lyrics

with you i have no choice
only dreams to vent my thoughts
and my arms they feel to show no shame
to wrap them all around your love in vain

with you i have no voice
only eyes to speak my mind
but my memory astonishes
my memory's sublime

i run into the wind
and i find a silent space within
i run into the wind to be alone

i run into the wind so i can see
whats in my heart
i run into the wind to tell the truth

with you i have no name
only verse without refrain
but my chorus lives inside the rain
that seeks to stain the roof and windowpane

with you i have no frame
only shape that cant be claimed
but my violence lives inside lightning
that breaks a branch in half

i run into the wind
just to find a silent space within
i run into the wind to be alone

i run into the wind only i can see
whats in my head
i run into the wind to tell the truth

with you i have no smile
only habits like a child
and the moments i look forward to
are moments i have learned to hide from view

with you i have no goals
only days that dare unfold
like a flower that keeps blossoming
through no will of its own

i run into the wind
and i find a silent space within
i run into the wind to be alone

i run into the wind and i finally
sing whats in my heart
i run into the wind to tell the truth
i run into the wind to tell the truth

Emotions and Math
by Margaret Glaspy

supported by 4 fans who also own “To Tell The Truth”

I know this is itself a cliche but it feels insincere to attempt to use words to express the emotions this album elicited. I tried to use math to calculate how much joy and love I feel but again I came up short... anyway exquisite Sanders Ilenstine
