I tried to find my way,
I feel that I could stay,
I tried to let it drop,
I’m spinning like a top.
I should just ask outright,
If she could see the light,
I dream with all my might,
Then we could share a night.
I understand it’s not in my hands, but I should fight still,
Yes I believe, I really believe that there is life still,
No I can’t grieve, I’m not so naive to think the light’s gone,
I’m not afraid, I beg you to think of when the light’s on.
She saw it much the same,
But waited all the same,
I never thought it wrong,
I knew it all along.
And then she told me,
What to do to be free,
How to live just to be,
Hold my hand and the next thing you see will be heaven.

We'll Dance Again

I thought this home
But it chokes my breathe
And it tastes so cruel
I spit
These days I can’t seem to sleep at night
One thing or another there’s something not right
As the terror grows daily and you’re feeling your worst
Lay your head on my shoulder
Put your heart in my hands
Dry those sweet tears
Chase away those great fears
We’ll dance again I promise you
And it no longer hurts
Now the needle is numb
And when you lay back
You’re kicking

Storytelling

Come inside, the cloaked man smiled,
Say a little and stay a while,
Turn a best friend to a foe,
That’s the way the story goes.
The beginning was good and fine,
Then he read between the lines,
He should have waited for the page to turn,
But he couldn’t so his hopes were burned.
Twisted dreams and ruptured minds,
If we dig I wonder what we’ll find,
Hate to say I told you so,
But that’s the way the story goes.
If you covet her as a lover,
You’re as bad as judging books by their cover,
This library is full of gold,
But pick a wrong one and you’ll lose your soul.
On the bookcase, high on a shelf,
Is a tome about yourself,
It will tell you what you know,
That’s the way the story goes.
Tell me stories.
The cloaked man’s eyes turned to fire,
As the bad guy did require,
And the good man swung on a pole,
That’s the way the story goes.
If you see it for what it is,
Tear the page out, he’ll get his,
Write it down and let it mend,
But don’t tell anybody how it ends.
That’s the way the story goes.

How's Yer Luck?

Never felt as good as this, I’m sure,
The morning after the night before,
As I drove off dreaming of our night,
I crashed the car while looking at a rainbow.
The wedding day was a glorious thing,
Shining sun and two shining rings,
As we got down to our honeymoon,
I choked on rose petals sprinkled on our pillow.
Hired a boat and went upon the lake,
Warm evening and feeling great,
As I went to hold your velvet hand,
I sunk the boat while looking at a moonbeam.
