Around ©

Did your world all disappear
Did it all go up in flames
Did you expect us to be here when you were there
Did you really hope that we would all jump up
and old friends reappear

Did you think we'er all unfair
Did you come out on the highest mountain there
Only a fool would get so high on top the world
Without a net to hide your fears
And keep from falling down and down and down

You could have come with me and stay
Or you could find your own way
But you remember how it was when you were
on your own and tired
Do you remember how it was when
you said it was time to fly

I don't want to dig this deep again
Don't want to fly so high again
I don't want to feel this way again
Don't want to go around, around, around, around

How many times did you tell me I can't compete
How many times did you knock me off my feet
Did it occur to you that I could play the fool all on my own
It reminds me of the fact it seems that you just haven't grown

I don't want to feel this bad again
Don't want to dig this deep again
I just want to find my way again
I don't want to go around, around, around, around

Carry Me Away ©

Road dust on the cattails
Sharp stones dot
The walking trails

Carry me away
To a time
When everything was right
Carry me away
On a moon lit night
Like the one we have tonight
Llike tonight, like tonight

All I know
All I know is you
Please don't stay mad
The whole thing come unglued

Carry me away
To a time
When everything was right
Carry me away
On a moon lit night
Like the one we have tonight
Llike tonight, like tonight

Like an old wood boat
On a dead calm lake
With an off shore flow
The wind would take her
Off she float
Drifting slow
Quietly sliding away she'd go
If you weren't watching
Time would pass
Moon hung low
Lake still as glass
If you tried to call her
She couldn't hear
Smaller and smaller
Your love would disappear
Love would disappear

I see you know
I see you in my dreams
How hard I cry
Cry all night it seems

Carry me away
To a time
When everything was right
Carry me away
On a moon lit night
Like the one we have tonight
Llike tonight, like tonight

Think Twice ©

Do you speak the language of the gods
Can you tell them for me if you would
That lately I've been doing good
I don't need them to intervene
On what might be a different thing
Than what the others think is best for me
For the profits eyes can't really see

So speak not what you don't know my friend
For lightning will strike twice
Or you will be the recipient
Of the guidance of your own advice
The heathen does the devils work
To hell go all he's reachin'
Say the dimming few who gather
At the service he's been preachin'

Think Twice before you take the plunge
And wonder where deep profits run
Why do they want you sole so much
By the thousands they reach out and touch

Nutrients your brain will need
It's only weak when they succeed
In getting first a small toe hold
And then your soul is finally sold
So listen to yourself instead
Even if unsure or wrong
For your mistakes is where you learn
That self aware will make you strong

Think Twice before you take the plunge
And wonder where deep profits run
Why do they want you sole so much
By the thousands they reach out and touch

Goin' Round ©

I'm to old to change
That don't seem right
Where's my spirit
Where's my fight

Keep up the front
One foot on ahead
Lean over slightly
Stay on the move

I'm goin' round
In ever smaller circles
Till finally a dot
I used to dream dreams
But know I am not

I want to tell you
How much I love you
But what comes out
Is not what I mean

I feel like an idiot
Not gonna quit
Just didn't get it
Not in the least bit

I'm goin' round
In ever smaller circles
Till finally a dot
I used to dream dreams
But know I am not

I wish I had money
I wish I had time
I wish I was funny
I wish you were mine
I wish I was happy
I wish I was brave
I wish I knew love
Then I be in love with you

I'm goin' round
In ever smaller circles
Till finally a dot
I used to dream dreams
But know I am not

Which is it Gonna Be ©

Which is it gonna be
This place or you and me
Is there something I didn't see
Is it time for you to leave

I am scared to death
You don't want to untangle this mess

Like when we were young
Naive or just plain dumb
We didn't think of this outcome
We were just having fun

I am scared to death
You don't want to untangle this mess

All of our bridges are still intact
Don't overreact
It's not as though were gonna turn around
And go back
All of our bridges are still intact
Baby don't go back

I've been sorry so many times before
Why should you listen anymore
We can never be the same
I'm still sorry for the pain

I am scared to death
You don't want to untangle this mess

So which is it gonna be
This place or you and me
Is there something I didn't see
Is it time for you to leave

All of our bridges are still intact
Don't overreact
It's not as though were gonna turn around
And go back
All of our bridges are still intact
Baby don't go back

It Must Be Me ©

So you think your world is gonna break
You learn the lessons of your mistakes
And though you realize it all to late
To heal the wounds of your heart ache

When I found out what I put you though
It's like I died and was born anew
It's merely something that I can't explain
I just know I except the blame
It must be me

It's not as though there's really something wrong
It's just into this pot were thrown
I guess I knew it all along
A different pace in which we've grown
It must be me

It must be me
I've never listen to your heartfelt song
On a moon lit night
Never cared much for romantic talk
By candle light
I didn't hear you when you said
That you had had enough
You wouldn't follow me down
It must be me

I remember times
When they felt safe
Now only memories take the place
I know I can't change
And you should always stay the same


It must be me
I've never listen to your heartfelt song
On a moon lit night
Never cared much for romantic talk
By candle light
I didn't hear you when you said
That you had had enough
You wouldn't follow me down
It must be me

Clearer Eyes ©

In this sea of time and dust
Some feeling sorry for the two of us
Others feel the same for me
I mark a new anniversary

I heard your voice on the phone machine
I could swear it 's just a dream
What kind of God would do such a thing
On my own alone

It was always supposed to be
Just the two of us
I assumed that it was
You and I

I don't feel much like being alone
This house is not our happy home
Can't keep it
Won't leave it now
Clearer eyes tomorrow

Looking out from the window
Round early June
Your garden will grow
Flowers will bloom
Face the wind
Raised chin
It's so hard to start again

There can be nothing worse
Bout being here on earth
Who said that you could be first
What could be worse

Here's a watch won't tell you time
Your ring some jewels old gifts of mine
Your hair brush won't brush your hair
The smell of you is everywhere

Every time I turn around
Another hidden treasure found
Can't keep it
Won't leave it now
Clearer eyes tomorrow

Looking out from the window
Round early June
Your garden will grow
Flowers will bloom
Face the wind
Raised chin
It's so hard to start again

Drift Away ©

Here I am fighting falling asleep
Maybe I should just let go
Could be so easy to drift away
Sail to places I'd never know

I Continue to fight with a herky jerk
Find myself right back here on earth
But why should I stay here anyway
It could be so easy to drift away

I'll see you when I get there
Don't wait up for me
Maybe leave the light on
I'll wake you with a quiet kiss
To let you know that I am home safe
Let you know I'm safe

I just can't stay up this late anymore
I'm gray I'm heavy and I'm gettin' old
It's my eyes they want to slam shut closed
And sail to places I'd never know

Open my eyes with the nod of my head
Just in time to see what's coming
That was close it a been a hell of a mess
I guess I'll pull on over and take a rest

I'll see you when I get there
Don't wait up for me
Maybe leave the light on
I'll wake you with a quiet kiss
To let you know that I am home safe
Let you know I'm safe
