" Far Side of the Moon"

He said "I've got a secret!"

She can see all of the sparks

He left the door cracked open

Just enough so she could see inside his heart

He staked his claim out in the West

She came to live down South

They both practice gentle customs

And understand a long lost art

He pursues what he desires

And longs to tell her how he feels

He sees her deep and tender soul

And wants her because she is real.


Sometimes he thinks she doesn't see him

For who he thinks he is

His address was the house of "smoke and mirrors"

He learned how to keep his heart well hid.

"Just suppose she has me so high up on some lofty cloud?"

But she is a woman who understands

That God can put the heart of a king

Inside of a flesh and blood man

And she loves this flesh and blood man.


When he looks inside her eyes they tell a story

Like a book that he once read of wistful poems

She let him read between the lines to find the answer

To a question he stopped asking so long ago

To him she is like a masterpiece on canvas

So exquisite in his sight she takes his breath

He recalls the words she wrote in full disclosure

Now he sees her captured in a light he can't forget


Now, there is a part of me amazed in childlike wonder

As we stand here face to face inside this room

That you can see all of my colors this late in season

That you can see all of my colors long last in bloom

Like a well kept secret, I too resigned myself to silence

Never knowing I would find you here this soon

Your hand reached out to touch me in the darkness

You came and found me on the far side of the moon

I was dreaming.....out on the far side of the moon.
