Clara Keiper

Layin in a tangle of empty sheets
Sleepin with a dream that won't start
Someone keeps replaying everything you said
Love is just an ache in my heart
...

She lay where the fairies dance
In circles in a secret place
The light of day had broke their trance
But still the lady lay
...

In the corner of the room
Sits an empty cardboard box
I'm suppose to fill it up
with your sweat shirts
...

The empty spots still empty
a big hole he left behind
only tears and heartache
fill it now
...

We've walked too far down this road
to say we're innocent
Your married so am I
So we're not innocent.
...

His golden reign was passing by him
and his hair was turning gray
as he struggles hard to gather up
the courage not to walk away.
...

How do you kill a love
A love as strong as mine
A love that's meant to last for years
Until the end of time.
...

With a few loose coins in his pocket
He wandered up to the booth
He needed to answer a question
Have somebody tell him the truth
...

Mama come to Illinois
Can you come tomorrow
There's a park not very far
I run down by the water
...

You can go on living
until it's time to die
The caterpillar doesn't know
about the butterfly
...

Sometimes after night falls
and I'm lying here alone.
I hear that little melody
that sends me searching for my phone.
...

Baby you torture me
Hot then cold repeatedly

You are fire
...

She sat in front of a crystal ball
the window and the moon
contemplating the fate of the man
who lies in the other room
...

Witchy woman
In that long black dress
You know all the secrets
that I can't confess
...

on a cold day in the middle of winter
my grandmother was born
they wrapped her up
in a brand new quilt
...

Look at the butterfly making his way through
the branches of that twisted tree
Just as if nothing had happened today
and whole world was still as could be
...

I'm out of my closet
and you're out of your mind
trying to convince yourself
that your not my kind
...

Clever woman aren't you
You think you know what I do
Just because I'm out all night
Doesn't mean that things aren't right
...

Step into the moonlight
leave your life behind
I can feel you tremble
in the silence of the night
...

I can see you as plain as day.
walking around as if you weren't dead.
You walk across my yard
a red baseball cap
...
