COMING TO MY SENSES  (c) 2003 Monica E. Gómez, ASCAP Verse 1:  When my lover left me, I began to taste the sun. The feet I had been dragging broke into a run till I sat down on this park bench and heaved a long deep sigh. A time of peace and quiet has begun with our goodbye. Refrain:  I’m coming to my senses, waking to my time and place. A disciple of the moment, I’ve given up the chase. I’m dropping my defenses and coming to my senses. Verse 2:  I sit here still and silent as the statues in the park. I begin to smell the shadows and hear the day grow dark. I feel the birds inside me, their wings beating in my chest. I see the air around me bringing evening and sweet rest….Refrain Bridge:  I’ve been working hard at loving and trying to get along. I’m tired of going in circles about who’s right or wrong, so I broke the dizzy cycle and now we’re both set free. I’m savoring the sunset, doing what makes sense to me….Refrain
