Wait A Hundred Years (Hold On)

=======================

Hold On, here you come again
you say you want some more
you closed the door
Hold On, what you tryin' to do
you say you want it so,
you let it go

Wait a Hundred Years
for someone like you to come my way
Give a lifetimes love and you find yourself,
then you find someone else,
then you find that your love has gone away

Hold On,
Hold On, to something strong
it's what you want,
it's what you gotta have today

I'll wait a thousand nights, write a thousand songs
Wait a Hundred Years
see if it goes right or it goes wrong,
follow a trail of tears

I'd give a lifetimes love to find you there
to find you care,
to find Love always everywhere.

I'll wait till the end of time

Hold On, here you come again
you say you want some more
you closed the door
Hold On, what you tryin' to do
you say you want it so,
you let it go

I'll wait till the end of time

See everyone you cared for you left behind
everytime you tried and tried you couldn't find
The first thing that you wanted was a peaceful mind
the last time that you looked,
that was the last time,
the very last time

I'll wait till the end of time
I'll wait till the end of time

Wait a Hundred Years
for someone like you to come my way

something in our way

====================

Something In Our Way
there must be something I can do
she sits in silence as I say,
"Is there something bothering you?"

"No", she says, offers no more;
the silence seems to slowly grow
What is all this happening for
She must know I love her so

Something In Our Way
and slowly growing as I wait
I wonder over words to say
before it soon becomes too late

Noone offers words of truce
and silence seems a damning thing
I wonder if there's any use
in thinking up new words to sing

Something In Our Way
there must be something I can do
It seems a little late to say
"In all this world, I love you, I love you".

the beauty in your eyes

====================
to have a woman near
and her try to know
live together
together grow
wide eyed with wonder
in all of life's sorrow
we'll dance drunkenly merry
and then welcome tomorrow

to laugh at the comedy
and cry with the tragic
rejoice in a song
and the wealth of it's magic
naked unguarded and helplessly small
we'll live king and queen as One
Oneness ruler of all

the beauty in your eyes
is all that i can see
the beauty in your eyes
that was meant for me

there is no love beyond this love
this love so true
no love beyond this love
that is a part of you

there is no time that was not meant
for you and I
there is no time beyond our reach
as we pass on by

there is no light that shines above
that will not reach our eyes
there is no light that spares the darkness
still the darkness never dies

there is no life as this that loves
and lives eternally
there is no life where life is not
allowed to be

the beauty in your eyes
is all that I can see
the beauty in your eyes
that was meant for me

to have a woman near
and her try to know

a time and a place

==================

there's a time and a place I first saw you

baby it's a good day
I love it here this way
honey I'll be here all morning if you want to sail away
and baby it's a good day

maybe there's something I said
come right to your head
honey I'll wait here forever in case it comes back again
yes, and baby that's something

there's a time and a place I first saw you
and I'd go there today if I could

honey now let's see
this could be your best chance
now you know where I'll be when the music makes you dance
woo, honey if you get me, yeah

I could do this all day
I can try this, I could show you

and there's hope in the world
I would show you
but there's somethings you find on your own

You Can See The Way

=========================

you can see the way
to the light
you can see the way
you want it so bad
you won't have to wait much longer
sometimes i can't keep from calling out
if that's all it was to you

well another day
any other
what you're going through
getting you way
never mind

what you're gonna do this time
i'll ask you what Love is gonna do

you can't put much hope in this single life
can't put much hope in the solitary life
this is no joke
the crazy way we're livin'
you seemed so surprised
and it shows

now she's comin'
good for you
try to take it in stride, and let her know
yeah, she's comin', good for you
at least you give her somethin'
for keepin you high

what you gonna do this time
i'll tell you what Love is gonna do
it's just you
you keepcallin from your heart
it's just you giving everything

you can fade away
so do it fast
you can make it last much longer
next time you won't mistake
but first, let me hear you say
you heard some truth in it
you always knew anyway
and suddenly you see, it opens up

and what you gonna do this time
I'll ask you what Love is gonna do
For You, you keep callin from your heart
it's just you giving everything

This Kind Spirit (Faithful and True)

=======================

Your actions speaking
What I heard, I'd heard before
Surprised what you saw
Wanted nothing more
That Peace should be relieving
What with everything around me
Everywhere, Everyone,
Turning to see

Holy One
Faithful and True
Holy One
Faithful and True

Your hearts believing
What I see begins again
Surprised you knew when
I needed a friend
To set my soul singing
What with everything around me
Everywhere, Everone
Turning to see

Holy One
Faithful and True
Holy One
Faithful and True

This is one of my first hymns, completed at the same time as "The Gift and The Giver". ko

my feelings are for you

=======================

my feelings are for you
and where they lead
the whispered word they leave
the truth brought from turmoil
are here in your present

my heart points
and why I must go there
the reason for each quest
the answer seen in shadow
are in the smile you've created
my desire calls you

and what we've shared
the pulse of the unknown
the pleasure and disappointment
are all one
in the arms of holiness
my love guides my kiss

this is just a really beautiful song, if you will excuse my saying so. the words were some of the best I ever wrote, and the music was a fine early distillation of David Arkenstone and myself.

i wrote the poem in one sitting, David and I finished off the music in much the same way. miracle moments.
