Alone
copyright 1/2013
Will you ever let me go?
Will you ever let me know?
Just how long you have wanted this
Just how long you have needed
To go, to go
I ve been waiting here so long
And I ve been trying to be strong
But I don t want this anymore
But I don t want to close the door
To you, to you
And I will never understand
I know we never had a plan
But I will miss you
When the morning sun shines
Down on me alone, alone, alone
Best of What's Left
copyright 2/2015
I heard you were leaving today on a train headed south
I couldn t think of anything to say, I just smiled, how ironic
I thought I had just decided to love you, now you re leaving
should have I, told you before you were gone
just one more thing that I ll never know
I wish you the best of what s around
as for me, well I ll be, lookin for the best of what s left
I took for granted all of your time was for me
I should have known, better than that,
you were always the brightest light, in my life
you needed to shine and I wasn t looking as you sailed through my sky
now you have landed and I feel so far from your fire
I wish you the best of what s around
as for me, well I ll be, lookin for the best of what s left
Brighter Side

Hey sister I can see
A dead zone behind your eyes
Come walk awhile with me
See what I see inside
In the hand that you ve been dealt
I know you had some bad cards
But you got aces up your sleeve
Put em down and play your part
Just don t do nothin
Please just do somethin
Because in your heart of hearts
You know you re better
You know you re stronger
You just need to remember
You think I don t understand
That I can t walk in your shoes
But I ve seen your brighter side
And I know you can pull through
We have so short of a time
Down here on God s good earth
Come on let me see you smile
Live life for what it s worth
Just don t...
So if you can be strong for me when I need you to
That s how I know you can do anything you set your mind to

We started out in Oceanside
Wind to our backs, we were on west coast time
We left the sea and we headed out
Into the desert, into the mountains, we climbed the mountains
Yeah we were runnin out of time we were runnin for our lives
Yeah we were runnin out of time we were runnin for our lives
The flies in Kansas, they drove us wild
Still comin down from that Rocky Mountain High we were flyin
Early mornin misty light
Sippin on instant cawfee, drivin over the mighty Mississippi
Yeah we were runnin out of time we were runnin for our lives
Yeah we were runnin out of time we were runnin for our lives
Crossin over that Jersey border
Never felt safer, never felt stronger in that cool salt water
Your were with us then as you are with us now
Here in our hearts stand up and take a bow
Yeah we were runnin out of time we were runnin for our lives
Yeah we were runnin out of time we were runnin for our lives
Closure
copyright 2004
I see you as you see me walk into the room
I know it bugs you that I will not talk to you
There is a limit of just how much I can take
But don t you worry baby I will never break
You re tryin to talk to me with those deep blue eyes
If you were half a man you d just apologize
Just tell me that you re sorry
And that once you might have loved me
That s all I want to know
Just tell me that you re sorry
And that once you really loved me
And then just let me go
Don t think that you could ever come back in my life
That s not what I am saying you re too sharp a knife
It would just be easier for when I see your face
To know that deep inside I have not been erased

Oh Danny Boy
Why are you still runnin
Oh . Danny Boy
You always get your lovin
A little bit here and a little bit there
But no-one you ll call home
Home I ve heard you speak of it
Ever since the day we engaged
In our very first conversation
You told me everything you know
And then with your next breath
You simply said you had to go
Oh Danny Boy
You told me once that when you dream, you dream of me
Oh ..Danny Boy
That is where I will always be
Daydreams
copyright 2001
I see you standin cross the room
You look just the way you do, every time I close my eyes
I want to run into your arms
Just the way I do, every time I close my eyes
But I turn and look away
Cause I cannot run to you, no I can t behave that way
Once upon a time you were just a dream to me
And than my dream, came true or so I thought
But you, you don t wanna dream with me
No you re to afraid, you re afraid of waking up
So you wake me up with you and now I m left
With only my Daydreams
On an August afternoon
We were sailing cross the blue, sea together
You re dreaming of a boat that is twice the size of this one
In your head we can sail across the world
Breathing in everything around us
Living freely as we please, you and me on the sea
Once upon
Why did you have to wake us up, t was so nice to be with you
We could have made our dreams come true
