Ger Lane - Straightforward Love Song

Straightforward Love Song

This is supposed to be a straight forward love song

Direct and raw and dedicated right to you

This is composed with all that’s going on within me

Everything I can say and all that I can do

You see I want to find new words new ways

To say what we’ve all known before

Declarations to what’s going on deep in the core

What is a cold heart?

What’s that way to caring?

Caught up again in a web of the self that’s finespun?

Well this is supposed to be a straight forward love song

Connecting to what’s special

That big, big hearted fun

But you know… there’s a terror to life

And lovers live on the brink

The anti romantic’s worked out

How we think

But in that warm heart

That gentle place of affection

Come here my love and stay near

This is supposed to be a straight forward love song

Direct and raw; honest and clear

Oh but I know we get lost

Overtaken, erratic, confused

Actions weigh heavy when instincts abused

So just yield now

Reflect on that light on the raindrops

See rose leaves twinkle resplendent in the sun

This is supposed to be a straight forward love song

Anticipated

Created

We love it sometimes we might even hate it

Can’t hide those thoughts any more

They’ve got to be stated

And tough times can be sore

The best is celebrated

Dig deep down to the core

To sing on and on

A straightforward love song
