Echoes From the Wood

“The earth has music for those who listen.”

Love & Feeling

(Sexual attraction is confusing, maddening, euphoric, even dangerous.
It drives people to extreme behavior, even unspeakable crimes.
The beating pulse, the sweating palms, the rise of chemicals in the brain are the symptoms of a much deeper, more mysterious affliction.
The mechanism that chooses and controls the objects of sexual desire can only be found in the heart of the unexplained.)

Lonely sun, enough of lies
Sleeping naked in the night
Got to take it off my mind

Old enough to make you mine
I believe in human rights
Got to take if off my mind, off my mind...

And now you've got me here, aware
I see through the innocence
I know the way is getting hard

But I hold in line away to live
And you come close just a little bit
Now everything, it seems okay

  You know, you got me with the love and feeling
I know, my body cares only what to say
You know, you got me with the love and feeling
I know, my body cares only what to say

Old enough to see you're fine
Driving circles in my mind
Got to keep it all in line, all in line

Scrambling words to make you fall
Make you hear so you want more
Got to keep it all in line, all in line

And now you know, the less you give
The more I pull, the more I wish
Rapacious from the very start

But I hold in line away to live
And you come close just a little bit
Now everything, it seems okay

You know, you got me with the love and feeling
I know, my body cares only what to say
You know, you got me with the love and feeling
I know, my body cares only what to say
You know... love and feeling
I know... only what to say
You know, ooo... love and feeling
I know...only what to say

All I Need...

...is a story (but this one is waiting to be written)