Maybe .baby
There you go, on your way again
You re gonna get into your car, and drive on home
Though I used to go with you
And we d stay up until 2, you with me and me with you
So you ve gone out of my life
Now you re only in my head, and you re only in my heart

Sister Sunshine, you warm my heart
It s been a long time since we were apart
The time is coming the inevitable truth
We re growing further and further from the days of our youth
How the carefree years do fly
And time keeps on slipping by
Now it s time to say Goodbye, goodbye
Sister of mine, it s been a lot of years
A pleasant combination of laughter and tears
You know I ll always be just a phone call away
So call me anytime even if you have nothing to say
Take my hand and hold on tight
You re forever in my mind
Even though we say Goodbye, goodbye
Fire Song
copyright 2019
Throw another log on the fire tonight
Let's leave the cold outside
Just you and me and another bottle of beer
I'm so happy to be here
So tell me all about your worries
And I'll try to ease your mind
Or you can just play upon those old ivory keys
And I'll just sit here be your side
Well i know that you are lonely sometimes
And the truth is so am i
But i always feel at home in your arms
I hope you feel the same in mine
So tell me all about your worries
And I'll try to ease your mind
Or you can just play upon that old mandolin
And I'll just sit here be your side
Don't you know i long to be
Your sweet harmony
I tried so hard, i gave you everything i had
You took me for a ride, we went so far we went so fast
Oh Frankie...
So tell me all about your worries
And I'll try to ease your mind
Or we can gaze upon that old milky way
And I'll just sit here be your side
Fool
copyright 2001
Hey babe, I haven t seen you for awhile,
And just like usual you re lookin good with that sloppy kinda style
You got that look like you don t care and I reckon that you don t
And I know that I should walk away, but I know I won t
Now here you come my way you re gonna buy me a drink or two
I know the deal by now nothin s new with me how bout you
Ya been out of town again, too busy to call me up
So I listen to you ramble on, as I sit and sip my cup
Why can t my heart ever follow my head followin what s right
And if I know one goddamn thing I shouldn t be with you tonight
Instead my head always follows my heart followin no rules
And just like usual I m gonna leave myself playin the fool for you
I don t know what you got over me you make me crazy for you
Tomorrow you ll be gone and there is nothing I can do
Still when you look at me and you want me to bring you home
It s tonight I can t resist, no I don t wanna be alone
Frame of Mind
copyright 1999
Sittin waitin on the corner
For the taxi cab to come and take me far away
Goin somewhere new and different
I'm goin to a place where nobody knows my name
Yeah I won t know till I get there
Just how it s gonna look or where it s gonna be
Maybe it s just the next town over
Or maybe it s right here with a different kind of me
Oh if I could change my frame of mind
Into something that would never get me down
Oh if I could control my frame of mind
Maybe I wouldn t feel so stifled in this small town
Yeah I got a steady job that pays my bills
But still sometimes I feel that I should be doin more
I got a roof over my head to keep me safe and warm
Yeah I m lucky in that way or so they say
I got a bar I go to every week...they all know my face
And they named my favorite drink after me
My life has been good to me got no cause to complain
But sometimes I still do now why should that be
Oh if...
Would going far away be like running away from the things in life
That challenge my soul or should I just stay
And make things right in my head...I just don t know
Sitting at the playground that used to be so different
They tore up all the old swings to make room for the new
I used to play here as a child...well I never really stopped
Sitting on these swings when there s nothin else to do
You know the best way I ever found
To forget about the things that are draggin me down
To swing as high as I can possibly swing at this playground
Gettin back to where i came from
Frankie

It was a cloudy day in December, when we first met
They told me never trust those girls out on the island
But there we were.... Together
I brought you home, you fit right in
We both needed a little help
You saved my life, you broke my heart
Oh but i never thought it would end like this...oh Frankie
I tried so hard, i gave you everything i had
You took me for a ride, we went so far we went so fast
Oh Frankie...
I may have pushed you a little too hard
I thought that was what you wanted
I'd really hoped after that last fight
We'd turned the corner into our lives...together
Oh Frankie...
I tried so hard, i gave you everything i had
You took me for a ride, we went so far we went so fast
Oh Frankie...
