VISIONS

Today my heart feels so lonely

and I just don't quite understand

I can't put my finger upon it

for it's as quick as the slight of a hand

 

It's like a flash of light in the darkness

it's a hollow spot deep down in your heart

it's like all the winds that have ever blown

and the glimpses can pull you apart

 

Can you feel it way down in your old soul

something sunk in the eons of time

something lost and so sweet in your memories

a dream that you never will find

 

What is it and where did it ccome from

and even worse, where did it go

it must be the places, the people and things

that you loved, in the far long ago

 

It's like a mist that come's over the mountains

as the moon spreads a pale yellow glow

it's peace dnd it's love and contentment

and it's there that I wish I could go

 

There's a deep lonely spot way down in my heart

there's and ache that can't be fulfilled

there's a place somewhre, and I wish to be there

but to find it, I never will

 

Sometimes in the lonely and silence

you can hear soft sigh's in the night

and it brings back a memory of long ago

when all seemed peaceful and bright

 

Did you ever grasp at a vision

that you saw in your own minds eye

an illusion so strong, it was like a sad song

from the long ago sweet by and by

 

Sometimes my mind's like the wide open sky

empty of clouds and so blue

and precious memories come spirling my way

this thing they call de-ja-vu

 

Sometimes I'm in a deep peaceful valley

filled up with hush to the top

with tall green mountaon's around me

where the lonely don't ever stop

 

Did you ever feel lost in the day light

with a hundred people near by

when a glimpse of a face, ner forgotten and loved

makes you almost break down and cry

 

And the lonelinessnow, it can get you

it can take you down to the ground

it can twist and pull your old heart in to

it can hurt you and keep you down

 

When Spring comes in warm bright confusion

and dreams seem to come through the mist

do memories come back, that you don't quite remember

of folks that you know don't exist

 

How grand it would be to open up the minds eye

and let old memories flow free

all those feelings that linger deep down in my soul

all those things that keep pulling at me

 

I almost always nearly can reach them

but sometimes they never come through

tiny whispers and soft warm shadows

and they won't come, what ever I do

 

Can someone take me back to that long ago time

back to the place whence I came

back to the sweet peaceful life of  before

for I hear some one calling my name

 

So whom ever you are, in the Heaven's

in your soft warm, warm far away

can you come take the pain from this old hurting heart

for I'm feeling so lonely today
