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.

2/1/18: 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 [...]

11/24/17: Big City Dog Blues

  I’m a big city dog Tied up all the time Yea, I’m a big city dog Tied up all the time You best enjoy your good life I sure ain’t enjoying mine Every single day I lie here in the sun If I ever get away Man how I would run Yea I’m a [...]

11/19/17: W-W-W-W-W-H

  Who the hell am I To tell you, to tell you What I will do It’s on me, it’s on me There’s a dark cloud on the horizon Headed for the shore With a black shroud over your eyes one might be bedded under the floor Bedded under the floor Where the hell are [...]

11/12/17: Flatland Shuffle

  Way back before this modern age The ascending path was all the rage The only way to sal-va-tion Was to flee the many and find the one But since that was the only thing they ever did They never even saw the descending grid Those descenders found their dignity By embracing this world’s diversity [...]
