You

You

A song I'm re-recording for this cd. It's pretty rough around the edges, but I think the acoustic guitars, cello, and fiddle all sound good, which is what's important now. I'll spice up the drums and redo the bass for sure. What else would be good?

You...

pull me out of everything
shorten distance, slow down time
cause the world to fade to grey
engrave the moment in my mind
freeze my thinking to the now
cease the wonder why and how
present me to the world, where I find...

you

open my eyes, unplug my ears
color the environment, widen my world
sing without an ounce of fear
write music that I love to hear
make me more than just a mind
give me art and give me soul
lift me up and kick me out and make me realize...

you give me the unique opportunity
to love someone like I know you love me
and I in time could never complete this rhyme
a line I know because I'm aware that


you

accept my eccentricites
calm my nerves and accusations
deconstruct my allegations
unmake my hypocrises
cheer me on, push me harder
challenge me to test the water
make me see there's something better
I knew it when I saw

you 

offer me your feelings offer me your intellect
offer me your trust and offer me your feedback
offer compassion offer curiosity
offer me love when I hate myself
offer me insight, offer me a new way
offer me your shoulder offer me your embrace
offer yourself and everything you are
it is what I need


you give me the unique opportunity
to love someone like I know you love me
and I in time could never complete this rhyme
a line I know because I'm aware that
love can break our shells and emancipate our lives 
and make this world a place worth living in
and sharing with and dying for
and holding onto and I owe this all to

you
