Following at the river’s side

7/20/08

Following at the river’s side

Scuffled footsteps, their presence gone.
Whispers in the dawn
Fairytales and swans
We are made of memories
Love is love, and words are cleaver
But only the endeavor
Means whatever
Matters in the end

Don’t forget to remember
The burning ember
In cold December
When lights have turned to blue
I saw through lace and in between
Touched what you have seen
A Kiss of tangerine
But I cannot love the rest

She followed you at the river’s side
She couldn’t say goodbye
The only one left still to cry
And Add to the water flow
The girl who found you in the snow
Who dreams of you evermore
The one who raced you to the shore
The girl you kissed and the rain it poured
But this was your unknown
And you’ve left her there alone
Following at the river’s side


Her love is stronger than regret
A dark silhouette
Under a threat
Of a love that can’t forget
Here the echoes cannot rhyme
No strength left to climb
Is there still more time
To be forgiven by that smile?

Silver rings won’t turn into stars
Sit up and watch the cars
Counting up your scars
A world of people who get hurt
Under the lonely viper’s tree
You finally have the key
Hold reality
Or follow your tears back home
