PSYCHOANALYSE
In a back room, hidden away
Forgotten memories of yesterday
In a sad tune, all I can say
I’m wording my worries away

Something’s broken inside
Psychoanalyse
Was it something I lied?
Psychoanalyse
My mind

Walking, thinking about
Constantly hoping my thoughts don’t come out
Of my mouth, so, everyone sees
Something’s not fitting and that something’s
Me

JOURNAL
Flicking back another day
Another time, another place
The sequence of events that played along
I’m holding out for a time
A place I’ve long since left behind
A somewhere hidden deep inside

But I know and I’ve found
That someday we could write
In time, the pictures in our mind
I know and I’ve found
The pictures that we write
In our minds
Somewhere left behind

Further back the past times go
The map of times we used to know
Whether ages pass or stay, today
And in a neverland of lost
All our fortunes play a host
Of times that we’ve made

See my life - written on a page
See my life - as something to be made

If we could see into the haze
And flick the pages forward days
Would we see the other ways to live
And if the future came along
Would it sing a different song
Could we see there’s something wrong today?

SONG TO ME
Another dream wasted
Another day goes by
‘cause what use is dreaming if you’re too afraid to try?
The means are there, the tools and all
And it would work if you’d just get up, stand tall

And pick your life up off the ground
When dreaming and lying are getting you down
‘cause nobody’s there when you too scared to ask
And time for you is leaving
The end’s coming fast
Wake up and go

The tunes are there, the words and all
Excuses all gone and no need to feel small
So get off your back
Pull your head out of bed
And do all the things that go on in your head

Go after the girls, sing them the songs
Believe it and you won’t go wrong
‘cause laid there dreaming the day ‘til it’s done
Ain’t getting you nowhere 
And sure ain’t no fun
Wake up and go

***********************************************************

BEAUTIFUL EYES
You’re so very young and soon you’ll go away
Try to understand what I’m gonna say
You may think you’re ready but you’re not used to lies
Listen and you’ll learn how to see through a disguise

Use your beautiful
Your beautiful eyes
You’ll know what’s right

Now I can’t help but worry, before you go away
You need a little wisdom but that’ll come with age
This advice I give you, it’s all i can do
Straight from the heart, the rest is up to you

See the world and travel the seas
See the forest but don’t overlook the trees
And if you look in the mirror
And don’t like what you see
Remember this song and think of me

And use your beautiful
Your beautiful eyes
Trust your beautiful
Your beautiful eyes
You’ll know what’s right
You’ll be alright

‘cause in my mind you’re an angel
My angel with beautiful eyes

***********************************************************

A SONG WE WERE HAPPY IN
There’s a line that breaks the water
Where the ocean meets the sky
The sunlight, waves, a surface flicker
The morning sea shines bright

And I sit in the wind and the sunshine
The chill and the heat on my skin
And I dream of you while I sing
A song that we were happy in
That we were happy in

The midday sun descending
As nightime fades the day
I try to find the words to make you mine
You turn away

I remember nights together
Though now the memories fade
Those times seem so distant now
A dream so far away

So I’m not alone
When everyone thinks that it’s over
I’m not alone

***********************************************************

STARS
In the sky, look up
There’re the stars, the lights of dreams
There’s my lullabye
Lift me up to let me see

The night knows
But nothing else can see me now
Everything could fall apart
And still, there’d be
My stars
My stars

Do you wanna see?
Watch the stars, watch me
To my lullabye
I’ll lift you up to let you see

***********************************************************

WORRY LINES
What do you do with your time?
Spend it making money, breakin your mind
And what have you done to your eyes?
Staring back, back pools of time

As you can see
Don’t hurry
You’ll grow worry lines

How to fight back the day?
Maybe in time you’ll discover a way
Or maybe one day you’ll see
So much more than you thought days could be

Don’t disagree
Or hurry
You’ll grow worry lines

Lets make cutbacks again
It’s only business, not buying friends
And it doesn’t matter, end of the day
The ones who’s rich is the one who’s payed

