight,
I am soft stars that shine at night,
Don't stand beside my grave and cry,
I am not there. I did not die.

I could love you
as dry roots love rain;
I could hold you as branches in the wind
brandish petals.
Forgive me for speaking so soon.
Let your heart look upon white sea spray
and be lonely.
Love is a fool star.
You and a ring of stars
can mention my name and forget me.
Love is a fool star.

They who are near me do not know that
you are nearer to me than they are. . .
Those who speak to me do not know that
my heart is full with your unspoken words. . .
Those who crowd in my path do not
know that I am walking alone with you . . .
They who love me do not know that
their love brings you to my heart. . .

I'm sorry I can't go any further with you
And tonight may be a night I'll regret.
But I'm already somebody's lover,
He just hasn't found me yet.
