Brooke Fraser is the Second Love of my Life

I LOVE BROOKE FRASER!

Two of her songs have been really hitting me today: Indelible and Scarlet. Here are the lyrics, and that's all I'm going to say.

Indelible
Walk along here, feel You move right there in front of me.
I can't place You with these eyes for the doubt I can't see. 
How could Someone so beautiful feel something for me?
Hold me and love me and touch me again and show me why I believe 
That the first time I see Your face, everything else around me will fade to the background
And I'll be struck full by the truth in Your gaze as You work and indelible change in me. 
All I have and all I am and all I think and do
Can find it's purpose and meaning and life only in You. 
How could Someone so beautiful feel anything for me?
Won't you hold me and love me and touch me again and show me why I believe 
That the first time I see Your face, everything else around me will fade to the background
And I'll be struck full by the truth in Your gaze as You work an indelible change 
And the first time I see Your face, everything else around me will fade to the background
And I'll be struck full by the truth in Your gaze as You work an indelible change in me 
An indelible change in me



Scarlet
middle of nowhere
finally you can breathe
nobody knows your name
it's easier 
shut your eyes tightly
clench your fists 'til they almost bleed
cautiously
lightly
gently expose what's underneath 
and all you feel now is the scarlet in the day
even if it's real, you can't stay
so there you go
you're gone for good
there you go
you're gone for good 
your mind is swollen
from months of thought without release
they've taken their toll on you
and this very moment of timid, fragile honesty
is precious and rare and fleeting

and all you feel now is the scarlet in the day
even if it's real, you can't stay
so there you go
you're gone for good
there you go
you're gone for good
