Bungalow


High above the town below me
Outside our tiny bungalow
Watching those who came before we
Stumbling drunkenly they go

Freeze our minds to see the moment
Of feeling wind against our feet
I’ll place that moment in my thoughts
To use when I’m old and wrinkly

I’ll never forget how you looked
When you came falling through that door
Our laughter filling every nook
And reaching down into the floor

We’ll keep our piece of heaven safe
Locked inside the depths of our chest
Good thing we’ve got a year to make
Our exit by way of arrest.

Second Love

My love is in a foreign land
I'm too shy to walk down his street.
Until the moment we first glanced,
I'd never dreamt a dream so sweet.

Between me and my love's a sea -
as crowds of people watch and stare
they wonder if he'll swim to me,
but he does not know that I'm there.

My love and I are worlds apart,
I hear him in the other room.
Maybe one day our paths will cross,
I only hope it happens soon.
