Open Book

I am an open book
my soul's prose
written on each
timeworn page
I want you to read me
so you remember
my past
........present
................... future
scripted by the words
that have been written
with my heart
I want you to understand
every line
............passage
....................chapter
making notations
highlighting words
underlining
each memory
so you will not
forget
all I am
in your hands
I am an open book
my soul exposed
with every letter
dancing in your mind
drawing pictures
.............thoughts
.......................memories
of all that I
have become
because of you

I am yours to read
to know like
the back of your hand
.............your heart
.......................your soul

would you like
to know
my story?

Lyrics to "the Blowers Daughter" by Damien Rice

"The Blower's Daughter"



And so it is

Just like you said it would be

Life goes easy on me

Most of the time

And so it is

The shorter story

No love, no glory

No hero in her sky



I can't take my eyes off of you

I can't take my eyes off you

I can't take my eyes off of you

I can't take my eyes off you

I can't take my eyes off you

I can't take my eyes...



And so it is

Just like you said it should be

We'll both forget the breeze

Most of the time

And so it is

The colder water

The blower's daughter

The pupil in denial



I can't take my eyes off of you

I can't take my eyes off you

I can't take my eyes off of you

I can't take my eyes off you

I can't take my eyes off you

I can't take my eyes...



Did I say that I loathe you?

Did I say that I want to

Leave it all behind?



I can't take my mind off of you

I can't take my mind off you

I can't take my mind off of you

I can't take my mind off you

I can't take my mind off you

I can't take my mind...

My mind...my mind...

'Til I find somebody new
