Love can not fill the thickened lung with breath,

Nor clean the blood, nor set the fractured bone;

Yet many a man is making friends with death

Even as I speak, for lack of love alone.

It well maybe that in a difficult hour,

Pinned down by pain and moaning for release,

Or nagged by want past resolution’s power,

I might be driven to sell your love for peace,

Or trade the memory of this night for food.

It well maybe. I do not think I would.

No other friend is quite like you.

No other friend could do exactly what you do.

There's a place on each road...

The Pain Of Goodbye

I could fill the oceans with the tears I've cried

Or cover the entire earth with blankets

A Day Away

Some feelings are shallow, some feelings are deep.

Some make us smile, some make us weep.
