Some Time Away

Some Time Away
Some hours take forever some take days
Sometimes we are together
sometime away
You give I am Receiving- I give away
What you kept me believing – that I would stay
Your foresight not misleading-
you knew the cost
I’m running you’re still bleeding-
Who’s at a loss
I’m tired of retreating- I’m tired of games
My will is old and beaten- yours just the same
Might we forget forever- Live in the day
I’ll forsake all but never- Trade you away
Trade you away
Some hours take forever some take days
Sometimes we are together
sometime away

Some Things Never Change

Some Things Never Change
Air raid sirens stir my sleep,
My eyes upon the sun
Hungry mouths to feed today,
and my work has just begun
The sweetest winds they once blew
across an angry sea
I miss the coast that means the most
and I miss my family
My oh my we married young
And stayed beneath where
we came from
My oh my we weren’t so strange
Funny some things never change
In the city, sunset’s light
has opened up my eyes
I’ve learned to dance and love romance
and gamble for my life
I’ve filled my pockets full of dust
and a simple serenade
Funny how we’ve come so far
yet some things never change

Missed A Page
03:25

Missed a page
Of all I lost and all that I’ve gained….
I miss myself the most….
I’m just living with my insides
as I tangle with the ghost
I’m digging through this garbage
that crowds my busy mind
Now I’m missing all the pages
and catching up on time
I wish I’d made the perfect list
Of what’s become and what I’ve missed
I wish I’d danced the perfect dance
But I missed a page and missed my chance
All I see is myself and I’m on shaky ground
I haven’t lost the sightlines,
yet I haven’t heard a sound
I haven’t felt the need to breath
in about one hundred days
So I grabbed the boat to nowhere
and skipped the final page

Ever Been To New Orleans
04:10
|

Have you ever been to New Orleans?
Think you have but you've never seen
Say you live in a halfway town
Where there’s no one left but you around
I think it’s time to waste your time
To waste your time away
I think it’s time to say it’s mine
And spend another day
I think what you came here for
You came to save your soul
Instead you found your new best friend
And you lost all your control
Thought you knew that you'd come back
But you don’t know my ways
Thought you choose the lesser run
In hopes the journey pays
Thought you heard that little voice
That hides inside your head
All you heard was the preacher’s words
So you live your life instead

Choice
02:47
|
|||
Sitting down here
trying to pass the time
Looking at pictures
in the book of my mind
Silent movies and whispering tales
Telling the story of the truth unveiled
I can’t make you make your choice
In what is right I have no voice
A simple prize, a point of view
Deep inside what’s right for you
Snakes and ladders
are your ups and downs
You’re trying to find me
but I can’t be found
Your little space
your walls are closing in
The time is right
so why don’t we begin

That's Me
04:28
|
|||
Man we had some good times
Doing lines off the bar
My old man up and left me
Frozen time in a jar
He’s just a bag of broken bones
And it suits me just fine anyway
So now I’m telling stories about the good ol’ days
We were carefree and careless in love
But I don’t feel the same way
When push comes to shove
Sometimes I wonder if
This life’s too intolerable
And like all good things in time
We are replaceable
Older and I’m wiser- maybe, I’m not sure
Standing on a corner looking for more
Like pictures in my mind
So many memories
Still around to remember the good times
Of a lifetime…that’s me

Birdsong
02:33
|

Love’s what keeps us both alive,
free to come and go
You say our souls are too contrived
and sinking ever slow
I say our souls are bound
for something bigger than the plan
As we float a top this tiny world
with harmony in our hands
The Blackbird’s bigger than you and me
The blackbird’s lived reality
The blackbird sleeps the day away
The blackbird’s faced the world today
Well I learned to soar like never before
when time was all that stood
A bird in flight had said goodnight
and harbored all he could
Love’s what keeps us both alive,
free to pick and choose
The only loss we’ll ever face
is the one we’ll never lose

What You Need

What You Need
Smile of a flower girl
Wave of a frowning clown
Dreams and emotions-
Being swept up by the clouds
Time and relations- are easy to find
Searching your headspace
Just hoping that you’ll find
What you need
So long for goodbyes
The days are getting long
Seeming to try some
Just staring at the lawn
Too much too wonder
It always gets you down
Looking for answers
Just hoping that you’ll find
What you need

To Be Loved
03:34
|
|||
You don’t know how it feels
You don’t care what is real
You hide away the things you fear
Landing your plane without gear
Time fades away- it passes on by
To know how it feels to be loved
In a while you’ll be the same
Cause I know what it means
to be loved
You don’t know what it’s like
Living your life in time
Soon you will know what is right
Losing the will without a fight

Somewhere
03:10
|
|||
Can you reach me dare I wonder
Somewhere over somewhere under
Can you hear me ,should I know
Somewhere’s too far to go
Threatened in to understanding
I’ll soon be understood
I’ll take my time to state my case
The way I wish you would
For every bottle upon the wall
I’ll kindly state my name
I’ll wear my heart upon my sleeve
And put my mind to shame
CH
Over time , I’ve been overjoyed
At the lack of sights and sounds
I’ve built myself from top to bottom
And I’ve stood on softer ground
Those in front will move about
And surely they’ll move me
But I am moving on
To peg my destiny
