TearsVerse One:

I know I've been to hard on you
please understand that I never meant to,
It was crazy the things we said
I just can't get you out of my head,
It would be good just to see you tonight
my feelings, they are useless to fight...

Chorus:

With my tears that are falling tonight
Crying tears because I'm seeing the light
They can wash away all of our fears
You're the only one I see in my tears...

Verse Two:

Don't turn away because of me
it's the happy things I want you to see,
I want your love no matter the cost
without you with me I would be lost,
My heart will break without your love,
You're everything that I'm dreaming

Then i met you

The road that I'd been walking on
I'd traveled on for far too long
I thought that i, was far too gone
then i met you

I just dragged on from day to day
not knowing if there was another way
all i wanted was to escape
then i met you...

I was filling the holes in my heart
with tangible things
i was giving up
on all my dreams
i was leaving myself behind
then i met you...

(chorus)
When i met you,
my world re-arranged
my whole life seemed to change
and my life will never be the same.

Bound to fail in this world
i was just an empty man
conquered and divided
living without a plan
then i met you...

Fight or FlightI'm telling you I understand
But I don't
They're my friends too
I won't bother you
I really won't

Why you feel the need
To uninvite me
When I have just as much
A right to be there as you
I don't know what to do

I won't scream
I won't shout
Cause that's not a way out
I won't cry
I won't shed a tear
Cause that's not gonna help me here
And I want to try to talk to you
Cause I just can't make it through the day
I need this to be another way

You say that we're friends
And that you love me still somehow
But why does it mean so much to you
Leaving me out

And I'd like to ask you someday
To tell you to your face
That this was

Taking back my lifeI woke up today
Things are starting to be ok
The pain is fleeing away
After I got out the things I needed to say

Walking along the path
Away from the internal wrath
Looking forward to the suns bath
Finding a way to laugh

Remembering why I'm here
Walking past my fear
Returning to those so dear
Who've been wanting me near

Turning away from pain
Smiling into the sweet rain
Quit looking for something to blame
Finding my way again

Smiling because life can be so sweet
Realizing it as I get on my feet
No longer dwelling on this internal beat
Letting myself feel loves heat

Holding my loved ones close to me
Realizing that they're

The rabbit has comeThe little white rabbit has come
It's time for tea
I wonder where the hatter went?
Was that meant for me?
Perhaps that was just a hint

Alice went through the glass
And I fell on my bum
I can't find that last pass
I guess I'm really done

The Cheshire stole the scepter
And I was on the run..
I bet he put it in the rector
All in good fun

Tweedle dee and Tweedle dum
Are always in the way
Went and drank all the rum
Still twas a rather interesting day

If I find the Cheshire can I go back home?
Perhaps I'd rather wonder
And continue where I roam
I wonder who stole the thunder
I hoped that I could go
And finally ignore the whole

"Winds of Change" 6-28-09Gone are the dismal skies,
My ship now sails tranquil seas,
My tempest met its great demise,
Sweet summer air floats in the calm breeze,

As this new captain abducts my mind,
I invite him to stay,
Please leave these lonely days behind,
The storms we've sailed alone are gone away,

This vessel is manned by only you,
The broken ship is now repaired,
I need no other shipmates or crew,
You simply cannot be compared,

You guide my ship to safe harbors,
Your eyes shine brighter than a lighthouse on the bay,
Your arms are my beautiful arbor,
Even dark waters cannot inveigh,

Help me safely through life's quest,
I'm glad my ship you have

Love is a Self Defeated Loser

All our glories have been and gone,
We go looking but have only ourselves to blame.
Where have all our dreams gone?

Tears held in quiet houses
Hear birds stirring and trees breathing,
Cars bridge the gaps between beautiful losers.

You wrote my name in a book
To make believe I wrote a famous book.

I sent you pictures of pretty shoes glued to maps to pretend that,
We’ve been too all the places where postcards are made.

Beautiful losers in armour always lose
Risen up to be beaten back down
Because we’re all losers in the end.
We all love losers because
We all fail one way or another.

