Three Strings
________________________________________________
Shrouded by mystery
He plays strange tunes
On a cold night of June
On his cold, old guitar
With his missing three strings
He started to sing
To hum, haunting songs
As if there's nothing wrong
As he taps on the board
Hi fingers delicately
Moving---a beautiful noise
From the out-of-tune guitar
His eyes, in such sorrow
Stares with silent madness
Even joy dances with sadness
That strays tonight, til morrow
He stands and turns away
From this stoned, uncaring place
With all the things he brought today
BUT ONE, he took them all away
Guess what is it he left behind?
Alone, on its own, for someone to find
The man then stopped, to turn and see
The guitar found its way to me
The guitar found its way to me
The guitar found its way to me

Sweet Surrender
___________________________________________________
Far away, solitude shivers
Heartbreakingly sweet and bitter
The last of your furtive glances
Would put to shame all romances
You held the place that never was
I treasure that, which never was
My anguish, for I let it pass
As I look down on broken glass
To you I shared my wildest dreams
While you listened, my faint heart screams
And as your words filled me with love
I found myself mid-air, above
That very scene I wished to last
Beyond eternity and past
Your voice that is enrapturing
Forevermore, a song to sing
If I could fly for once then die
I'd fly with you with your closed eyes
For what is there in every breath
Without you life is almost death
And now, you'll see a heinous crime
That one which will be heard all time
I'll tell you this, for once, for all
Though I'm quite sure that you won't fall
For that same trap I laid before
That victimized a hundred-four
But rest assured, I promise you
This is the last---the LAST I'd do
