Running home,
Pour down some gasoline,
Start to sing,
"We'll burn this mother down"
In your mind, Momma's Lullabies.
You start to cry
Cause all your love has drown.
They say that blood is thicker than water
Who'll wash your hands off now?
And in the eyes of your brother
You see a thorny crown.
Of "she's gone"
Wade on in,
Feel the water,
They say it's fine.
Woa woa woa
But no diving
In the deep end
You'll crack your head.
And you'll be dead.
They say that blood is thicker than water.
Who'll wash your hands off now?
And in the eyes of your lover
You see a thorny crown
Of "she's gone"
(chrorus)
It's been a long time com'n
But it's time to say goodbye.
You should know I love you still
But I just can't keep on try'n.
So long to days of love
And love of auld lang syne.
you should know I love you still
I just can't keep on cry'n.
Cut me deep
Cut me long
Make me sing this song.
I'm bleedin' out.
For the love
Of all that's good in the world
And that's not much…
Just please stop.
They say that blood is thicker than water.
How'm I gonna wash my hands off now?
And in the eyes of another
Will I see another thorny crown
Of "she's gone"?
*chorus*
*bad high pitched chorus I can't sing well*
"In the Sky"
Dreams
They raised her up.
In the sky,
It's where I'll be.
Hide your face
From me.
In the sky
Is where I'll be.
And you'll be there,
Singing with me,
Playing that harp
With only seven strings.
Singing Oh-woa-woa-woa
Woa-woa-woa
Oh-woa-woa-woa
Woa-woa-woa
Now you know,
It's gonna be a long
Way home
Save me sunshine,
Save me rain
Save me from this girl
That's caused me pain
Oh but bless her…
It's gonna be a long
Way home.
Fears,
They shot me up.
In the sky,
It's where I'll be.
Hide my face,
So she can't see.
I all want
Is for us to be…
I need you there,
Believe in me,
Play me hope
In a melody
Sing oh-woa…….etc.
Stay with me,
It's gonna be a long way home.
Save me sunshine
Save me rain
Save me through this girl
Who has caused me pain
Oh and bless her…
It's gonna be a long
Way home.
"The Lonely Man At the Diner"
 |
| "Nighthawks", Edward Hopper |
He always seems to sit all alone.
His mind is always on, something else.
Some problem to solve, or to be put a shelf.
The waitresses all know him as their friend.
Someone who is kind but, yet in the end.
He is always something, to someone else.
But inside he feels nothing, to himself.
His loneliness is deep and never understood.
By others around him, nor himself, even though he should.
You see he lives it every day, from morning until dawn.
Then again in his dreams all night long.
The waitresses all know him as their friend.
Someone who is kind, but yet in the end.
He is always something, to someone else.
But inside he feels nothing, to himself.
He wonders what went wrong, so many years ago.
When life had more meaning with a clear and certain goal.
Of which he can’t remember, or did it really exist?
Or was it one of life’s illusions, that he just could not resist.
The waitresses all know him as their friend.
Someone who is kind but, yet in the end.
He is always something, to someone else.
But inside he feels nothing, to himself.
So he sits alone in the Diner and stares off into space.
Contemplates his next move, in life’s elusive race.
"This Man I Knew"
I once knew a fellow
Who was too weak
to even bellow
His own name.
But where he went
He went with purpose
He was sent
To garnish his own gains.
Life’s a dream
An endless nightmare
So he thought,
This helpless man I knew.
Sings along
With all the chorus
Words he sings,
He never thought,
He knew.
1 2 3 4…
woh woh woh woh woh
Oh spring
is coming round
Though winter
could not be found.
And love
and dreams of crazy things.
The cries
Of crazy beings.
The joy
We all loved and knew.
Will help me,
Get to you.
3rd time:
Oh spring
is coming round
Though winter
could not be found.
And love
and dreams of crazy things.
The cries
The lies
The joy
Of crazy beings.

