[Soaring Feather]

The sanctuary held a lover's hope
a life of living two as one
the light dimmed we know not why
eyes drifted away
was it in the light of day
or the soft dimmed light of dusk
when the light went out
and took with it my will to live
you did not want what I had to give

And drowned the lover's dream
in salty tears and cry me a river
has been done
saying goodbye
has not been fun

the dawn of my day
the blackest of my nights
do not compare to lights out
now that you're not here...

Oh, my, feather .. what a wonderful counterpart you've written!

[Colonel_Flagg]

I retreat upon myself
My head in my hands
My spirit ground to dust
But you are not alone.

Perfidy rules your mind
The smile that caresses your face
Is earned at the cost
Of my despair.

Forget? Forgive? I can do but one
The harder of the two
Is to forget your face
Strength for the other comes from God.

You said we'd never be alone
But little did I know
That tonight, my head in my hands
You meant it just for you.
