![]() The Velvet Hour (2003) [ larger cover art ] |
The days done
and the moon's up
and I'm pacing the cage of my heart
I cannot stop
this aching
always leaves me
dizzy with the Need
just wanna feel someone
that's the time I wonder what it is you're doing
and I slip in your mind like a daydream
I am guilty of haunting you
I am the song that stays in your mind
I am the breeze you feel upon you
I am the ghost in your bed stirring your desire
in the silence
in the shadows
in the uncharted land of your heart
you will hear me calling to you saying
don't be afraid of the dark
you're not alone I'm closer than the breath within you
I am under your skin , can you feel it?

| Carl (The Summit City) | Posted: Jul 10, 2012 - 17:04 Interestingly (to me, anyway), she records songs using "Bird" and acts using "Kathleen," as though she wants to keep these two facets of her career separate—maybe to see which wins out in the long run, thus making her smart as well as multi-talented and beautiful! Get in line, guys! |

| Zamoeba (Chicago, IL) | Posted: Oct 31, 2007 - 17:45 Too bad it's not on iTunes. I tried to buy it, to no avail. It is a great song. I'm a big sucker for rich harmonic structures and weird chord progressions... |
