TEMOR/FEAR

“Have you ever experienced a beauty of soul, an aesthetic grace, that was so intense it made you want to cry?"

THE SWEETEST TABOO - SADE

 

FEAR/TEMOR

 

Standing by and letting me float free

you stand so close; I can taste your breath

my heart is racing, but my soul is slow

I am running to nowhere until I hit the wall

 

You play to me late into the night

you listen to me singing all day long

we hold each other so distantly

both scared to run to where we can't hide

 

let me closer into your arms

wrap me with love and tender kisses

walk out with me; tell me all you know

and dance me to the golden hour

 

I don't think it at all possible

to fall in love and remain as friends

so I let you walk alone on your reconfigured journey

it's the only way this will always end

 

I can write and re-write every tiny detail

but it will always play out just like this

we had a good run for all this time

but it could never be ended so simply with a lover's kiss

 

So you walk off like a cowboy into the sunset

and I'll drive alone along parallel lines

you take the right road, it's the right road for you

and I'll take what's left of the setting sun

 

The power lines above us are filled with energy

I can feel the tingling in my head

but they can't raise the flatness all around us

or erase the memories of the things we said

 

Fear is something that I learned from the age of seven,

do you remember that day, the day I drowned

I knew then what I'll always know

when something's lost, it can never be re-found

 

What you've got to do is create

your own sweet reality within your pure but burgeoning mind

nothing and no-one can take this from you

so you learn to be cruel just to be kind

 

You'll be ok; I know you'll make it

you're not so lost you can't be found

but what love has taught me; I know that life has brought me

the imagination and strength to stand my ground
