it's wise to beware of any affair
before you get too deep
our love burned bright for many a night
now it's cold and I can't sleep.
you brought me roses at the start
now it's silver dollars & bleeding hearts.
in memory dear it seems so clear
that I should have known
love for a man ain't enough of a plan
& fate would leave me on my own.
...
what might've been is a game you can't win
but it seems I continue to play.
now you're moving on, & my dreams are gone
like flowers, they withered away.
...
you said you loved me at the start,
now all I've got is a broken heart.

my sally ann,
sweet little girl.
two strong hands & a voice like mountains.
oh sally ann,
funny little thing,
when I see her, I want to swim into those cold water eyes.
lovely sally ann,
hidden as you are
tell me where to go, it's never too far.
stars above and a heart so blue
sally ann, I need to know, do you love me too?

a lot of things

I'm afraid that you'll break my heart.
but I'm afraid of a lot of things.
if I'm not drowning, then I'm burning.
I like your voice and your choice of words.
and I like it when you sing to me.
and I am falling so easily.
and I know better
than to lose myself in love....
but it's hard to remember
when you're the one I'm dreaming of.
you seem to have an easy way
of letting all your heart be known,
and me I'm lonely when I'm not alone.
I know we can't make promises,
and we just have to wait and see.
but I hope you'll wait for me.
