*** Lyrics by Carlton Carr ***

** Cover art by yours truly **

The other side of tenderness
is a shallow pool
of cruel hard longing
strong bonds that bind me to you
locks without keys

We call the odds
and sometimes fall
but when the glance is right
we dance our dance on wings
and clutch at flesh all night

The other side of tenderness
is a silent scream
a dream that splits the fusion
of our bonding
an acrid planet without seas

The other side of tenderness
is having no desire
no hunger no needs
burning fires without flames
death without disease

Life stings and pays us back
upon the rack of love we writhe
but only the heartless can survive
the other side of tenderness

We call the odds
and sometimes fall
but when the glance is right
we dance our dance on wings
and clutch at flesh all night

The other side of tenderness

the other side of tenderness

WHERE ONLY FEAR WILL PLAY

Slow Comes Easy

A quiet holiday becomes a slow unraveling.
Rain outside, silence within.
Two people grow distant without knowing how or when.
The words are few, the days long,
and what remains is the feeling of something quietly slipping away.

Clouds over Chalet 9

[Verse 1]
Dust on the roads, summer heat rising
Words left unsaid, slowly fading away
Morning comes fast, what happens next
Keep it quiet now

[Chorus]
First August took us away
Left me a sign in the stars
Coming back somehow
Time to let go
But my heart still warm

[Verse 2]
Those summer nights, sparks in the dark
Glass getting foggy from the heat outside
All those meetings, moments we had
But dawn breaks through, then what

[Chorus]
First August took us away
Left me a sign in the stars
Coming back somehow
Time to let go
But my heart still warm

[Bridge]
Say goodbye
But not forever
Leave something behind
Like those night stars
I'll return
Just like that

[Chorus]
First August took us away
Left me a sign in the stars
Coming back somehow
Time to let go
But my heart still warm

[Outro]
Dust settles down
Heat on the glass
Words in the mist
First August
Took us away
