The Haunted Heart (1996)

True Love

Between the Lines

If Only I Wouldn't Cry

The River

Magic

The Haunted Heart



True Love
Well I thought I'd seen everything
High atop the mountain
Then down by the waterfall
I thought I'd seen it all

While flying with the birds up high
I caught a glimpse of heaven
Then down on the rocks below
I learned it wasn't so

Because true love
Is mightier than a mountain
Wider than the sky
Stronger than a river
Brighter than starlight
True love

Well I thought I'd seen everything
Right outside my window
The rainbows and the sunsets
And the moonlight on the hill

But after all is said and done
There's always one thing better
I haven't seen the likes of true love
And maybe never will

True love
Is mightier than a mountain
Wider than the sky
Stronger than a river
Brighter than starlight
True love

Between the Lines (Play)
Isn't anybody listening?
Doesn't anybody care?
You can read,
But can you read between the lines?

It is more than just a hobby
In the lobby of lost souls
It's a congregational
Meeting of the minds

On the cyber-Serengeti
There are predators and prey
Some are seeking, some are lost,
And some are found

And for every heart that's bleeding
There's a bleeding dozen more
They who suffer
Without making any sound

Isn't anybody listening?
Doesn't anybody care?
You can read,
...But can you read between the lines?

If Only I Wouldn't Cry (Play)
I've been up late
Thinking about you
Wondering if you ever think of me

I've been healing
This hole in my soul
Without a remedy

I've been waking up tired
Pouring down coffee
And dragging my bones to town

I've been lying
By wearing this smile
Concealing a frown

I'll be okay
If only I can get through another day
If only my heart wouldn't feel this way
If only my mind could be satisfied
If only I wouldn't cry

I've been going downtown
Walking the streets
Terminally seeking a cure

Let me tell you
If killing time was a crime
I'd be hanging for sure

I'll be okay
If only I can get through another day
If only my heart wouldn't feel this way
If only my mind could be satisfied
If only I knew how to feel good inside
If only I wouldn't cry.

The River (Play)
I was warming in the sun down by a river
Like I very often do
Separating all the fantasies from daydreams
Yes, I do that often, too

It occurred to me...our lives are like the water
On a journey to the sea
Sometimes calm and sometimes violently churning
Sometimes falling, just like me

And when creatures come to drink life from the water
They give life to other life
Just like souls who drink the water from each other
They're trying only to survive

Magic
Are you telling the whole truth
When you say you don't feel a thing?
While your mind's in a quandary
And your fingers are trembling?

Don't you crave a slice of paradise
With a beverage on a tray?
Aren't you hungry for an antidote
To your ordinary day?

Magic
Magic
Magic
Magic

Are you telling the whole truth
When you say you don't believe
In something you cannot touch
In something you cannot see?

While the comets cut the midnight sky
Like a razor from above
And the full moon casts its spell
On the helpless souls in love

Magic
Magic
Magic
Magic

The Haunted Heart
Two souls were joined together
In another time and place
Forged into one
Forever by Grace

Then came the war in Heaven
Tearing them in two
Born into a mortal life
Brand new

Two souls once joined together
Each seeks the half it lost
Living to find each other
At any cost

Two souls once joined together
Die struggling apart
Suffering the pain
Of a haunted heart
