Leave-Taking
I do not know where either of us can turn
Just at first, waking from the sleep of each other.
I do not know how we can bear
The river struck by the gold plummet of the moon,
Or many trees shaken together in the darkness.
We shall wish not to be alone
And that love were not dispersed and set free—
Though you defeat me,
And I be heavy upon you.
But like earth heaped over the heart
Is love grown perfect.
Like a shell over the beat of life
Is love perfect to the last.
So let it be the same
Whether we turn to the dark or to the kiss of another;
Let us know this for leavetaking,
That I may not be heavy upon you,
That you may blind me no more.

Heavy Heart
Heavy heart think of yesterday
And you're torn apart
Thinking of the ways it was easier to smile
More than today love grew wild
Heavy heart like a perfect stranger
You make it hard
Taking all the blame - still you hear the sound
Calling your name - troubles coming down
Too heavy
Turn it around
It's pressing me down
Heavy heart
This time I find
It weighs on my mind
Heavy heart
It's just like you to take it all so far
Then you feel abused and wonder who you are
Everything you've done - anything you start
Can turn and run
Ain't it true - it's only just a stage
Gotta give it room - start an empty page
Get back in the game - but do it your way
You don't have to play so heavy
Turn it around
It's pressing me down
Heavy heart
This time I find
It weighs on my mind
Heavy heart
When your heart is strong it leads you on
But when it breaks you
It devastates you for so long
Turn it around
It's pressing me down
Heavy heart
This time I find
It weighs on my mind
Heavy heart
Turn it around
It's pressing me down
Heavy heart
This time I find
It weighs on my mind
Heavy heart

kiss.....kiss
The kiss was two hearts in the warmth.
The kiss was two hearts enjoyed each other.
The kiss was fate in the love.
The kiss was love fire.
The kiss completed the life.
You kissed because of the love.
I kissed because of the longing.
The kiss was two speaking hearts mutually.
Kiss....please I'want to kissed.
The kiss planed the love in the love.
The kiss described all the colours of the rainbow in the heart.
The kiss maintained loyalty.
The kiss escaped from the sadness.
The kiss was the friend in solitude.
The kiss was to introduce us in the belief.
The kiss mixed all the feelings.
The kiss decorated the world.
Did you want to feel the kiss to be perfect?
The perfect kiss must with the love.
The perfect kiss must with the sincerity.
The perfect kiss must with the wish.
The perfect kiss must despise the belief on the love.
The perfect kiss must with the prayer.
The perfect kiss God bless you.
Perfect
Love is the drug we're blessed and cursed,
I could feel the hunger burst inside of you
Perfect body, perfect skin
There is no perfect anything
I tried hard to be the perfect one
but it's not enough, it's not enough
Welcome to my execution
In the name of love, in the name of love
[Chorus:]
Turn up your radio love is king
And everything will be beautiful
Turn up your radio forget that sting
And everything will be beautiful
Love's got a dirty mind love can bite
I forget that sometimes love's a parasite
Hail hail Mary full of grace
You disappeared without a trace
I needed your hand to lead me through this fire
But you let it go, you let it go
Where's my absolution
I really don't know, I really don't know
[Chorus:]
Turn up your radio love is king
And everything will be beautiful
Turn up your radio forget that sting
And everything will be beautiful
Hey, hey, my, my,
I said my perfect love will never die
Perfect love, perfect sin there is no perfect anything
We tear each other limb from limb
in the name of God in the name of love
There's only two choices sink or swim
I wish I was perfect, for you
[Chorus:]
Turn up your radio love is king
And everything will be beautiful
Turn up the radio forget that sting
And everything will be beautiful
Turn up your radio love is king
And everything will be
And everything will be beautiful

Heavy Fuel
Last time I was sober, man I felt bad
Worst hangover that I ever had
It took six hamburgers and scotch all night
Nicotine for breakfast just to put me right
cos if you wanna run cool
If you wanna run cool
If you wanna run cool, you got to run
On heavy, heavy fuel
My life makes perfect sense
Lust and food and violence
Sex and money are my major kicks
Get me in a fight I like dirty tricks
cos if you wanna run cool
Yes if you wanna run cool, you got to run
On heavy, heavy fuel
My chick loves a man whos strong
The things shell do to turn me on
I love the babes, dont get we wrong
Hey, thats why I wrote this song
I dont care if my liver is hanging by a thread
Dont care if my doctor says I ought to be dead
When my ugly big car wont climb this hill
Ill write a suicide note on a hundred dollar bill
cos if you wanna run cool
If you wanna run cool
Yes if you wanna run cool, you got to run
On heavy, heavy fuel

