hope

[jenk]

I've been listening to this song over and over today. I typed in the lyrics to send to a friend, and figured I'd put them here too.

He said my door is open please come in I like your jeans I like your grin I have a picture in my mind can we talk about it I see a girl with likes like yours Who wants to sing who will explore These thoughts I talk about to you and I've been hoping for love Been hoping for love

I stand in the door my feet stay still I see a place he wants to fill I recognize a shape and size that I could never fit into And all the murmured sorries fall around a man who wants it all And still he's glittering with hope He's still hoping for love Been hoping for love As if the cafe cups of coffee steam obscured the lines of truth And all my stories were a promise I've been saving up to give you When did our silly laughter spilling scald your heart with heat And change the feather light of friendship into Heavy thoughts of love and need I look at him there's so much here to lose The sad eyes recognize the truth And still his heart is empty please come inside and fill me But all I do is pull away the words of love I cannot say Hang trembling in the space the space that grows between us Without love a space without love A smile and trust that's in his eyes I watch the expectation die I'm sorry for the hope that I have taken from you And all the possibility of a love that couldn't be Lies cold and still around us now There is not a hope of love And there is no love And there is no love We all hope for love. - Carolyn Currie, "Hope", from Standing Stones
