bookmark_borderI Will

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Caught in the web of anxiety?
Caught in the ebb of intensity?
Look! You’re standing, still
Say, “I will”

Stuck in a rut… standing still?
Punch to the gut… same ole drill?
Find it in you to come through
Say, “I will”

Finding it tough to pull through?
Not sure the best thing to do?
Beat anxiety with simplicity
Say, “I will!”

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Sitting there
Chill in the air
Bumping headlong into skin
Goose bumps become aware
The twilight
Between the night
Is shrinking
Day is done
Watch the sun
It’s sinking

Before the rays slip away
Shimmer glimmer to I
To say God had her way
Revealing the wonders of why
The twilight
Between the night
Is shrinking
Day is done
Watch the sun
It’s sinking

Chords: D A / C G D
Instrumentation: Vocals, Guitar, Kurzweil Piano

bookmark_borderIt Only Hurts When I Laugh

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
It only hurts when I laugh
The sacrificial calf
On the fire, pouring gas
Better act… and act fast
Is it too soon
For howling at the moon
Open the gate
Why hesitate?

It only hurts when I laugh
People think I may be daft
Pot calls the kettle black
Quite a blow… taken back
Is it too soon
For howling at the moon
Open the gate
Why hesitate?

It only hurts when I laugh
That ain’t all… only half
Bringing on a test of will
Half-empty… can I fill?
Is it too soon
For howling at the moon
Open the gate
Why hesitate?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
A tight wound spring
A touchy thing
A tight wound spring
Apt to snap!
Does to learn the lesson
Depend on me?
A mere suggestion
Might help me to see

Shaken champagne
Ready to pop
No pain, no gain
Better get the mop
Does to learn the lesson
Depend on me?
A mere suggestion
Might help me to see

Lit powder keg
Ready to blow
Square hole, round peg
It’s good to know
Does to learn the lesson
Depend on me?
A mere suggestion
Might help me to see

bookmark_borderThe Last Think You Think Of

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Usually start at the beginning
Walking endlessly about
Figuring they’ll be extra innings
There’ll be plenty of time, no doubt
The End is the last thing you think of
Will it be too late for love?

Fall out of bed into the same routine
Forgot to find out “what does life mean?”
Knowing there’s always tomorrow
Plenty of time to reverse sorrow
The End is the last thing you think of
Will it be too late for love?

Day after day turns into years
Begin realizing your fears
Take a deep breath, let out a sigh
Begin to realize… everyone dies
The End is the last thing you think of
Will it be too late for love?

… will it be too late to love?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Here it comes…
… there it goes
Wanted it oh so bad
Don’t let it leave ya feelin’ sad
Anticipation
Exasperation
Wanted it oh so bad
Not as good as we had

Here it comes…
… there it goes
Started to get to know
Easy come… easy go
Exciting surprise
Let down by-and-by
Starting to get to know
Road that’s high… road that’s low

Here it comes…
… there it goes
Coming to recognize
Me, me, me’s n’ I, I, I’s
Come time to let go
Get the hing to go, go, go
Coming to realize
To live life before it dies

bookmark_borderUnder the Thick

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Try to be nimble
Try to be quick
Try to get out from under the think
Try to be humble
Not such a dick
Try to get out from under the think
Embedded
Midst of think headed
Embedded
In the land of the dreaded
Look to see
Breaking free

Try to be agile
Little less fragile
Try to get out from under the think
Take the best pick
Not in the clique
Try to get out from under the think
Embedded
Midst of think headed
Embedded
In the land of the dreaded
Look to see
Breaking free

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
A smile, a nod
It’s not that odd
What a little love can do
A heart that’s true
Will comfort you
What a little love will do
No matter whatever may ail
No doubt love will (not fail) prevail
The elixir will fix her
The remedy for the malady
The melody to life’s harmony

It’s not that odd
You can be like god
What a little love can do
You’ll heal the sick
Make the dead quick
What a little love will do
No matter whatever may ail
No doubt love will (not fail) prevail
The elixir will fix her
The remedy for the malady
The melody to life’s harmony

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
If you haven’t found what you’re looking for
Keep looking
Go round in the sound
Find out “who I am”
Take it up from down
Tighten up the unwound

If in the jam you haven’t jelled
Keep cooking
Go round in the sound
Find out “who I am”
Take it up from down
Tighten up the unwound

If in the song the groove goes wrong
Keep hooking
Go round in the sound
Find out “who I am”
Take it up from down
Tighten up the unwound

So many days
The ways to spend them
So many days
The ways to send them
Wide awake
In the thick of the give and take
Well aware
The number of days are numbered there

All in love
Life, liberty, pursue happiness, all the above
Wide awake
In the thick of the give and take
Well aware
The number of days are numbered

LYRICS
Summon your love light on
In the flow, connect and glow
It’s the time
It’s the time
Let it shine
Shine, shine, shine

Someone loves your love light
To know the glow through the night
Let it shine
Let it shine
All the time
Time to shine

Summary of a lifetime
Letting the love light shine
Turning on out of starkness
Bringing dawn from the darkness
It’s time
Let it shine
All the time

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Thin skin human
Fragile being
Protected by your atmosphere
What do you have to fear?
Say it again
Agile being
Adaptive to your habitat
What do you think of that?
King of the jungle
Lord of the wilderness
Caught in the tangle
Of selfishness

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
All my ducks in a row
Time to fly South, you know
Round and round the Earth we’ll go
Until to becomes fro
I know it mustn’t be that far
Until we’re back to where we are

Might be too late to migrate
Time to fly North… vacate!
Round and round the Earth we’ll go
Until to becomes fro
I know it mustn’t be that far
Until we’re back to where we are

Do you mind staying for one more
’cause I can’t bare leaving the dance floor
