Our Little Place

our little place

this is your life 
until the moment ends 
i heard a little voice 
trying to tell me something 

i hope you see your friends 
see your family 
i hope love is with you 
and your tree is pretty 
this is your life 
until the moment's passed 
i saw a shooting star 
there! 
where the clouds part 

snow is falling down 
they’re skating in the park 
i hope we build a snowman 
you catch a snowflake on your tongue 
these are our lives 
until the moment’s gone 
i heard a little voice 
and the voice was trying to ask me something 

is there someone special there? 
does sunlight dance upon their hair? 
before we’re Christmas ghosts 
can try to make the most 
i know i’m lucky now 
i haven’t always been 
everything can change 
please don’t change back again 
this is your life until the moment ends 
i hear a little voice 
and the voice is always saying something

I Saw a Shooting Star

gold ring

one more waltz 

the fat lady sings
and the boxing ring bell rings
these days we just email
she’ll pick up her things
and the moon is climbing high
in the black twinkling sky
my head turns cartwheels
a shooting star flies
did she run in slow-mo
into a new embrace?
as I feel as though I lost
the human race
it's not the ending I expected at all
dans la vie la fin est le commencement
in a circle we dance
we waltz our final waltz

she told me i deserve
so much better than her
that i should be with grace
‘cause she laughs & creates
and she said
i want babies and you never meditate
i said i want that too
but it seemed to be too late
and she said
you got no money since you moved to aldgate
but my waters tell the truth
from excuses people make
there were facts she seemed to ignore
we'd be friends if she gave it to me straight
said there's someone i love more
and this is our final waltz
 
and thank god she did 
or where would we be?
maybe somewhere better
it’s impossible to see
maybe somewhere worse
it’s all turned out great
just not as i rehearsed

almost time to shoot 
but you just kicked off your shoes
you said
I don't want to dance in heels
i know how it feels
to be safe in your arms
and feel your heart by my heart
hear that voice enchant me
and i said
I'm so lucky that life lead me here
danced a clumsy pirouette
i shed a tear
you don't need to explain tears of joy
as the ocean bears gifts of love
and one more waltz

one more waltz

There's a painting on the wall
And the image says it all
Life is there for living
Some of us got it figured out
Some of us are filled with fear and doubt
Sometimes we lead ourselves astray

I don't know why my self esteem is a tightrope walker
I don't know why my mind monkey with me
It's not how it ought to be

Keep it in or let out
Whichever I choose could be the wrong shout
My emotions get the best of me
No matter how old and grey I get
I sometimes feel like I'm still a kid
At least I've got my sense of wonder

I don't know why my self esteem is a tightrope walker
I don't know why my mind monkey with me
It's not how it ought to be
