Fragile

Let me dance this life

To a rhythm of joy

Keep me from the flatness

That threatens this tune

Dance with me stardust

And forget-me-nots

in June

Repelling the winds

That rob this

too

soon.

Joni James

To Run Away

  

I want to run away from home

And this boring life

While the television hums

In the backdrop of every day

I dream of places and things

I haven't yet known

As I roam these 

All too familiar walls

Where their comfort

No longer satisfies

And these floors 

Are worn with grooves

From my restless feet

Gazing now out this window

And reaching as far as my eyes can see

I can't seem to find the pull

I need to be free.

Too Late

 

Walking down 

the other side of the street

Makin' sure our paths don't meet

Draggin' my baggage on sidewalk's cracks

Tellin' me don't look back

All the signs read

What I should've known

And now my cover's blown

Chances, lies, frozen, alone

My feet forsaking my brain

Goin' down the drain

now

It's too late

For licking my pain
