Talk To Me (Brian Peters)
Talk to me about trouble
Talk to me about strife
Talk to me about men living
a double life
Talk to me about hunger
Talk to me about pain
Talk to me about men dying
and their deaths being in vain
Draw near
Put your lips to my ear
and talk to me
Talk to me about heartache
Talk to me about loss
Talk to me about men carrying
too heavy a cross
Talk to me about mercy
Talk to me about truth
Talk to me about forgiveness
in the kissing booth
Fold me
In your gentle sea
and talk to me
Talk to me in the whirlwind
Talk to me in the heat
Talk to me in the thunder
of the city’s feet
Talk to me in the stillness
far away from the noise
Talk to me sweetly
in that still, small voice
Steal away
from the cares of the day
and talk to me
--------------------
[Some unused verses]
Talk to me of the garden
Talk to me of the fall
Talk to me of that valley
and the prophets of Baal
Talk to me about religion
and the loss of God
Talk to me about the kingdom
and that level sword
Stay on
for the night is long
and talk to me
Talk to me about beauty
Talk to me about life
Talk to me about the colours
in the rainbow of light
Talk to me about magic
in a lover’s eyes
Talk to me about music
in the heart of the night
Lay down
on this covered ground
and talk to me
Talk to me in the riddle
of the spoken word
Talk to me in the alphabet
from another world
Talk to me about longing
for the one that we seek
Talk to me of that name
that no man shall speak
Thrill me
with mystery
and talk to me
