(Another song)

Sometimes a whisper is the loudest voice to be heard-

A scream the easiest to ignore.

And a hand outstretched it can be warmer-

Than a rushed embrace.

An unlocked window more welcoming-

Than an open door.

And fitful dreams can leave you wanting-

But still fulfill you more.

Than life in transit…rush no more!

You need to slow down.

Sometimes we speak a thousand lies-

Than seek salvation…from our fears.

And truth can come from someone's eyes-

How can I be this patient… waiting here?

I need to see the darkness fall-

from this veil around your eyes.

Step away from loneliness' years-

grasp this love before it dies.

I need you to slow down…
