Collections VOL.III / Mary

MARY

Her memory still fills me, like air fills my lungs,
This young broken down body, moves slowly,
But these hands are strong, an my steps still have a purpose
But Lord, How I doubt it will keep going
~~~
My Shadow crashes the waters stillness,
Causing ripples an makin waves,
As She sits by the river,
And I don’t know how I’m gonna do it,
Lord; How can I tell you,
My dear, all that lives is born to die,
And I don’t know if I can stay an play no more
I have looked out my window an see you walkin,
All alone among the trees,
No matter where you look or are walkin, your gaze will always have me hypnotized,
Why is it you never feel or see me watchin,
~~~
Mary, my Beautiful Maria… Eternal lover an caretaker of my soul,
Why don’t you ever let me see you with your long hair down,
Maybe its time you turn an look it, is this how you want it to stay
All that’s born is meant to die my darling, until the Eternal father,
comes an takes his children home,
~~~
I don’t know how I’m gonna tell you,
No I don’t know how I can do it,
Darlin, I’m just a poor boy an a rambler, watchin you from the dark side of town,
Oh my darlin senorita… I know you’re a child of nature, but I seen you sing an crying
And you have a name for everything
My lovely hippie gypsy, I seen you dancin,
Ridin tigers and kissin tiny flowers, when you thought my eyes were turned away,
I don’t know what I can say about it, when I know your ears are turned away
Oh, oh my very special darlin, is that the way you think it ought to stay,
Oh… I don’t believe that’s it wise, No, I don’t believe that its right, Oh No I don’t my Love, no, no I don’t
And I don’t know how I’m gonna tell you, I don’t know how I can leave
But I know I’ll always love you, casting my shadow down by the river side

I LOVE YOU

G,C, Em

Forgive me Babe, what I say, Forgive me Babe, What I might do;
And when you think of me, just remember… I love you,
Please don’t remember me, with my faults,  
Coming home late, coming home drunk,
And when you think of me, just remember I love you
I know that You’re a good looking woman,
Who deserves better than what I’m offering you,
Minimum wage, early grave, I was amazed that you said yes… To me,

D A7 Em

The cuts on my arms, and the hardness of my hands,
Steeltoes and the sweat that drips off of me,
All of these things show how hard I work, and how much that I love you,
Baby Please don’t put me down,
I know, the wants and the needs of a woman your age,
Is more that a Poor man like me can ever give or satisfy,
Please don’t remember me, with my faults
But When you think of me, Just remember that, I love you,

F C G,
D A7 Em

Yes, I never became the man that you hoped I’d be,
And letting you down it seems became just another name for me,
Over the years, my hair has thinned, and my body is slowly getting worn and beat,
But when all else fades, your image in my eyes still remain,
Everything I do, I always done for you,
But I’m still a man, Babe can’t you see what I am,
Please don’t remember me, with my faults
And when you think of me, just remember that I Love you;

Master of Love

Still feels like yesterday, though it was long ago
I was standing in the darkness, young an insecure,
All alone an needing shelter, from the storms keeping me from the shore,
And I know that I didn’t know you, though I swore that I knew you from before,
I was a dweller on your threshold, with memories of our loves wave length from lifes before
It’s been years since we both said I do,
We were so young, we were strong an sure,
You were so lovely… Lord you were the Love of my life,
And I remember what you told me, before you kissed me an held me tight,
I love you darling, I love you, For better or worse, whatever fate it may be
Rich man or poor mans wife, long as it may be,
and those were the vows that you said unto me,

Years went slowly by, an tested the truth of every vow said,
an though time is kind to no man,
Your lovely words still fill my mind,
And the Love we made still fills my sleep,
Lord; The mountains that we shook, and the valleys that we filled,
Someday darlin you’ll return, an see all the mountains that we moved,
Left broken down, an remade in the images that you seek,

Your the Master of Love, you bring inspiration life after life;
From death unto life, you bring more love than ever I seen,
And I once Feared the darkness, Cause I did not know what your light could bring
A mind so full of fears, no room for dreams left, anymore,
On the hills, deserts or in the hallows,
there are worse things waiting than Love for us to fear,

You know I love you darlin,
But I don’t want to wait no more,
