then he'll push you aside
he'll turn your heart inside out so there's nowhere to hide
then leave you open and alone
for this long hard ride
* * *
what happened to heaven? to love and desire?
* * *
crying's creeping in, too many tears,
turn back the pages, turn back the years
and I'll tell you a fairytale.......
'bout a gypsy and a cowboy who fell in love on the sea,
a blue blue eyed cowboy and me
now that gypsy's all tangled in chains,
wrapped in heartache, lost in pain
taken in by those eyes,
learning that what's real is all lies
* * *
riding thru hell, can't shake the burning fire
what happened to heaven? to love and desire?
* * *
there once was a paradise, a simple life
so long ago on the sea
but then he sailed away and left me
shattered dreams are what's left, is that what love amounts to?
when can I start another chapter, and stop thinking of you......
* * *
well, he'll call you if he needs you,
then he'll push you aside
he'll turn your heart inside out so there's nowhere to hide
then leave you open and alone
for this long hard ride
back to poems.....
