When the Wind Blew

When the wind blew.
Beat up is this heart of mine.
Weathered and hardened by the passing time.
The fire is just a flickering flame,
With this life, not much remains.
I’ve watched the trees grow big and strong.
They’ll be gone before too long.
Laid their roots to start a new,
I can hear them sing,
When the wind blew.
If I die before wake,
Let the ground take what it can take.
If I die before wake,
Let the ground take what it can take.

Smile

Smile.
The light in your window tells me you’re home
But something tells me you’re not alone
Maybe I should have tried better keeping you by my side
Do you want to walk with me?
I could use some company
I won’t talk about times gone bye
Do you want to take a ride?
Go and see the countryside
Get away from this crazy life
I just want to see you ….. Smile
Yesterday was just the day before
Here I am, again at your door
Hoping that I can make you see
We know it’s not the same
But I know I was to blame
Come on try it all again with me
Do you want to walk with me?
I could use the company
I won’t say a word at all
Do you want to take a ride?
I’ll go, as long as you’re by my side
We can drive all through the night
I just want to see you ….. Smile
Do you want to walk with me?
I could use the company
I won’t say a word at all
Do you want to take a ride?
I’ll go, as long as you’re by my side
We can drive all through the night
I just want to see you ….. Smile

Go On

Go On
Too much weight seems to be weighing you down
There‘ve been too many times picking yourself up from off the ground
Just when you think you’re up, you see the back of the line
When you open up your eyes, you see you’re running out, out of time.
If you want to scream out loud – Go on
If you want to break me down – Go on
If you want to leave right now – Go on
Go on
There’ve been a million times that I walked in your shoes
There have been many days where you can’t tell the grays from the blues
If you keep your head up and try not to drown
You’ll see that those better days will come around.
If you want to scream out loud – Go on
If you want to break me down – Go on
If you want to leave right now – Go on
Go on
It’s not as simple as you thought it could be.
When you break it down, it’s always been you and me.
No matter what is said, it’s what you believe
I’ll always tell you the truth and not the things that you need.
That you need.
If you want to scream out loud – Go on
If you want to break me down – Go on
If you want to leave right now – Go on
Go on

Take it on the Chin

Take it on the chin
I thought it was the right time.
But I guess I was wrong.
I thought we had a moment.
But now that moment is gone.
And we dance
Mmmmmm
And we dance
But the steps are all wrong.
Here I go, falling in all over again.
Don’t give a thought, just another fool rushing in.
Here I go, messing things up again
The room spins around, as I take on the chin.
We have our stories.
But did it have come this?
Beginnings are so beautiful.
Especially with that first kiss.
And we sing,
Ahhhaaaah
And we sing,
But it’s just not our song.
Here I go, falling in all over again.
Don’t give a thought, just another fool rushing in.
Here I go, messing things up again
The room spins around, as I take on the chin.
Here I go, falling in all over again.
Don’t give a thought, just another fool rushing in.
Here I go, messing things up again
The room spins around, as I take on the chin.
Here I go, falling in all over again.
Don’t give a thought, just another fool rushing in.
Here I go, fucking things up again
The room spins around, as I take on the chin.

Ballad of a Friend
Did ever occur to you in the back of your mind?
If you don’t get out of this town, you’ll be left behind.
It’s like quicksand you don’t know where it ends.
The more you struggle, the more it pulls you in.
Your friends, they roam like ghosts throughout this place.
Even though they’re familiar, you can’t recognize the face.
Oh, I don’t know where to begin
This is the ballad of friend
Who sought hard to find a place
And though you’re gone, I still …
So you try to get through one day to the next.
Each one grows harder, god, just won’t let you rest.
The drinks pour and people laugh, it all seems so in vain.
Deep inside of you, you can’t erase the pain.
Your friends, they couldn’t see it, there was no trace.
Even though you’re gone, some days I can still see your face.
Oh, I don’t know where to begin
This is the ballad of friend
Who sought hard to find a place
And though you’re gone, I still…
I miss your laugh, man I miss your smile.
You could take a nothing day and make it all worthwhile.
You had your dreams, you could’ve made them all true
But one night you spread your wings and flew
Oh, this is where it ends
This was a ballad of friend
Who sought hard to find a place
And though you’re gone, I still…
Did ever occur to you in the back of your mind?
If you don’t get out of this town, you’ll be left behind.