Starting over is hard to do
But I'm getting along just fine without you
I tried so hard, i gave you everything i had
You took me for a ride, we went so far we went so fast
Oh Frankie...
Homecoming
copyright 2002
So I packed up all my bags looking back I own too much
I got so many little things I can t let go of
Kept a postcard from my love so many years ago
When I see it I think of a time and place I used to know
I m goin back to my home town gotta think the whole thing through again
I m back to wondering who I am, now I m not with you again
Well it s a homecoming, a time for coming home
I was walking now I m runnin
I think I finally, finally found where I belong
Now I m driving down that road every bump in the pavement draws a memory
Will I be here when I m old will you be right here next to me
There s the tree I used to climb when I was just a girl
He gave me shelter from the storms of my younger world
Well it s a homecoming...
Funny how one thing makes you turn and look around
What you see ain t what you get
Ain t what you want
But someone somewhere
Somehow gets what he needs
It s a little bit different back this time around
The things that used to mean so much don t seem to now
The re-evaluation has only begun
So in between the heavy things let s have some fun
Homefires
copyright 2/2015
covered by a blanket of soft white
down a frozen dirt road
in the pines in the pines I can see the sun shine
through the evergreen needles that soften the blowing
of the cold northern wind that can rip through your soul
on the top of a mountain all covered in snow
keep your home fires burning for me
I ll be home soon just you wait and see
cause there s nothing that shines
as bright as the love in your eyes
for me
down by the seaside the smell of the salt in the air
mixed with the kiss of the sun in my hair
and the songs of the gulls o re the bay
I just close my eyes and I m drifting away .
tho the going can be hard at times
the road can look endless and winding
it s all I know just to keep on moving
on and on and on
keep your home fires burning for me
I ll be home soon just you wait and see
cause there s nothing that shines
as bright as the love in your eyes
for me
oh no there s nothing that shines
as bright as the love in your eyes
for me
Just Another Love Song
copyright 2017
I've got a tale to tell for you
Song as old as it is true
The oldest story in the world
About a boy and a girl
For many suns and many moons
They watched eachother from across the room
Crossing paths with a wink and a smile
Finally stopped to talk for awhile
Could you feel the way i do?
And can your eyes really be that blue?
How can your hand simply touching mine...
Make me feel drunker that the finest wine
I forgot how hard i can fall
Thought i was strong enough to take it all
I had been waiting for you for so long
I didn't want you to be just another love song
Falling into a loving embrace
Finally we came face to face
Fell into passion in front of the fire
You whispered to me your every desire
I forgot how hard i can fall
Thought i was strong enough to take it all
I had been waiting for you for so long
I didn't want you to be just another love song
Kisses Like That
copyright 2001
You came up like an ocean wave
No warnin , I m off my feet
Chokin , gaspin , for breath
Salt in my eyes, I can t see
Just as I can stand up again
Lookin around for my whereabouts
Soaked to, chilled to, the bone
I m lookin for you, you re gone
Oh I love the way that you loved me
And I miss the way that you held me
And I love the way that you kissed me
You said..."Nobody kisses anyone like that."
