Let Her Fly

Do the shadows call out your name?

When no one else will

Do you feel the sunlight that shines in your space?

Is there ever a moment when you look back

And call out to the life you once knew

It’s very brave of you to walk this broken path

I And the rain falls down each time I look for you

Take me there

Do the prairie winds echo you name?

Will the soldiers dance once more at your call?

I feels the illusion of your near

But when I look for you I shiver with fear

Just the thought of you out of my reach

The worlds is no match for all the women you are

And the women you were going to be

I hate the thought of letting you go

Its hurts – when the shadows glow

You left the world wondering why

Breathlessly I let her fly

I Remember You

We travel in the darkness

We chase away the dreams

Where hearts are forever restless

And love is not what it seems

We look at back at each other

I wonder who you are

I wonder who you have been

We travel in the darkness

We chase away the dreams

Truth becomes a game

When the heart out beats the mind

If we look at each other are we still the same

I hope someday you’ll find me

And bring me one more dream

I choose not to be forgotten

I hope that you will remember me
