Words and Music
©1998 B. Brubaker

The sounds of Summer
fade fast away
and like your laughter
you couldn't stay
There may not be much
that's left to say
'cept I don't know -
    how I'll get past - this day

I called your name
and you appeared
you took my hand
and made it clear
A question answered
by your warm lips
an invitation -
    without words - I couldn't miss

and there's a burning, empty place
    you never knew it -
but you always filled that space
baby there's a burning, empty place
Sometimes I wish that
I had never
seen your face

Your Song is sweet
it fills my heart
but echoes sadly
as you depart
It haunts my nights
invades my days
like a shadow -
    can't be touched - yet never fades

(Lead break)

You'll go your way
and I'll go mine
The pain today
will heal in time
You'll find someone - and-
    you'll find yourself
but don't forget girl -
    I wanted you - and nothing else
