I quite liked them, and again, feel that the first is the stronger of the two. With the right tune and a bit of tweaking, the 'goosebump' factor could be there.

The second paints some pretty pictures but doesn't tell a very interesting story. You can get away with a poor story if you have a stunning tune and great imagery... unfortunately we can't 'hear' the tune and the imagery is good in places. The first verse made me feel nostalgic (especially liked the line 'the morning seemed to break before the night had time to pass' - that sums up a whole year of my life!) and I wanted to hear more, but the passion seemed to fade and interest waned.

Just my opinion... well you did ask!
