One Lost Dream

Your name is written upon my soul
Sweetness flows through my veins
Dwelling in my blood
Singing of ages lost and hollow
Now painted with wishes ablaze
One lost dream of being loved…

Your name tastes like burnt salt
Ashes on my tongue
Sweet dew of wine
Never forlorn through a lifetime
One lost dream of being loved

You paint this world
As you see it
According your great vision
Paying no heed
At anyone’s words
You live for your own decisions

Somewhere at the edge of sundown
I saw you once
You sang in golden light
That song dwelt with a great symphony
Above the sea it flew with the wind

One dream bloomed then in me
I loved in pain and tears
Never being loved sincerely
I wished to feel needed
Wish still to be loved for what I was born to be

You sing verse by verse
And it flows through me
Burning within
Blooming with a dream
One only dream to be loved
To be never in hurt

In time so right I found you
A heart full of dreams and fire
Both we dwell in desire’s bloom
I feel you are not a betrayer, nor a liar
So take me for my truth
And be the one
My dream and love