Perfect Love
Theres a light that shines on
Everyone tonight
But it seems were just too blind to see
Theres a love thats so deep
We should never want
But do we really know what we need?
I never thought there would be
Someone whod mean so much to me
In my mind there was no
Such thing as perfect love
But now Im holding you tonight
And I can see that you were right
To believe there can be perfect love
You can live your whole life trying to avoid
Being hurt, like youve been hurt before
Then oneday you may wake up
And feel a love so strong
That you cant hold it back anymore
I never thought that there could be
Someone whod mean so much to me
In my mind there was no
Such thing as perfect love
But now Im holding you so tonight
And I can see that you were right
To believe there could be perfect love
Ever since you called my name
Nothings ever been the same
I want to give my heart to you
And your perfect love so true
Oh your perfect love
But now youre here with me tonight
And I can see that you were right
To believe there can be perfect love

Perfect Love
(stephony smith/sunny russ)
Sunday mornin when the paper comes
Lets read it front to back and see whats going on
Drink our coffee by the flower bed and talk about the stuff
Thats running through our heads
When you look at me the way you do
I cant help but look right back at you
Yeah, this is a perfect love
Were doin nothin but what a perfect love does
Were not tryin to make history
Its just you and me
In a perfect love
Hey, lets drive to the edge of town
See what there is to see and turn back around
Stop by and see your mom and dad
And hear em talk about the busy week they had
Then lets take a walk beside the lake
See what kinda fun we can make
Yeah, this is a perfect love
Were doin nothin but what a perfect love does
Were not tryin to make history
Its just you and me
In a perfect love
Oh, aint it a perfect love
I know you love me just because
Yeah, this is a perfect love
Were doin nothin but what a perfect love does
Were not tryin to make history
Its just you and me
In a perfect love
This is a perfect love
In a perfect love
Yeah, we got a perfect love

Perfect Part 2
I don’t need perfect cloth
I don’t need perfect hair
What I need is a confidence
I don’t need perfect score
I don’t need perfect job
What I need is a support
I don’t need perfect word
I don’t need perfect dream
What I need is a chance
I don’t need perfect agreement
I don’t need perfect control
What I need is a solution
I don’t need perfect holiday
I don’t need perfect memories
What I need is a peace of mind
I don’t need perfect home
I don’t need perfect family
What I need is a comfort
I don’t need perfect love
I don’t need perfect life
What I need is an understanding

Turn it up, turn it up, turn it upside down
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it upside down
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it upside down

Love to hear the percussion
Turn it upside down
Love to hear the percussion

Blow horns you sure sound pretty
Your violins keep movin' to the nitty gritty
When you hear the scratch of the guitars scratchin'
Then you'll know that rhythm carries all the action, so
Woah yeah
Turn the beat around
Love to hear the percussion
Turn it upside down
Love to hear the percussion
Love to hear it

Love to hear the percussion

Flute player play your flute 'cause
I know that you want to get your thing off
But you see I've made up my mind about it
It's got to be the rhythm, no doubt about it, woah woah
'Cause when the guitar player start playing
With the syncopated rhythm, with the scratch, scratch, scratch
Makes me wanna move my body yeah, yeah, yeah
And when the drummer starts beating that beat
He nails that beat with the syncopated rhythm
With the rat, tat, tat, tat, tat, tat on the drums, hey
Turn the beat around
Love to hear the percussion
Turn it upside down
Love to hear the percussion
Love to hear it
Love to hear it
Love to hear it

Dark Arrows
Cupid has many arrows
Some wait for Valentines Day
I go where the river flows
Where waters drown me
Do you wait for perfection?
Perfect lovers are so dam boring
She flies with dark daring wings
She hides in castles lit in candles
Now the moon sings like the wind
Nestled in a book where vampires kiss
Moonlight thru the window
Silk and satin stairways
Dungeons and gold ankle chains
Sometimes Cupid plays the Doors
Play that song again and turn it up
Struck with dark arrows

Our perfect vision
I feel your love so hot
On my white skin
Becoming suddenly so reddish
As a reddish-tinged cloud
In front of the full moon
I feel your kisses
Burning me inside
Suddenly
You turn me into someone else
You turn everything
Into intimate
You run into me from yourself
You're into me
It's a big turn
Showing how to turn cheap 'choice'
Steaks into 'prime' steaks
Embodying our love
Embodying a deep connection with
Our souls
An eminently unique cruising
Connection
Creating a destination
Shadows of thoughts trembling in between
Imperfectly perfecting
Our quality of being or becoming perfect
Our act of love becoming a fight
For enlightening
Our perfect vision
And understanding
The real meaning
Of love.