Lights in the Sky
copyright 9/11/01
Lights in the sky
Symbols of our American pride
Standing 110 stories high
The Glory of our NY Skyline
Lights in the sky
Lives are crumbled out of sight
Loves are lost, the people cry
Terror came and people died
So we stand and we stand proud
We stand tall and we stand loud
We will remember forever right now
To our freedom we are bound...we are bound
Lights in the sky
Heros working through the night
Searching for a sign of life
Hope gets dim but it won t die
Lights in the sky
Candles raging in the night
We will stand, we will unite
And for our Freedom we will fight
The Lost Sweater Waltz
copyright 8/2013
Well I left my favorite sweater down in Asheville
But I hope it will be comin back real soon
Cause I left it with a dear old friend in Asheville
Who said he might just come and see me on the next full moon
When I first saw that sweater it was soft and pale grey
And I wore it all of the time
Lord I spilled so many drinks on that sweater of mine
I died it brown to cover up the red wine
I left my favorite sweater down in Asheville
But I hope it will be comin back real soon
Cause I left it with a dear old friend in Asheville
Who said he might just come and see me on the next full moon
Well I ve had that sweater for so many years
And I ve worn it all over the world
It kept me warm at night down in old Mexico
Back when I was a younger lookin girl
I left my favorite sweater down in Asheville
But I hope it will be comin back real soon
Cause I left it with a dear old friend in Asheville
Who said he might just come and see me on the next full moon
Oh I hope that my dear old friend in Asheville
Will remember to bring my sweater home to me
Cause otherwise I ll have to go out shopping, you see
And doing that will just bring me misery
I left my favorite sweater down in Asheville
But I hope it will be comin back real soon
Cause I left it with a dear old friend in Asheville
Who said he might just come and see me on the next full moon
Luckiest Girl
copyright 1/2013
I woke up today like Bob
Smiled with the rising of the Sun
Looking down, got two feet on the ground
Ain t I the lucky one
Got ten fingers on two hands
Got some coffee in my cup
Got six strings to help me write this sing down
Ain t I the lucky one
Oh I think I m the luckiest girl in the world
Yes I feel like the luckiest girl
Oh I think I m the luckiest girl in the world
Yes I feel like the luckiest girl
I have air in both of my lungs
and for that, I am so grateful
I ve got loved ones to spend all my time with
And for that I am so grateful
Oh I think I m the luckiest girl in the world
Yes I feel like the luckiest girl
Oh I think I m the luckiest girl in the world
Yes I feel like the luckiest girl
I may not be a rich girl
I got no diamonds in my shoes
But I have less to lose
Oh I think I m the luckiest girl in the world
Yes I feel like the luckiest girl
Oh I think I m the luckiest girl in the world
Yes I feel like the luckiest girl
Mandy (ryan's song)
copyright 2011
Mandy can you still hear me?
I heard you're packing up and heading wesy
For ten years i've watched you struggling
Searching for the life that will be best
Nylon strings, red wine and some whiskey
Watch me for the change cause here it comes
I ll think about you as I m swimming through the clouds
Looking out the window at the ground
With you it was love at 1st note
and I knew from that day forward
you d be part of every song I ever wrote
Miss You So
(for my dad) copyright 2004
In a church all broken down
On the other side of town
There s a lady who sits and prays
For some meaning to her days
She lived her whole life
As a mother and a wife
Now her kids are mostly grown
And she thinks he left her all alone
As he watches from above
He is sending all his love
Wishes she could see a sign
She just sits and sips her wine
Somewhere high up in the Rockies
Young man fumbles for his car keys
Weight of the world upon his shoulder
As he looks down over Boulder
He s got tears behind his eyes
He knows at home a mother cries
Are we really all alone?
Through the trees the wind starts to moan. . .
So how s the view from where you are
Have you ascended to the stars
Can you really hear me cry
When I look up screaming why
2 am the bar is closin
Walk outside the air is frozen
I cry because I miss you so...
You send me a song on the radio
Moments
copyright 2004
Lookin out the window on this rainy New Years morn
Thinkin bout the man she had on the night before
Was it worth the hairstyle or the bottle of perfume
Man she was still sleeping when he snuck out of her room
I can hear them talking why does she go back with him?
