I Wish I Could Untangle You - July 2007

See twinkling eyes that dull with pain

eyes once bright as fire flames

we juggle pills to make it wane

with every day I cry for you

moving now is hard to do

limbs get stuck refusing to

unbend, and move as graceful should,

I wish I could untangle you

dreams that see you run again

walk the miles that never end

play the games we used to do

dance forever, just us two

this once strong man

who laughs with me

now has morphine in his tea

instead of 'bubbles' in a glass

thinking of sweet days gone past,

still we can dance, if very slow

so legs don't stumble, I'll

not let you go, put on

the music, hold me tight

and yes, it still feels very right

we'll play the soft and gentle songs

the ones you love, we'll float along,

I'll watch your singing eyes

and wish I could, until I die,

I wish I could untangle you

I wish.... I could untangle you
