Thoughts from Taxi...she was going to be an actress and I was gonna learn to fly... she took off to find the foot lights I took off to find the sky... Harry Chapin
It was a dream I have been having. I find her every night. We were the beginning. I picked her up at the light. She was a wander of the days and the dreams. She was the answer to all my soft more schemes. She asked no questions. Just wanted a place to stay. In my arms she was my lady. Well at least for today.
There is a wide eyed monster waiting inside me trying to get out There is a lesson to be learned from the inside out There is a face of grace screaming to the sun There is hope for me in you my son
She stops starts to cry She is seasons in the sky She takes and takes as he lies She sleeps in his keeps as her soul dies
There is this wide eyed vision of what love is about There is a place to lay in a mind that warms There is a must have in the quiet storm There is image lost in her final shout
Call falls inside her heart song Call of burn and sigh as it explodes Call inside the pride of youth to implode Call of the wild side of hope leather and dope
Hood and the angel take their place as the table is set Hood and angel have not lost their joy yet Hood and angel lay their body down Hood and angel a perfect sound
Night time is for releases of the pressures of day. I slip from the shadows. I live to take her away. Come stop in the darkness. Ride with me for awhile. I have a pen that is teaching how to smile. Every stop is memory. Every voice is a friend. Every thought will guide me. Love comes again.
