A song of unrequited love. An experience I knew too well. This song was inspired by a girl with whom I got over a long time ago, but this song is still with me, and I think it still kicks.

CAPACITY TO LOVE

I can't dream of love,
a soul like mine cries
and a lonely teardrop dies.
Cry and feel my pain.
Cry and feel my pain.


I can't see a sparrow...
Joy is not a word,
I am not the bird.
Fly and grieve my way.
Fly and grieve my way.


You see in me what I want to show
confiscate my broken heart and go.


I can't hear the harp
or a thousand violins
to wash away my sins.
Kiss my tears and stay.
Kiss my tears and stay.

Instrumental

Time has overcome me
become my enemy
will I ever be free,
To love and feel the same?
To love and feel the same?

Clouds hide the rainbow
feel the hurricane blow
and take my heart and go.
I know you have to leave.
I know you have to leave.
