The Conversation

The Conversation This song started out as the two opening chords. I played them over and over again knowing that the opening line was approaching. Closer and closer the longer I played. Then one morning, they arrived, as if born fully-fledged. Now, I don’t know whether this love song is dedicated to a non-existent ideal, or to a distant memory, or to someone I’ve met but did not quite recognize. I don’t know whether the one-way conversation is aimed at dream or reality, distant or not. All I know is that when I wrote the words I meant every single one of them from the bottom of my heart. ____________________ The Words: It’s all I can do to keep myself from falling apart I see your face in a thousand different places And though I know it was long ago this dream refuses to part And I still look for the faintest trace to light the way and to lead me back to the long-lost light of my heart For in my sky you laugh and twinkle bright in every star yet so far yet so far It’s a one way conversation a little strange I know and in a voice unsuitable to hoisting We were not meant to ever part so when we had to let go it didn’t leave a choice for me but to trace the light of a wind you sighed in a sky you knew I would know For in my thoughts you see and soothe me sensitive and true shining through shining through Down my darkened aeon I have loved none other than you It’s been your eyes that have shown me all my guises that’s why I keep on trying all these words to help me shine through and as they rise I imagine they will find their wings and will find your wind and will find a harboring view for in my dream you care and comfort me and all I knew to be true to be true And in my sky you laugh and twinkle bright in every star still so far still so far Ulf Wolf February 1998/June 2015 Copyright © 2015 by Wolfstuff