My newest song is titled "She Can Live Without / There There". It has a few hiccups, but I wanted to get it posted cause I was excited about it.
(Acoustic)
(this is the multi-instrumental recording)
Dawn Breaks over me
And you refuse to
see.
Woa ya…
Hey hey, there
there…
Sunlight on my
shoulders
Your lips on my
cheek
Woa ya,
Hey hey, there
there.
Woa ya,
Hey hey, there there
You come into my room
Say you're leavin
soon
Woa ya
Hey hey, there there
Say its best not to
kiss goodbye
Cause you'll just
break down and cry
Woa ya, there there,
Hey hey, farewell
*Chorus*
But who will comfort
me??
I need you here to
breath
This light can't
keep on burning
If I don't have you
here by my side
My life won't just
keep on rolling
If you won't have me
by your side.
Babe you're all I
see
When you dance with
me
Woa ya,
Hey hey, there there
The scent of your
hair,
Pressed against my
cheek
Woa ya,
It intoxicates me.
Woa ya,
Its killing me.
You tell me you
don't love me,
But you won't look
at me.
Woa ya,
Hey hey, there there
When the one you
can't live without,
Can live without
you.
Woa woa,
Hey hey farewell.
*Chorus*
Woa woa ya,
Hey hey, farewell.
Woa woa ya,
Hey hey, farewell.
Woa woa ya,
Hey hey, farewell.
This is my cover of Elton John's "Rocket Man". It isn't perfect but if you could see how many failed attempts are currently on my iPad you would understand why I just went with this one. Hope you enjoy it!
My newest (as of Nov. 17, 2011) song is entitled "Gold and Blue". I hope you like it. I did not feel inclined to record a flawless copy of it, so you get the lazy version. It is also pretty much the same slide show as "Wild Horses", so don't expect much new visually.
Gold and Blue
You've gotta grow up
some day,
My son, he says to
me.
Cause the world
moves onward,
Without you and me
boy.
Well I was walkin in
the sun,
When I got lost one
day.
Though I knew my way
home, ya,
I kept bein lost
anyway.
And they scream,
Oh now son, why
don't you come home, ya?
Why you gotta stay
out there alone?
But I've got no
reaction for them,
It seems I've been
killed in action.
And while I'd love
to give you all the answers
You never knew.
It can't change the
fact that
That you are gold
And I am blue.
Oh you gold
And you never knew.
We were friends
walkin in the sun,
When we got lost one
day.
You said you knew
the way home, ya,
But wouldn't let you
say.
They say we've all
got a light aburnin
Well I put mine out
today.
But don't you cry
dear
Cause your tears
will freeze that way.
And you'll say
Oh now Dear, why
don't you come home, ya?
Why you gotta stay
out there alone?
But I've got no
reaction for you,
It seems I've been
killed in action.
And while I'd love
to give you all the answers
You never knew.
It can't change the
fact that
That you are gold
And I am blue.
Oh you gold
And you never knew.
You've gotta open to
me someday,
My love, she says to
me,
Cause you ain't
getting any younger,
And I can't help
what I can't see.
Two lovers walkin in
the sun,
A child was lost
that day.
Though I feared what
I called home,
It took your love to
make me stay.
And you said,
Oh now Fool, why
didn't you come home, ya?
You didn't have to
stay out there alone.
But before I'd given
my reaction,
Her love came
crashing into action.
And while I'd love
to find out all the answers
I never knew.
It'll never change
the fact that
That you are gold,
And I am too,
Oh you are gold,
And I never knew.
(This video was actually recorded before the song was finished, so you'll notice the lyrics just trail off toward the end and definitely are not the correct lyrics)
Jack and Jill went up a hill
To fetch a pale of water.
They did this every week
And it was always the same
Another day Jack'd wait for
later.
Jill'd be in front
Jack behind;
He'd watch the sun in
Her hair shine.
He'd hope to himself that
Maybe maybe someday…
(Chorus:)
Well Jack fell hard
And broke his heart
For the girl above him
He wished she'd love him.
