Song Lyrics

Although this blog is primarily for sharing stories, I will always be writing songs. Some of these in here are fairly new (and I’ll also post any brand-new songs as I write them) but most are old songs never before produced or recorded… yet.

2/11/18: Song for Jackie

  I see the blue skies above me, and the sun it does shine. As the green grass below caress these happy feet of mine And the breath of life within me fills my heart and blows my mind Like a song Like a song I hear the birds sing the melody as the ocean plays [...]

2/5/18: Another Day

  Another day another time Another way you know da kine I have a name I have a sou But in my heart is a gaping hole Another weak and tortured mind And day by day I tow the line, I tow the line A half a brain is all I need A half a [...]

2/4/18: Homesick

  Wouldn’t I know after all that I’d been through And wouldn’t it show if there was something I could do I think that I must be blind or maybe just a fool To think I could go so far from you Living my life as if the world weren’t a part of me And [...]

2/1/18: Bury Me

  Bury me on the hill Where I can see See the people moving still But they can’t see me Carry me on your shoulders Hold on to my heart Part the sea with your wisdom Brother wherefore thou art? I had a dream last night You were standing right next to me You jumped [...]

1/31/18: Without Shame

  As a child I would cry without shame Then as a man I’d build walls to stop the rain When my daddy died I threw my pain against the wind I couldn’t cry Couldn’t look within In my time Love Left me alone Look at my shadows Craving to atone Knowing now I only [...]

1/27/18: At Fifty

  Oh the people I remember In the stories that I tell Some be angels from my wildest dreams Others psycho freaks from hell I’ll avoid the histrionics I wouldn’t want to waste your time But each moment tends to foment More than my heart can keep inside Though I wasn’t born yesterday And my [...]

1/23/18: Living With the Pain

  I’ve tried everything I could think to do Accessed every resource, even made up a few But all my efforts seem to have been in vain So I’m living with the pain The last time I sought relief I had some success Made me just a little over-confident I guess Still I wouldn't want to [...]

12/5/17: You Taught Me

  I was born big and strong Eyes wide open, full of song Quick to laugh, quick to cry Wasn’t dumb but not too clever If that means I seemed to never Look too hard and question why But every night in dreams I’d fly   And at the time I thought you were my [...]

11/29/17: Too Old to Die Young

Here you are look at all you’ve done You never had but one true Love has left you all alone Now you spread it all around The world you thought had all but gone No one to blame it on Feeling that you're meant to be The one you know will break your heart The [...]

11/25/17: You Said

  You said I could depend on you and You said what you say you’ll do, it’s all true And I gave some of my life, blood, time and energy… it’s not free I think something is wrong with me when I think there’s a way things ought to be and You say it’s the [...]
