Rhythms of Life
Now I sit in
comfort
Passing alone my
time
Writing down my memories
Writing down my memories
For no one's
eyes but mine.
As darkness
hides the day
In midnight blue
design
Flashing before me now
Flashing before me now
Are rhythms of
life gone by.
Once when I was
young
The
passion of love did
lure
Becoming
a need in me
Without finding
any cure.
I
found lust in my veins
Each with
a lesson in the end
The truth be known today
The truth be known today
I wouldn't want
that life again.
While
a foolish woman living for love
Dreaming of
coupled bliss
Time did its dance upon my body
Time did its dance upon my body
Leaving
me lonely and amiss.
My eyes are
clearer now
After many
midnight rains
Patience now belongs to me
Patience now belongs to me
Yet love
still flows through my veins.
Life burns and
life churns
As it passes so
quickly by
I am content
writing down my story
Just being
happy that I'm alive.
Once when I was
young
As life passed
me by
No woman could have loved
No woman could have loved
More stronger
than did I.
