camping (alive in the moment)


heard you went camping with friends
and your new lover, building your new life
doesn't mean we have to end
i can love you and your new wife
all that really matters
is what we're feeling
the memories
alive in the moment
all that really matters
is what we're sharing
how much we care
alive in the moment
alive in the moment
alive in the moment
the moment
the moment

and i wish i was sleeping
under the stars
with you
tonight

and i wish we were speaking
under the stars
together
tonight

and i look up at the sky
and you look up at the sky
and no matter where we are
we see the same stars
we are together in our hearts
together in our minds
no matter where we are
we can find

we are living in the moment
under the stars
together
each night

we are living in the moment
under the stars
wherever
we're right

bonded by our love
our trust, our bond never ends
believing in each other
we'll always be friends

so here i am am sleeping
under the stars
with you
tonight

our hearts are still speaking
under the stars
together
tonight

as i look up at the sky
and you look up at the sky
no matter where we are
we see the same stars
we are together in our hearts
together in our minds
no matter where we are
we can find

we are living in the moment
under the stars
together
each night

we are living in the moment
under the stars
wherever
we're right

wherever we are
we are under the stars
together
each night

living in the moment
under the stars
wherever

The Story

1993 we met in correspondence
she knew exactly what to write
to get into my heart and mind

love is forever
no matter what
this is the most
precious dream I know

1995 she confessed her love for me
she told me her whole life was a lie
she needed me so she could fly

love is forever
love always grows
this is the most
precious dream I know

1997 two years of bliss and pain
I gave her control of my brain
she tried to make me go insane

love is forever
no matter what
this is the most
precious dream I know

1999 I gave her everything I could
from far away I waited for her
to do what she said she would

all the while she was begging me to hang on
all the while she was asking for everything I could give
all the while she was keeping me living in yesterday
using the power I gave her to keep me so far away

1999 she begged me to hold on
wait for me, she said, and I did
even when she was gone

love is forever
no matter what
this is the most
precious dream I know

I never really knew what was going on
all I knew was that my heart was gone
she begged me to leave it in her hands
is there anyone who understands?

2001 I crawled back to where I came from
finding myself lost and broken
half waiting half trying to understand
what happened and how to begin again
without my heart, how to begin again

love is forever
no matter what
this is the most
precious dream I know

2004 a correspondence, first time in three years
I felt my anger and pain dissolve in precious tears
I asked her why she actualized my greatest fear
I asked her to return my heart and mind if she would not come here
her silence fell upon me once again (I asked, why won’t you share?)
her indecision rose like a wall once again (I asked, why don’’t you care?)
only to find her that she would once again… disappear

I thought my heart was open
I thought my doors were open
I thought I was ready for love
so why am I alone

I thought that I was free and
I thought that I was me and
I thought I was over the past
I though that I had known

love is forever
no matter what
this is the most
precious dream I know

2008 again a few words from so far away
she confessed she used me, what else was there to say
was I the fool still waiting for her to return my heart?
and now, am I free?... where and how do I start?

she said she married another and he gave her a child
she moved on but she still will not let go
there is no room in her life for me today
but she will not let go
is it because I know

love is forever
no matter what
this is the most
precious dream I know

love is forever
the best I’ve got
how it can end is something
I still do not know

all the while she was begging me to hang on
all the while she was asking for everything I could give
all the while she was keeping me living in yesterday
using the power I gave her to keep me so far away

I never really knew what was going on
all I knew was that my heart was gone
she begged me to leave it in her hands
is there anyone who understands?

she still keeps the best of me
under her lock and key
even though she started over long ago
had another child with another man in 1999, oh
and yet she still will not return the things that keep me hanging on
so what am I to do when my heart and mind are gone?
this is the only way I know to carry on

love is forever
no matter what
love is still the most
precious dream I know

the next word you say

do you want to make love tonight?
i mean how do you feel about it
i ask as a friend, not as a come on
are you one who can take it of leave it
or are you one who can't live without it

do you want to make love right now?
i mean how important is it to you?
money sex power food or possessions
which of these are most important to you?
i ask because i want to know you

before we can go any further
before we can grow any closer
we need to be honest with each other
about what really turns us on

oh sure we can fake an orgasm
or we can pretend we are kind
for a moment we can be anything
but who lives deep inside your mind
that's what i want to find

oh yeah we can be well in control
existential or generous or casual
for a moment we can be anything
but what really motivates your rise
and what would cause your fall

what i offer is what i want to receive
the most precious thing to me can only be
honest unconditional love and trust
if this is too much then just keep looking past me
i am looking for someone who understands
can we place our lives in each other's hands
not in some fantasy or fairy tail
but in the real world where we just might fail

there are no perfect people
only perfect intentions
can we trust we offer the same?
the next thing you do
the next word you say
will let me into your game
now will you tell me your name?

do you want
do you want
do you want
what do you want tonight?

do you want
do you want
do you want
what do you want tonight?
