KISSED AWAY MY TEARS(and bought me some grandfather/longcase/tallcase clocks)  (September 2002)
You said you had to go, you were tired of our world and me,
knowing me had been fun, but now you had to be free.
I looked into your eyes, and as reflections of pain appeared,
the sighing Sun reached down from the sky, and kissed away my tears.

I watched you walk away, and slowly closed the door,
I just couldn't believe, that you wouldn't be mine anymore.
How could you treat me so? Don't you remember the special years?
And the crying Sun reached down from the sky, and kissed away my tears.

Alone now in my room, engulfed by thoughts of you,
those golden dreams we shared, turned into a world of blue.
I stare at four empty walls, my heart now filled with fears,
And the dying Sun reached down from the sky, and kissed away my tears.