As I sit behind closed doors, I am left feeling sorry for it all
Should I fall out of Love, to chase a dream that might have no end,
I sit an wait for days of a Love returned,
That the spirits an elders said would return one day again
There comes a time when tears shed leave no trace,
When falling in a desert without his loves life springs,
Darlin, This song is not just for you, No, it is not just for you,
It is also sung for me, how you taught me about my destiny, an our loves wavelength we share,
And I don’t need to cry come back darlin come back,
cause I know its coming back round again, one more chance
An yet, everywhere, its still all around, all the secrets an Love we shared,

Husband to a Friend

Flying by like a star in the dark night
You Filled me with wonder an filled me with a light,
Fading out before the light in us was ready for the cold long dark night
The Love Light was gone before its time,
I gave my love, I shared my years,
I shared my bed with you for all these years,
You’ve know my dreams you’ve known my fears,
I gave my life, I shared my vows for all these years,
For better or worse, there would be there could no one else,
But darlin after all these years of goin from your lover to your friend,
My mind is no longer in control of me, the spirits gone an the heart he feels he’s dead,
An after all the time I must finally know, Darlin since an if I’m just your friend,
Will you let me be free an try an love again,
After all the years, even though the music box has stopped, in your words I still believe,
All I wanted was for you to love me the same, Lovers till the end,
No, No, no… please don’t let me just be a friend, Oh this heart ache I can’t take,
It hurts too much to think, the tears blinding me, as I try to hang on to every past memory,
Cryin for what might have been, what could have been, Darlin please don’t leave me this way,
I know you want me to stay, an talk an just laugh about our day,
But in you I still love you so much, an I need you here inside of me,
Don’t turn your husband into a friend,
Lord how I wish that this love would live on
But there is no light an there was no child,
Lord, how can I walk out the door, when I cant even crawl,
Let me Love again, Lord for the first time I know fear,
Layin here next to you, I’m afraid to open up my eyes, an see you stare at me that way…
My Beautiful Girl, I miss you so much,  I didn’t know how heartbreak can leave you this way
Why did you take the better part of me, an leave me crippled an weak,
Do you think of times with me when Im not there,
Did you know what you were givin up in me when you left me this way
This letter to you I send, Lord let this be a way,
By the time mornin light heads our way, I don’t know if I have the strength to be here for the sunrise an the mornin breeze,
In this letter that I send, can you see the tears on my face, try an see the words that are within me,
Oh the love of my life,,, I still feel love for you right now,
But Darlin set me free, an let me love again,
This letter next to you on our bed I will place,
Signed: Your Husband to a friend

Early Mornin Train

D   D4   D  G  C  Cadd9 C   D   D4

Said hey Baby girl, take me by the hand,

Give me the time, for us both to try and laugh and heal,

I know it’s time, that,,, you must leave,

but darlin,,, please, sit and stay with your man,

Mornin will have enough tears…

Try and remember a feelin, Let me see where I still stand

Let tonight take us far away, to another time and place,

Lately we been actin restless, neither truly understands,

And Tomorrow I get on that mornin train, an nothing will ever be real,

Somewhere in time, I know that, your still mine,

And Somewhere in time, I know that you still feel,

I know your afraid, but for tonight darlin, let’s just laugh and heal,

See beyond tomorrows fires and fears,

Try and see the light, try and hear the sound,

Its still our own private little world spinning around,

The changes between

She moves across the room like a classic beauty
Why do I love you, when you will never be all mine
Just mine… MINE, no one else’s
My Love for you is both innocent and pure,
Wanting to just love you;
Without asking for anything in return,
My Love for you is a strong love
My Mind an heart wants an craves for you

There was a time, could tell you everything bout her;
Anything she want, I got it…
Dreams of mine, never stay in mind,
She tells me everything, and like a thought
She sings her song like a bell ringing in the night
In the mornin words vanished that were spoken sweetly in the night,
Well its much to late to try again,
Who’s to blame when two hearts fade,
Something inside us begins to shatter,
