Story Behind The Song

Greg Beale ~ Trinity, once again, has produced a beautiful piece, that is both, delicate and stirring, and has honored me with another invitation to add lyrics and vocals. His great musical talent is combined with a fine talent to mix, master and produce. It is always such a pleasure to work with him and his kindness, during production! Thank you again Greg!

Song Description

The lover's affections are returned, with only charming lies, from the beloved.

Lyrics

I was lost
Right there in the city
So I headed for the mountains
And ready to go
Oh ooo, so ready to go

It was a warm, summer night
So long ago
and your sweet embrace
Felt like coming home
Oh oh, felt like coming home

But when the summer died
It took you with it
To regions you paid
Into my heart, then you spent it
You spent it all
You spent it all

Now life continues
As if a dream
A foggy mantel of mystery
It seems so tersely beautiful
You spoke of loving me
If not sincere, at least in bounty

Charm offensive
Your modus operandi
The lies you've spoken
Belies your token of loving me
Oh, your love for me

And your
Charm offensive
Is so expensive
It cost you my love
When laid at your feet
From one who cared
One who truly cared

(Instrumental break)

But please don't think
That all of your charm
Has taken root
Inside of my heart

And something so alive as life
If no care is taken
Can extinguish Purest Light
In the dark recesses of the night
In my dark night
In my dark night

(Instrumental break)

(CODA)

Charm offensive
Your modus operandi
The lies you've spoken
Belies its token of love for me
Your love for me

Charm offensive
Is so expensive
It cost you my love
When laid at your feet
From one who cared
One who truly cared

Now, I close my eyes
To take a break
But it all comes rushing back
And I feel the same heartache
I'm right back there
Just right back there, again

You charm offensive
Is so expensive
It cost you my love
When laid at your feet
From one who cared
One who truly cared

(Instrumental out~)
