This might be a little too much to take in but any feedback is appreciated and I thank you in advance.
Dedicated to my beautiful and loving wife.
( ver. 1 )
Shoes fighting back against the miles
collars stiffen at the slightest breeze,
Buttons are stressed and stretched
pants wearing down with ease,
To be dressed in innocence again
by shearing the remaining threads,
That try to keep me tied up
against the freedom I see ahead
( chorus )
Shimmering like a midnight swim
in pools of star stained skies,
My heart goes skinny-dipping
when I look into your eyes
Toes wiggle in the forbidden grasses
of private places one can go,
Clothes discarded and by the side
as the moment ripples so,
Every time I am near you
it brings such images imagined,
Exposed I am to the naked truth
you dress my soul in passion
( chorus )
Shimmering like a midnight swim
in pools of star stained skies,
My heart goes skinny-dipping
when I look into your eyes.
( ver. 2 )
Woven into the fabric of the day
Clashing with this tie,
All pretty colors fade to gray
Well I just can't deny,
The shirt or me is shrinking
Back into this unforgiving chair,
Leaves me with regret and thinking
Of what I really want to share...
( chorus )
Shimmering like a midnight swim
In pools of star stained skies,
My heart goes skinnydipping
When I look into your eyes.
Tailored into the texture of the week
Feeling the needles and pins,
I have only to find the courage to speak
To let the dreams really begin,
In time I have made stiches
Woven with silence's golden thread,
Of all my hopes and wishes
I wish only this said...
( chorus )
Shimmering like a midnight swim
In pools of star stained skies,
My heart goes skinnydipping
When I look into your eyes.
( ver. 3)
The carpet isn't red, it's gray
The walls as white as the sun,
The reports are due back today
That I haven't even begun,
I was daydreaming of summer's past
When forbidden fields were found,
Stumbling into the oasis at last
Into the coolness going slowly down...
( chorus )
Shimmering like a midnight swim
In pools of star stained skies,
My heart goes skinny-dipping
When I look into your eyes.
The walls are cut in half
The workload has doubled,
So dull this cutting-edge staff
My mind is still troubled,
I was remembering those summer nights
When troubles were discarded,
When only innocence filled our sights,
Thinking we would never be broken hearted...
( chorus )
Shimmering like a midnight swim
In pools of star stained skies,
My heart goes skinny-dipping
When I look into your eyes.
