To See You

Next to the highway -- a noisy place
Will anyone ever want me
Tiny place next to the highway
Could anyone ever want me
I don't have a car
My job pays poor
So much love in my heart
Looks as if i may have lost my allure
But i've got much love in my heart

My appetite for love's voracious
Will anyone entertain me
It's no wonder my bed seems spacious
Could anyone entertain me
Is it possible
For two of us
To have much love in our hearts
How it would be
Fortuitous
To find that much love in a heart

The heat of winter's chill on my face
Burning that's deep in my chest
It's cold and familiar in second place
Knowing i've done my best

The certain cause for my ambition
To dress an unyielding sadness
Flirting with an absent addition
To simmer away my madness
The curb that i climb
Is much too steep
To carry that heavy a heart
I'll stay where i stand
And just try to keep
Love in that heavy a heart

Away from the highway -- a quiet place
Will i ever find my true love
Majestic and far from the highway
Could i have had my last love
I ride in a plane
My job pays high
Still so much love in my heart
At least i'll be sure of my place in the sky
With all this love in my heart

Come good fortune
Let me love tonight
Pardon me from soulless searching
Spare me for another with a see-through heart
A heart as empty as my hands to be full
Let me love tonight

Come good fortune
Let me feel her skin
Don't deny for which i've hungered
Let me taste her mouth only slightly parted
With lips as full as mine have been denied
Let me love tonight

Come good fortune
Let me say goodbye
With no remorse
Thoughtless, callous
As lovely as she was she'll remain obscured
By the morning sun
But fortune come 'fore the day is done
Let me love tonight

Lovers are dreamers and i've been walking in my sleep
When i awake i'll never take a chance that i can't keep
A thousand first times never add up to last
And i've been told a heart of gold melts away too fast

But i didn't count on you
Running into me
No i didn't count on you

I could learn to love you
I could get used to this
I could learn to love you
And the shelter of your kiss

The day's not as hard as trying to go through it alone
And in the end you can't depend on any love
But your own
Sometimes the impossible shows up undeclared
That's when the impossible
Shows you that it's possible
Maybe even beautiful
To double what you've dared

But i didn't count on you
Running into me
No i didn't count on you

I could learn to love you
I could get used to this
I could learn to love you
And the shelter of your kiss

Loved by me
You'll never know if you are loved by me
As pretty as your face is
I'd never round the bases
From a distance home is easier to see

I'd be fine
If i could find the nerve to say my line
Too bad i lack the fervor
'cause maybe i could swerve her
Off her beaten path and onto mine

To publish my obsession
Of love without confession
Would be to share the spotlight with chagrin
I'd rather just admire
Fanning my own fire
And when it dies i'd live to love again

What to do
I've only started and already though
You may not ever meet me
Surely won't defeat me
I'll never know if i am loved by you

What to do
I've only started and already though
You may not ever meet me
Surely won't defeat me
Seems i'm just too yellow to pursue
Guess i'll never know if i am loved by you

There's a winding crack
Moving through my windshield
Like a vein in my head
The faster i go
The faster it winds
I'll get off the road
When my heart explodes
But not till then
I'm in love again

Given circumstance
I'm bounded by commitment
The whole way around
I usually know when i get to the end
As sure as i stand
The hour hand
Has stopped at ten
I'm in love again

There's an old blue shirt
Hanging in my closet
It's a favorite of mine
One day i looked and it just wasn't there
Now there's a red one
Hanging instead
It happens when
You're in love again
Amen...
I'm in love again
