POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
where are you
how long has it been now baby i can’t count days anymore
wrapped up in these feelings i just can’t ignore
down deep my hearts stretched way to thin
just wishing i could see him again
but all i can do
is let the rain fall
lay back and feel the sunrise
dream about those big blue eyes
of love , love, love
oooh where are you
where are you
let your love light shine
give me a sign
oooh where are you
where are you
wondering though the back of my mind chasing memories
regretting the little things all the hows and whys...

love killer
i’m half crazy
bathing in your sin
my minds a little hazy
can’t remember where i’ve been
but i’m a love killer, heart stealer
cold hearted love killer
come nail me to my cross
hear my howling
you leave me breatheless
out here prowling
for you, for you
yeah i’m half crazy
screaming in the night
everythings getting sleazy
in the bright moon light
i’m a love killer, heart stealer
cold hearted love killer
come nail me to my cross
hear my howling
you leave me breatheless
out here prowling
for you, for you...

wishin' on you
she’s still but shakin’ alone with her heart
in a room so deep swimming in the dark
thoughts still lost inside my head
keeps me thinking in shades of red
and she said, it only hurts when i laugh
the pain rolls up inside cuts me in half
she said, she’d love me till we die
in the depths of the night staring at the sky
i’m wishin’ on you
wishin’ on you
through all heavens stars
wishin’ on you
wishin’ on you
through all the pain and scars
i’m wishin’ on you
wishin’ on you
she’s mine in time...
in a room so deep swimming in the dark
thoughts still lost inside my head
keeps me thinking in shades of red

the pain rolls up inside cuts me in half
she said, she’d love me till we die
in the depths of the night staring at the sky
i’m wishin’ on you
wishin’ on you
through all heavens stars
wishin’ on you
wishin’ on you
through all the pain and scars
i’m wishin’ on you
wishin’ on you

don’t stop believin’
on a lonely covered night i remember when
hiding from the lights till they called us in
i can’t say i love you i can’t say nothing
to cure the blues that you’ve been humming
just don’t stop believin’
that’s what journey told us to do
no don’t stop believin’
the power of love is true
don’t stop believin’
no don’t stop believin’
on a moon spattered night i washed a few down
spitting out anger hollering nouns
wishing i had the answers wishing i had something
to fuel your light to keep it burning
just don’t stop believin’
that’s...

same old story
woke up this morning realizing
that the past ain’t never coming back again
started me walking with this pocket full of blues
sipping scotch whiskey listening to my muse
thinking about the way things use to be
she just looks at me like i’m crazy
saying hey hey hey hey
it’s same old story different day
i’m caught up in the moment i hear her say
it’s just the same old story
same old story different day
come on baby are you going my way
my way
covered up in the darkness i’m feeling
stretched out to the slow beat of dylan
watching...

pretty little girl
pretty little girl with the blue jeans on
catches my eye and the moments gone
pretty little, pretty little girl with the blue jeans on
steals my heart so we can get it on
lets get it on
walking the halls of my memory
chasing down every glimpse of you
bandanna hips swinging over me
oh lord i hope my aim is true
pretty little girl with the blue jeans on
catches my eye and the moments gone

steals my heart so we can get it on
lets get it on

cherrytown
on a night so bright she stole my soul
by the dash board light is where i lost control
crystal blue persuasion rising through the air
dance across my heart baby i don’t care
she shifts me down down down
to cherrytown
marry me go round round round
in cherrytown
bury me baby
in cherrytown
cherrytown
on a hand painted night she drew me in
with a flesh colored love i let her win
sweet talkin' woman never skips a beat ...

my hand
i go walking to the river my heart in my hand
i go walking to the river my heart in my hand
waiting for this darkness to fade
lay down in this bed that i’ve made
i had you once
i had every chance
i had all the love a man could stand
right here in the palm of my hand
in my hand
my hand
i swear you were the only one
i swore you were the only one
let the river come and take me down
down down without a sound
i had you once
i had every chance
i had all the love a man could stand ...

but you
i go marching to my own drummer
with you by my side
walked through all the thunder
crossing the great divide
i got nothing left to lose
got my head in a noose
swinging with these blues
nothing left to lose
nothing left to lose
but you
baby baby but you
took a drive down the wrong highway
with you along for the ride
i never meant to go astray
where love and hate collide
i got nothing left to lose
got my head in a noose
swinging with these blues
nothing left to lose
nothing left to lose

crazy like love
i washed up on her shore
searching for a cure
she’s got me in her sights
dead to rights
ain’t feeling real lucky
its all getting fuzzy
but hey hey
she’s got me running blind
going out of my mind
all rolled up ready to burst
baby i think i’m cursed
not feeling real lucky
everythings getting crazy
yeah
you know she’s crazy like Larry
on a hot summer night
pedal down getting dirty
in the back of my car making it right
you know she’s crazy like
(oooooh ah oooooh)
you know she’s crazy like ...

the devil in me
i stare it down everyday
a lusty heart tugging on my strings
makes me week in the knees
makes me a slave to the sin of things
i know i know its the devil me
that rolls me in the night
i know i know it’s the devil in me
that makes the wrongs feel right
the devil in me
the devil in me
the devil in me
please please
it’s the devil in me
i stroll around my mind
trying to stay clear of the dark corners
lingering on the edge of the light
holding hands with the mourners

gypsy
i‘m waking up to colors of gold and white
shinning through my window
leaves with this feeling
that runs through me calling
you’re gypsy
always been a gypsy
got it running through my veins
like runaway trains
the gypsy in me
(you’re a gypsy)
the gypsy in me
i can’t shake the feeling
i gotta move
i gotta move on
standing at the edge of a long long road
blacktop shimmering in my eyes
leaves me with this longing
that runs through me laughing
you’re gypsy
always been a gypsy

standing at the edge of a long long road

that runs through me laughing
you’re gypsy
