RI'S GARDENS
by way of introduction
I might try to explain
the vision of her beauty
brought pleasure to my pain
few ever were so playful
so honest or so free
and after all this time
she is still a part of me
dear memory
dear Ri
now what was I about to say
the moment you sailed away
as I ran home to nothing
broken dreams just laughed
why didn't I keep in touch
maybe you wanted too much
and I still had unresolved
time I photographed
I wasn't ready
for someone as big as you
so honest with your need
so free with your love
I was still homesick
for a dream that didn't come true
little did I know you were
what I was dreaming of
now I think maybe I'm feeling the need
feels like dying when I am alone
setting off all alarms
I feel the aching of the unshared seed
and all I want to be is
in somebody's arms
the sun calls me only to burn
yet I can not resist
the vision of her beauty
memories of being kissed
being blinded by her brightness
is no excuse and yet
still after all this time
I can not forget
dear memory
dear regret
I'm falling
falling
falling
now what was I about to say
when music refused to play
as I ran home to nothing
blinded by my tears
I couldn't understand
you can't go home again
but somehow I still feel it
when I remember when
I wasn't ready
for someone as real as you
so honest with your need
so free with your love
I was still homesick
for a love that didn't come true
little did I know you were
what I was dreaming of
now I think maybe I'm feeling the need
feels like dying when I am alone
setting off all alarms
I feel the aching of the unshared seed
and all I want to be is
in somebody's arms
by way of introduction
I might try to explain
the vision of her beauty
brought pleasure to my pain
few ever were so playful
so honest or so free
and after all this time
she is still a part of me
dear memory
dear Ri
so dear
so true
so real
dear Ri
Dear Ri
