AEIOUM

[Red Reine]

Baby - the way you smile, you make my knees grow weak,
I can't wait to see you tomorrow, please don't say next week,
I wanna hold you oh-so-tight, squeeze you in my arms,
Kiss you all over - no way, honey - I can't stay calm.

You're like sweet summer rain, drenching all around,
Rainbows and popsicles, cotton candy and unicorns,
You push all the right buttons - sugar, you set off all my horns,
I'm 'bout to blast off 't stratosphere, take a tour 'round the world.

Cuz I'm flyin' with Cupid among the stars,
(Light as a feather, singing together)
Cuz I'm done moonwalkin' from Venus to Mars,
(Bright is the weather, sunshine forever)

The sound of your laughter is like music to my ears,
Your puppy dog eyes could melt the polar caps to tears,
That electric touch sends shivers up my spine,
I wish to heaven you're true - could this be a sign?

Cuz I'm flyin' with Cupid among the stars,
(Light as a feather, singing together)
Cuz I'm done moonwalkin' from Venus to Mars,
(Bright is the weather, sunshine forever)

When we hold hands, I feel your heart pulse through mine,
Doors glide open, birds start chirping,
Children smile Cherub as we walk past hoping,
Butterflies in my belly, your face is sublimely divine.

Cuz I'm flyin' with Cupid among the stars,
(Light as a feather, singing together)
Cuz I'm done moonwalkin' from Venus to Mars,
(Bright is the weather, sunshine forever)

Cuz I'm flyin' with You among the stars,
(Light is the measure, when we're together)
Cuz I'm done lone walkin' nears or afars,
(Bright is the future, you and me forever)

They say, never say never, but I never expected you,
Someone who could melt my heart, split my soul in two,
I lay awake at night, dreaming of nothing but your caress,
No rest for the wicked, do I need to confess?

I walk past the October rust and November rain,
Through the darkest Winter, there I wait forevermore,

Light pierces the darkest reaches of me,
Slices my senses, opens the gates unknown,
Emotional crush riffs the music of my being,
Beating my chest - beckoning - begging for release.

I've never felt this way about anyone before,
Someone I longingly need, like the air we breathe.
The one who holds the key to the locket of my heart,
Vulnerably willing, wishing upon a star.

I walk past the October rust and November rain,
Through the darkest Winter, there I wait forevermore,

Light pierces the darkest reaches of me,
Slices my senses, opens the gates unknown,
Emotional crush riffs the music of my being,
Beating my chest - beckoning - begging for release.

When we hold each other, the world vanishes into nothingness,
Raging storm and ring of fire cannot compare to our desire,
You and me here are meant to last forever,
Nothing else matters, there's no one better.

I walked past the October rust and November rain,
Through the darkest Winter, there I waited forevermore,

Light pierced the darkest reaches of me,
Sliced my senses, opened the gates to the unknown,

I walked past the October rust and November rain,
Through the darkest Winter, there I waited forevermore,

Emotional crush riffed the music of my being,
There I begged you not to release my open heart.

The alarm bell rings, and the final whistle blows,
The last boarding call, to fly away from home.
You and I were an item - once upon a time,
But that time is now over, we must say our goodbye.

We'll still be friends, won't we my dear?
When we see each other on the street - with someone else?
We'll revisit the old places to capture the old magic,
Somehow they'll never be the same, no - not without you.

We used to hold hands everywhere we go,
You made us feel so special, I never felt alone,
We gave all we had and yet it was never enough,
We're not right for each other, I know that's rough.

We shared this journey together, through the thick and the thin,
We grew together too, but we also grew apart.
I'm a different person now - and so are you,
You're a part of my life - an important one, I know...

We'll still be friends, won't we my sweet?
When we see each other on the street - holding someone else?
We'll revisit the old haunts where our ghosts still lie,
Both of us knowing they'll never be the same, no - not without you.

We used to hold hands wherever we go,
You made me feel so special, I never felt alone,
You gave all you had and yet it was never enough,
We're not right for each other, I know that's tough.

There'll always be a place in my heart, this is how I feel,
For the memories of you and I, of the chapters left behind,
The pains and the joys, the laughs and the crys,
They're all closed now, my heart for you is now closed.

We'll still be friends, won't we mon cheri?
When we see each other on the street - holding back the tears?
We'll revisit the history upon the canvas of our tale,
Our story dissolving in time into legend, dead - without you.

We used to hold hands - often for show,
We felt so special, you could never be alone,
I gave all I had and yet it was never enough,
We're not right for each other, I know, but I've had enough.

[Blueback]

Raindrops fall bittersweet upon my lighted windowpane,
Wound tight barely holding the dam of my torrent,
Halls echo empty and hollow - tapestries torn, paintings broken,
My faith lies shattered; what happened?

We used to be so happy together, weren't we? (weren't we?)
Everything was so perfect, wasn't it? (wasn't it?)
Was is something I did, was it something I said?
Could it have been any different? I'll never know.
All I have now is this sharp aching heart.

I lie awake at night howling at the moon,
I scream your name in the corridors of my dreams,
It hurts to think of you, you're my never-ending nightmare,
Please leave me alone; I want to forget you...

We used to be so right for each other, weren't we? (weren't we?)
Everything just clicked into place, didn't it? (didn't it?)
Was is just me, was I only dreaming?
Could it have been any different? I'll never know.
All I have now is this harsh blistered heart.

I walk our empty streets, full of strangers - blurry faces,
There I see phantoms who remind me of you,
Sometimes I think you're among them, and I hope you come calling,
But I know deep down you're gone; I need to let you go...