Who can put a name to the madness tumbling forward from within,
Words shouted out strike hauntingly familiar, now fill my head,
I curse you to remember me in every single way
remember every day,

Who have you been with, that makes you forget bout me,
I still remember the beautiful, the memorable, the stunning,
Young gorgeous lady that kept me chained to her feet;

When the fright of being alone strikes
like thunder in the middle of the night
You shined on me like a candle in the dark
showing me the inner light
You were once my morning light
You were my everything,
And how I could love you
If you would have let me,
The memory of you is enough to make me love

Memories of all that was so precious to me,
They do not cover up the things you are doing to me now;
The touch of your hands, and the kiss of your lips
They used to set me on fire,
Can you see the change between,
The move of your hands, along side of me,
The feel of your hands is like freezing rain now
When you try to move within me…

When I find the words


She sits weepin alone by a tree,
Crying life is unfair,,, How to Love unconditionally,
Now that Wisdom an patience has come,
Youth and Looks has fade from me,
And Her cry rings out clearly in the night,
Who would now be her lover,
The sky is now starless, an she slowly fades away cryin in the night,
Wonderin, who would love her now, unconditionally,

But Lord, its Never to Late,

His eyes are moist, sittin silently, remembering,
Wonderin Why, Now that Wisdom an experience has come,
Strength and Vitality has faded from me,
The world is so very cold,
And I don’t know just what to do,
I want more, than I need,
I don’t know…how to be,
And I, So Very far from home,

I want more, than I need,
I don’t know, I don’t know how to be,

Sittin alone in the dark,
Drinkin my FireBall, my Cinnamon Whisky
Wonderin If its too late,
To try an start over again,
Make them learn my name,
Change tomorrow, forgive yesterday today,

When I finally find the words, I will come back for you,
I will return, Yes my Love, I will return,,,
For you And the promises unspoken we made,
Ooh my Love, my very special darlin,
Run away from our selves, an rebuild our own world,
To Drown in our sea of Love, an start all over again

Don’t you ever stop love, I will swallow up my pride for you,
Without you, my Darlin, I am so dissatisfied,
I Been livin here without you, I would never leave again,
Hold on, Lord forgive me, I finally see lifes truth,
I could love both halves of you, if you could me
The two of us here, we both finally see,
Whether close or far away, when thinking of you love,
Your love is thinking of me,  

Like Little drops of rain, falling from you,
and with every little drop, you know I love you more
As I kiss the pain, my salvations light,
You’re the song that’s in my heart, As I hold on to every memory
When I Finally find the words, I will come back for you,

            Letters to Maria


I was nowhere, till the memory of you changed my mind

Darlin, I was somewhere that was hard to find,

An I’m in the afterglow, after just the thought of you

the landscape of your face is all I see,

Mí Vída You breathed into me living sound

Love is flowing, love is flowing out of you

an into open doors of my mind, when I was so hard to find

You were lookin for me and an open door,

somewhere that we could sit an breath,

Yes my love come to me, be not the stranger,

let the love light say its peace

Yes me and you can still find a way,

Even if I have to wait till darkness recedes an all my old shadows melt away,

you will see that there is no one left to blame

Just a living sound, as tomorrow now changes

you and I, till the world stops spinning round

~~~   ~~~   ~~~

I’m getting weary, just thinkin of you,

drifting in an out of infinity, yes I’m under your spell

Take me back, to the good ol’ days of lovin you,

do you know the way a Lonely man Really needs you

Open up, your heart, try an see beyond our broken thrown

You belong to me baby, yes I know you well,

Be my dream, wanting only you, Darlin come, come to me, float to me just like a dream does, silently touchin me, be my breath, be my light for when its dark, be my shade when the light is too much, fill me with the hope of loving you, us, we are love, Holy Love you send, for it is higher above all else that has touched my heart and soul… In the dead of the night you come to me and bring me wide awake, in the bright of the day, you come to me as a living dream, Standing here I cannot believe the miracle of simply you, Oh Holy Lover friend, I was lost and cannot say why… I see you coming to me, as a dream will, an I run to you,… again, your wolf: Eddie
