LYRICS
Who would have thought
Someone like me
In the presence of one
Lovely
At the pearly gate
Lift the world’s weight
Thank God no more wait
Lift the world’s weight
(The foreverness
Of weightless
Wait less
Lessness)
Heavenly

Who would have thought
I’d get to see
The evolution of
Lovely

Who would have thought
I would ever be
The same and one
As lovely

LYRICS
The blues on the suede of the shoes
Eludes the dudes
Miss post-modern blues
True that it may be
’cause maybe it’s true
For sure
The texture
Of the demographics
Will reveal
The inner appeal
Be it thick in sick
Or shine fine
Over shades of grey
To say
Above all
Love
Above all
Love
All

LYRICS
When I think of you
I think of dreams come true
The embodiment
Of the body meant
By the numbers
Mind number
When you twirl your hair
Spring is in the air
Flowers start to bloom
Hearts go boom

When I think of you
I think of dreams come true
The embodiment
Of the body meant
By the numbers
Mind number
I hear the birds sing
Colors get a zing
When I get to know
How everything can glow

Kiss her goo night

LYRICS
Swallowed
Hook, line and sinker
Hallowed
Pose of the thinker
Right from the start
You hooked my heart
Cupid did
Took a chance
With a lance
Shot the arrow
Now love’s sure to follow
Shot that dart
Right through the heart
Now Venus
Is with us
The planets align
Surely a sign
The heavens shine
Cast a light so fine

bookmark_borderBeauty Full

LYRICS
The things that scare me
Janu-hairy
Scary
Frightening me
In the eye of the beholder
It’s not me I want to see
Looking through to you
To be in beauty… full
Full of beautiful
Plain to see
Not half empty
Full!
Beautiful

[Break / Jam]

Though without a soul
It’s only skin deep
From within the whole
Won’t you let it seep
In the eye of the beholder
Hold her
In the eye, I hold her
Or maybe, it’s she…
… holding me?

LYRICS
Can anyone tell me
What this is?
Entertainment
… some sort-of show biz?
Can anybody tell me
Is this the show?
Can somebody tell me
I want to know
Somehow
I thought there’d be more
Than Sodom and Gomorrah
Alt-right and spite
Blood and gore
If I might…
If it’s alright
… I thought I might
Write
… a better ending:
Love and the message sending
If complete, something sweet
You join in, too?
The End

LYRICS
Whenever I see the raindrops
Hit the sidewalk
I think of you
Whenever I see the sunshine
Ripen the vine
I think of you
It seems no matter what I do
I think of you

When Spring is in the air
I feel you there
My heart feeling the call
Reminiscing in fall
From the crack of dawn
Until dusk’s last yawn
You’re in my head
As I lay in bed
It seems no matter what I do
I think of you

LYRICS
In the dark of night
Your light shines bright
Yes, you are
The brightest star
Dear,
Your light travels through the years
Overpowering any fears
Of the dark
The brilliance of your spark
Lust for the luster of your sparkle
Ahhhhh the original miracle
In the eye
Of the heavenly sky
A wrinkle in time the way you twinkle
The whitest light
In the twilight
Truth told
You never get old
Truth told
Ahhh behold
