I in need of a place at bar stopped to grieve

With answers of many

And questions few

I asked if the bartender

Knew you

His eyes filled with a glow

Said I knew her a while ago

Special as the day

I the fool

Let her

Slip away

Some people journey

Some they will stay

Most simply move away

From heart ache to sorrow

We will be

In trapped

Prisons seen

Lover oh lover

Where have you gone

Heartache and sorrow

Its been too long

Drifters of time

Bend the iron

Solve the rhyme

Sunshine and rain

I have you been

Comes in the wind

Returns now and then

Lover o oh lover

I need you so

Why and who

With did you go

River of reasons

Where have you been

Up the mountain

And back down again

Tree of childhood

Touch you this day

Swing in branches

I wish we could play

Lover oh lover

Where is the truth

Holder of more

What did you choose

Clouds in a blue sky

Hide the sunshine

Torment my eyes

Angry my heart dies

Perfect in color

The grass grows

Under the foot

Of no one she knows

Lover oh lover

you found me again

kiss on lips

the truth it mends

out of the darkness

into the light

giver of wisdom

passion of night

body of silken lies

willing answers provides

peace in the wind

rapture in sin

oh lover oh lover

I did not know

Your heart was broken

By his long ago

In winter and summer

You came

Blessed by the sun

Kissed by the rain

I watch in wonder as you leave

Thank all while I grieve

No maker to pray

Just a heart with two names

Carved in bench by St. James

Bar keep and I we keep time

Remembering and drinking

Our lives

She was a lover

And love she did

We were among the many

Who must still live
