         She said, “You like to walk on the edge?”
         “Yes, I do, … Yes”, I said
         and I looked across the space and into her eyes
         and fell on over to the other side
         Its by the edge that the strong survive
         its on across that the dead come alive
         she said, “You always seem so open and so real.”
         and I thought, “I’m trying to stand all that I feel.”
         Electric eyes, she has electric skin
         I want to love you, I want to win
         Love’s easily my hardest game
         its oneness is an invitation to pain
         and yet…and yet I open
         again and again.

            Overextended and hurting again
            is it only in love that I bend
            only here with my heart in a mess
            that I let my feelings come undressed
            its never easy…never thought it was
            this aching feeling that lingers from love.

      Love’s confusing…its an overload dream
      I’ve got too many feelings and I don’t know what they mean
      quicksilver lady, i cannot pin her down
      quicksilver lady, her presence is a dream
      my easy drifting is gone without a trace
      our lover’s dancing all other time’s erased
      I’ve got to focus…I feel this more each day
      love should have its moments, but life’s the game I’d play
      come then, tell her… let her stay or slip away
      these days, so full of essences, to me just steps along my way
      I love this lady…she’s more mirror than I’ve seen
      but more than soft and easy…she’s a lover’s tangled dream.
