Life: Here & Now II

You won't see me go, You won't notice when I slip away Through the back door to the porch Past the dogs and through the gate I'll take my junk, I'll grab my clothes and guitar Leave the rest untouched Find out what's in store. I'll leave no trace behind I'll not litter up your life with memories of arguments or plans that came undone I'll wipe the slate clean It's already happening I can't see myself in your face I'm gonna leave no trace Rounding the bend usery and superstition flank me new beginnings from an end everyone will blame me I'll leave no trace behind I'll not litter up your life with memories of arguments or plans that came undone I'll wipe the slate clean It's already happening I can't see myself in your face I'm gonna leave no trace This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States License

so good to hear your voice again forgot what a comfort sweetness can be though it was simple, a "hello", a "how ya doin?' something in your voice did something to me

Come back to my dreams Make these nights less lonely Come back, so I can pretend you are mine Since you went away I've had more sleepless nights than I can say So won't you please come back to my dreams and stay It's hard waking up to the morning silence Instead of your sweet words in my ear Only God knows about the crying And the long sleepless nights with no tears. I've already paid the price of admission Though at each gate someone wants to charge me more You are the subject of my confession Though you're not standing at my door Come back to my dreams Make these nights less lonely Come back, so I can pretend you are mine Since you went away I've had more sleepless nights than I can say So won't you please come back to my dreams and stay This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States License Posted mobile from my Nokia E-71

there isn't a care that will keep me from here not a worry that can keep me away when I'm with you sky's always blue the way we spend a lazy day just talking through things, holding hands solving all of the world's problems bringing peace on earth with each kiss nothing beats an afternoon like this it's a lazy day and in some crazy way it's the day I work the most when i'm spending time with you but I never tire your desire keeps me going, fills me up on a lazy afternoon full of love we've got plans, or at least intentions, things we're gonna do some day and it's true, i'm planning for you and I like it that way it's a lazy day and in some crazy way it's the day I work the most when i'm spending time with you but I never tire your desire keeps me going, fills me up on a lazy afternoon full of love This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States License

I've been thinking 'bout you long and hard What you do has caught me off guard squiggling your way into my heart I've been thinking 'bout you long and hard There's something 'bout the way you talk that gives my heart a shot Sometihing about the way you walk makes me wanna beat the clock Don't quite know where you're from But you sure are lots of fun Don't quite know where you're from But look what you've gone and done I've been thinking 'bout you long and hard What you do has caught me off guard squiggling your way into my heart I've been thinking 'bout you long and hard How did I get my wish Lighting from that first one kiss Strikes me as a thing i'll miss Leaves me feeling just like this Picked me up, spun me around Got me breathing with a sound Don't leave me on the edge of town Dancing 'bout what I have found I've been thinking 'bout you long and hard What you do has caught me off guard squiggling your ...

Woke up from the dream Where your eyes flashed green and my tears ran clean across your lips Torn asunder, inside out Samson's pillars pulled down trouble comes to the house and blows the wind Lush fields over there Barren rocks stand piled here Nothing left to fear A memorial On my knees to pray At mercy's open way Hard to really say Confessing all Torn asunder, inside out Samson's pillars pulled down trouble comes to the house and blows the wind Now it's all been said And love is found not dead As I lay my head Upon this pillow This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States License

It's been a while, way too long: The music's done, but not the songs that live here. Thoughts of the smiles, the long talks French acrobats in crazy socks -- I remember. I know I can't go back to those left-behind days -- Can only go on to better ways, but I still love Paris. I love the way Paris stretches languid -- Spread out, a delicious banquet of startling sights and cucumber scents. I still love Paris... It's been a while, way too long.

when we were kids we watched as men went to the moon and our brothers and cousins went far away too when we were kids we each lived in our own worlds one awkward little boy, one beautiful girl back then, if I had bumped into you I'd have stumbled and stammered wouldn't know what to do back then, I'd have been a fool back then, if you'd been lookin at me with those eyes and that smile trying to get me to you back then, I'd have been a fool when we were teens girl, you were lookin so hot and then there was me, thinking I'm not when we were teens you were way too smart I was too blind to movements of my heart back then, if I had bumped into you I'd have stumbled and stammered wouldn't know what to do back then, I'd have been a fool back then, if you'd been lookin at me with those eyes and that smile trying to get me to you back then, I'd have been a fool here we are now in a different time and place and that sweet smile is still on your face her...

You're still here Through it all You're watched me run and win You've watched me fall

Went up to the ranch, just to get away for awhile Folks at the X Diamond really go that extra mile Don't ask questions, though by their looks I think they know That something's happening, cos I'm going riding all alone

when we're together, everything's in tune the world is spinning, but here in the room the energy flows so I don't have a chance when we're in the resonance everything around me is out of synch going so fast, I miss it if I blink But you make sure I slow down enough to dance when we're in the resonance it's amazing how this all begins it's hard to figure how it could ever end cos every day the waves come back again washing over me like the tides of the sea don't need an amplifier, it's alright got plenty of power to keep it going all night room keeps gettin hotter, speed up that fan when we're in the resonance it's amazing how this all begins it's hard to figure how it could ever end cos every day the waves come back again washing over me like the tides of the sea when we're together, everything's in tune the world is spinning, but here in the room the energy flows so I don't have a chance when we're in the resonance This w...

standing by the wall, watching all the others walk by conversations fade in and out, eyes never meeting mine even if you're looking for me, I might be a little hard to find yeah, I'm just a little shy of what you had in mind you were hoping for a hero, I'm not the rescuing kind you've been coming up with answers; I can't tell you why it might seem I'm being evasive, but why should I lie? yeah, I'm just a little shy of what you had in mind it wouldn't take that much for me to come out of this shell and watching you walk away is gonna feel like hell just give me a look, say a word, or simply do something kind of like what you used to do when I was on your mind I know you've had plenty of reasons to give me the stiff brush something was wrong from the start, and I've ruined what you could trust and now it's so bitter in your mouth, just like old soured wine yea, i'm just a little shy of what you had in mind it wouldn't take that much for...

it's clearer there up in the mountain air and I can see where I want to be by your side under the bluest sky it's exactly what I want to see going down to Ruidoso, where the ski elite and the oilmen come to retreat where the mountain grows up to heaven's windows and we look in at what will be down in Ruidoso Find out for me If it's meant to be and I'll be there on the next train to hold you close smell the coffee roast and we'll start it all once again going down to Ruidoso, where the ski elite and the oilmen come to retreat where the mountain grows up to heaven's windows and we look in at what will be down in Ruidoso This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States License
