Favorite Quote:
"Chocolate or vanilla?" most everyone at some point


Sun dips mind slips blood drips
As you lie here
Your eyes are wide they see inside
As I stare at you
You are my magic potion
I drink you in
But no mysticism, no running away
No cool blue ocean wave can take us to a brighter place
As falling light serenades our final flight
I reach for your hand
In silence

Chorus:
I want to hold you in the palm of my hand
I want to know you all over again
There’s no reason for this madness
It isn’t in my mind
This yearning, this wanting, this sadness
I find in your beautiful presence

Verse 2:
We move away from each other
We don’t care
About anything they tell us
To be
The night is full of reason
Its here now
Now no daydream can bask in the light
No golden fantasy can survive the emptiness of night
As every day has its end, I feel our end tonight
So I gasp for the answer
In your presence

Chorus:
I want to hold you in the palm of my hand
I want to know you all over again
There’s no reason for this madness
It isn’t in my mind
This yearning, this wanting, this sadness
I find in your beautiful presence

Verse 3:
So the light falls into water
And my
Love is dying fast in those
Fleeting moments
I find the answer in your
Beautiful presence

Bridge:
Covers me in light
When darkness sinks in
You’re leaving for good this time
I say goodbye all over again
Somewhere
Deep inside
I never understood you
And your
Presence

(whisper)
But the night is full of reason
And this
Chill cuts through my soul
As I
Search for the answer in your
Beautiful presence
Your beautiful presence

Chorus:
I want to hold you in the palm of my hand
I want to know you all over again
There’s no reason for this madness
It isn’t in my mind
This yearning, this wanting, this sadness
I find in your beautiful presence
Your beautiful presence

Love is work. It took me five hours to get over the boy this song is about, the five hours it took me to write it. So if you love someone, and can't act on it, write a song. That's the answer.
