If I Could Never Be The One

I don't say what i dream
i feel what you dream
i don't sell you my mind
i drink of your mind

and if i could never be the one
to be the one you see
maybe then i've done all that you need
and if i could never say the things
to make you think of me
i've loved you long enough to set you free

i don't raise up my hand
i reach for your hand
i don't call you at all
i wait for your call

and if i could never be the one
to be the one you see
maybe then i've done all that you need
and if i could never say the things
to make you think of me
i've loved you long enough to set you free

time wasted
no i don't think so
you're a part of the way i feel
and even so you'll never know it
'cause i never found a way to show it

i don't shine my light
i look for your light
i don't know what to say
so i look your way

and if i could never be the one
to be the one you see
maybe then i've done all that you need
and if i could never say the things
to make you think of me
i've loved you long enough to set you free

A lyric about letting someone that you love...love you if they want to...Not wanting to make them uncomfortable by bringing the issue too far into the light....not wanting to force the issue...then fading away if you sense that you need to.

Never Say Never

Felt like I was losin'
every single day
didn't have a prayer
'cause they all slipped away
nothin' changin'
always the same old grey

then you found me
walked into my life
and you changed my soul
every single part
sweet amazing
nothin's gonna be the same

now I know that I can never
say never again
my light is shinin'
shinin' brightly again
all for the miracle
of lovin' you every day
I can never
say never again
in the meantime
my lover and friend
you took me to the mountains
and i'm never comin' down again

we can make it
like we never could before
'cause we found the thing
we were lookin for before
and I love you
and i'm never gonna be the same

The Fiddler On The Hill

I CAN HEAR THE FIDDLER PLAYING

HIGH UPON THE HILL

HE WATCHES FIRES BURNING

AND HE GETS A SECRET THRILL

HE'LL KEEP ON PLAYING FIDDLE

ALL THE LONG NIGHT LONG

WHILE THE FIRE JUST KEEPS ON BURNING

TO THE FIDDLER'S SONG

WHERE USED TO BE A MANSION

NOW STANDS A PILE OF ASH

ALL THAT ONCE WAS TREASURED

IS NOTHING MORE THAN TRASH

STILL THE FIDDLER KEEPS ON PLAYING

ALL THE LONG NIGHT LONG

WHILE THE FIRE JUST KEEPS ON BURNING

TO THE FIDDLER'S SONG

(bridge)

WHO'S TO BLESS AND WHO'S TO BLAME?

AND DOES IT REALLY MATTER?

TO THE FIDDLER ON THE HILL

IS HE THE ONLY SANE ONE?

OR IS HE MADDER THAN A HATTER?

THE FIRES KEEP ON BURNING

AND THE WORLD JUST KEEPS ON TURNING

WHERE USED TO BE A CITY

IS NOW ENGULFED IN FIRE

THE PEOPLE TRIED TO FIGHT IT

BUT THEY JUST MADE THE FLAMES BURN HIGHER

STILL THE FIDDLER KEEPS ON PLAYING

ALL THE LONG NIGHT LONG

WHILE THE FIRE JUST KEEPS ON BURNING

TO THE FIDDLER'S SONG
