no love to spare
if you have no love to spare
what the hell are you doing here
you can be so attentive
then you act like you just don't care
if you have no time for me
then why don't you just let me be
you know my heart aches for you
I'm afraid that I'm losing you
if you care at all for me
I'm asking for some honesty
there's other fish in the sea
so love me or just take your leave
what the hell are you doing here
you can be so attentive
then you act like you just don't care
if you have no time for me
then why don't you just let me be
you know my heart aches for you
I'm afraid that I'm losing you
if you care at all for me
I'm asking for some honesty
there's other fish in the sea
so love me or just take your leave

The Lady Blue 5
It was not too long afterwards, Joe Racine came onto the scene. He strolled into The Lady Blue that night with his saxaophone under one arm, a lighted cigarette dabbling from his lips. He had blond hair, his bangs all long and hanging down to the left side of his face. I was taken aback by his stunning blue eyes.
He asked if he could play along with the band that night and after the show we let him join the band. After all, he was the best damn sax player any of us had ever heard.

The Lady Blue 4
I knew after that night that I was unquestionably and hopelessly in love with Gary. It never occurred to me to turn away from him. I grew up admireing him and had been constantly fantasizing about being with him. Finally, I was seeing my dreams come true.
Still I felt that being in love with a married man was not too smart. I remember hearing my father say when he was still alive, "if you're gonna play you've got to pay."I wasn't sure what he meant by that. I was only a kid. But I remember Pa saying that to Ma quite often when I was young. In the back of my mind, I was...

The Lady Blue 3
I will never forget the first kiss Gary ever gave me. It happened one night after babysitting Gary, Jr. at their house.
Gary drove me home that night kidding me the whole way about me dozing off before they returned home.
He parked the car along side one of the lighted lamp posts lining our driveway.
There was a long silence during which time, I found my eyes moving slowly over his well-built body. I imagined him taking me in his arms and holding me as he professed his fervent love for me. I wished then that I would never have to get out of his car...

rhyme me a nickel (rhyme me a dime)
rhyme me a nickel
or rhyme me a dime
I'm so happy that
you're mine
see me climb
a mountain high
shout I love you
far and wide
rhyme me a nickel
or rhyme me a dime
I'm so happy
I could cry
I love you
both heart and mind
I pray you never
say goodbye

shades of indigo
our lives are joined
not by choice
but by blood
and yet
if I could've
hand-picked
my oldest sister
I would have
chosen you
you with
the beautiful
purple hair
(mother's favorite color)
and strong spirit
you who
I have always looked
up to
walk with me
in shades
of indigo

orphan train
who will help the children
aboard the orphan train
some of them may never
see their siblings again
who will help the children
to start their life anew
who will show compassion
for the unadopted few
who will help the children
once aboard the orphan train
to find the ones who loved them
and help alleviate their pain

two thousand soldiers
two thousand soldiers have died
while fighting the war in Iraq
and there is nothing anyone
can do to bring our men and women back
oh, how heartbreaking it is
to keep seeing the death toll on the rise
the mothers and the fathers
husbands and wives whose pain intensifies
i can not help but wonder
when it comes down to it is it worth this
the families being torn up
as the names of heroes increase the list

love in the dust
damn love, damn love
damn the love that
you never returned
will I ever get
anything but burned?
a man can sure
make a woman blue
forgive my poetry mouth
but damn you, too!

Crossroad
I've had to be strong for so long
Some days, it seems all I do is hang on
I throw myself at your mercy
and all I do is pray on.
You see, I've come to a crossroad
I am not sure which way to turn
But Lord, I know that you love me
And I've still got lessons to learn
So stay here beside me
This uprooting is so very hard
I need you now more than ever
And you've brought me this far
Sometimes, life is overwhelming
Don't know which path to go...

Really Bites
No one knows
The pain I hide
Down hearted
Dumbfounded
Numb to life.
No, nothing
Seems right
I'm losing my grip
Can't see the light
Reality bites.
The pain I hide
Down hearted
Dumbfounded
Numb to life.
No, nothing
Seems right
I'm losing my grip
Can't see the light
Reality bites.

My Choice
you didn't have to break my heart
I did it for you
I believed your soulful eyes
right up to the bitter end
knowing better than to hold onto dreams of being the woman
you would cherish
the one you would come home
to every night and make love to
your eyes lied and I foolishly
believed them
longer than I care to admit
but nonetheless it was my choice
to let you stay
I did it for you
I believed your soulful eyes
right up to the bitter end
knowing better than to hold onto dreams of being the woman
you would cherish
the one you would come home
to every night and make love to
your eyes lied and I foolishly
believed them
longer than I care to admit
but nonetheless it was my choice
to let you stay
