When I Get Like This

 


Been playing music that I love
it's soothing to my soul
Sometimes when I get moved like this
the pen looks for a scroll...

 

Thoughts and memories flood my mind
and faces stop to stare
But just as I begin to smile
they fly off in the air...

 

From where they come, I do not know
their visits touch my heart
Pulling sighs from off my lips
as they turn to depart...

 

Im free from most of yesterday
but one still shines within
Her shrine exists for me alone
to visit now and then...

 

The music ends and silence reigns
its time to go to bed
I might not hold you anymore
in dreams, we dance instead...
