Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

I took for granted,all the times
That I thought would last somehow
I hear the laughter, I taste the tears
But I can’t get near you now

Oh, can’t you see it baby
You’ve got me going crazy

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

I wonder how we can survive
This romance
But in the end if I’m with you
I’ll take the chance

“The Queen & The Soldier”

The soldier came 1.…………. upon the queen’s door
He said, “I am not 2……….. for you any more”
The queen knew she’d seen his face someplace before
And slowly she let him 3……….

He said, “I’ve watched your 4…….. up here on the hill
And I’ve wondered who’s the woman for whom we all 5…..
But I am leaving tomorrow and you can do 6………..
Only first I am asking you why.”

Down in the long narrow hall he was led
Into her rooms with her 7………. red
And she never once took the 8……. from her head
She asked him there to sit down.

He said, “I see you now, and you are so very young
But I’ve seen more 9…….. lost than I have 10……… won
And I’ve got this 11………., says it’s all for your fun
And now will you tell me why?”

The young queen, she fixed him with an arrogant eye
She said, “You won’t understand, and you may as well not try”
But her face was a child’s, and he thought she would 12…..
But she closed herself up like a 13……

And she said, “I’ve swallowed a secret burning 14…….
It cuts me inside, and often I’ve bled”
He laid his hand then on top of her head
And he 15…… her down to the ground.

“Tell me how 16…… are you? How weak you must feel
As you are living here alone, and you are never revealed
But I won’t 17…… again on your battlefield”
And he took her to the window to see.

And the sun, it was 18……, though the sky, it was 19….
And she wanted more than she ever could say
But she knew how it frightened her, and she turned away
And would not look at his face again.

And he said, “I want to live as an 20. ……. man
To get all I 21…….. and to give all I can
And to love a young woman who I don’t understand
22…………, your ways are very strange.”

But the 23……., it had fallen, and she thought she would break
And she stood there, ashamed of the way her heart 24…….

She took him to the doorstep and she asked him to wait
She would only be a moment inside.

Out in the distance her 25……. was heard
And the soldier was 26……, still waiting for her word
And while the queen went on strangling in the solitude she preferred
The battle 27………. on

“The Queen & The Soldier”

The soldier came knocking upon the queen’s door
He said, “I am not fighting for you any more”
The queen knew she’d seen his face someplace before
And slowly she let him inside.

He said, “I’ve watched your palace up here on the hill
And I’ve wondered who’s the woman for whom we all kill
But I am leaving tomorrow and you can do what you will
Only first I am asking you why.”

Down in the long narrow hall he was led
Into her rooms with her tapestries red
And she never once took the crown from her head
She asked him there to sit down.

He said, “I see you now, and you are so very young
But I’ve seen more battles lost than I have battles won
And I’ve got this intuition, says it’s all for your fun
And now will you tell me why?”

The young queen, she fixed him with an arrogant eye
She said, “You won’t understand, and you may as well not try”
But her face was a child’s, and he thought she would cry
But she closed herself up like a fan.

And she said, “I’ve swallowed a secret burning thread
It cuts me inside, and often I’ve bled”
He laid his hand then on top of her head
And he bowed her down to the ground.

“Tell me how hungry are you? How weak you must feel
As you are living here alone, and you are never revealed
But I won’t march again on your battlefield“
And he took her to the window to see.

And the sun, it was gold, though the sky, it was gray
And she wanted more than she ever could say
But she knew how it frightened her, and she turned away
And would not look at his face again.

And he said, “I want to live as an honest man
To get all I deserve and to give all I can
And to love a young woman who I don’t understand
Your Highness, your ways are very strange.”

But the crown, it had fallen, and she thought she would break
And she stood there, ashamed of the way her heart ached
She took him to the doorstep and she asked him to wait
She would only be a moment inside.

Out in the distance her order was heard
And the soldier was killed, still waiting for her word
And while the queen went on strangling in the solitude she preferred
The battle continued on.

“Tom’s Diner”

I am sitting
In the morning
At the diner
On the corner

I am waiting
At the counter
For the man
To pour the coffee

And he fills it
Only halfway
And before
I even argue

He is looking
Out the window
At somebody
Coming in

“It is always
Nice to see you”
Says the man
Behind the counter

To the woman
Who has come in
She is shaking
Her umbrella

And I look
The other way
As they are kissing
Their hellos

I’m pretending
Not to see them
Instead
I pour the milk

I open
Up the paper
There’s a story
Of an actor

Who had died
While he was drinking
It was no one
I had heard of

And I’m turning
To the horoscope
And looking
For the funnies

When I’m feeling
Someone watching me
And so
I raise my head

There’s a woman
On the outside
Looking inside
Does she see me?

No she does not
Really see me
Cause she sees
Her own reflection

And I’m trying
Not to notice
That she’s hitching
Up her skirt

And while she’s
Straightening her stockings
Her hair
Has gotten wet

Oh, this rain
It will continue
Through the morning
As I’m listening

To the bells
Of the cathedral
I am thinking
Of your voice…
