            i can feel the dreams that love is made of
            filling up my heart again
            and i can see just what i'm afraid of
            i don't want to lose, but then...

            i'm weaving patterns in the dark with a cigarette
            trying very hard to forget
            how young we are and how much
            we don't know about each other yet

            i held you in my arms last night
            and i cried until it hurt me
            deep down inside
            because i had no way
            to be sure you cared
            if i would drown
            in this deep sea of love
            i'm sinking in.

            when i was a little boy
            i'd hug my pillow every night
            and dream
            what it would be like
            to hold you

            i can feel how very different we are
            and it's hard to see why we met
            and i know that this could be
            a sad affair
            but i can't let you go
            just yet.

8)   oh, my friend  -     



            oh, my friend,
            how blind is it possible to be
            when i can see such strength in you


            and yet i must stand by
            and see you hurt yourself
            and so hurt me, and others, too


            and if i could only
            reach out to you tonight
            and hold a mirror
            to your face...

            but i know that you
            would only turn me back
            what you have lost
            i know that i cannot replace


            yet even without wanting to
            you have given so much to me
            so much, that i must stand
            in awe of you

            and if i could shine my light
            as you have shone for me
            it would be all
            i could wish to do

            and if i could put into the scale that gold
            that would set this tilted balance right,
            and if  i could divide all the treasures of my heart
            i would give the half of them to you tonight.

            so much beauty surrounds you, my friend
            and yet i see that you cannot feel it
            i wish i could show you
            how to take it your arms
            and let you see
            that no one will steal it

            but oh, this is not reality
            and so the words remain unspoken
            but even if you cannot
            return my love for you
            i give you this song
            as my token.
