TWO FRIENDS

TWO FRIENDS - 1981 https://soundcloud.com/timrohr/track-5?in=timrohr/sets/love-remembered-tim-rohr-and-dominic-macaller-1981&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing   I sit this morning, my gaze upon the ocean, Looking at that ship across the sea. Wondering where she’s going, wondering where she’s been, Wondering if she’ll ever remember me. Our time together was never quite enough. The days they came and went too soon. But she left her love in side of me forever. It let me know this afternoon. A friend like him, I’ve never had before. Didn’t even know what friendship was. Till i discovered another part of me, In a friend that loved me just because. I can’t forget the night that i left you. I must have cried a thousand miles. And i got to learn to live my life without you, But i guess that’s gonna be a while. I guess that’s gonna be a while

DRAGON SONG

 Dragon Song - 1982. "Fur Gianna"  https://soundcloud.com/timrohr/track-6?in=timrohr/sets/love-remembered-tim-rohr-and-dominic-macaller-1981&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing Well I didn’t mean to leave you and i don’t know why i did.  Just what it was that bought me here, was it something that is said?  I couldn’t really keep you, and i knew i wouldn’t try.  Better first to leave you dear than to watch our lovin’ die. But I’m a long way from home, and i got lovin’ on my mind.  Don’t think that i don’t miss you cuz i do.  And if you’re all alone please think of me sometime,  Cuz all i really wanted was just you. Faded blue jeans, silken gown, i wouldn’t really care.  If i could see my true loves eyes run my fingers through her hair.  With a smile and a laugh I’m sure I’d see the dragon in her eyes.  That’s why i had to leave you dear, i knew you had to fly. But I’m a long way from home, and i got lovin’ on my mind.  Don’t think that

TAKE HIM BACK TO HEAVEN

 Take Him Back to Heaven - 1982 https://soundcloud.com/timrohr/track-15/s-Us7Ax?in=timrohr/sets/love-remembered-tim-rohr-and-dominic-macaller-1981&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing I dreamt that I might hear you Laughing next to me. And I dreamt that I might hold you And love you tenderly. I knew that I could love you, Oh, but for the chance God, take him back to heaven  To join you in your dance And I still hear you crying In my soul at night I’m sorry for your dying It didn’t turn out right. We loved each other, ________ God knows it was so strong But somewhere in our loving We must have loved too long. It wasn’t just the feelings It must have been the time Like trying to write a poem Without a verse to rhyme And I still hear you crying In my soul at night I’m sorry for your dying It didn’t turn out right. I won’t forget him, ____________ The son we never had And I won’t forget you either Your eyes still make me sad And forgive this letter,

Coconut, banana, pina colada,

YOU NEVER KNOW

 You Never Know - 1982 https://soundcloud.com/timrohr/you-never-know?in=timrohr/sets/love-remembered-tim-rohr-and-dominic-macaller-1981&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing Lord to see her again Once again,  Tell me when Does it really have to end Once again,  Lose a friend Lord to see her one more time Pretend she’s mine Leave the past behind Would it be Lord too unkind Would I be blind To think her mine Will this night turn into morning Will this day take back it’s light Will you shut your heart forever On this friend of yours tonight Did you really have to go You never know,  You told me so Did you really want for more What’s it for? He loves us more. Someday life may turn around And there you’ve found Without a sound The love of which I’ve always sung The search is done At last she’s come Will this night turn into morning? Will this day take back it’s light Will you shut your heart forever On this friend of yours tonight? Oh I loved you Bonni
