Lying here, watching stars, feeling tears running down my face Wishing you, wishing I that we were here Holding hands
Ah-ooh you lift me higher Without you the sky’s on fire
I don’t want to be alone anymore I just can’t describe How it feels to get close to you Oh-oh-oho, Oh-oh-oho Like a rainbow
The night is beautiful The stars are brighter than ever And yet I stand here all alone Watching the waves crashing
Ah-ooh you lift me higher Without you the sky’s on fire And it burns and it turns My heart to ashes For I won’t bear to not share the night
I don’t want to be alone anymore I just can’t describe How it feels to lay close to you Oh-oh-oho, Oh-oh-oho Like a rainbow
I heard a voice through a seashell Singing I belong to you And when I look into your eyes I can tell That you’ve come to love me too
I don’t want to be alone anymore I just can’t describe How it feels to get close to you Oh-oh-oho, Oh-oh-oho Like a rainbow
Hold me now A-Oh, A-Oh, how you feeling now? Hey you, hey you, do you feel like I? Whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna say? Standing under that burning sky I can see you looking over It’s me …
I need a moment to get away from the ugliness and the pettiness of life. Life is good but there are so many out there, in different positions of power and many “common folk” trying to bring it down and make it “bad” for all.
Nature soothes me. Music soothes me. If only for a moment before the reality and ugliness return.
We humans are creating the ugliness that has never been intended to be in life.
It’s all on us.
