SKETCHES - LYRICS

BLOOD PRINTS:

There’s no reason to get dressed up,
I will love you anyway,
Don’t be shy, or embarrassed,
I’d still proudly call your name,

But if I never saw you again,
I’d still think of you every day,
When my body starts to shut down from age,
I will speak of you fondly ‘til I pass away.

They say God loves all of his children,
But I wouldn’t be surprised if he loved you the best,
And I’d take all I’ve said, I would take all I’ve said,
And sign it in a letter with a blood print,
You only deserve the best.

FOREST OF LOVERS:
You’re come down,
Is the kindest fall I know,
Don’t be sorry, it’s the way something’s have to go,
Surrounded by the warmness of your tone,
But I can learn to adjust,
When it’s gone and I am on my own,
The wilderness of young love,
Is embedded and will always stay,
Some things you just can’t forget,
Some endings are not a mistake,

I will grow, I will nurse the earth,
Recreate, a forest I shared with you,
That flourished when shared with you.

WINDMILL:
I know nothing of the books you talk about,
Now my interest fades,
Feels like sunlights on my hearts exposed reel of film,
And it starts to decay,
Even if I try to speak to you the sentences all fall short,
It’s not a conversation if you’re the only one who talks,

I’m not lacking my devotion,
To keep this windmill still in motion,
But I know it’s not going strong,

You’ve done all the introductions but I don’t care about your friends,
A feeling all to overwhelming and I’m just to shy to content,
Now you can cover all your essence up in a thin veneer,
There’s nothing to you now,
No, there’s nothing really here.


THE SEA CHANGE:
Inspire is all you’ve done,
I could want for no other to share my time,
As the temperatures drop I find,
A loving warm body to lay beside,

Oh, you are some wonderful,
Who deserves something beautiful,
I know that you will find it,
And I hope you do.

The loving nature that I’ve been shown,
Keeps me feeling secure, safe, and warm.
Unlike all the others I have known,
You have given me a sea change and I thank you,
I’m honoured to even know you.
