Sobriety
I can't stay here tonight
gotta keep runnin'
but there's nowhere to hide
keep gettin' dragged under
urges build deep inside
control is the problem
Wasted all my yesterdays
fortunes lost, never regained
took awhile for me to see
sobriety brought victory
I can't stay here tonight
temptations weaken me
when we unite
the demons take over
lose track of time
nothing else matters
Wasted all my yesterdays
fortunes lost never regained
took awhile for me to see
sobriety, brought victory
Well I stayed...
gotta keep runnin'
but there's nowhere to hide
keep gettin' dragged under
urges build deep inside
control is the problem
Wasted all my yesterdays
fortunes lost, never regained
took awhile for me to see
sobriety brought victory
I can't stay here tonight
temptations weaken me
when we unite
the demons take over
lose track of time
nothing else matters
Wasted all my yesterdays
fortunes lost never regained
took awhile for me to see
sobriety, brought victory
Well I stayed...

Till night is day
Standing, staring
watching helplessly
as you turn away
your leaving me
Joyful times
soul filled tides
happy memories
slowly drift away
like leaves in the stream
Silent nights
wordless fights
it all seems to me
pain filled feelings
stat to weaken me
I think of where
we have been
and what cannot be
there's no more to be said
our time is at an end
Maybe we
can finally see
just what it means
slowly sinking in the mire
misreading your desires
fooling myself
like only I can...
watching helplessly
as you turn away

Long goodbyes
Standing, on the other side of lonely
looking in
waiting,like a becalmed sailor
for the wind
looking, for a reason not to shed
another tear
feeling, like a paper doll tossed
by the wind
But those long goodbyes
keep taking our time
bring forth all your tears
those long goodbyes
straining our two lives
desperately clutching the years
Talking, to help myself remember
who I am
journeys, a thousand miles out and back
I've been
discovering , what a loss and what a fool
I've been
hoping ,for redemption and...

Your Heart
Again you attack
bludgeon with words
explosive expletives
I do not deserve
when will you see
this is not the way
to live in a ring
defending each day
the things that I do
to sate your needs
come with a price
only for me
look in the mirror
maybe you'll see
the reason that
your so angry with me
you cannot deny
the things I provide
instead you attack
crushing my pride
it makes me sad
especially to see
that the attacks
aren't only on me
crushing ones spirit
is not a...

The Champ
Soundly trounced
the beaten man
warily offered
his shaking hand
to the victor
of the bout
from the start
their was no doubt
That he would fall
this day it seemed
a shame for all
who'd come to see
The Champ reclaim
his title belt
one more time
we all felt
The Champ had won
so many times
you had to know
there'd be a time
when along would come
a newer face
knock him down
take his place
His fans belief, unwavering
his character, unsavory
but that is...

Always the same
Sun rises over that lonely valley
corn fields, they roll on row by row
wide open spaces stretch for miles
except for this ribbon I live on
it's always the same
no matter the games that we play
it's always the same
until you turn it around
in this lonely old mining town in the springtime
you can here a nickle drop on the floor
crows gathered on the fence post they're yakkin
with the scarecrows earl y in the fall
it's always the same
no matter the games that you play
it's always the same
until you turn it around
corn fields, they roll on row by row
wide open spaces stretch for miles
except for this ribbon I live on
it's always the same
no matter the games that we play
it's always the same
until you turn it around
in this lonely old mining town in the springtime
you can here a nickle drop on the floor
crows gathered on the fence post they're yakkin
with the scarecrows earl y in the fall
it's always the same
no matter the games that you play
it's always the same

Hope
I have waited
with breath baited
far too long for you
to tell me a lie
emotional high
oh, my soul it will soothe
to feel just the once
that I was the one
feel like the hand
that fits in the glove
to be the one
that lights up your night
being the sun
burn away your night
Yet again I can see
this will not be
just a lonely old codger
not a gull on the sea
chasing a dream
can never attain
a dance with an angel
to feel young again
a walk through the valley
never hurt any one
can only become...

No Sympathy
The more that goes down your throat
barriers start to crumble
find yourself doing things
you could not imagine
night's still young
so you think
nothing's going to happen
next thing you know
your whole life is shattered
don't cry to me
'Cause you wont get my sympathy
don't want to hear it anymore
I can't make no gaurantee's
I .ve seen this all before
The choices that you make
really make me wonder
where your head is at
your spinning out of control
all that's important now
is another...

The fiction
Startled by the swiftness
of actions gone awry
standing feeling helpless
as the world goes by
say the wrong thing
at the right time
and you will not have to have
a reason to decline
There comes a time
when truth comes out
but t'was plain for all to see
the fiction that did exist
was between you and me
we played the part of partners
lovers and best friends
acting out of loyalty
more than a feeling
Although many years have passed
and change of attitude
nothing has felt the same
since walking in summers dew...

The Night
Waking from a frightening dream
quaking in the night
who has heard my wordless scream
echo through the night
did I wake someone else
from a pleasant dream
or am I facing all alone
this wordless ,pain filled scene
The morning sun, warms my soul
makes me feel alright
the demons can not chase me here
they're only out at night
so I'll make my way
through the day as best as I can
with pleasant thoughts filling me
of good deeds done by man
I can feel the terrors stalking me
as the sun goes down
planning their next...

Along the way
when I first met you
a teardrop in my eye
crying gently
as you squeezed my finger tight
we introduced you
to the world the next day
you wrinkled your nose up
and we headed on our way
We'll make mistakes along the way
there's not much more to say
we'll make mistakes along the way
but it is true
we'll always love you
Staring through
the looking glass of time
I can still see you
riding your first bike
the scrapes and bruises
you earned yourself that day
proved to serve you well
on your life's journey
