Fanfare

Eric Matthews


did I hear you right you'll see me now,
I change my mind from listening to you
I pull some stretch try fright inside you
holes on fire that burned my childhood smile
it might be late but time is guided
by open minds that fight disguises

hiding cowards world
binding unto nowhere
listening hard for words
and meanings that point to true love,
new love that's real
yeah, yeah

answer questions that I knew you had
I've seen your tears and heard your groaning
those open wounds still lay beside me
and if we find that what we shared was real
let's not stand 'round or wear disguises
have open time, unwrap surprises

tired and not too thrilled
with yearnings that mustn't be filled
if it's not too late I'd love to know
is what you're feeling down low
so super low, I know, and I know it's
my childhood smile.
