danger in loving you

Image
Wasn't that long ago I was all alone Like a dead man waiting to walk I had nothing to show For what I had done There wasn't much to me beyond talk Then you picked me somehow Singled me out Said you'd help me turn things around I had to lay some things down Say it out loud Put the things I held dear on the ground They never warned me of the dangers in loving you Never told me that what I'd heard about you is true That you'll love me In spite of the things I might do No, they never warned me of the danger, the danger in loving you There's an end I can see, and you're taking me to a better place than I have known Like a mark on the tree measuring me To see how much I have grown They never warned me of the dangers in loving you Never told me that what I'd heard about you is true That you'll love me In spite of the things I might do No, they never warned me of the danger, the danger in loving you This work is licensed unde

Is there a FaceBook App that can bring my girl back to me? Is there any way to stop my heart from breaking Every time she tweets? Her status is set to "single" She makes no mention of me She won't take any of my quizzes and ignores my poking I'm doing a search now, cos I've got to see Is there a Facebook app that can bring my girl back to me? When I first logged on, she was such a big fan Sent me super-hugs and made sure I was tagged We did everything together, like joining the cause "Save Dogs Named Toto from the Wizard of Oz" Somebody please help me get back on her page Don't think I can take this for one more day Is there a Facebook app to bring my girl back to me? I'm doing a search now, cos I've got to see If there's a way to keep my heart from breaking Is there a Facebook app to bring my girl back to me?

you've got me

Image
You've got me drivin up and down Looking for a parking spot Checkin out the view of that side of town from the back of that vacant lot You've got me thinking about how a moon roof leaks When the summer rains start to pour You've got me trying to see if I can come back for more. I'm a far cry from thinking About what needs to be done And I just might start drinking some Dr. Pepper just for fun. Don't know what I'm doing with these thoughts you put in my head. I know it was nothin you'd done, but it sure was something you said. Last week I saw you in the diner Sittin there on the stool And you certainly couldn't look finer and I couldn't be more of a fool. To think that when you said "see ya later" you were being subtle and sly. You were probably just being a lady, and I know I'm just being a guy....when I say I'm a far cry from thinking About what needs to be done And I just might start drinking some Dr. Pepper just for fun.

breathe

Breathe the breath of dawn. Suck in the exhalation of the earth and all that is within it. Taste the vapors from the mouths of mountains; Inhale the taste of the trees.

the way it is

Image
that's the way it is the way it ought to be things that happen for the reason for which they're happening call it predilection or say I've been swayed into thinking election sometimes comes into play there's a destiny to each step an ultimate direction we need to find and while I'm finding out about yours I keep getting closer to mine some call it an essence some call it the divine when I go looking for you you let me find you every time that's the way it is the way it ought to be things that happen for the reason for which they're happening This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States License

right away

Image
listen to the heartbeat of a man in full retreat as the pounding of his feet on the pavement starts to fade though he's running faster than the demons chasing after still he can't get past her looking straight through him that way and if all this doesn't seem quite right perhaps it's because it's not and if day has a way of ending this night then you should give the sun all you've got right away watching the dust gather all around the slave dancers of the final necromancer in a long line of charades just waiting for some sunlight with this open heart of mine trying to get the next one right and starting up the new parade and if all this doesn't seem quite right perhaps it's because it's not and if day has a way of ending this night then you should give the sun all you've got right away and if all this doesn't seem quite fair maybe you should look again if you missed the mark and hit thin air turn around and walk away from that sin right away.