They re callin her a loser they all think that it s a sin
But somewhere in the darkness sometimes she sees a light
And in the moment s glimmer she s beautiful in his sight
So maybe this year it will get better
It s the one we won t forget
Promises, resolutions...no more regrets
In a smoky room log walls with mortar in between
Like the space between our thoughts,
just like the days between my dreams
Across the room our eyes meet now my heart in on the floor
You re smiling and you wink at me
But you re walkin out that door
So I ll spend the next few days replaying in my mind
The smile you wore for me for that moment in time
North Country Snow
copyright 3/2015
Well there was something in the air that night
At the old Delta Blue
I tried but I couldn t stay away
You came walkin through the door that night
At the old Delta Blue
And I knew that my luck was about to change
Ya had that long gone lonesome look in your eye
With a glimmer of hope behind it
You sat next to me and bought me a beer
The you sang me songs so sweet and true and I
Moved a little bit closer to you
And my eyes filled on up with happy tears
I can t figure out what I was thinkin
Must be some kind of fool I know
Cause I left you, standing there
In the cold north country snow
Well that snow started tumblin down
And it was crazy, swirling round and round
Then you kissed me, and this old heart missed a beat
Like a river runnin wild and free
My blood was racing, pumping through my veins
In the snow, under the light, in the street
I can t figure out what I was thinkin
Must be some kind of fool I know
Cause I left you, standing there
In the cold north country snow
Not for Another Woman
copyright 2006
He moves across the room so carefully
He waits for his chance to flee
She has one eye open slightly
She sees every move he makes
Over to the telephone he creeps
He dials one number at a time
He won t Speak a word or make a peep
He just needs to hear the voice on the other side
He doesn t know just how he got here
You see it isn t like he doesn t love her anymore
It s not for another woman that he yearns
No it s not not for another woman
He gets into his car every day
He goes to work and he comes home
She has the house so clean a nice hot meal
He is torn
He loves his life he loves his wife
But there is something wrong inside
Less and less he feels at ease
Only when he makes his phone calls in the night
Only then can he sleep in peace
She sees it in his eyes when they make love she asks him
Where has your heart gone?
He looks at her the tears are in his eyes
He says it s not oh baby it s not
Not for another woman
On Rainy Days (aka the happy boppy song)
copyright 2001
I got in my car to go to work
Turned the key and nothing happened
I left the lights on again and the battery s dead...Oh shit
I guess I m late for work again
Drivin down Rt 80
The cop pulls me over and says
You re going a bit too fast and I ll
Have to give you a ticket ma am...Oh shit
I guess I m later than I thought
On rainy days, I look for the sun to come out
And make a rainbow in the sky
I know if I can catch one things will be OK
I ll find my pot of gold one day
Get to the office sit down at my desk
In comes the boss..."you re late again" he says
"I ve found somebody else to sit at your desk
He ll be on time every day, so pack your things and go away"
On rainy days...
So I ve got some time to myself now I m sittin by the lake
Watchin the sun s rays catch the ripples and wash up on the shore
The clouds get darker and the lake is joined by
Raindrops falling from the sky...so, I ll go home and get dry
Once Removed
copyright 2001
Pen in my hand, will you just write for me
Tell me how to live, to be free not to think
Quite so hard between the lines but to really try to be me
Oh to see through the eyes of he that sees me once removed
To know the thoughts of others, of others than myself
Oh here I go again, oh no no here I go again
Much to concerned about how I look
To those once removed from me
I said I got to got to never never
Look for strength in someone else
I said I got to got to always always
look to the sun through my own eyes
Pen on my paper can you tell me who I am
Is it my own life force flowing through you
Or the Greater Hand through me He sees right through me
Oh to see through the eyes of he that sees me once removed
To know the thoughts of others, of others than myself
Oh here I go again, oh no no here I go again
Much to concerned about how I look
To those once removed from me
I said I got to got to never never
Look for strength in someone else
I said I got to got to always always
look to the sun through my own eyes
Photograph
copyright 2012
Thought I saw you just the other day
I was paintin' the walls in my basement
You told me to do a good job
woke up to find out it was just a dream
You know i'd do just about anything
To see your face lookin' back at me
In anything other than, a photograph
Well i live inside a little box, inside of a bigger box
All my things i keep inside where they belong
On a shelf that hangs from my ceiling
Is the picture i wish would come to life
You know...
I sing songs for anyone who will listen
Sometimes they're just for my own ears
I like to think somewhere you can still hear me
You know just about every song i sing, i sing foy you..
Pieces of You
copyright 2002
Yeah I see you standing there
Known who you are for quite awhile
You come and go as do the years
You always seem to have a smile to share
And you do in your melody
Your sweet music that you share
And you do
Little pieces of you...
And so one summer evening
You came and crossed my path again
You had nowhere to be for awhile
Neither did I and we talked for awhile and I stared
At your face at your smile and I looked in your eyes
For a sign for some more
More little pieces of you...
Time is washing over me now
And I can never even tell
If I am closer of further away
To finding out how to find out just where
You are and what lies behind
Your sweet melody, I m putting together
All the little pieces of you...
