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 - 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 - 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,

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

The story is too painful now To ever try to tell it I feared the truth would be Oh, Lord, she left me s

Didn’t know what I was doin’ to you with my faith so secure Now you burn me in your fire of love and it hurts to be made pure Time after time I called to you to save me from the flood From the flood of consequences…for which you shed your blood But I’m goin…down to the river to wash my soul from sin Down to river… to let my Savior in. And Jesus Christ I pray to you send your Spirit from above My dying time is upon me please save me with your love For

Babe, these thoughts won’t pass me by Without a tear or two to cry. Babe, these tears of mine won’t dry And I’m gonna need a hundred years to cry… And I’m gonna need a hundred years to cry…

Desolation - 1982 https://soundcloud.com/timrohr/track-10?in=timrohr/sets/love-remembered-tim-rohr-and-dominic-macaller-1981&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing Do you know my desolation? Does your heart bleed down your breast? Please don’t sell me consolation. I’d rather suffer through the test. Do you know this death within me? Have you seen my face at night? Do you dream of me within you? Does your memory choke your life? I can’t remember you. I’ve shoved you out of my head. My soul surrounded you And you left me hear for dead. Do you miss me in the morning? Does your body ache for mine? Does the sunrise make you lonely? Has the night been too unkind? Does your heart ache with the memory? Do your thoughts waste into time? Does your soul break into pieces? When I happen to cross your mind? I won’t remember you. I’ve got to get you out of my head. My soul surrounded you And now, God, I swear that I’m dead.

And it’s not that I…have ceased to love you, Babe, It’s just that I can’t have the sun and moon. And it’s not that I…can’t bear to hold you, Babe, It’s just that I can’t breathe the

Blue eyes shinin’ over me. My heart had heard of you, my head was spinnin’ slowly sure to trust I fell in love with you or was it love that fell in love with us I smiled into myself and watched the day turn slowly in dusk For I had known of you from dreams gone by and Lord what did I see.. Blue eyes shinin’ over me… Blue eyes shinin’ over me… The cost of lovin’ you lied in your eyes and heavy on my heart But for this time of life, I couldn’t, wouldn’t even let it start But love it knows no time and life itself
