MICHAEL BONANNO & FRIENDS: From The Heart Soft rock, 60s rock, jazz

Susan, so serene, you seem so
strangely simple, yet, sometimes surprise me.
Carelessly you complicate my
life and kill the confidence inside me.
Bright as any sunny day I’ve ever seen
must be how the love you now hide once had been.
What in the world do you find so wrong
with sharing with someone your song
that’s been sadly silent for so long?

Put your pretty head upon my
imperfection, make my poor mind ponder
why, when with my wakefulness,
unwillingly, my thoughts will wildly wonder.
Smiling like the ocean spray that cools the shore,
you keep your love hidden behind your mind’s door.
Seems that some secret of love you know.
Where’s your world been? Where will it go?
Will you ever try to let it show?

Susan, so serene, I sadly
search to see what you’re saving your soul for.
Could it be my company’s
what’s causing you to keep becoming cold for?
Like a misty fog that hides the moon from view,
your love can’t be seen without being seen through.
Is this some fiction that you once wrote-
some silent song which has no note?
On which sea does Susan’s secret float?
