lingering along silken threads
waiting for my chance to come
hoping to catch my prey
left empty alone
it's all I dread
each time I toil to spin
and turn along a line
safety is but an illusion
I have nothing left in me
nothing but time

Resting quietly, hidden away
I learn you watch quietly
for a smile made of roasted clay
my angel, my love, my deity

worship you I shall 
no matter where you are
my  heart shall ring with bells
ever near, never far

I know the sun will go down
and all the colours will run
What was painted for me in daylight hours
will be shot down by night's chromatic gun


Visions are shown of varied hues
burnt into the canvas of the day
Slowing, darkening, and to fade,
palette turns to darkest grey


Brushes are cleaned in quiet sleep,
a new canvas stretched to a frame
and slowly washed in a sky so deep,
starting to paint the day again

When they told me you'd been cheating
I knew they were wrong
I knew they were lying
There was no chance our love was dying
We have loved each other for so long

Whatever you can tie
and bind with ropes of love
May slip and wear with time
but never come undone.

My heart took a beating
I knew they were wrong
our love wasn't fraying
No matter how much they were trying
Our love for each other is strong.

Whatever you can tie
and bind with ropes of love
May slip and wear with time
but never come undone.