We used to have fun together, didn't we? (didn't we?)
Everything was so enchanting, wasn't it? (wasn't it?)
Was it all for show, did you care at all?
Could it have been any different? I'll never know.
All I have now is this scar tissued heart.

We were made for each other, weren't we? (weren't we?)
Everything was going so well, wasn't it? (wasn't it?)
Was I wrong about this, did I drive you away?
Could it have been any different? I'll never know.
All I have now is this slowly mending heart.

[Red Reine]

It's been so long since I last held you in my arms,
I forget how good you smell, how fine you look up close,
The way you smile you do - that one just for me,
It's so inviting - to be there - just to be with you.

I searched for you in the deepest depths (in the ocean's deep),
I seeked you out in the highest tops (in the mountain's crest),
I longed for you in the den of beasts (where lions creep),
I cried for you in the hallow's night (where angels blest).

I want you here - with me tonight.
I want you here - here by my side.
I want you to sit - to sit by me.
I want you to (I want you)... I want you to (I miss you)...

I try to remember what it was like, to be with you,
Memory fades with each passing day, sand slipping through,
Gather the pieces to make a resemblant picture,
It was something like this, but more something like that.

I searched for you in the deepest depths (in the shadow's deep),
I seeked you out in the highest tops (in the sunlight's crest),
I longed for you in the den of beasts (where snakes creep),
I cried for you in the hallow's night (where saints blest).

I want you here - with me tonight.
I want you here - here by my side.
I want you to sit - to sit by me.
I want you to (I want you)... I want you to (I miss you)...

No more lonely walks, no more lonely nights, no more waiting,
I can't take it any more. I just can't take it any more.

I want you here - with me tonight.
I want you here - here by my side.
I want you to sit - to sit by me.
I want you to (I want you)... I want you to (I want you)...

[Blueback]

A million miles away adrift on this spinning island,
I watched the ripples of your tidal wave reach my heart,
You're so very far away, and I want to come home,
To you, to be with you and to simply forget the world.

I spent my entire day thinking of you,
Of what it was like, of what it could be,
You're like a shroud over my eyes, all that I could see,
Every sound whispers your name, imploring, alluring.

I've been waiting... waiting... (for you all this time)
I've been missing... missing... (the way you smell beside)
I've been emptied... emptied... (without you filling my nights)
I've been lonely... lonely... (without you by my side)

I'm so tired of being alone, I can't live on anymore,
When the wind catches your scent, let it come this way,
Let me be reminded of you, to take me up from this place,
Even if just for a moment, to carry me away.

I've been wasting... wasting... (for you all this time)
I've been dreaming... dreaming... (the way you smell bedside)
I've been withered... withered... (without you fulfilling my nights)
I've been tearing... tearing... (without you my pride)

I've been calling... calling... (out to you darling)
I've been crying... crying... (for you to come home)
I've been sorry... sorry... (for ever letting you go)
I've been wishing... wishing... (I never let you go)

Please come home, come home to me,
Come to me my sweet baby, let it be, stay with me.

[Red Reine]

Everyday you smile, you beam me your sunshine,
Every hug you give, every compliment you live,
The sweet nothings and everything in between,
Flutters of caresses, kisses of roses.

Seems like yesterday we were yet beginning,
When I tasted your ripe fruit from your gorgeous summer vine,
You're like an exquisite vintage, matured in elegance,
To be enjoyed in full, upon the August divan.

I look back at the road we have traveled,
There I see your footprints alongside mine,
We parted slightly and criss-crossed mildly,
But we did alright, we made our sigil sign.

Heart shaped footprints are what we made,
You and I stamped our marks in our special way,
Cracks and stones we politely bade,
Carried on into the sunset's royal ray.

When the world is set to dampen my day, I can honestly say,
There are no rainy days when you're here, standing right by me.
You make everything better, as if by magic,
Rainbows arise and pierce the sky's grey.

Morning comes when the cock crows late,
Passions please under the silky sheets,
Sends shivers and pleasures in every measure,
Sleep in 'til noon 'till the grand clock high beats.

I look back at the path we have traveled,
There I see your footprints next to mine,
We parted frequently and criss-crossed wildly,
But we did well, we made our totem sign.

Heart shaped footprints are what we made,
You and I cast our marks in our special way,
Cracks and stones on the side we laid,
Carried on into the sunset's last day.

Heart shaped footprints are what we made,
Do you see them? Beyond the hills?
Heart shaped footprints are what we made,
Around the corners, through the ditches?
Heart shaped footprints are what we made,
Over the ramparts, and the beaches?
Heart shaped footprints are what we made,
Our hearts going back all the way?

[Blueback]

Reach out to me, touch me the way,
Touch me the way only you understand,
Those warm hands of caring, of sharing, of loving,
Take away my troubles, the way only you can.

You're the anchor of my reason, the purpose of my life,
You're the hope that burns through my fears,
With you there's nothing to keep us apart,
Two became one, that is what we are,
Leaning and pushing, balancing and holding,
Hands grasping each other,
Hands lifting each other.

After all the years, we have seen through,
I see you, the way I always saw you,
My other half, I have always known you,
Yet you're a mystery to me - a most delicious secret.

You're the oar of my ship, the beacon of my life,
You're the water that washes away my tears,
With you there's no end to the start,
Two became one, that is what we are,
Leaning and pushing, balancing and holding,
Hands playing each other,
Hands feeding each other.

If we were to part, and that day will come,
Know that I will be there, no matter what,
To see you and touch you, to smile and care for you,
Whether here or beyond, it matters not.

You're the sail catching the wind, the mover of my life,
You're the oracle blinding my lying seers,
With you all the stormy clouds readily depart,
Two became one, that is what we are,
Leaning and pushing, balancing and holding,
Hands touching each other,
Hands healing each other.
