It’s beginning to look like I’ve given up writing poetry but, hey, what are lyrics but poetry set to music?
That’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it as I’m thoroughly enjoying this foray into writing and singing the lyrics to accompany Johnny’s fabulous music.
He and his lovely wife, Lisa, both put an incredible amount of work into compiling the video.
Where you go I’ll never know,
it’s a dream,
cast alone as a stone
into a stream.
I am void when you’re gone,
just a shell of myself,
you leave me there,
I don’t know where,
when or if I’ll be reborn,
recover soon, without you, my other self.
Why you leave I can’t conceive,
where you go I’ll never know,
into night you have flown
while I lie here all alone,
tie me to you,
take me on the voyage,
where you fly
as I lay here to die,
without you.
Where you go I’ll never know,
it’s a dream,
left alone while you roam
in the realms of a world
that is your home
from waking days,
each night I pray
you will return to me,
I’ll never see what you’ve seen
as I lie here lost to dreams,
beyond the night you have flown
as I die a death alone,
tie me to you,
take me on your voyage,
into night, where you fly,
do not leave me here to die
bring life back to my dreams,
take me with you when you go,
where you fly,
I cannot bear to die alone
on my own, just a shell of myself.
You leave me bare,
I don’t know where, when or if
I’ll be reborn, recover soon,
my death to self.
