Taren

they say when you were young, you loved storms
and you'd dance and play in the rain
i see you now under the tears of angels
how did we end up the same?

when we cry we do it outside
so they can't see the tears on our face
why can't we go back to yard where we used to play
and i'd watch you dance in the rain

i knew before i saw her...
...and when i saw her i knew.

we'll dance under the moonlight with the sand beneath our toes
and i'll sing to you a love song as the mood in the air grows
for now i'll sing to a girl who's a thousand days away
like a dream not quite forgotten, it slowly fades away

they say when you were young, you loved storms
i watched you dance in the rain.


[this is the first song i ever wrote, almost ten years ago now. it's the first in a long list of songs about the girls in my life. there's not much to read between the lines in this one and it's a bit cheesy, but give me a break. like i said... first song ever. if i ever get around to making good recordings of these things, i might include them in the blog... but what are the odds of me doing more work than i have to? shrug.]
