Meadow Child

For the Meadow Child
The weather draws more mild
Just as the dragon attacks the land
So is the world to understand

A Funny Thing

We were childhood friends
Oh how we so ignorantly thought
Those days would never end
And so they did
My heart nearly broke
When she moved away
I swore I'd see her again
Somehow, someway

A couple of years later
I was a bit too late
Seeing her with him
Her and her Prom date
It nearly broke my heart
When he broke hers
But I was there for her
Together again, isn't it nice?

Love is a funny word
Love is a funny thing

A Rose of Summer

She is a Rose of Summer, a spirit of love
A rose among the thorns, so is my love for her among the crowd
An island in the terrifying sea, so is my offering for her
We sit down in our very hearts at rest, love like nectar
Embracing her in times of need in a blanket of passion
Stay with me my rose, for I am tired and weary of the world
Let me gaze into your heart, and live in paradise
I love you, my Rose of Summer, out of all the world
In these graceful fields, we'll stay until we please

Beauty Has A Name

With each passing day
I look forward to seeing you
Almost as if I was awakened
But you're still here
A dream come true

I never thought
Feelings could grow
But you sure proved me wrong
Almost like a love song

You're the girl
That won me over
You're the girl
I want to be a little bit closer

You're the girl
I wake up to see
You're the girl
I always dreamed next to me

A Girl Named Paige

A girl named Paige
With eyes and a face so bright
A girl named Paige
Came into my dreary life
My life, so dark
So full of strife

A girl named Paige
About her I was told
To keep me away until I was old
A girl named Paige
A lesson she did teach
For me to keep sight of my reach

A girl named Paige
Broke my heart
As my world fell apart
A girl named Paige
Perfectly took the part
While adding another fool to her cart
