Our Secret

Brown eyes and gold hair
sometimes I wish I could meet you there
there where life is not like this
would never hide a single kiss
Perhaps some place where you could be
that's not here, not him, not me
You would laugh and you would cry
you would smile, and make us sigh
You would be a happiness then
because before you it would all make sense
But here is not the place for you
I'm sorry, my sweetheart, but that is true
It may not be right, it is not fair
I'll never see your brown eyes, or your golden hair
A happiness you could be still
but that chance is lost
you never will

Home II

Sometimes in life
you find yourself adrift
Far away and alone
from all that you know

I have been lost
in unfamiliar places
To think I was so lucky
to instantly meet you

You are warmth
and you are joy
You are safety
and you are support
You're a hand to hold
and a smile to greet
You are exactly
what I need

An instant connection
between me and you
Far away
from all I know
Your gentle eyes told me
I was not alone

Despite all the confusion
now I carry on
You are my safe harbour
and you are my new home
