Red's Tales Wish I could share my Christmas tree with you Wish all my holiday dreams would come true The lights, the carols, the softly falling snow The stockings hung with care by the fire's dimlit glow Wish I could share my Christmas tree with you Wish I could share my Christmas wreath with you And all the garland, holly and ivy too Sitting by the fire watching the Yuletime log Laughing softly as we drink some old egg nog Wish I could share my Christmas wreath with you Wish I could share my Christmas song with you And tell you how much I love you But you won't be here for the holiday Instead you'll be so far away And I won't be able to share my Christmas song with you. Current mood: When I was a lad, just a simple lad I laughed and played and had a jolly time I chased frogs and jumped and ran I never thought it could get better Never any better than this But all that changed the day I met Anne I thought I had been in love before I loved as I should, but lived as I shouldn't. Yet never thought myself less than a man. My heart was incomplete, my song went unsung The stars never came out at night But all that changed the day I met Anne So Anne, Anne, won't you love me? Won't you come and be in my arms? Won't you woo me with a kiss And send me to my bliss? I fall victim to your charms. Now my world knows color and my sky knows day My heart laughes out loud with merry old tune Life has invigorated me with a new plan I sing and shout, I jump and skip I know I'm in love Ever since the day that I met Anne Do you truly love me? Often I wonder that of my friend... Good ones are hard to find So few and far between Let me in and let me help, she says, Open your doors and your heart. Vent your anger and your sorrows Ease your pain on my shoulders Could I learn to love again? Have they come to save me? Each doubt plagues in my mind over and over Else I lose myself again. Still they remain to ease my soul, Earning my love and trust forever. Lovers waiting in the shadows, Only turn out to be more shadows Not promises of dreams come true. Everytime I try, I lose a piece of myself, Learning to be bitter and hate and accept You will never come for me. She walked out of that door And out of my life And she was gone, just like that, My heart yearned so much To call her name, To tell her to wait, To tell her how I feel. She brought out the best of me And made my soul laugh with delight Her smile brightened my day And her frown made me weep. But I loved her so much That I let her go. One day sadness just overcame him His overcast heart just felt so heavy As if it were made of lead. He looked around - all he saw Were the blues and the greys. His very soul just drooped Like the wise old face of a basset hound. Then he saw something. He turned around And unfroze. There before was a spirit of life A smiling face, A hand to hold, A companion to talk to, A lover to love. His heart inflated with love and warmth And he knew he had turned around. Somewhere a star is falling Shining bright in a sky of black Hope is uncovered. Somewhere the water trickles Sounding the drums of life. The journey has begun. A rose. Silent in all its glory. Blooms with endless beauty, Stinging the eyes of the blind Crumbling to the ground in disarray. What's the worth? Nothing... But wait... The aroma of love Buried in my heart forever Makes wishes upon a star As I look out my window, I see a world locked in slumber. I think the sun forgot to set his alarm Because it doesn't seem he's up. The ground is wet with tears. Why is God crying? Is it something I did? As I look into my window, I see my soul locked in slumber, My soul is wet with tears. Why am I crying? What have I done? Still, it is so still. The window seperates my world from theirs. They do not understand. Marching along, one by one, Like a horde of ants. Columns and ranks form the day. A century of men gleaming like light Leather carefully shaped Bronze firmly hammered Each man fighting for the Eagle Yet none with a future. Only one man wields his destiny As his weapon And he leads them forth calling, "Carpe diem!" Outraged, I screamed in anger People got scared and ran Prejudice has plagued me, Restricted my freedom Emotions come forth, Suffocating my thoughts, Suffering from my loss I'm so lost Outside in the darkness Never to shine my light |
