(lyric) goodbye, my love {these glances}
by Richard Paezin these glances, these momentary pauses
in the way the light falls across those leaves
in this extinguished candles smoke
in the hope of my lament's last note
in the hum of this drugs caress
in your eyes I remember
the hint, just a glance
of goodbye, my love
and maybe tomorrow will be a brighter day
or maybe just another habitual cliché
to drop like this weight from my shoulders
oh, watch me pick it up again
carry it just a little farther
like theres some horizon
some line I could cross
to give it all meaning
some kind of purpose
oh, watch me pick it up again
carry it just a little farther
like theres some point
some excuse I could use
to satisfy this hunger
just a little longer
and maybe tomorrow will be a brighter day
or maybe just another habitual cliché
to drop like this weight from my shoulders
and maybe tomorrow there will be less pain
so we can touch again
and I can finally say {how
in these glances,
these momentary pauses
in the way the light falls across those leaves
in your eyes I remember
the hint, just a glance
of} goodbye, my love 03/13/2004 Author's Note: This is definitely meant for music, but any comments on the words will be highly appreciated. Yes, this is very inspired by Dave Matthews, with a little Manard James Keenan for structure...

| Posted by Michele Schottelkorb on 03/14/04 at 09:22 AM melancholy and lovely in the same breath... encompassing many aspects to a fallen love... great write... and being inspired by DMB, i can only imagine what it would sound like in song... blessings... |
