Dear Willie Nelson—I wrote these lyrics. They have no music. Help.
Unveiled
FIRST VERSE
I met you in the moonlight
Your eyes reflected stars
You spoke to me in sonnets
You drove a fancy car
You made me dream of diamonds
And carriages of gold
I never saw it coming
Till you left me in the cold
CHORUS
Your cover is blown; your halo has slipped
The silver darts that pierced my heart were all poison tipped
Your motives were daggers like thorns on a rose
I am heartbroken, but you are exposed
SECOND VERSE
Your venom was mixed with honey
Your blade was sheathed in silk
The curdle of your darkness
I mistook for chocolate milk
How could I know your evil
When kindness was its screen?
I am heartbroken
But you are clearly seen
by Pamela Wester Jones
Absent
Co-written with John Crawford and Megan Jones
I don’t need the sun to glow
or the moon to hide the dark
I don’t need a light to show
Your love shining in my heart
When the day has lost its glimmer
And my eyes fail to see the stars
I will close my eyes and remember
This tender love of ours
Chorus
I’ll use your eyes for my mirror
Your fingers for my comb
Your arms can gently hold me
And where you are will be my home
Verse 2
The table is set for one
Beside me an empty chair
I cannot find my glasses to confirm that you’re not there
We are parted for a moment
But time is now my friend
I’m counting down the hours
Until we meet again
