Stories of love
That race through my mind 
Those that didn't last 
Those too far, too past 

And the games I played 
Games the kind 
That fools fall for 
That hurt all the more

Stories of 
Encounters that faltered 
And shapes that were altered 
To fit the scene 

The holy sanction 
That is ourselves 
Makes us want 
All the more

Stories unlived 
Tales untold 
Hold me to this night 
Make me feel alright 

Knights that shine in silver armor 
Fill my sleeping hour 
Fill me with the power 
To go on

Stories of my future days 
Tales of love that pass my way 
They seem to just evade me 
Make me need...all the more
