COMIN' BACK TO ME - Jeferson Airplane

The summer had inhaled and held its breath too long
The winter looked the same, as if it never had gone
And through an open window where no curtain hung
I saw you, I saw you comin' back to me

One begins to read between the pages of a book
The shape of sleepy music, and suddenly you're hooked
Through the rain upon the trees, the kisses on the run
I saw you, I saw you comin' back to me

You came to stay and live my way
Scatter my love like leaves in the wind
You always say you won't go away
But I know what it always has been, it always has been

A transparent dream beneath an occasional sigh
Most of the time I just let it go by
Now I wish it hadn't begun
I saw you, yes, I saw you comin' back to me

Strolling the hills overlooking the shore
I realized I've been there before
The shadow in the mist could have been anyone
I saw you, I saw you comin' back to me

Small things like reasons are put in a jar
Whatever happened to wished wished upon a star?
Was it just something that I made up for fun?
I saw you, I saw you comin' back to me
 
Waiting by the Gate - Ishmael


You gave youself to me one day
then in the rain you slipped away.
I gave myself to you as well
and live within my self made hell

What made you run? And look askance
at my overtures, and provide no chance.
Time so small for us to live,
but for me, no time to give.

Should I have spent my wealth to turn your head,
and when that ran out, give what instead?
I offered no more than my heart,
hoping it would be a start.

But it was my wealth given in the end,
my heart it was to hoard or spend.
In not telling you of the present I bought,
you ran away, all spent for naught.

And though I wish I had it back this time,
I cannot take what's no longer mine.
Your eyes are turned away from me
and what you hold you cannot see.

And now I can do nothing but wait,
with wilting flowers by the garden gate.

Look ahead to some spring when you can pick a new bouquet. I'd have given you a dozen, but I'm keeping one tucked away for someone in my heart.

Has it been a rough night all around?

Good to see you, and hi miles.

Lioness

Rough enough LIW.

Yes, another spring would be nice. Just one more LIW, just one more.

It's the fucking moon miles. It's been in the constellation Limbo forever it seems.

The saddest, most beautiful song I know. By the talented Emily Saliers and performed by the Indigo Girls

Ghost

There's a letter on the desktop
that I dug out of a drawer
the last truce we ever came to
in our adolescent war
and I start to feel the fever
from the warm air through the screen
you come regular like seasons
shadowing my dreams.
The Mississippi’s mighty
it starts in Minnesota
at a place that you could walk across
with five steps down
and I guess that's how you started
like a pinprick to my heart
but at this point you rush right through me
and I start to drown.
And there's not enough room
in this world for my pain
signals cross and love gets lost
and time passed makes it plain
of all my demon spirits
I need you the most
I’m in love with your ghost
I’m in love with your ghost.
Dark and dangerous like a secret
that gets whispered in a hush
(don't tell a soul)
when I wake the things I dreamt about you
last night make me blush
(don't tell a soul)
and you kiss me like a lover
then you sting me like a viper
I go follow to the river
play your memory like a piper.
And I feel it like a sickness
how this love is killing me
but I’d walk into the fingers
of your fire willingly
and dance the edge of sanity
I’ve never been this close
I’m in love with your ghost.
Unknowing captor
you never know how much you
pierce my spirit
but I can't touch you
can you hear it
a cry to be free
oh I’m forever under lock and key
as you pass through me.
Now I see your face before me
I would launch a thousand ships
to bring your heart back to my island
as the sand beneath me slips
as I burn up in your presence
and I know now how it feels
to be weakened like Achilles
with you always at my heels.
And this bitter pill to swallow
is the silence that I keep
it poisons me I can't swim free
the river is too deep
though I’m baptized by your touch
I am no worse than most
in love with your ghost
you are shadowing my dreams.

And this is why I love it so…

That song haunts me.

Here's one with more hope.

Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover ~ Sophie B. Hawkins

That old dog has chained you up alright
Give you everything you need
To live inside a twisted cage
Sleep beside an empty rage
I had a dream I was your hero

Damn I wish I was your lover
I'll rock you till the daylight comes
Make sure you are smiling and warm
I am everything
Tonight I'll be your mother I will
Do such things to ease your pain
Free your mind and you won't feel ashamed

Open up on the inside gonna fill you up gonna make you cry

This monkey can't stand to see you black and blue
Give you something sweet each time you
Come inside my jungle book
What is it just too good
Don't say you'll stay
'Cause then you go away

Damn I wish I was your lover
I'll rock you till the daylight comes
Make sure you are smiling and warm
I am everything
Tonight I'll be your mother I will
Do such things to ease your pain
Free your mind and you won't feel ashamed

Shucks, for me there is no other
You're the only shoe that fits
I can't imagine I'll grow out of it
Damn I wish I was your lover

If I was your girl believe me
I'd turn on the Rolling Stones
We could groove along and feel much better
I could do it forever and ever
Give me an hour to kiss you
Walk through heaven's door I'm sure
We don't need no doctor to feel much better
Let me in
Forever and ever and ever and ever

I sat on a mountainside with peace of mind
I lay by the ocean making love to her with visions clear
Walked for days with no one near
And I return as chained and bound to you

Damn I wish I was your lover
I'll rock you till the daylight comes
Make sure you are smiling and warm
I am everything
Tonight I'll be your mother I will
Do such things to ease your pain
Free your mind and you won't feel ashamed

Shucks, for me there is no other
You're the only shoe that fits
I can't imagine I'll grow out of it
Damn I wish I was your lover

Just open up I'm gonna come inside I wanna fill you up I wanna make you cry.....
(Damn I wish I was your lover)
Gettin' on the subway and I'm comin' uptown....
(Damn I wish I was your lover)
Standing on a street corner waiting for my love to change....
(Damn I wish I was your lover)
Feelin' like a school boy, too shy and too young....
(Damn I wish I was your lover)
Open up I wanna come inside I wana fill you up I wanna make you cry....
(Damn I wish I was your lover)
Gettin' on my camel and I'll ride it uptown....
(Damn I wish I was your lover)
Hanging around this jungle, wishing that this.....
