Will our love be like the tide, sweeping changes
taking us to distant lands? the beach washed clean
daily...
Will our love be like the rivers eddy, swirling
circles, lazy fish, sparkling sunlight?
Will our love be like the falls? Dropping, wearing,
damned and released at times? A merry pounding sound
with rushing crashing and rocks...
Will our love be like the calm still pool, filled
again by the rains but green and stagnating at times?
Where the bugs and tadpoles breed...
Love can be all those things, and each in its time.
Just give me this.. Enough to float on, and a steady
supply. Don't leave me with thirst to die.
Don't run hot and cold
don't fake meek and suddenly bold
be your authentic self every day
and communicate in a refreshing way
Live in your truth
act like a youth
let your head and heart
each be your guide
and just speak out the truth
what you say matters each day
it also matters
in how you say it
the way you relate or hesitate
speaks volumes on your character
The ghosting of love
stepping away
leaves your partner
to wonder if it was them
pondering within
And though reflection is good
it is much better to be understood
if you detach in healthy ways
tell them what is in your way
A stream easily redirected
was never a true tract
so don't unleash it
don't work to attract
If you are not ready for
the deep waters of love
don't pretend
and then dip a toe in and run
true love is hip deep without waders
its floating weightless beside her
Its sharing your physical being
but also your hopes and dreams
Its built on trust
that's the bedrock
that holds up the entire stream
and if you ignore that your love will escape
just like the smoke and the steam
and alone you both will feel
Don't run hot and cold
don't fake meek and suddenly bold
be your authentic self every day
and communicate in a refreshing way
Live in your truth
act like a youth
let your head and heart
each be your guide
and just speak out your truth
what you say matters each day
it also matters
in how you say it
the way you relate or hesitate
speaks volumes on your character
because if you don't
that love evaporates
it slips away
and rains some other way
and thats how regrets are made....
And thats your cowgirl advice
for the free price
of listening to this song
just listen to this song
and learn to get along
just listen
(listen)
(don't go wrong)
