Wounded By Thorns, Healed By The Rose
Don't Talk by Melody Gardot
Wounded By Thorns, Healed By The Rose
She was wounded by the thorns of loving
While trying to hold onto the rose
Listening to lies coming out of her head
That only the heart really knows.
Restless raindrops came pouring down
From vast and violent starless skies
He walked alone through teeming tears
Telling himself truth and lies.
Love flew by and heard the lies
Whispering through the stormy weather
Saw the woman, saw the man
And brought the two lost souls together.
Years of failing all the tests
Always wanting to just belong
Trying their best to get it right
But never failing to get it wrong.
The two of them walking a lonely road
While the clouds let loose above
Their hands touched when their eyes met
Standing, drowning in streams of love.
'Twas supernatural the night we met
Choreographed by God himself
As wounds were healed and lies revealed
By truth till there was no lie left.
The rose of love, of life devoid
Came then to life by love's decree
Sprang forth and watered by our tears
Bloomed inside you and inside me.
We'd never met and yet we knew
Each other's dreams, each other's goals
Without one proof we knew the truth
That had been there waiting in our souls.
Questions answered, questions asked
Our hearts knew what our heads could not
We found ourselves in a tale of wonder
Complete with people, place and plot.
How magical when love appears
When hope is lost and then reborn
On the darkest night of our whole lives
And replaced by the joy of a glorious morn.
The night, a song that lovers sing
The rain, the wine that quenches dirt
The thorns, those wounds that come from loving
The rose, the love that heals the hurt.

Need Your Love So Bad (but in a good way)
soundtrack to write. Loop it!
Need Your Love So Bad
She's sitting at the bar alone
Her hand around a glass
Looking like a movie star
With elegance and class.
She doesn't see me watching
Or if she does, ignores
My hungry stare at her lips, her hair
And wanting to see more.
That red dress fits her contours
Like she was poured in it
Those legs, they take my breath away
And give my loins a fit.
I finish off my white wine
And order something else
That white wine isn't cutting it
So keep it on the shelf.
Bring me some good Crown Royal
Maybe a Sloe Gin Fizz
I've to get my courage up
I've got to finish this.
Look at all that long black hair
Look at those big brown eyes
Look at those luscious sweet red lips
And at those creamy thighs.
I didn't know when I walked in
This little bar tonight
That I would lose my heart and soul
To that girl that shines so bright.
She shifts around now in her seat
And quickly looks around
The band is gearing up to play
That smoky bluesy sound.
I down my drink, get to my feet
And saunter toward the bar
But other soldiers beat me there
Like they're engaged in war.
She looks at them with discerning eyes
And smiles a smile so sweet
Nods at one fine sharp dressed man
And gets then to her feet.
I watch her as she walks with him
Up to the dim dance floor
And they engage in a dance so hot
It melts that barroom floor.
I can't believe my loveless eyes
As I move back to my chair
I had no chance to have that dance
What was I doing there?
Look at the way she moves her hips
How she tosses her hair around
How she licks her lips and her fingertips
On his back, run up and down.
He tries to make a move on her
As his hands slide down her back
Down to her hips and she parts her lips
And stops him in his tracks.
"Uh-uh!" she says and points her finger
Into his startled face
And no matter what he tries to do
She puts him in his place.
I am so pleased at what I see
And I hide my face and smile
I like the way she handles him
I like her sense and style.
I wonder if she'll do the same
To me if I get fresh
i wonder if I'll get a turn
And who will be her next.
But it's not me, that much is sure
So i settle back to learn
What I might use to turn her head
And make that sweet thing burn.
My body turns to traitor
And soon i lose control
All night i watch her dancing there
While i seek to reach my goal.
She walks by me back to the back
And I want so much to follow
But I can't move my frozen feet
Or lift my glass to swallow.
Her perfume fills my nostrils
With a fragrance oh, so rare
And I breathe her in deep in my lungs
As her perfume lingers there.
I pay the band to play my song
Perhaps they'll dedicate
It just to her from the man in black
And I can hardly wait.
My heart beats like a school boy's
My chance, it comes at last
They dedicate the song to her
And I hear her gasp.
She turns to look in my direction
And I raise my glass and wink
And she looks away like i wasn't there
And my poor heart starts to sink.
I need your love so bad, girl
The blues man sings it loud
Give it up! he growls at her
With approval from the crowd.
And I sit in hope and fear of failure
Looking at that frame so fine
Wishing I could win her heart
Wishing she was mine.
She flirts with some tall rich tycoon
She laughs a silky laugh
She lets him kiss her lovely throat
And my heart tears in half.
I cannot stand the torture
I cannot stand the fear
I wonder how I'll walk away
And why I came in here.
That goddess is out of my league
What made me think I'd win
She is the kind that can take her time
And her pick of all the men.
I'm just a no one, no one needs
I have not much to give
But how I'd love to have her be
The reason that I live.
i watch her slip off her red shoes
And rub her tender feet
She sighs a sigh that makes me cry
Hell, even her sigh is sweet!
I'd love to have her in my arms
My car, my room, my bed
I'd kiss her from her dancing toes
To the top of her sexy head.
I'd pour my love out on that girl
I'd make her feel so nice
But who am I fooling, that girl won't even
Look at this mad man twice!
I pay my tab and get to my feet
I won't allow myself to look
For I know the crowd is hovering there
And reading her like a book.
I feel so lonely and defeated
As I stumble to the door
Walk out into the cold night air
Not caring any more.
I find my car in the parking lot
The old one bent and blue
And my eyes behold a sight that I
Cannot believe is true.
She's leaning there upon the car
As plain as plain can be
And she says, No, I will not come with you
But you're going home with me.
I pinch myself to see if I'm dead
I don't believe the state I'm in
She leads me round my car and opens
The door to a Mercedes Benz.
We drive up in the movie star hills
Up to a steel gray gate
It opens with her secret code
And man, I feel so great.
She kisses me upon the lips
And pulls me to her arms
And I give in to sex and sin
Fall victim to her charms.
You're the man for me, she whispers low
I've prayed to God above
To send me someone just like you
Man, I've got to have your love.
And the blues song fills the cold night air
As cold champagne fills my cup
And I reach to take my fill of her....
And, oh damn, then I wake up!!!!

