In the dark and lonely night
I find myself searching for a light
And though my heart is heavy with regret 
I know that I’ll rise above it yet 

I will run to you
With arms wide open 
And I will chase the blues 
Until my heart is broken 

I’ve been wandering through the storm 
With nothing but a broken heart
But I’ll keep on moving forward
Till I find a brand new start 

I will run to you
With arms wide open 
And I will chase the blues 
Until my heart is broken 

And I’ll keep on climbing 
Higher and higher
Till I reach the top
And see my heart’s desire 

I will run to you
With arms wide open 
And I will chase the blues 
Until my heart is broken 

I will run to you
With arms wide open 
And I will chase the blues 
Until my heart is broken 

And when the night is over
And the storm has passed
I’ll look up to the heavens
And know that I’ve found my way at last. 

The Candle is the poem Waxen Form set to music.

---

the wick runs short the 
candle fades
then flickers
and goes out

how many people
has she warmed
how many
shared her light

though with the wind
and with the rain
her flame
nearly died

she overcame
everything
until finally
there is no more

now she has
no use no 
beauty she 
lies still cold

darkness surrounds her

is this the 
end or the 
beginning
of something new

I search for your face
memories of you time cannot erase
your laughter, touch, smile
gone but with me all the while

love and loss
such a cost
hearts torn apart
never fully lost

whispers call out your name
never the same
the fire that burned
now ashes, lesson learned

love and loss
such a cost
hearts torn apart
never fully lost

tears falling like rain
drowning in pain
the love we once knew
gone but forever true

love and loss
such a cost
hearts torn apart
never fully lost

I’m walking down this empty road
A faded line, where dreams corrode
All the street lights have burned out
In this town where hope’s in doubt

It feels like I’ve been here for so long
Stuck in a place where I don’t belong
But I’ll keep pushing through the night
I’ll find a way to make it right

I’m on a dead-end street, a dead-end street
Get me off this dead-end street
I’m on a dead-end street, a dead-end street
Get me off this dead-end street

The shadows whisper tales of despair
Broken dreams and hearts laid bare
But I won’t let this street define
The path I walk, the things I’ll find

Feels like I’ve hit a dead-end sign,
But I won’t let my spirit decline,
Through the echoes of the city’s beat,
I’ll rise again, won’t face defeat.

I’m on a dead-end street, a dead-end street
Get me off this dead-end street
I’m on a dead-end street, a dead-end street
Get me off this dead-end street

In the whispers of the midnight air,
I’ll face my fears, I won’t despair,
On this road where hopes retreat,
I’ll carve a path, won’t face defeat.

I’m on a dead-end street, a dead-end street
Get me off this dead-end street
I’m on a dead-end street, a dead-end street
Get me off this dead-end street

I’m on a dead-end street, a dead-end street
Get me off this dead-end street
I’m on a dead-end street, a dead-end street
Get me off this dead-end street

In a world of black and white,
Everything, from dark to light,
Every shade and every hue,
In your love, I found what’s true.

Shades of grey, in love we sway,
Lost in your eyes, come what may,
In this world of ours please stay
Shades of grey, never fade away.

Through the storms and sunny days,
In your arms, I’ll always stay,
Life’s a canvas, we’ll paint it bright,
Our love’s colours will ignite.

Shades of grey, in love we sway,
Lost in your eyes, come what may,
In this world of ours please stay
Shades of grey, never fade away.

Reds and blues, in love’s embrace,
With every shade, our hearts keep pace,
Through the darkness, into the day,
In your love, all fear will fade away.

In this world of black and white,
You and I, we’ll shine so bright,
Hand in hand, we’ll find our way,
In the shades of grey, we’ll always stay. 

Shades of grey, in love we sway,
Lost in your eyes, come what may,
In this world of ours please stay
Shades of grey, never fade away.

Shades of grey, in love we sway,
Lost in your eyes, come what may,
In this world of ours please stay
Shades of grey, never fade away.

I like what I like
I want what I want
I want what I want
I like what I like

I need what I need
I have what I have
I have what I have
I need what I need

I was who I was
I am who I am
I am who I am
I was who I was

I am who I am
I was who I was
I was who I was
I am who I am
