My attempt at song-writing.

[lacruciverbiste]

VERSE 1:
You come here, grief crushes down
Wave after wave on you, 
Without a sound. 
You can't believe this used to be
A place of happiness, of dreams.
Where have I gone?

VERSE 2:
Everything's changed since I left home:
Each day's hard to bare, 
The nights, they seem so long.
You pray I'll hear your call,
But nothing seems to help at all.
Where have I gone?

FIRST CHORUS:
I am here,
In all the mem'ries hanging on the walls.
I am here,
Where I used to catch you when you'd fall.
In each space inside your heart,
We'll never be too far apart.
I am here.

VERSE 3:
You search for me in the forest's shade;
The more you look,
The more I seem to fade.
But just be still and listen, dear,
And then you'll hear me whisper
Where I've gone.

SECOND CHORUS:
I am here,
Where rugged footpaths cut the woods in two.
I am here,
Where rivers leave their trails of icy blue.
Among the blond and blowing reeds,
You'll never be too far from me;
I am here.

BRIDGE:
I'm in your dreams,
Come follow me,
Along the shore of sandy beach.
Take my hand, I have a plan,
I'll show you where I've gone.

VERSE 4:
A little girl is walking in the sand,
Holding tight
To her father's hand.
Can you feel me with you now?
(Can you fin'lly see
I'm not gone?) stuck here.

FINAL  CHORUS:
I'm still here, 
Above the sky and salty sea.
I'm still here, 
Wondr'ing who you'll someday be. 
And if you ever need to know, 
Just what you always meant to me,
Find me here.
