Everyday

Early morning breaks like a shattered heart
The winds now know the feelings carried deep inside
Thoughts of flying away will not depart
Night closes in like trust broken between two
The moon cries hollow tears as the range of emotions collide
Dreams packed away not to be seen again
Forgetting hurt is never easy when happiness appears from a family new
Memories fade
Voice unchanged
And still love remains

elephants.....rachel yamagata

If the elephants have past lives 

yet are destined to always remember
It's no wonder how they scream 
Like you and I they must have some temper

And I am dreaming of them on the plains
Dirtying up their beds
Watching for some sign of rain to cool 

their hot heads

And how dare that you send me that card

when I'm doing all that I can do
You are forcing me to remember

when all I want is to just forget you

If the tiger shall protect her young 

then tell me how did you slip by
All my instincts have failed me for once
I must have somehow slept the whole night

And I am dreaming of them with their kill
Tearing it all apart
Blood dripping from their lips 

and teeth sinking into heart

And how dare that you say you'll call 
When you know I need some peace of mind
If you have to take sides with the animals 
Won't you do it with one who is kind

And if the hawks in the trees need the dead
If you're living you don't stand a chance
For a time though you share the same bed
There are only two ends to this dance

You can flee with your wounds just in time 

or lie there as he feeds
Watching yourself ripped to shreds 

and laughing as you bleed

So for those of you falling in love 

keep it kind
Keep it good
Keep it right
Throw yourself in the midst of danger 

but keep one eye open at night
