Come good fortune
Let me love tonight Pardon me from soulless searching Spare me for another with a see-through heart A heart as empty as my hands to be full Let me love tonight Come good fortune Let me feel her skin Don't deny for which I've hungered Let me taste her mouth only slightly parted With lips as full as mine have been denied Let me love tonight Come good fortune Let me say goodbye With no remorse Thoughtless, callous As lovely as she was she'll remain obscured By the morning sun But fortune come 'fore the day is done Let me love tonight |

When was I supposed to make my entrance
How was I to know I had a chance Now here's a guy who really thought he had it all My heart was holding up the wall so I could dance The last of my romances has concluded Wars I've lost and loved have thus been fair The battle scars I've gained have all alluded To a decorated soldier of despair Baby I just had to see you Your face, your smile Baby I just had to see you Just for a while I ran from love to love and lied with laughter Not knowing that at some point I'd collide With someone who would be my ever after And happily would stay here by my side Baby I just had to see you Your face, your smile Baby I just had to see you Just for a while |

If we borrow words
They'll have to be returned Keeping them would surely be remiss The stars have acquiesced By giving us this night Let's just kiss Intellect and thought Are good enough for some Why waste time with all there is to miss In our quiet space We'll babysit the moon Let's just kiss Nothing to erase As the hour slows Nothing to be judged or tried untrue Handed us a case What a case to close It could take all night before we do We won't have to try Somehow we'll just know A thousand years before us led to this When we're finally through We'll usher in the sun Let's just kiss |

Pieces of a hole
Unrequited, not renowned Never sought and never found Through blood Through soul Now unfamiliar Feelings of good being Are light that's not worth seeing Through blood Through soul Restless and distorted Thoughts that underscore my night Being wrong and seeing right Through blood Through soul Heart beyond repair All the edges worn and frayed Magnifying love betrayed Through blood Through soul |

Once
Is all I'll need to show you Love making is an art But once-made love Won't be nearly enough Once I win your heart Once Upon a timeless romance Love often was denied But a thousand knights Couldn't take me away Once I'm at your side The world gets bigger as you look behind Pouring in when you leave You'll miss where you're going if you stare I hope you're next to me Watching it all go by You'd get lost in all that world Once Just comes once in a lifetime Then it becomes ago All I ask is to kiss your lips Once And then you'll know Once And then you'll know |

Lovers are dreamers and I've been walking in my sleep
When I awake I'll never take a chance that I can't keep A thousand first times never add up to last And I've been told a heart of gold melts away too fast But I didn't count on you Running into me No I didn't count on you I could learn to love you I could get used to this I could learn to love you And the shelter of your kiss The day's not as hard as trying to go through it alone And in the end you can't depend on any love But your own Sometimes the impossible shows up undeclared That's when the impossible Shows you that it's possible Maybe even beautiful To double what you've dared But I didn't count on you Running into me No I didn't count on you I could learn to love you I could get used to this I could learn to love you And the shelter of your kiss |

The sky's blowin' on me
Pourin' water on my head He ain't stoppin' soon Black children hidin' me from light White ones tryin' to kill me So kill me I love me some you Can't seem to get my step Walkin' in someone else's shoes Too big for my feet Just as soon wear none at all Might cut my skin on the concrete Cut me I love me some you I can make it through the night But can I make it to the night Somethin' ain't right with me Can't figure what it is Justify my way My one side messin' with my head My other side tryin' to leave me Don't leave me I love me some you |

Next to the highway -- a noisy place
Will anyone ever want me Tiny place next to the highway Could anyone ever want me I don't have a car My job pays poor So much love in my heart Looks as if I may have lost my allure But I've got much love in my heart My appetite for love's voracious Will anyone entertain me It's no wonder my bed seems spacious Could anyone entertain me Is it possible For two of us To have much love in our hearts How it would be Fortuitous To find that much love in a heart The heat of winter's chill on my face Burning that's deep in my chest It's cold and familiar in second place Knowing I've done my best The certain cause for my ambition To dress an unyielding sadness Flirting with an absent addition To simmer away my madness The curb that I climb Is much too steep To carry that heavy a heart I'll stay where I stand And just try to keep Love in that heavy a heart Away from the highway -- a quiet place Will I ever find my true love Majestic and far from the highway Could I have had my last love I ride in a plane My job pays high Still so much love in my heart At least I'll be sure of my place in the sky With all this love in my heart |

There's a winding crack
Moving through my windshield Like a vein in my head The faster I go The faster it winds I'll get off the road When my heart explodes But not till then I'm in love again Given circumstance I'm bounded by commitment The whole way around I usually know when I get to the end As sure as I stand The hour hand Has stopped at ten I'm in love again There's an old blue shirt Hanging in my closet It's a favorite of mine One day I looked and it just wasn't there Now there's a red one Hanging instead It happens when You're in love again Amen... I'm in love again |

Loved by me
You'll never know if you are loved by me As pretty as your face is I'd never round the bases From a distance home is easier to see I'd be fine If I could find the nerve to say my line Too bad I lack the fervor 'Cause maybe I could swerve her Off her beaten path and onto mine To publish my obsession Of love without confession Would be to share the spotlight with chagrin I'd rather just admire Fanning my own fire And when it dies I'd live to love again What to do I've only started and already though You may not ever meet me Surely won't defeat me I'll never know if I am loved by you What to do I've only started and already though You may not ever meet me Surely won't defeat me Seems I'm just too yellow to pursue Guess I'll never know if I am loved by you |