I disagree
Don’t hurry
You’ll grow worry lines

***********************************************************

FADE AWAY
Dark sky tonight seems light
Flourescent fires - a glowing silhoutte
Against a grey-tone, concrete life
The clouds cry - cover up and

Slow down, not a sound and here I am
So lost and lonesome and afraid
From where I am the city fades away

I bury down so loud outside
Inside myself there’s not a sound
This city lightshow burns tonight
So cold and bright - shut it out and

Slow down, not a sound and here I am
So lost and lonesome and afraid
From where I am the city fades away

From myself, I’m falling down
As the city fades away

***********************************************************

HIGHSCHOOL
Looking back on the old years
Who’d have thought it’d come to this?
Seems so long since we were here
New lives for the ones we missed

And I thought it’d last foever
Now I know it was time to end
If we went back, would we know each other?
Would we kiss?

For the hearts that were broken
New lives come again
If three words were not spoken
Would we still be in this mess?

Down the road where we lost her
There’s the house were we first met
Nothing stands but a cross now
Turned to dust, the flowers we left

***********************************************************

LIVE A LITTLE
Another second passes
You see the world and cry
Your mother safe behind you
The sunlight in her eyes
She says

Sing a little
Dance a little
Laugh and cry and smile a little
Spend your life alive
You’ll live if you just try

Another year passes
You’re getting used to time
You’ve loved and lost and broken
It’ll be just fine
If you

Another decade passes
You’ve settled on the ride
Heavy eyes grow weary
Your children by your side
Tell them

***********************************************************

VALENTINE
A soft kiss lingers on my lips
As I walk out the door
I’ll miss you eight hours more

Now I’m ready for home
All day I’m gone
I think of you

Now I’m lost here, thinking of the words
Trying to make this
The sweetest song you’ve ever heard
You’re forever mine, sweetest valentine

***********************************************************

TAKE MY LIFE
Smiling so sweetly, her face like the sun
She catches the light in her eyes
Holding his head in her hands, she kisses him
Touches his lips and he sighs

Don’t wear me down more
Don’t twist the knife
Just break my heart
Just take my life

He eases her over, his hands on her waist
Though he tries he can’t hear what she says
The words are so soft and her eyes melt his heart
As he lies there beside her he prays

He sits on the porch, he watches the night
The stars light a fire in the sky
He looks to the ground with his head in his hands
A tear falls from his lips and he cries

***********************************************************

I MISS YOU
I wish this night could last forever
Run your fingers through my hair
Hold you close, my body shaking
Eyes glow brightly, sweetly, kindly

I wish this night would never end
But time moves on
We move on
And I miss you

Hands along your soft, warm skin
Your legs around me holding tightly
Bodies close, our bodies trembling
Smile and kiss you
Oh so softly

The car pulls out, you ride beside me
Try to see your eyes but driving
Holds my attention now and things to come
Hold yours, your words so sweet

I wish this night would never end
As time moves by
It’s hard to say
I love you

***********************************************************

FIRE
The wind lifts like a mist off the sea - carrying me
The sun on the water, a river of light
Spreading like

Fire - filling me
Fire - killing me
Softly and burning me sweetly inside
Riding a river of time
Fire

The land grips to the sea like a vice
Holding horizon in line
Sun blurs the edges in glittering gold
Carried like

***********************************************************

ALL THIS MORNING NEEDS
Light the sky and watch the sun put out the moon
Run your fingers on my lips
And taste the dew

You are all this morning needs
In a love song
You and me

Breath in deep and taste the wind, feel the chill
Icy fingers on your feet
I’ll warm your middle

The sun turns gold the rusty hills and fills your hair
Words that whisper off your lips
Kiss my ears

***********************************************************

THE WAY YOU MOVE
(EVERY TIME YOU SMILE)
The way you move
Makes me want you like I do
And when you smile
Your eyes on me, I lose myself awhile
For a while
Every time you smile
