Frontiersman and fools, fabled supremacy, panning for gold distantly.
Alone we stand, alone we rely! Alone we fight, alone we die!
Americans
Over and over I try to write
of the passions flowing through my veins
my heart bursts
memory aflame
it's maddening
how the fire burns
low, and deep
unsatisfied
la
you devil
you absolute devil
there's no one like you
no one
the frisson from connecting our bodies
and souls
is burned into me
memory of a flame
that builds when we are together
la
you devil
burning this desire into my soul
making me ache
and fantasize
remembering our nights together
and days
and time in between
it's a sweetness, that I can almost taste
a feeling
I can almost capture
you devil
making me burn
I miss you
I felt at home in your arms
we got along
there was joy
companionship
you know
it was beautiful
I loved you.
I look at my life,
I see, short lived fantasies
don't know why there are so many
I think I'm a solid catch.
I have what I need though
a life
a family
and friends
I guess it's enough
but I miss you.
Beautiful, beautiful world
Stalwart mountains
Drawing the eye upwards
the mountain tops painted
with hues of grey, green and white in the winter
the variegated blues of the sky
changing with the day
oh beautiful, beautiful world
the sound of the birds
the rivers that run
the insects and wind through the trees
oh beautiful world
the scent of a fire, and water and leaves
oh beautiful, beautiful world
the emotions we all feel, the good and the bad
we may cry, and sigh but one day we all die
and return to this beautiful, beautiful world
