New Beginnings

Like thunder rolling you came to me Embraced me, fulfilled me and showed me the key You touched me in places I thought had long died I've drunk from the well now, I can't step aside Like a cool breeze on a hot night You pushed open my eyes It's as though you were always The truth in the lies

The world is a high rise with so many floors So many hallways and so many doors So many locks and so little keys How did you come to be sitting by me?

It's like swimming on sunshine And chasing the snow Wherever you lead me Are the places I go My guard is well lowered And my masks thrown away I'm taking you with me I hope it's o.k.

The world is a high rise with so many floors So many hallways and so many doors So many locks and so little keys How did you come to be sitting by me?

You tell tales of childhood And my heart stops to sigh When you tell me you love me I think of nothing but why I don't feel I deserve this Don't know why, though I do I'll steal time when I can girl Just to be here with you

The world is a high rise with so many floors So many hallways and so many doors So many locks and so little keys Don't say a word hon, just come sit by me.