you can't find the bottom though your fingers are raw the promised bounces elude you while you wait for the next call

say you love me

Image
sit on the park bench feed the birds watch the town fly by there's nothing like this no more words I can find to describe just like the pancakes down at the cafe all I can eat is more than I want anyway but when you say you love me it's way more than i can stand, but say it again that you love me always a surprise there in your eyes when you say you love me down by the river put my feet in feel the fish swim past I could always live there always seein the things that last just like the pancakes down at the cafe all I can eat is more than I want anyway but when you say you love me it's way more than i can stand, but say it again that you love me always a surprise there in your eyes when you say you love me This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States License

mindful

Image
going a mile a minute find there's not profit in it to be speeding by this fast and not see the roadside Momma told me to chew slower Didn't think enough to know her Wisdom would someday cover The non-food parts of life Noisy days and dreamless nights blend in together as I fly in and out of the racing lie about the treasure at the end Pedal's never far from metal No thought of slowing at all No attention to the siren's call to warn me of the deep end Hold my breath in your hand make me mindful of the ways Give me rest Understand The right pull is your way This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States License

it's all good

Image
Sometimes, when no one's listenin, (Not even heaven) And you're wondering why... Sometimes, you have to begin again, Pick up yourself and then Give it a try. It's not always easy to see How things ought to be, But of this you can be sure -- That working in everything Is a plan for it to be Something that becomes good. Yeah, it's all good. Sometimes, when you're stumblin (And you're feelin Nothing's gonna last) Those times, just start askin "what's happenin?" Just have to ask... It's not always easy to see How things ought to be, But of this you can be sure: That working in everything Is a plan for it to be Something that becomes good. Yeah, it's all good.

out on the range riding hard past the endless sage to where you are the dust rises behind me endless skies greet me be there by nightfall the third day coyote's call will not delay your love spurs me on goads me your love cures my ills holds me your love reveals me told me you'll be waiting under the stars desert cools lay my head down hard the beds of fools mountains shadows paint the sky deepest blues speaking softly about you your love spurs me on goads me your love cures my ills holds me your love reveals me told me you'll be waiting This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States License

a way we can see

Image
I'm gonna look out in the mornings Watch the sun rise I'm gonna check out all the fish dancing in the pond I'm gonna watch the leaves swimming in the morning breeze I'm gonna see the clouds painting penguins in the sky And it's all there to remind me of You Show me those hidden things That will always be true And it's all there to help me believe When no one can find You There's a way we can see I'm gonna measure the height of mountains with every gasp I'm going to understand the whole forest by looking at a tree I'm gonna splash in the coldest creek watch moccasins swim Gonna get my feet wet in the dewy grass and let the sunshine dry them And it's all there to remind me of You Show me those hidden things That will always be true And it's all there to help me believe When no one can find You There's a way we can see... it's not the force of nature it's not earth's energy it's the hand of the Creator that's taking c

the truth

stories get told and then they're over songs get sung, but they come to an end legends grow as they get older till no one can "remember when" but the truth, the truth will remain waiting patiently to be discovered once again just like socks it's the right size for all no it's not that complicated I have a theory and you have an idea we test them with a scientific method even if we disprove everything it won't stop our believing but the truth, the truth will remain waiting patiently to be discovered once again just like socks it's the right size for all no it's not that complicated This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States License

stairs

I'll run to get there I'll climb another wall I'll keep slugging it up this hill I'll race down the hall As long as you're waiting Wait a little longer for me I'll be right behind you on the stairs we're climbing This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States License

in the morning

Image
In the morning As the birds sing Before the start of dawn I close my eyes Let go of sighs Listen to a heart song You're better than all the others who'd pretend to be half as good You're always on hand to cover the things I've never understood. Hear the water flowing by me See the smallest flame grow Feel the cool wind As it blows again Across the earthen soul You're better than all the others who'd pretend to be half as good You're always on hand to cover the things I've never understood.

some days

Image
Some days seem like they'll go on forever Some days rush to an end Sometimes I'm convinced that I will never See a day like that one again. It was a day to remember A day to circle in red A day in November The day you got into my head I can still see the gray and cloudy sky I can still feel the wind I can still see the sun start breaking through As you took my hand It was a day to remember A day to circle in red A day in November The day you got into my head Now there's no way to shake it Not that I would No way to fake forgetting you You're here each day when I wake up Thinking about you My heart is turning to you Momma said I'd eventually find a man Momma said dreams come true But I had the dream for so, so long I was still surprised by you Some days seem like they'll go on forever Some days rush to an end Sometimes I'm convinced that I will never See a day like that one again. It was a day to remember A day to circle in red A day in November The day you
