A Prelude To A Love Song

"These Static Laced Daydreams, They Sing Me To Sleep"

~Kurt Straube - Feeling Nothing (duet with A.M. Huffman)~

That quote came from a song written by Kurt Straube and myself.

This song was written, many months ago, by Kurt Straube and myself.

A Prelude to a Love Song

A small step
Out of line 
I broke character again
We had our roles
We knew our lines
We’d both been through this dance before
And in the dark
We softly waltzed 
Keeping time by the moon stars
Two lead roles
Top billing
The pressures on the house if filling

And so we held
Our souls entwined
Those roles we played
Those perfect lines
Your gentle eyes
Both ash and wine
Your scripted smile
Echoing mine

The understudies
Have been sent home
Beneath this mask I start to sweat
The lines are said
The marks are met
And like a thief you take your stand
I dropped my role
Begged for your hand
And as the scene falls to black
I thought I saw 
Beneath your eyes
Ruby red lips spread a little grin

And so we held
Our souls entwined
Those roles we played
Those perfect lines
I only wished
You’d read my mind
I’m not these words
There’s more to me

We didn’t have to play these roles
You didn’t need your character
We didn’t have to play these roles
We’re just a beggar and a thief

And so we held
Our souls entwined
Those roles we played
Those perfect lines
Those characters
Have gone and died
And the crowd has walked away
