Sunday Muse - Will I open?

    The door is locked  

I have the key the door is locked 
You can't come in without the word 
Your magic word I'll turn the key 
Works better than cupid's arrow 

You know the word don't say in vain 
Please, want it seriously said 
When I know you really mean it 
I'll turn my key, open the door 

Door to my heart and shoot your dart 
Let Cupid's Arrow sting my heart

 Lyrics (sing along?) --

    Is Your Love in Vain?

Do you love me 
Or are you just extending good will? 
Do you need me half as bad as you say 
Or are you just feeling guilt? 

I've been burned before and I know the score 
So you won't hear me complain 
Will I be able to count on you 
Or is your love in vain? 

Are you so fast that you cannot see 
That I must have solitude? 
When I am in the darkness 
Why must you intrude? 

Do you know my world, do you know my kind 
Or must I explain? 
Will you let me be myself 
Or is your love in vain? 

Well, I've been to the mountain and I've been in the wind 
I've been in and out of happiness 
I have dined with kings, I've been offered wings 
And I've never been too impressed 

All right, I'll take a chance 
I will fall in love with you 
If I'm a fool you can have the night 
You can have the morning too 

Can you cook and sew, make flowers grow 
Do you understand my pain? 
Are you willing to risk it all 
Or is your love in vain? 

Can you cook and sew, make flowers grow 
Do you understand my pain? 
Are you willing to risk it all 
Or is your love in vain? 

Thank you

  2. I can hear that rhythm...each line falling into the next. :) There's plenty of hesitation and hope there.

  6. Jim, this is reminiscent of all my doodles in high school notebooks. A total fan out here / up here in Oregon.