And Jill just stood there
Watchin' without a clue.
Jack said maybe someday
I'll ask her.
But then rejection
Could come faster,
So Jack just got some water
And didn’t try.
(End Chorus)
Jack and Jill
Walked down that hill
And took that pale of water.
They said goodbye
see you next week
As Jack's heart broke
into another piece.
Does she ever think of me
He thought
Could she ever care?
Well what's the point,
It wouldn't work anyway.
Best just not to care.
CHORUS
Jack got some
courage one day
Said he's gonna ask her
Either way.
He couldn't wait another day
For later.
Jill was up front but
Jack caught up. He said
Hey there, you mind it
If we talk?
She said,
Sorry I've got a date.
CHORUS
I can hear raindrops
fallin' on the rooftop
I can feel a teardrop
I just can't make it stop no….
I still hear your footseps
walkin' down the hallway
Tried my best to forget
So now I'll try the hard way.
So each day I get outa bed and I
wait by the phone
Pray for your call
As I sit all alone
Did you ever really know
Did you ever really care?
Why I worshiped your footsteps
and the scent of your hair.
And now it's rainin' rainin' rainin'
down on me
and all around us the skies fallin' down
and the sun can't be seen.
Yeah, cuz it's rainin' rainin' rainin'
down on me
and all around me are dreams crashin' down
and my smile can't be seen.
I see the sky get darker
but just over my head
while everyone is smilin'
what's left of me is dead
So look now what you've done here
You've torn my soul in two
And the rain is getting harder
as hope fades out of view
So I each day I wake up and I
wait by phone
Pray that you'll call
cuz' I'm just so alone
All this time that I've wasted
thinking of you
Thoughts that captured my dreams
and my reality too
And now it's rainin' rainin' rainin'
down on me
and all around us the skies fallin' down
and the sun can't be seen.
Yeah, cuz it's rainin' rainin' rainin'
down on me
and all around me are dreams crashin' down
and your smile can't be seen.
Trepidation
Insecurity
What I see in me
When I look in the mirror
Burned relations
All the faux faces
That all belong to me.
yeah,
So the time has come
To let you know
What I can't hide anymore
And the Good Lord has told me
There's a way.
'Cuz He put you
In my path one day
And norm'lly I'da walked away
But something in my heart said to me:
Stay
Stay
Don't walk away.
Say
Just say
What you've been dyin' to say.
Empty inside,
I can't find a friend,
Who sees the inside;
What I keep within.
Loneliness is
Eating me away.
Eating me away.
Yeah,
So the time has come
To let you know
What I can't hide anymore
And the Good Lord has told me
There's a way.
'Cuz He put you
In my path one day
And norm'lly I'da walked away
But something in my heart said to me:
Oh the time has come
And I now know
That I can't hide anymore
And thanks to you I know that
There's a way.
And it ain't so much
'bout you my dear,
But me and all my stupid fears.
But today's the day I stand and
Walk away.
And it ain't so much
'bout you my dear,
But me and all my stupid fears.
But today's the day I stand and
Walk away.
But today's the day I stand and
Walk away
Yeah, today's the day I stand
And then be brave...
(THIS SONG IS VERY VERY VERY QUIET!!! APOLOGIES!!!)
Wonders
My heart is cold and still,
but inside is a fire.
I should let you in,
but it would burn you up.
I smile often but I
always lament the fact
that I cannot know love.
But perhaps its just a fear...
When building the greatest wonders
many died and became one with
their work...
When building the wall around my heart
I died and became
the mortar.
Taking out each brick
would expose the wound
I have kept long hidden.
Its not yet healed I think.
And the gold I touch turns
to lead.
And the diamond I admire
turns to dust in my hand.
Or perhaps my eyes
are just too high...
Or perhaps my eyes
are just too high...
When building the greatest wonders
many died and became one with
their work...
When building the wall around my heart
I died and became
the mortar.
Or perhaps my eyes
are just too high...
