Why does twilight make me cry? When all the weight is gone When all is said and done We're not only human Life is something set to music I can hear it when I'm sad There's a chord in every muscle Every kiss you ever had There's a power when you're near me In our heads or in our bones I know nothing but I'm guessing When we die we're not alone +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Jon Sebastian Frederiksen - 22nd /June /10 Just mail me at Maitinin@gmail.com with questions, comments and corrections!