Beautiful In The Dark
Beautiful In The Dark
(blinded by the need of the human heart)
Sometimes the things that are beautiful in the dark
Can be so ugly in the light of day
Sometimes the things we take the most for granted
Can mean the most when they go away.
I stand here on this white sand beach
And watch the turquoise tides roll out to sea
I think about the silver moon in your eyes
And how your lips felt when you were loving me.
I listened quietly to your soft sweet nothings
But honestly, I didn't hear a thing
For words to you were lies to make me love you
So when the phone rings now, I let it ring.
You know how good strawberries taste on your tongue?
How champagne's bubbles tickle as they rise?
How rainbows appear and disappear like magic?
That's how love is brought to life before it dies.
A beautiful thing that's sweet when it shows up
So full of joy the heart gives it reception
There on the dance floor, street or garden path
But with the dawn, the heart knows it's deception.
Why must it be so in this earthly life?
Why must we wait for Heaven's joy to trust?
Why must we long for love with all our souls?
When the love we think we've found proves made of dust.
Love should be found in the golden light of morning
In a garden full of fragrance all around
Clearly surmised without shadow and apprised
To be what builds us up, not lets us down.
I've seen love's face and I've seen the face of lusting
I've felt naive intent and midnight's grasp
I've loved and lost and loved and learned a lesson
I've known the grief of loss when love has passed.
How foolish is the heart when night has fallen
When the eyes see lies but the need just does not care
And the void of the soul to be made whole grows wider
When you awake and find there's no love there.
Awakenings are stunning and despairing
When you've not yet learned to discern the shade from spark
And you see in clear light an ugly thing revealed
That you thought was simply beautiful in the dark.
I was naive once long ago and yesterday
When I still thought you beautiful and fine
But my eyes couldn't see what my heart wouldn't see
Till I woke up ..............
Opened my eyes and found that I was blind.

Saboteur
SABOTEUR
Saboteur
Love is like a Trojan Horse
It snuck silently into my life
Under false pretenses
On the one night I was not on guard.
You know I speak the truth
Deny it not
Those deep deep eyes
Couldn't hide the truth if truth was just a lie.
You think because you wear soft shoes
That you can dance on me
But you do an impressive pirouette,
Don't you?
Mockingbirds take lessons
For you excel at mocking
Filling the air with illusions of songs
That are only noises.
If I could legally exterminate
The memory of you, would I do it?
I lie in bed and think about that, hours on end
Dream of revenge, even as I grovel in wanting.
There is none so blind
As he who will not see
But I have looked and I have seen
And I have looked away.
And now I see with eyes wide open
All the ravages you brought with you
All the dents and damages
You left in your wake.
I barely recognize myself today
In the shattered mirrors of your eyes
So slyly does your mouth smile
And so coldly do your fingers touch my skin.
Yes! This is a poem for you!
Yes! This is a song about you!
Yes, yes, yes! This page is filled with love and hate
The two-edged sword you cut me with.
And all the things you make me feel
And all the deaths you make me die,
All the joys you crushed beneath your shoes
In the days that followed my surrender.
There was so much promise there
In the beginning.............
So much sweetness springing forth from me
Like a fountain flowing from a rock.
I thought you came from God
I thought you held the stars within your hands
And all the songs that had ever been written
Had been composed by you.
Saboteur! Traitor! Deceiver!
Lover!
How I long to take back every yesterday
And replace them with tomorrow!
You are a cold wind that ever blows
And no candle I can light will keep it's glow for long
You will not allow it.................
You will not give me the warmth I need to survive.
Saboteur!
Turning hope to dust and peace to war
Making unholy, that which was sacred in my eyes
As my brokenness falls upon your battlefield.
If I did not love you, it would not matter
If I did not hate you, I could not bear this pain
You were the traitor and I, the betrayed
And yet it is I, who stands before the firing squad at dawn.
But no more will I wear the hood and mask
No more will I twist myself away from what is coming
From this moment forward, when you fire that gun,
I want you to kill me as you look in my eyes.
You have made me into something I never was
And the only way to change me is to kill me
I will not beg of you but I will not run
My hate, a shield too heavy to hold................
Still wants to die in your arms
Love.
