Lyrics
My Place (written by Kiyomi)
I can only sit and wonder, why I didn’t let you in
My heart felt like it was floating, seeing the spark still in your eyes
Your smile is so real it feels like a serenading
Strange how that smile seems to cause me to back away
I can only sit appalled, at why I never let you in
When my heart just keeps on screaming, but to you I appear unshaken
My disguise causes pain to pierce through your eyes
Funny how that pain bounces right on back to me
Chorus:
It’s like my life just dances on by but somehow my heart’s still stuck
I try, to find my place
Though I resist can I find the calm to ease my way out there
Into my place
I can only sit and hope, that I’ll follow what I’ve known
But my heart feels a little frantic, clinging to a hope that’s drifting away
The truth is that my fear, is what keeps me here stranded, astray
Can I let my fear fade you to a mere memory?
Chorus
Can I let my fear fade you to a mere memory?
Music is meant to speak to the soul, to transport the listener to another space on a different plane of understanding. If the artist does her job, the listener is taken to a place deep inside the realm of emotional connectivity; I'm supposed to feel the words you sing, experience the story you tell through the melody of your voice. Listening to you took me somewhere deep tonight; after a couple of careful playbacks I had to write to you, if not for any other reason than to tell you that tonight, your music made me smile. And I haven't smiled in a long time. It's refreshing to hear something, someone different. Thank you, Kiyomi.
