Don Mann: Focusing on my Craft

Saturday, Oct. 25, 2003 - 2:49 a.m.

Alsace...Joliette...Laval

The signs seem to slowly pass me by

I am filled to the brim with raw emotion

What lies beyond can show me why

~~~

Slowing down...taking the turn

I wait for the fourth on the right

I know seeing your face again

will be the event that makes my night

~~~

I know that if I hadn't seen you

I'd have spent all night thinking about it

I know that if I hadn't felt your touch

I would have spent all night dreaming it

~~~

I know that if I could find the words

I could really make you see

I am certain that without you here

I'd be a fraction of the man I want to be

~~~

Yet words are merely symbols

For the things we feel inside

For you I'd tear my flesh wide open

To reveal the true feelings that it hides

~~~

And now you're purring in my arms

A gentle sleep you can seldom find

I'm staring at the candles burning all around

Loathing the thought of you leaving this all behind

~~~

The way back is always intolerable

I know what the rest of my night has in store

A quiet night of pouring my heart out in words

And forgetting all about the man I was before

Delve Into The Past - Onward Into The Future
