A Past Journey Between the Lyrics . . .
Where is my love? I’m looking everywhere. She’s not here.
There are no clues just another day crawling forward into the fog rolling through the streets of the city. It’s cold and wet, the sun has abandoned the day and is heading into an inky velvet darkness.
Where is she? Will we ever meet again? Will it be a surprise as we come around a corner or somewhere along our trodden path that wound through our lonely city days and nights?
I want to feel your arms around me, I want to feel your heartbeat echoing mine and feel that we have found love again.
I know the emptiness of what love is without you; will love return, will you return, will we ever love again?
The mind spins in circles, jumbled thoughts and images randomly swirl about, the heart thumps erratically, and my soul searches the emptiness of your absence.
No, you won’t show me love, for love is not here, or anywhere. Love is adrift on an ebb tide. The ship has sailed. There is no return.
The fog’s wet and cold. The night chills to the bone. I begin to walk slowly…
