I see you on the other side.
You are in my secret garden
The key unlocks the door
You hold the key that fits
Fits our souls.
Holds us together.
I looked for you
In another lifetime
I waited hoping to find you
I thought it would be so simple
Love is complicated
Our souls were a mural on the other side of my secret garden.
I wait a lifetime for the key that fits the door.
I finally found you.
The mural blurs.
And finally you place that key in my hand.

I am drowning inside
I choose to stay down
Under the water
If I come to the surface
I see above the water
Then I realize
What's under the water is a dream
Coming to the surface I must open my eyes
And see the truth.
Reality.

So salty
Sometimes sweet
Can be joy
can be sadness
Holding so much inside a single drop
Each has a meaning
So clear and sometimes cloudy
Depends upon  the joy or sorrow

I drive through that place up the road.
The leaves on the trees
The smell of fallen leaves
And sweet sadness.
I drive down the road and it is endless
Like my thoughts.
That song plays over and over in my head.
I hear it today and it always reminds me
Of sweet sadness.
I smell the fallen leaves.
I open my eyes
And all I see is snow.

Pictures of you in my head
Closed eyes
Open heart.
You penetrate my madness
Of being without you.
Simple things you say
I hear so loudly.
Tell me where you are
Somewhere inside my madness.
Help me find you
So I am sane.

Fly away
Sweet bird.
If you knew the way
Fly away
It all makes sense to set you free
Fly away
Sweet bird.
I won't stand into your way
Fly, fly away
Sweet bird.
Its easy to say
sweet bird of mine
I will always miss you