Rising Needle
copyright 2001
Seventy-five miles an hour, down the highway
Windows open sun in my hair, I am driving today
Interstate sign, red white and blue, looks so good to me
Passing scenery through the glass, like a picture on TV
Rising needle makes me high if I close my eyes
I am rising to the sky far away from the traffic round here
Going faster looking back, at the darkening horizon
Straight ahead the sun is setting, let the moon shine down on me
Is it wrong to drive away
I just seem to make it worse
They don t need be anyway
Pullin over for a rest, and a cup of coffee
I ll just sit here and catch my breath
Shadow
copyright 2022
Do you ever feel like you can't make a move
Without crashing into another world
Everything is spinning around so fast
Just Like a tiny spark that has been nourished with
Exactly the right amount of oxygen in the wind
Now everything is burning down so fast
Do you have any idea how big you think your shadow is?
But do you have any idea how small your shadow really is?
All the we can do is the best that we can
Even tho it feels sometimes like only damage control
While everything is churning around so fast
Do you have any idea how big you think your shadow is?
But do you have any idea how small your shadow really is?
Snowfall
copyright 2018
I wanna love you, but you won't let me
You just tell me you're no good
But it's too late, since our 1st kiss
You have been inside of me
Why can't you just let go
All of the reason's you say no, no, no...
Now i can't sleep, even one wink
Cause i see you in everything
In a child's eyes, in cloudy skies
In the cool breeze on my neck
Why can't you just let go
All of the reason's you say no, no, no...
I watch the snowfall out my window
And i wonder, what you're thinkin about
Why can't you just let go
All of the reason's you say no, no, no...
Spring Song
copyright 2016
Windows open, curtains billowing
Friday night in early Spring
Lost in a cloud of steam from a cup of tea
Six strings and a cat to keep me company
I can feel the walls closing in again
I need to get my head on straight again
Cause I know it's all in my mind...
Yes i know it's all in my mind
That old landloard raised my rent again
It's day like this i feel like givin in
I'm reaching out with all the love that i have got
Sometimes it's enough and sometimes it's just not...
I can feel the walls closing in again
I need to get my head on straight again
Cause I know it's all in my mind...
Yes i know it's all in my mind
Tomorrow it will be a new day again
God willin the sun will rise again
I'm gonna wake me up and put a smile on
You know i'll always keep on keepin on...
I can feel the walls closing in again
I need to get my head on straight again
Cause I know it's all in my mind...
Yes i know it's all in my mind
Startin Again (Sam's Song)
copyright 2001
Here I am holding my heart in your hand
We didn t want to say good-bye but time just left us aside
Do I just hold onto you
Because it s easier than saying goodbye
And startin again, and loving again
And hurting again and cyrin again
Lord knows I don t wanna cry...I don t wanna cry
So I ll keep going on down my road all alone
I can just smile and say that you re so far away
But our love will never grow cold
I know I m just fooling myself
But I can do what I want cause I want nobody else
To be startin again, and loving again
And hurting again and cyrin again
Lord knows I don t wanna cry...I don t wanna cry
I m alright by myself I ve got my friends and ny family
My dreams and I have my health
And I don y care what they say about the lonely girl
Who s alone every day
They hear me talk to myself and answer my questions
Inside my head it s alright in my head
Cause I m alone in my head and nobody else can get inside
Here I sltill am holding my heart in your hand
No I don t wanna say goodbye but time will leave me aside
No I can t hold onto you
I ve gotta go on my way and learn how to fly again
Startin again, and loving again
And hurting again and cyrin again
Lord knows I don t wanna cry...I don t wanna cry
Stay
copyright 2001
Runnin around one appointment to the next
It s a dizzy circle, then I m back where I started
See a detour sign, out of my straight line
Of fire so I ended up here
I just want to stay, I don t wanna go home
Only for today, then I ll leave you alone
I don t want to pay with no broken bones
Please let me stay
I sure like it here it s nice, just ignoring all advice
All the things inside the guilt trips and the aggrivation
That I deal with every day, all the bills I have to pay
All the repercussions of my every move
I just want to stay...
