Only For You

about

I was shot down by somebody I really liked. The emotion that I got from being shot down inspired this song. This song is not for them, about them, or even in reference to them; but it should be noted that I wouldn't have written this song without that event happening. Thank you for that. This song is great!

lyrics

Here I am a gentle creature. A gentle creature from the sea.
My shiny fins cause a disturbance. A disturbance inside me.
My eyes bulge out. I have six tentacles. Yet I am gentle as can be.
So my darling you did beckon me. Called me from my spacious sea.

Here I am the sky above you. The stars above you. The air you breathe.
Here I am twinkling for you. Standing before you as a flea.
I know that you wish I was different. Something different that can't be.
For I am me myself before you, and I adore you only as me.

Into the night I shall return and as the oil lamps will burn I'll write what you mean to me.
A ditty or a dirge or a lullaby I search for the eyes I wish to see.
Just what you mean to me.
Why did you beckon me?

Here I am, I am the moment, I am the second, but I can't freeze.
Time moves on and time moves forward, and I'll move forward if you please.
Rushing on, rushing on, no one notices me.
As long as I am with you I am all that I'll ever be.

Into the night I shall return and as the oil lamps will burn I'll write what you mean to me.
A ditty or a dirge or a lullaby I search for the eyes I wish to see.
Just what you mean to me.
Why did you beckon me?
