Unique Infatuation (From Storm of Roses)
Your power is so immense I’ve overflowed Short-circuited My engine has died But like a car to a tow I remain anchored to you Moving after you Not by my own feet but By the power within you Magnetic Electric energy Moving after you Daydreaming of you Night-wishing for you A beer in…

SAVE MY LOVE No matter how many years go by We will never know our tomorrow You are still locked away in thoughts Epitome of regret My soul mate forever Severed Will my shames ever pass from me? Forgive me, please Know not, I did That when I stepped into the four winds I stole…
