KIT HOLMES: Songs and Albums

• MP3 short clip, hi-fi play (broadband)

Like a mockingbird in a meadow
Whippoorwill in a tree
Eagle on a river
You seemed to fly from me
Too wild to be captured
With a heart so true
Rare bird, that is certain
That’s the essence of you

And I am lucky to have loved you
And that you chose to love me, too
All the things I’ve learned about love
Have the essence of you

A poet’s poet
Magician with a pen
Lyrics are your lover
And your closest friend
Too warm to ever be cruel
With a heart so true
Hard to find as a rare book
That’s the essence of you

And I am lucky to have loved you
And that you chose to love me, too
All the things I’ve learned about love
Are all the things I learned from you
I learned from you

Fire in a rainstorm
Diamond in the rough
Cold as steel and soft as silk
With an artist’s touch
Too colorful for a still life
With a heart so true
Wild exotic flower
That’s the essence of you

And I am lucky to have loved you
And that you chose to love me to
All the things I’ve learned about love
Have the essence of you
