Open Your Doors

|
I find it hard to say
When you're around
The intentions that I lay
And my promises abound
If you could hear these words
I'm sure you'd find
The interest I've found in you
Is based solely upon your mind
[Pre-Chorus]
And though
It may not be forever
Know my love
It will be
True
[Chorus]
Mailah, Open Your Doors
Let it inside
This whole world's just for you
You need not hide
From all of its charms
And if
Doubt were ever
To fall upon you
And change your mind
My love here will remain
Waiting for the day you feel the same
The key to what you need
May not be mine
But the limits of this world
They dictate that these things
They just take time
So I hope
That if a true love does cross your path
Oh that you won't "Swat it away"
'Cause it's a blessing to face loves wrath
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Orchestral ending]

Merry Abandon
03:00
|
|||
|
Dear let me tell you how much
I do need you
And how deeply my love it is true
Mon amie while you count every star
Hanging in the sky
Know that they'll never exceed
My love for you
[Chorus]
But those days of
Our Merry Abandon
Are over
This whole world doesn't seem so bright without you
My love
So if you ever really cared
I'd like to see you again
Maybe we could be friends?
Or be in love
[END]
Dear let me tell you how much
I do need you
Well, at least I believed that to be true
And I never told you just why
Those stars did shine
They shone for you
[Instrumental Break]
So if you ever really cared
I'd like to see you again
Maybe we could be friends?
Or be in love
[Piano improv with light accompaniment]

The Way We Was
03:23
|
|||
|
In moments of repose
I think I understand
The passage of time
The worth of being
Accepting that "tomorrow" is gone
Letting go of
The Way We Was
And just moving on
Peering at the void
I think I feel it
Staring back
It beckons me to stay
To live out this dream
Let go of true and false
Gently floating downstream
Offer up my hope
Give credence to the fact that
The Way We Was
Will never be again
The Way We Was
Will never be again
The Way We Was
Will never be again

Ghosts
02:22
|
|||
|
I know you do
The best that you can
Perhaps your best is not enough
Go through your days
Your face in deadpan
Waiting for your life's flame to snuff
"Ghosts never stay long"
But they'll ruin you
In your dreams
And I pray
I won't be long
'Cause I'm tearing out
At the seams
It's hard, it's true
The straight-and-narrow
When one can't define
Good and bad
You're here, you're you
Yet in your bone marrow
Maybe you're much too like your dad
These spooks of yesterday
They haunt you
Waiting for you to just slip up but
"Ghosts never stay long"
But they'll ruin you
In your dreams
And you never could choose
What tomorrow does bring

Passive Agressions
02:15
|

|
When the fool returns home
Will you still be around?
Acting as my only link to this
Natural world
Well if not
I've never been one
To really care
I can't say for sure what's
Wrong or Right
What feels good at night
That's up to you
So I won't drag you
Down
With the mistakes you've made
You'll pay your dues
Processing all this mercurial life
Has thrust upon
Your fragile ego
Has lead you to hide from your fears
And hold yourself back
So please
Don't be lead astray
'Cause I'd hate to see you live that way
I know that we're all just
Living life
But you say
"Whatever feels right
Will have to do"
Or is it that you can't
Accept that your inner-strife
May hold some truth

Something
03:32
|
|||
|
Something in the way she moves
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way she woos me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how
Somewhere in her smile she knows
That I don't need no other lover
Something in her style that shows me
Don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how
You're asking me will my love grow
I don't know, I don't know
You stick around, now it may show
I don't know, I don't know
Something in the way she knows
And all I have to do is think of her
Something in the things she shows me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how

Getting Over
03:03
|
|||
|
Living's easy
When you find your
Own way through
This oppressive world
No one can tell you
What you can or can't do
So who told you that life made any sense?
I've been there, too
I must confess
Can only be in present tense
Stuck here and now
But baby it's alright 'cause
I don't know and
Neither do you
What it means to be
Or what tomorrow brings
Or much of anything
So who told you that life made any sense?
I've been there, too
I must confess
Can only be in present tense
Stuck here and now
