The mission of my blog is to connect and inspire. This song was inspired by innocence and the quest for love that’s been lost.
“There and Gone”
Verse 1:
Sleepless left my room awaiting
Your window where you and left
The candle burning … somewhere are you out there … tonight?
Into the fog chasing your ghost
Wondering was I too fast, too slow
And I’m running, tumbling down for one last look … but you don’t show.
CHORUS:
What if I shut down?
What if I just left?
What if I took everything I said back?
What if tomorrow,
I forgot to call?
Wondering would you even notice at all.
Verse 2:
Seasons change as love grows old
Your midnight dress still on the floor
The moonlight bathes your subtle traces following me around.
Sweet is the sound of your warmth where,
I lay come into your embrace
And this distance you have built between us is … tearing me apart (to Chorus)
Verse 3:
I won’t lose sleep, won’t be torn.
I won’t miss your dress on the floor.
How the touch of your skin left me believing … I’m almost again.
The velvet of your lips touches me down to my fingertips.
We dance again and heal the wounds we left … on each other’s hearts … so what if I shut down (to Chorus)