When Love Is Born
in true heart
sincerely love bound
are perfect
golden words first found
in a perfect moment
time intersecting space
awaits perfect place
love spoken heart beat
this is moment of transition
when love comes to fruition
when love breath must be born

Smile for you
I always smile when i think of you
The one for me, who is always true
The one i turn to
Whatever happened you help me through
I smile for you
I stand perfect in your stength alone
Five years so much weve grown
Take me call me your own
Together we could never be alone
I smile for you
When im sinking in the sand
Only you can understand
You never judge never brand
With you on my feet i always land
I smile for you
My love for you is blind
With it my heart is lined
All around it twined
Eternally there to bind
I smile for you
I'll give you all i have the good the bad
You are the best thing ive ever had
We didnt burn out like a childish fad
For this i am more than glad
I smile for you
I will break into your thoughs
With whats written on my heart
Even though we my be worlds apart
Its worth it all from the start
I smile for you
We will turn out right
Even if its dark we are in the light
Forever together walking where it is bright
Fingers entwined ever so tight
I smile for you
I just want to love you
The again thats nothing new
A long time ago those feelings grew
I know you feel it too
I smile for you

My Love Is Not Perfect
My love is not perfect.
It does not flawlessly sail the seven seas
It clears no mount in single bound
No epic stuff this
My love is not perfect.
Threats may not be seen
Predators may be invited unwittingly
My love is not perfect.
It is often blind to dangerous flaws
It can be the staircase of a catastrophic fall
My love is not perfect.
It can hurt unknowingly
And injure me fatally
Yet this imperfect love
Brings forth my best 'me'
Without this love
I could not be.
This imperfect love is strength
For imperfect me.

Perfect Little Heart
When I think about it
Does anybody win
Taking for yourself and giving nothing
Now that were apart
I see it wasnt really love
I can ride down the road
And let my soul run free
You may think it over
But no matter what you say
Youre talking to yourself
And getting nowhere
There aint no second chances
No reason to pretend
Im gonna ride down the road
And let my soul run free
Now that weve grown apart
It seems so very sad
Why did it turn so bad and I remember
You said that all good things
Must surely end
Never mind all the hearts
That lie broken
I know Ill never make
The same mistake again
I doesn matter what you say
Now I think about it
We all need a little time
cause if we aint got love
We aint got nothing
The doors are opened wide
On my one and only life
Gonna ride down the road
And let my soul run free
I know Ill never make
The same mistake again
But I will always be your friend
Now that weve grown apart
It seems so very sad
Why did it turn so bad and I remember
And I remember
Let my soul run free
Let my soul run free
Did I break your perfect little heart

What's Not to Love in Perfection
You know I love you
Yet you seem not to notice
When I smile at you
You turn away
What's wrong?
I'm beautiful
I'm strong
I'm intelligent
I'm athletic
I'm funny
In a word; perfect
You know I love you
Yet you ignore me when I speak
You make short conversation
We hardly speak
Or see eachother
Because you turn a blind eye to my love
Why?
I sing
I dance
I write
I play sports
I act
In a word; perfect
You're funny
You play sports
You like to laugh
You inhabit my dreams
You inhabit my thoughts
You are the air I breathe
You are the smile on my lips
You are the laughter in my eyes
You are the sunlight I see
You are the only thing I need
You are the black hole in my atmosphere
In a word; perfect

Turn Up The Sun
I carry madness
Everywhere I go
Over a border
And back to the snow
So if you see me
And I look right through
You shouldnt take it
As a reflection of you
Come on, Turn up the sun
Turn it up for everyone
Love one another
Love one another
The boys in the bubble
They wanna be free
And they got so blind
That they cannot see
But Im not your keeper
I dont have the key
I got a piano
I can't find the C
Come on, Turn up the sun
Turn it up for everyone
Love one another
Love one another

He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother
The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where
Who knows when
But I'm strong
Strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
So on we go
His welfare is of my concern
No burden is he to bear
We'll get there
For I know
He would not encumber me
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
If I'm laden at all
I'm laden with sadness
That everyone's heart
Isn't filled with the gladness
Of love for one another
It's a long, long road
From which there is no return
While we're on the way to there
Why not share
And the load
Doesn't weigh me down at all

He's my brother
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
