Secretly

Over the western sky
Dark clouds went weeping by
And over the furthest ridge line
Ghostly blue plumes caught my searching eye
While you intently talked to me

This parting gift
Came alive with searching lips
While your finger tips
Entwined with mine

Our shuffling feet
Matched this pounding beat
Of your heart you shared with me
Secretly

And in your living room
I watched your body move
Your sweat danced like dew
I feel so alive

And in the morning light
I woke with such surprise
As I rubbed my eyes
To find it was all dream

Exactly How I Feel

Its dark; it feels just like midnight
And that's when you notice you've acted like a fool
You just want to lose yourself for a minute or two

She stands under the bar lights
And you hear a song about forgiveness
And you forget about yourself for a while
But she's right there in front of you
Carrying on, laughing and forcing a fragile smile

And you feel like everyone is watching
As she's dancing and turning
She's holding that man like a crutch
The room is suddenly spinning
With anger you walk out to your car
Because you know what he'll do
And you can still feel her in skin in your touch

Then she goes to leave with someone you don't know
Your blood begins to boil
You begin to lose all control
Your friends don't believe it
And you fell like you're going to explode

She was so brave, she was so devoted
And you struggle to keep your manners in mind
You ache for her body
Because you were hers at one time
You gather up your courage
You turn to remind her of that time

So you walk right into her foot steps
You whisper in her ear "you are too beautiful to be this alone"
Your arm is around her
And you lovingly tell her "darling, its time to come home"

You dance under the street lights
You know it'll take time for everything to heal
But that doesn't matter
You just have to see her to know exactly how I feel
