“Thank you for the sun you brought this morningeven though the sky was full of clouds.”

“Did you think of party dressesand high school playsor hallways full of lovers not yet met?”

“Crowded rooms and lonesome tunes and very little sky.”

“Eternity sneaks in her arms full of wild promises.”

“I will not ask you where you have been tonightI'll only say helloand hope.”

“I was rich in those days, for a week I had everything. I wish I'd known you then.”

“Unless you call attentionto your presencewho will know you're there?Even a countryhas to weave and wave a flagas proof of its existence.”