So tomorrow I ll go back to the things that I know
The grinding wheel that turns and keeps me in my world
Maybe next time I go down that road I don t know
I won t hurry so fast, but right now I got to go

Sitting here feeling like I am stick inside of
Of a Vincent Van Gogh
There s colors swirling around my face
I think I might be fading away
Never even knowing what the other hand is doing
Or where I am going
Who will be there when I arrive
If I m even still alive oh I m still alive
Sunflowers grow into the sun
But where do we go when we are all done
The colors are getting darker now, as the sun goes down
And I keep on running around
I m chasing my own scent you don t know where I went
Well I never even told you I was leaving at all
Sunflowers grow into the sun
But where do we go when we are all done
These Shelves
copyright 2006
I don t know why you came back here
There is nothing left to give you
And it don t matter how much money you have brought
There s simply nothing left to give you
These shelves have been empty for so long now
I thought you knew that
Well you remember when and oh and I remember when
Things were a little bit different around here
I wish you hadn t gone away for quite so long now
But everyone does just what he has to
These shelves...
Well you can t press the rewind button now the way you can
On your television program
I m still here I m still hangin around
Looking at all my empty spaces
Oh what to do oh what should I do now
I have so many empty spaces
These shelves...
Tonight
copyright 2001
Hello I see you standing there and you re stirring something up in me
I don t know how to describe it but I kinda like it
Do I do the same thing to ya baby come and tell mr just what s on your mind
Even if you don t know what it is tell me all about it
Tonight there s something on my mind
And something in my soul
Feels right just seeing you tonight
Let s get a little closer boy
To bad emotions don t come with little instruction booklets
Then I would know just what to do and so would you
So as the situation stands I can only feel the way I feel
I m really hoping you feel it too baby tell me do you
Tonight...
Let s get away from here
Just you and me together
Let s figure this thing out
Or forget it altogether
Tossed Aside

Day in day out I m just doin my thing
I m only looking after myself, it s just how it s always been
not really ready for a changes, not one of such magnitude
one night of careless love, slapped me in my face how rude
Oh careless me and my hasty heart
I tossed you aside like you weren t even there
And now I pray your forgiveness
You know that I have always longed for you
I couldn t have timed it any better no not even if I tried
but there s no time for jokin now my laughter feels so wrong
I m livin the lie of a hypocrite and I m feelin bout two feet tall
Oh careless me...
I never even saw your face but I know that I was all you had
oh love of my heart may the angels carry you
through fields of flowers filled with birds and butterflies
and there, may your soul fly
At home all alone in my head I try to justify
but I know I was wrong it ll bug me till the day I die
I say I had nothin to give to you what can you give when you ain t got nothin
I could have given you my love I suppose that would have been somethin
What Will We Do?
copyright 1993
Day after day the minutes keep on tickin
And the clock won t stop, not for you, not for me
When I look around me I see nothin is as it was
And it will all change again
What will we do when the time runs out
Can we chase it down and catch it?
We might just as well try to paint the sky
And waste the time that is passing us by
I am not who I was and no one really is
But I am who I am now and now s the only time
It is good I want to hold onto it till my strenghth s all gone
And when that s gone what will I have at all
What will we do...
So here we are not who we were, but we re together
Let the world change let me change and you
But don t leave my side, you re my life, without you time
Can waste me to nothing and I won t mind
Windsheild Wiper Song
copyright 2001
Tell me you never pulled into your driveway
On a rainy night, turned the engine off and
Stared at the windshield till you
Can t tell where the wipers were...where they were
Tell me you never turned the rearview down and
Spoke to yourself, preparing for the possibility of
A conversation with that one that you won t see...anyhow ...you won t see
Well you know and I know that we will never really know
What lies ahead of this moment
I said you know ans I know that we will never really know
What lies ahead till we re there...till we re there
Tell me you never wake up the first time your
Alarm clock sounds, you snooze and you loose
Out on the morning hours
Your day is wasted you just sleep...you just sleep
Tell me you never look at your neighbor without
Wishing you could be seeing what they see and
Doing what they do living out your fantasies and dreams...and your dreams
Well you know...
Sometimes I hear the phone ring and
I just let the machine answer
As I listen to the world go round
