My dreams, my tears, my hopes, my fears. Yearning love I immerse. My world in a verse

Agree To Disagree
© 2012 Mark Cote
I don't blame you
for acting or saying what you do
we all have a different point of view
who am I to say what is right or wrong
what do you favor
a single scoop or a double dip
what kind of drink is it that you sip
we all taste the world a different way
(chorus) agree to disagree
you mean much more to me
like that
agree to disagree
seems it has to be
like that
when friendship means more than views
agree to disagree
with me
It doesn't matter
who or why it is you're thinking of
as long as it fills your heart with love
we all dance to a different song
(chorus)

Our First Christmas
© 2016 Mark Cote
tomorrow lady and yesterday man
walking today
walking hand in hand
looking forward she builds up his dreams
and all of his anguish she knows what it means
(chorus) our first Christmas
not the gifts we're sharing
it's the way that we're caring
you're a gift to me
I'm a gift to you
summer snowflakes melt a hardened heart
turning teardrops to a work of art
and she don't care that his life's been scarred
she just says "I love you how you are"
(chorus)
she's got her baggage she's been there before
that chapter has ended
she's opened the door
together they'll learn
to look for the fun
on this ride of life
before it's all done
(chorus)

Souvenir Tears

(chorus) What is that she's wearing
it's a chain of souvenir tears
What is that she's wearing
it's a chain of souvenir tears
so how did she collect them
she got them through the years
she started out so pretty
oh, and trusting everyone
but a doormat will get dirty
and the footprints are no fun
so she gathered up her tears
she gathered up every one
(chorus)
holding onto sorrow
can turn a heart to stone
not a road to follow
you'll always walk alone
she just wanted someone to hold her
and call her on the phone
walking in the shadows
You'll always feel outdone
under her umbrella
she's looking for the sun
when the chain gets heavy
I hope she finally finds the one
(chorus)

Icicles Of Vine
© 2016 Mark Cote
On a road in the shadows
in an unmarked town
where whispering winds
make a haunting sound
treetops will sway
to a dance undefined
brooding in long
Icicles of vine
words go repeated
yesteryear today
nothing new to learn
so throw it all away
in the ripples of doubt
in the river of time
continue to feed
icicles of vine
(chorus) take your life without a sign
icicles of vine
wrapping little by little
so slight you cannot see
getting much colder
each step by one degree
icicles, icicles, icicles of vine
walking life in circles
or so it now may seem
but when eyes are open
the ending of a dream
reality is cold
it shivers up your spine
but never colder than
icicles of vine
(chorus)

Encapsulated Tears
© 2016 Mark Cote
Did the sunlight
sting your eyes
did the night-time
chill your soul
is the bedroom
like a stranger
just a chamber
where dust will grow
and you must fly
and let it go
let it go
and fly away
(chorus) outgrow these tears
these encapsulated tears
outrun the years
of entrapsulated fears
when the windows you are looking through
are the walls of encapsulated tears
lovers whispers
are just paper
crumbled embers
in the snow
shadows walking
always backward
never forward
nowhere to go
and you must fly
and let it go
let it go
and fly away
(chorus)
(instrumental)
is the flutter
now just water
the waterfalls
of yesterday
bluebird sings
song forgotten
has it really
been that long
and you must fly
and let it go
let it go
and fly away
(chorus)
