Long ago they planned a rendesvous
Deep in these woods beneath the full moon
She said you'll know where to find me
When you hear me singing this melody

He went to meet her later on that night
He heard her singing but she's no where in sight
He searched for her in vain
And no one ever saw  them again

And even to this day when the moon is full and shining bright
You can hear him calling her name as her sad song fills up the night

So if you walk these woods and hear a tune
There's no need to fear Her song's not for you
She sings to young lover
She waits for him yet to meet her

Perhaps on another night like this
Two souls will meet and they will share a kiss
And they will finally be together
Two hearts at peace forever

And even to this day when the moon is full and shining bright
You can hear him calling her name as her sad song fills up the night

The End

             2.    Eternity

My heart lies miles away,
In the arms of my love,
Whom I wish with all my soul,
All of me,
That I could touch.

The gentle caress
That only two lovers know,
Entwined as if one,
An intimacy incomparable
To that of which I have ever known,
Or may ever know again.

I lie in my bed tonight,
Crying tears of joy and sorrow,
Sorrow, That I cannot see him
Kiss him, hold him, look into his eyes,
Let him know the love I feel for him.

Tears of joy,
Just the thought of him brings a smile to my face,
Knowing there is someone out there
Someone that I love with my all,
And someone who returns that love,
How can that not bring me joy?

He has captured my heart,
Long ago, so long ago
That I never noticed it was with him,
Until now,
My heart belongs with the one I love.

In my dreams we are one,
We talk and laugh,
And a comfortable silence fills the air
Only broken by the sound of our lips,
As they collide.

The soft rustle
Of his fingers entwining my hair,
Only broken by the gentle thump of our hearts,
Beating in unison.

I look into his loving eyes,
And for that brief moment,
Time stands still,
And all I see is He and I,
And a love that stands the tests of time,
Throughout eternity.

                3.    DREAMS

Sweetness lurks and evil pries
But we tend to forget when we open our eyes

That dreams are just dreams, they never come true
But some of us know that the true are few

When you fall asleep your mind shuts down
You're lost in your dreams, your ideas are found

And no one can save you from the darkness that stalks
It's like you can't get out, you're trapped in a box

You have to wake up into the cold unfeeling light
And sooner or later you realize that you might give up this fight

But as time goes by you'll try to find
What's now left of your once sane mind

And for once in your life your sleep will be still
And you'll never wake up because your dreams can kill.

        4.  Ministers of Fortune City

A minister is like a friend
On whom you can always depend

They show you that they care
By always being there

They help you night and day
Until your troubles go away

What other duties have they got?
Surely this is not the lot?

Welcome letters, message board
Who will get the next award?

District pages, NGP
Persevearance is the key

These are just to name a few
There is always something new

Being chat admin is cool
But people, please obey the rule

If you use all caps and shout
They can kick you out

A minister's job is never done
But it sure is alot of fun

      5.  Angel that surrounds me

When I think I'm at my worst
and there's no one there to call..
The angel that surrounds me
can help me through it all.

No one can see her
But I know that she is there.
She's the one who matters
and she's the one who cares.

Angel all around me
I know that she is there
She knows my good and bad points
She doesn't really care.
No matter what I do or say,
She is always here.
Angel all around me,
She calms my darkest fears.

She helps me through the toughest times
when things are not so good.
When I think, " I can't"
She knows that I should.

She hears me as I read this
she's always standing near.
"THANK YOU ANGEL", for all your help
in calming all my fears.

Angel all around me
I know that she is there
She knows my good and bad points
She doesn't really care.
No matter what I do or say,
She is always here.
Thank you for your help
in calming all my fears.

         6.  Black and Gold

Lighting swift and feather light
Black by day and gold by night
Onward down the mountain sped
The Ghostly horses of the dead
Through the graveyard dark and still
Past the markers on the hill
Through the forest and the bog
Jumping fence and fallen log
Red sparks flying on they go
Through the freshly fallen snow
Fleetly speeding here and there
Giving not a thought or care
To their masters dark and cold
Onward onward Black and Gold.
