On a roll today..... here is another

X-ray Eyes - 11/24/01

Watching you sleep
Wondering what you dream about
am I the hero there
or the technicolored villian
maybe your just dreaming
that I am lying here beside you
watching you breathe
watching you sleep

I'm so in love with you
but I can't say why
when I look into those eyes
you see right through me
I am hypnotized
you see right through me
my hearts an open book
you see right through me
with your x-ray eyes

Watching you laugh
intoxicated by your smile
love the way you move
the way you flip your hair
maybe I'm just dreaming
that I am standing here beside you
holding your hand
watching you smile

I'm so in love with you
but I can't say why
when I look into those eyes
you see right through me
I am hypnotized
you see right through me
my hearts an open book
you see right through me
with your x-ray eyes

Never was one for lack of words
but with you I'm speechless
and my heart beats faster
when your near
Never thought someone
as wonderful as you
would ever love me too

I'm so in love with you
but I can't say why
when I look into those eyes
you see right through me
I am hypnotized
you see right through me
my hearts an open book
you see right through me
with your x-ray eyes

I'm going to print all your lyrics and hang it on my wall. And if somebody asks me "Who is your favorite poet?" I'll answer "Russ Harvey". <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
But seriously, I really like all your songs.

I can see you through...

Here is another I wrote today...... it needs a title..... any suggestions? Ok! Thanks for all the suggestions........ what do you think of the new title?

Alien (Black and White) - 11/26/01

You're so weak but you're so strong
Never right and never wrong
Speak your mind but not out loud
Hate yourself but you're still proud
In control while in a spin
Never lose but never win
Tell the truth and tell a lie
Afraid to live afraid to die
In the dark but full of light
A pacifist you want to fight

You're just a mystery
And it's clear to me
You're just a mystery
And it's clear to see
You're just a mystery
A mystery to me

Fall apart but in control
Gone to pieces you're still whole
Always crying when you smile
Hurry up and wait a while
With your friends you're all alone
Your soul is soft your heart is stone
Your minds made up you can't decide
You like to walk you like to ride
Never cold and never hot
Always something that you're not

You're just a mystery
And it's clear to me
You're just a mystery
And it's clear to see
You're just a mystery
A mystery to me

Never lost but never found
In the sky and on the ground
Always going but never there
You can cheat and you're still fair
Always scared but never afraid
Sold your soul and never paid
Right side up and upside down
You still laugh but with a frown
Love to dance but hate to move
In a rut while in a groove

You're just a mystery
And it's clear to me
You're just a mystery
And it's clear to see
You're just a mystery
A mystery to me

Here is yet another - seems like November has been a creative month!

The Miles Between Us - 11/28/01

I got your email late this evening
You said to call but you're not home
Left a message now I'm waiting
With my hand still on the phone

On the floor staring at the fireplace
Shadows dancing on the wall
Stuck in the vacuum of technology
While the clock hardly moves at all

The miles that are between us
They can't keep us far apart
Lonely but I feel you near
Because you're in my heart
The miles that are between us
Just a part of time and space
It won't be much longer now
And I can touch your face

I keep your picture in my pocket
Though it's worn and fading gray
Counting down the days until
You can come to me and stay

Frustrated I pick up the phone
Because there is no other choice
At times there is no substitute
I just need to hear your voice

The miles that are between us
They can't keep us far apart
Lonely but I feel you near
Because you're in my heart
The miles that are between us
Just a part of time and space
It won't be much longer now
And I can touch your face

It won't be much longer now
And I can touch your face

Legacy: Great lyrics! They have the mystification that lacked a little bit before. But, be honest: The first lines you "borrowed" from my favourite poem: "The road not taken" from Robert Frost!Still dreamy output!
"x-ray eyes" reminds me a bit of "x-ray-eyes" by Robin Gibb (who I also appreciate a lot) - would be nice in 80`s e-style, dont you think? for untitled I`d just suggest "the unknown". The miles between us is fine, but my personal fav rests legacy for the poetic style. GREAT ideas!

We are what we are - the meaning of life

russharvey · 09 Dec 2001, 18:54

Of course I borrowed on that one Streetside! Robert Frost (The Road not Taken)is one of my all time favorite poets! The poem Ozymandius (although not by Robert Frost) is another poem that has personally inspired me.... and the reference to the dragons on Pern is a reference to another favorite author - Anne McCaffrey! Finally, reference to Harry is of course... Mr. Potter, who my kids just love!!

By the way...... I sure hope you weren't suggesting that my previous songs weren't good because they didn't mystify you! ;)
