You'll Remember Me

Another day goes by I miss you still.
Forget you I don't think I will.
All of my plans are laid to waste,
Since love put me in my place.

Here I am alone in a crowd.
You let me go, I gave up being proud.
I may look like a fool.
Love can be so cruel.

When you long for me you'll remember.
Everyone you meet, you'll remember.
I'm the one you need.
You'll remember me.

Can't sleep can't concentrate.
You're on my mind all night all day.
You don't know how far I fell.
Love echoes in this well.

Wax Paper Leaves


Here is a photograph of my first born.
It is timeless, a little torn.
Here is a story I wrote back when,
I was story telling.

Here is that pretty little portrait dress.
You wore at three or four I have to guess.
Here's a book with wax paper leaves,
and all my memories.

Can't take it with me when I'm gone, gone.
Can't take the living for long, long.
Can't take the burden that carrying brings.
Have all my favorite things.

Here is a letter your grandmother wrote.
The dollar bill she sewed inside my coat.
Here's her china and her silverware,
and a lock of your hair.

Here, take this old conch shell.
It never did portray the ocean all that well.
Take these dusty things off of my hands.
I'll be free at last.

Chorus

Here is a weathered and fragile hand.
Take it in yours and understand.
I've no possessions but still there's greed.
You're all I need.

Love Where You Can Be


Love, I kind of like the sound of filling these lonely hours, but I'm such a coward.
I'm sad, I want a thing I never had. Maybe this time tomorrow I won't be so low.
Maybe I'll wake up with somebody by my side. Light all the stars
above me, is anybody out there?
Name the time and place where.

One of these days I know.
I won't live a life alone.
Some people say it's heavenly.
Love where can you be.

Time, running out of yours and mine.
Hurry now and dry my tears.
Whisper in my ear.
Tell me you're the man to make it alright.
Ignite all the stars above me.
Is anybody out there?
Name the time and place where.

Snow Waltz


Nose to the window I'm a dog with a thrill caught.
See how the wind swirls the snow off the roof top.
Surf's up I want to ride.

You drift through the chain link and you gather in pairs.
And you move right in sink, Ginger's and Fred Astaire‘s.
Together for one last dance.
And I am a witness to this, your last chance.

Nose to the window, I'm a girl with a dream caught.
See how the wind swirls the snow across the blacktop.
Around like a carousel.

Your all arms and legs acting brand new.
The best and the dregs, and I see right through you.
Together for one last dance.
And I am a witness to this, your last chance.

The Look in Your Eyes


You tell me, you tell me, the greatest love is one that's gone.
But waiting somewhere is a love to turn your heart around.
Sublime and for the making - a diamond in the rough.
A treasure found worth taking - when there's not enough.

Love's a passing fancy when the heart has gone cold.
Void of all of passion's surprise.
Deep inside a mystery awaits to unfold.
When I see the look in your eyes.

You tell me, you tell me, the fate of love is like a gambler's toss.
But waiting somewhere is a love to compensate the loss.
Profound and fascinating - a beacon, a refuge.
A voice, a touch awaking the deepest desire in you.

Fallen Soldiers


A soldier's story is often told, though time conceals the man.
Forgotten glory and dreams of old comrades.
The field of battle at an early age - all valour and virtue.
That's the way ghosts are made.
They're called the proud and few.

Fallen soldier in your garden of stone.
A faceless name standing alone.
The price you pay for freedom can't be given back.

When the guns go quiet and all our sons lay dying can you
tell me what it all meant.
Can we justify the lives spent.

Don't Tempt Me


The devil whispers in my ear from on my shoulder.
There's an angel over here, which one is bolder.
You better keep your conscience clear, a little voice tells me.
Best not believe that nonsense dear, another voice tells me.
Another voice spells me.

Don't tempt me is that an invitation.
Don't tempt me how will I resist.
Don't tempt me so much for salvation.
I might need saving yet.

That devils out to steer you wrong, he's deceitful and sly.
That angel don't really belong, I wouldn't tell a lie.
Don't sacrifice all you believe, your grace under pressure.
Don't deny it now you know you need a little bit of pleasure,
maybe more for good measure.
Pay no attention.
Chorus

A Total Stranger


These are not my hands, my hands give unto others - helping hands.
These are not my feet, my feet wouldn't walk away from your need.
Wouldn't walk away.
Not my hands, not my feet - a total stranger.
Who looks a lot like me.

These are not my lips, my lips pass a kinder word than this.
These are not my eyes, my eyes see a world brilliant and wise.
They see a world wise.
Not my lips, nor my eyes - a total stranger.
Who looks a lot like me.

These are not my arms, my arms are meant to comfort - not harm.
These are not my legs, my legs would stand beside you till the end.
Stand beside you.
Not my arms, not my legs - a total stranger.
Who looks a lot like me.

These are not my dreams, my dreams are full of hope - not calamity.
These are not my fears, my fears aren't falling on deaf ears.
Falling on deaf ears.
Not my dreams, not my fears - a total stranger.
Who looks a lot like me.

The Bells of Saint Rose


The bells of Saint Rose are ringing.
I hear a song bird singing.
A serenade in silhouette.
The hour before sunset.

Web stretched across a window
A fine silk thread that in the wind blows
How delicate - deadly can get
The hour before sunset

Bugs dancing in a spotlight
Everything but me in flight
But I've been thinking I might yet
The hour before sunset

Tiny critters in the tall grass
Will this supper be your last
For easy prey, your fate is met
The hour before sunset

Rooftops lit like they're on fire
The world's abuzz - a live wire
As if it's taking one last breath
The hour before sunset

My shadow's long as any tree
I am no ordinary me
Golden light toughed with regret
The hour before sunset

The bells of Saint Rose are ringing
That songbird is singing
A serenade we won't forget

Beneath The Texas Sun


Vapor trails lined up the sky today
Like a heavenly ghost rail
And I'm going to be flying high today
Like a blue angel

Sunlight glows upon your face
I'm in danger of loving you
Will you stay or vanish without a trace
Without a clue

Here beneath the Texas sun
Parched and dry and all undone
Drench this desolate terrain
Love is pouring down like rain

Too long traveling the world alone
No one depending on me, no demands
I thought that love was a mockery, the great unknown,
the last stand

Suddenly I'm a prisoner caught on fire
Wrapped in unforeseen chains
If this ain't real I'm a bigger fool and a liar
and all to blame

Chorus
Kill me now or carry me away from here
I'll say it once then knock on wood
I never thought I'd ever see a thing so clear
or so good

Chorus

Going Home


One day I will be going home
When my life on earth has ended
On the road to the everlasting
One day I'm going home

I will bathe in the clear cool water
Cleanse my soul with abundant faith
That springs up like a fountain
One day I'm going home

Friends and family will be there to greet me
Finally we'll be all together
That will be one grand reunion
One day I'm going home

A home where love can flourish
And the promise of eternal life
A home where every need is nourished
And everything will be alright

There will be no pain and sorrow
Just the joy of everlasting bliss
No misunderstandings
One day I'm going home

One day I will be going home
When my life on earth has ended
On the road to the everlasting
One day I'm going home
