Shards (Bonus Track)

Shards lose their edges one day

They stop cutting away

Just pebbles under the sea

Soft and round

They glow in colors like pearls

Each one has a mark from the hurt

Inside are fossils of my pain

Little things grow all over in the rain

Creatures from the past

Old lives and faces forgotten too fast

Shards are the jewels of my heart

It is special to me, it may mean nothing to you

Each lens is one of a kind, only I see my blues

Nothing changes

If I don't change it myself I must try

Darkness does not cease

I just have to leave

Can't find the rainbow

When looking down

But under my feat

Is the path that I found

The way that I lead at last

Shards are the jewels of my heart

You wonder about and why

The desert you see in my eyes

wine runs through rivers of red

mixed with blood and Bordeaux

I am all things that I loved

Trouble seemed so small when it passed

Love will be changing through time

Like the winter changes the trees

A long night

That lasted for a year

We cannot wait for another springtime

Shard are the jewels of my heart

You can cut all the flowers

But you can't keep springtime

From coming

Again

Oh, Neruda

My man

Tough people don't cry

Only in secret

An eye for an eye

made them tough

and tough love and fear, my dear

Will this all matter in a year

Shards are the jewels of my life