One Thing

One Thing.
Oooooo
There ain’t no shame in what you want to be.
Don’t let them fool you into disbelief.
Cause Man,
They never knew how, how to get to where they were going
So raise your sails up high into the wind that’s blowing.
Don’t waste your time with fools that’ll stop you from growing.
I’ve never been one to follow lead
Set in my own ways that others couldn’t see
Well you’re just like me,
You’ll never take shit from no one.
But don’t close your eyes to what the world is showing.
You just might miss that one thing, that one thing.
There’s that one thing, that’ll put you to the test
That one thing, that beats inside your chest
That one thing, that’ll tell you right from wrong
That one thing, that sings to you like a song.
That one thing, that weathers you from the storm
That one thing, that keeps you safe from harm
That one thing, the only one you think of
That one thing, that tells you this is love.
Oooooo
There’s a whole world for you to see.
Don’t ever think that you can never leave.
Take a look around
Then look ahead to where you’re going
Raise you sails up high into the winds that’s blowing
You don’t want to miss that one thing, that one thing.

The Quiet

The Quiet
Quietly he sits ands stares at the door.
Anticipating. But there is never anything more.
All around him life has moved on.
If he moves, then, that means they’re gone.
Some people change, some people run away
Some people hide, some people stay
Quietly he sits and counts the days
Practices all the things that he’s going to say.
He’d tell them that he was sorry, he’d say he was wrong.
But if he moves, then that means they’re gone.
Some people change, some remain the same
Some people try, some people take the blame
Some people change, some people run away
Some people hide, some people stay
He won’t recognize, tells himself the same lies
That they’ll be coming home, coming home
In the quiet he waits, stares at the light around doorframe
At any time, they’ll be coming home, coming home
Some people change, some remain the same
Some people try, some people take the blame
Some people change, some people run away
Some people hide, some people stay
As I sit and stare into his eyes, I can see
The old man in the chair, is me.

If Walls Could Talk

If Walls Could Talk
A broken home and shattered dreams
There’s nothing left here to see
She – her memory remains
She - will never be the same
You never realize till it’s too late
Her smile covered up the pain.
He said the words as her heartbreaks
They took the gamble, they knew the stakes
He – tried to take all the blame
He – knew it would never be the same
Some words – you can’t take back
If walls could talk, they’d tell you more than that
Some words – you can’t take back
If walls could talk, they’d tell you more than that
This ain’t no love letter
This ain’t no good time song
It’s just a story of
when all the right things - go wrong
No one was better
No one was wrong
Two people can share something – but it doesn’t mean they belong
This ain’t no love letter
This ain’t no good time song
It’s just a story of
when all the right things - go wrong
No one was better
No one was wrong
Two people can share something – but it doesn’t mean they belong
Some things you can’t take back
If walls could talk they’d tell you
They’d tell you, more than that
No one is to blame

Heaven's Light

Heaven’s Light
Cast away my stare, Air is so cold.
In years so young, But the bones feel so old.
Why can’t I see, Why don’t I know.
That what I need to find, Can’t be bought or sold.
Reaching up to high, falling way too low.
Given in to fear, Never letting go.
Sunshine, crawls through my window.
Breaking through the clouds in my eyes.
Sunshine, crawls through my window.
Making me see heaven’s light.
What can I say, What do I know.
Everything I want, Places a burden on my soul.
Believe in hope, When hope is all lost.
Spent the days in ruin, No matter what the cost.
Sunshine, crawls through my window.
Breaking through the clouds in my eyes.
Sunshine, crawls through my window.
Making me see heaven’s light.
Heaven’s Light, heaven’s light, light
(quietly) Ah, ah, ah…
Sunshine, crawls through my window.
Breaking through the clouds in my eyes.
Sunshine, crawls through my window.
Making me see heaven’s light.
Sunshine, crawls through my window.
Breaking through the clouds in my eyes.
Sunshine, crawls through my window.
Making me see heaven’s light.
Heaven’s Light, making me see heaven’s light, yeah
Believe in hope, when hope is all lost
Spent the days in ruin, no matter what the cost

See You Again
I will see you again, so don’t cry – now we say goodbye
I will see you again, so don’t cry - now we say goodbye
I will see you again, so don’t cry – now we say goodbye
We will meet again so don’t cry – so don’t cry
Ain’t no cause for all this grievin’, grievin’
Change has always come with the seasons, the seasons
An in your heart I’ll always be there, I’ll be there
Dry your eyes girl, don’t be scared, don’t be scared
I will see you again, so don’t cry – now we say goodbye
I will see you again, so don’t cry - now we say goodbye
I will see you again, so don’t cry – now we say goodbye
We will meet again so don’t cry – so don’t cry
I can’t stay, I’ve got to go, I’ve got to be on my way
On my way, on my way
I’ll always be, always be, in you’re heart.
Ain’t no cause for all this grievin’, grievin’
Change has always come with the seasons, the seasons
An in your heart I’ll always be there, I’ll be there
Dry your eyes girl, don’t be scared, don’t be scared
I will see you again, so don’t cry – now we say goodbye
I will see you again, so don’t cry - now we say goodbye
I will see you again, so don’t cry – now we say goodbye
I will see you again, so don’t cry – now we say….
