I have looked for myself.
(Words & Music Fran & David. February 2021)

I’ve looked for myself
In this lockdown
I’ve looked for myself
In despair
I’ve looked for myself
In my highs and my lows
Not a trace do I find
Of me anywhere)

(So now) I look for myself
in your Shadow
I look for myself
In this song
I’ve looked for myself
In our audience of echoes
Empty seats where…
Memories linger on

(So now) I (just) wander / wonder - about
What can I do?
Because - I CAN NOT find myself… anywhere
Without you.
Without You.
I (just) cannot find me,
Without you.

I’ve looked for myself
In religion
I’ve searched for my-soul
In the Sun
I’ve looked for myself
In your Spirit of Love
Light and Laughter
Together as one

I’ve looked for myself
In your mirror
I’ve looked for myself
In your poems
I’ve looked for myself
In the letters I found
Unfinished dreams …
of us never being alone.

We can look to the stars
For when the future is due
But - I can’t find myself… anywhere, Without you.
Without you.
I just cannot find me…
Without you
