“A Kiss for Uncle Sam”
“Hiding from Her”
Hiding from her
My tournament of pain
Love is not lost
But frozen in vain
What have I done?
What have I gained?
Where do I begin?
Why must you remain?
Lost
Lost in this reply
Listen
Listen to my cry
Don’t you want to know?
Know what happened to me
Whisper, whisper
Whisper it’s me
Still
Still you return
Feed
Feed this aching burn
I know you
Don’t you realize?
I’m the one you loved
Loved without lies
What have I done?
What have I gained?
Where do I begin?
Why must you remain?
Memories flood
Flow like wine
Don’t let go
Let go in due time
Stop
Stop, wait
Stay
Stay true to fate
What have I done?
What have I gained?
Where do I begin?
Why must you remain?
Loss
Loss I must part
Stay
Stay in my heart