Never look backwards
Memory is a p

Looking for Fairies inthe FallLooking for Fairies in the Fall

I sought among the falling leaves
Of yellow, orange and brown -
Peeking in between the trees,
Peering up and glancing down;
I'm looking for those little Things
Of make believe and children's dreams,
Who flit about on gossamer wings
That glitter in the sunshine's beams.

Through our eyes I know we see
The beauty that is meant to be
The love that comes from deep within
We give and share to our sweet kin
We never forget the moments passed
And to our hearts we hold them fast

Nature's GiftFeed my hunger with dandelions, and perriwinkles blue
Of sunny days and fresh mown grass, all wet with morning dew
Birds on high in breezes swift, and clouds like fairies flossed
Leaves of every colour and hues in whirlwinds tossed
Icy streams in snowy fields, as cold as winter's breath
Fires warm and mallows roasted, in Mothers toasty hearth

Storms all brewing and tempests freed, to blacken yet the sky
Kites of many colours reaching , to hide in heavens high
Summer's rain or Winter's storm, as soft or in angers met
In trickles, or pelting with such force, pure beauty in nature set
Against the scene of country bliss. in shades of se

Gone Lonely

Its in that time of the day
that gloaming so peaceful
where obligations slip
like silk from a shoulder
and twilight blows a kiss
softer than a sea breeze
across still warm sands
and stray strands of hair
float and dance
teasing memory
taunting senses
like familiar fingertips
down a spine gone lonely

_Silent Tears_For all who loved and lost
may you find that one
that makes your heart alive
that makes your eyes
see only golden
A love that smooths its hands of softness
like cool silver over your skin
May you find the one that when he leaves
you will cry your silent tears
only to wither and die.

Pearled droplets of salt spray
hung like unasked wishes
tangled in his wind blown hair
framing his face
in moonlight and shadow

The burdens of his past,
fleshy weights pinned
to his empty soul
lay just over his shoulder
on a distant shore

Where his name is cursed
on soft trembling lips
and his memory
is clasped tight
and shook like a fist
against the indifferent stars
that burn so bright
Yet are as cold
as his cads' heart...

you are the ruin of me.

SilenceThis silence is ever mocking me
Giving me nowhere to run and hide
The reasons for this solitude
Are reasons why you lied

Jagged edges of dreams, gone in a foray of cruel words
lost between the pages of torn letters and the stories
of discontent

Fingers trailed bloodied lines through the matted hair
of restless nights and the nightmares of secluded lust,
alone and abused with only the shallow recesses of days
gone by

This silence is ever mocking me
Screaming out my name
But fools are we to have believed
That love was not a game

You saw in me my fraility, shredding my innocence till
my heart la

A SONG FOR THE EARTH ELEMENTALSweet earth we sing to thee,
and pray that all may hear;
without you we would not be,
and so we gather every year.

Bless thee, and hail to thee,
your bounty holds all worth.
We praise thee, and dance for thee,
Dearest Mother Earth...

Rock and tree, with stream and brook,
does stretch the mighty hand;
cliff and crag, with overlook,
a blessing is this land.

Bless thee, and hail to thee,
fill my soul with mirth.
We praise thee, and dance for thee,
Dearest Mother Earth...

Verse One:
Summer wind is blowing through her hair
See her shadow but she's not even there
Take a chance on survival son
You will find that she's already won
Give it up, you can't make it through
Watching for her, but she's looking at you...

Chorus:
O No, they're placing their bets
The way she moves you, it's a raging threat
No way to stop her, her mind is set
Silhouette...

Verse Two:
Candlelight at the break of dawn
She's satisfaction with her red shoes on
Misty morning don't mean a thing
Just the body that seduction brings
Play the numbers it might work out right
She'll leave you blind with her games in the night...

Repeat Chorus:

End...

This is a lyric to a song I wrote way back in the day, when I was in a band. I used to write the lyrics to our songs and one of the guitarists, Eddy, wrote the music that accompanied. Enjoy...
