6. Julie

Julie, you caught me unaware
I didn’t know my heart could be so bare
Julie, always in between
I’m caught between the secret and the never seen
Even in my wildest dreams
There seems to be a common theme
Of you
Take evening tiredness down from me
And give me inner sanctity
Will you

Julie, it was not yesterday
That I believe you truly meant the things you say
Julie, the next time that we meet
I have ten worlds apart to set before your feet
Even in my strangest thoughts
There seems to be another caught
Not you
I look away from present gain
Walking down some leafy lane
With you

Julie, I know you well of old
Along with tales of romance that are paved with gold
Julie, how do we compare
The fact is awkward but you know I’m always there
Even in the wildest night
There seems to be a clearer sight
Of you
Dearer still and dearer much
The reassuring solid touch
Not you

Julie, my love