Or perhaps my eyes
are just too high...
Goodnight Sweet Blue
Hello sweet blue,
how do you do?
how have you been?
Just came to say,
if I had my way,
I'd be there beside you.
It's a cold winter day,
but spring's on her way,
to melt winter's sorrow.
She'll bring back the life,
to where it once was,
to where it now ain't.
So goodnight sweet blue,
here singing to you,
I hope you can hear me.
Under six feet of ground,
prolly can't hear a sound.
I wish I could see you.
You were always so strong,
and I, always wrong.
You were always the one,
but now I'm alone.
This is my version of "Wild Horses"
One of the songs I've written.
The River
When the leaves turn brown
We all fall down.
They land all around.
We roll on the ground.
As the sun shines down,
We begin not to frown.
No clouds overhead,
But sooner or later we're all gonna bleed red!
Well you wanted to see me,
Well darlin' here you go.
Oh, do you like what you see??
'Cause this is all that's left of me.
It's in a river that you stand
As a rock rolls by your hand.
And all you see ahead,
is where all that's passed has fled.
So you wonder where you'll go?
the future no one knows.
Oh I'm telling you my friend,
You gotta look where the river began.
So you say that you love me??
Well I say that thought's gotta go.
To find what we couldn't be now
Well I say that thought's gotta go.
To find what we couldn't be now
Float off to where the river flows.
Well you wanted to see me,
Well darlin' here you are.
Oh, do you like what you see??
'Cause this is all that's left of me.
Well you wanted to see me,
Well darlin' here you are.
Oh, do you like what you see??
'Cause this is all that's left of me.
And we stayed up all night so many times
just talking, 'bout our pathetic lives.
And the river, just keeps pushin on;
My memories, they're all floatin down.
And everyone drowns.
And you really want to love me??
Well, baby, it's too late.
How could love ever be,
When there's so much fear of hate?
And you wanted to see me?
Well, darlin', here you are.
I'm barin' you my heart.
I don't think we'll get too far.
just talking, 'bout our pathetic lives.
And the river, just keeps pushin on;
My memories, they're all floatin down.
And everyone drowns.
And you really want to love me??
Well, baby, it's too late.
How could love ever be,
When there's so much fear of hate?
And you wanted to see me?
Well, darlin', here you are.
I'm barin' you my heart.
I don't think we'll get too far.
Sorry for the quality, and the fact hat my voice isn't the best either. ^_^ Oh, and also forgive the semi long intro and the pauses mid-song to scroll down the page. Other than that: ENJOY! (hopefully...if not, shut up....jk ^_^)
This song is my cover of Joseph Arthur's "In the Sun"
I pictured you in the sun wondering what went wrong
And falling down on your knees asking for sympathy
And being caught in between all you wish for and all you seen
And trying to find anything you can feel that you can believe in
May God's love be with you
Always....
May God's love be with you
I know i would apologize if i could see your eyes
'Cause when you showed me myself, you know, i became someone else
But i was caught in between all you wish for and all you need
I pictured you fast asleep
A nightmare comes
You can't keep awake
May God's love be with you
Always...
May God's love be with you
Always...
May God's love be with you
Always...
May God's love be with you
'Cause if i find
If i find my own way
How much will i find
If i find
If i find my own way
How much will i find
If i find
If i find my own way
How much will i find
You...
You...
I'll find you
You...
I don't know anymore
What it's for
I'm not even sure
If there is anyone who is in the sun
Will you help me to understand
'Cause i been caught in between all I wish for and all I need
Maybe you're not even sure what it's for
Any more than me
May God's love be with you
Always...
May God's love be with you
Always...
May God's love be with you
Always...
May God's love be with you
'Cause if i find
If i find my own way
How much will i find
If i find
If i find my own way
How much will i find
If i find
If i find my own way
How much will i find
If i find
If i find my own way
How much will i find
You...
You...
I'll find you
You...
I'll find you
You...
I'll find you
You...
