I'll Open Up To You

Every day, I close my door
To keep the people out.
It gets too loud and noisy here
And I forget what its about.
Sometimes I need a darkness--
An escape from the bright lights
So I close the door behind me
And disappear into the night.
But sometimes, I get lonely
In my quiet solitude,
And I wonder, would you join me
Within my tiny room?
You don't have to stay forever
Though I say, that would be nice.
I promise not to leave you
If you stay with me tonight.
I'll tell you fairy stories
And let you hold me close,
For to be truthful, darling,
You know I like you most.
It could be like a heaven
Here upon this earth,
Cause you're just like an angel
Who's given me new worth.
So, if you'd like to join me
You're more than welcome to
Just knock upon my doorway frame
And I'll open up to you.

Winter Fairies

I caught the winter fairies
And put them in a jar,
And they shimmered and they glistened
Just like a morning star.
Their wings were made of baby laughs
And sparkled in the sun,
And while I kept them locked up tight,
They whispered, "Winter, come!"
And so I let them fly away
To let their magic grow,
And when I woke within the night,
Dawn was covered in the snow.
The sun arose and tried to melt
The fairies' late night work,
Though some of it was washed away,
The rest remained unhurt.
They drew me pretty pictures
Upon my window glass,
Such fine, delicate symmetry--
Too fine for it to last.
Five years have passed since I've seen
A winter fairy's thumb.
But when the leaves fall from the trees,
I hear them whisper: "Winter, come!"

He...

The wind whispers evils in my ear,
The rain portrays my tears
The trees reach out their craggy claws
To feed me empty fears.

I must have strayed within my sleep
To lose myself this deep
The path is crooked, long and dark
With sadness there to reap.

My head is bruised, my hand is cut
I feel the blood is pouring but--

His voice whispers love within my ear,
Which pulls me back from here
His fierce warmth soothes my weary soul
And kills the empty fears.
