she tried...






she came to this place
after lookin'  for some peace
ridin those southwestern winds
like the  bohemian soul
that she was at her core...
she was lookin' for her next adventure,
sure beat puttin' her head in the sand
the sand, leveled by the love she 
thought she knew
but she didn't know a damn thing
cept' that he was cruel

she could put her head in the sand 
become the hermit
but she had a destiny
a vivid dance with
her new fate
that called 
from a far off place
so she roamed the mountains
climbed them
one by one
lookin' over her shoulder
from time to time ~
guess that's to be expected

what was it she ran away from?
what kind of past was hers?
was she loved?
had she left a piece of herself
behind in
some old dusty town?
the one
where he lived
where he turned to stone


she tried
she gave her all
but times were tough
and livin' meant more.



she had no choice
for she was one who lived
who danced beneath the light of the moon
by night and  
under the benevolent sun
by day
she didn't need him anymore
she never did,
and besides, he left long before she did

and God knows
she tried
she gave her all
but times were tough
and livin' meant more.

her soul was tellin' her
she needed to thrive
to make love along the way
to never cry so hard that she
had to assume the fetal position 
and just hide away
no, that wasn't her way
temptin' it was, during those rough spells
but she had too much to do
too much to see
and so much to Believe
it was out there for the takin'

but she knew the secret was not to
take but to give her little heart out

and that ~ all her dreams would make!

loosely lyrics...
*long last look, she's still carryin' that damn baggage ~ maybe, it's time to kick that to the curb!

temper this heart...





she stands
paralyzed
unsure
yet
wanting

she is caught
in the glitz of him

her dreams wandered
took hold, then dissipated
no chance,
no chance of fruition

knowing full well
she should run
make haste
temper this desire
this need
to be near, him

for he has not proven himself to her
he has not shown that she can let go
she feels frozen in time
in that time of loving him
she remembers, 
all too well...

chained
in this space
this wanton space

she wants to let go
she wants to understand
this limbo,
this grey space
with so many
broken places

she wants
to be free to love
yet letting go does not
seem an option

she is forever having to
temper her heart...
when all she wants to do....

is to love...
