Wrote this this week. Don’t know what I’d call this one - any ideas anyone? I thought “My Old Addiction” but that’s been done already …

I hear a whisper in my heart whenever I am in the dark

 - says : I am crazy; I am brave; I may not be so hard to save.

And every word tells of every scar along the road so far

I’ve got a feeling just one kiss could put an end to all of this

And I - need you

And I - I’m not too proud to say : that’s the way it is

Well, baby, I am many things. I know I sometimes lose my wings.

But I’ll never lose my heart & soul. I know that love can make me whole.

Just the memory of your face - and everything falls into place.

God knows I have seen the light. And you’re the one I want tonight.

I - want you.

And I - I’m not too proud to say: that’s the way it is.

That’s the way it is.

I need to take some time to deal with my afflictions.

You always make me smile - but you are my old addiction.

I thought I’d make some space between me and what I crave

So every day I’m letting go -

I hope you understand, I hope you know - that

I - miss you

And I wish you could hear me say:

that that’s the way it is.

I hear a whisper in my heart whenever I am in the dark

 - says: I am crazy, I am brave, but I might not be so hard to save.

   Benita, this sounds like something I can relate to. Can’t wait to hear it live! I’m not on your mailing list or anything but I’ve caught you at a few shows and I have to say your live set is awesome! I’d recommend you to anyone. You have a real gift. Please don’t stop!
