Antithesis Of A Gemini

Written for my wife as a poem on January 9, 1990, a couple days after we met, it is a song decades later. If you have a Gemini woman in your life, you will understand the duality in this song. Enjoy!

Antithesis Of A Gemini Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Following a map
With my bearings lost
Funny how
Our paths have crossed
Being observant
Being blind
It’s when you aren’t searching
That you find
[Pre-Chorus]
[soft, reflective]
I’ve always known you
We’ve only just met
I see your smile
Each time the sun sets
[Chorus]
[gentle lift, vulnerable but hopeful]
I feel so vulnerable
I feel so strong
Will you join me
In singing a song?
I’m standing steady
But my knees still shake
And your face keeps shining
In a clear, calm lake
[Verse 2]
So many mixed emotions
Not a thought in my mind
Don’t know what’ll happen
Or what we’ll find
I lose my direction
Then I know where to go
You feel like a question
I already know
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve always known you
We’ve only just met
I see your smile
Each time the sun sets
[Chorus]
I feel so vulnerable
I feel so strong
Will you join me
In singing a song?
I’m standing steady
But my knees still shake
And your face keeps shining
In a clear, calm lake
[Bridge]
[quieter, more intimate]
Maybe love is the answer
Maybe love is the doubt
Maybe I had to lose the road
To find you out
Maybe I’m divided
Maybe I’m finally whole
Two stars in the same sky
One tide in the soul
[Final Chorus]
[slightly fuller, subtle harmonies]
I feel so vulnerable
I feel so strong
Will you join me
In singing a song?
I’m standing steady
But my knees still shake
And your face keeps shining
In a clear, calm lake
[Outro]
[soft acoustic fade]
Following a map
With my bearings lost
Funny how
Our paths have crossed
