Soon

Sitting crossed legged on faded sunsets, chewing away on dried out regrets

Time can’t steal your memory, cause like an elephant, this

Stores in the cupboard seem depleted, means are reduced but never defeated

Same heart soldiers on determined to ensure that this

Underneath a snow crust moon, dreams of sunshine and flowers in June

The calendar cannot keep the days from rolling ahead, oh!  But baby soon!

Staring though frost covered windows, a reflection of concern on his face shows

Plans be damned, you know it’s always something, isn’t that just the way it goes?

Determination echoes in his ears, sometimes at night

Hurts sometimes, the absence of your touch gets too much, and I end up in tears

Underneath a snow crust moon, dreams of sunshine and flowers in June

The calendar cannot keep the days from rolling ahead, oh!  But baby soon!

Soon we will quell the doubt, quiet the chatter and worries

Whether or not we can stand together, soon baby we will

Soon we will embrace the coming days, slow dancing as the music plays

Even when it stops this pair keeps on, soon we’ll enjoy this

Soon mama, soon I will wake to your smile, soon my love in just a little while

Soon we will be together forever cause true love never goes out of style

Underneath a snow crust moon, dreams of sunshine and flowers in June

The calendar cannot keep the days from rolling ahead, oh!  But baby soon!

Speak to me in my dreams

Speak to me in my dreams, rolling across apples, bananas and pears

A space where nothing’s as it seems, free from offhand

Tell me how you love the feel, laughing, carefully picking

Watch so you don’t slip on a banana peel, falling into today using coconut shells for parachutes

Waking up to a monochrome existence, nothing in the

No wonder we meet reality with resistance, so much more fun with the fresh produce and you

Speak to me in my dreams, catch me on a night where we can share a slow dance

The window in the parlor steams, two silhouettes pirouette embracing their subliminal romance

Bossa Nova, waltzing, or even dirty dancing; honey you speak volumes pressed against my chest

This castle in the air where we’re romancing, it’s grand but

Imagination’s escapades delve into perversion, which fails

The thought of you makes a wonderful diversion, none more so than the thought of you here to stay

Help me understand

Alone in a cave, no soul left to save, darkness feels like a grave

Reading tea leaves, they deceive, only message I seem to get is behave

I feel like a stranger in my own land, can’t even see my hand, babe nothing’s as we planned

A little bit longer, a little more time, got to be stronger, quittin’s a crime, help me understand

Phone don’t ever ring, out of blues to sing, I feel like I’ve already covered everything

Covered like a big old bear in a beehive, looking for his honey and he don’t feel a sting

The dreams were oh so grand, see the world hand in hand, get a hall and hire a band

Nights get longer, time drags, weak knees not stronger, our rainbow sags, help me understand

Help me understand how I can drive when I’m blind

You turned out the lights did you think I wouldn’t mind

Help me understand how to hear your solution

I can’t hear you when you speak is it just an illusion

Help me understand, seems I can’t speak in a tone you hear

Why are you getting farther away each time I need you near

Help me understand

Nobody’s got to be right

Used to hang out together nearly every single day

Weather didn’t matter we found something to play

A couple of kids on bikes, riding with no hands trying hard

Lazy summers saw us playing, got them swaying, sunning by

Long summer days, deeds that could’ve made a sailor blush at

Behind those smiles, nobody’s got to be wrong, nobody’s got

Grown up games away to grown up schools

Switch it up down south a bit, bending the rules

Those Falls boys cause a stir, a trail of tears and a mighty

Tell me folks how do you like us now? Hard to sort like two

Just when you think you saw it all Paula wheels down the

Was kind of our motto from the beginning, nobody’s got to be

Time went ahead, we went apart; something got lost out on

Too far southwest, sun baked sympathy dried out and busted

Pointing fingers, backing hate, look hard at the evil you

Do you see Wells, do you see Kell’s, you made our memories

I’m sure you kept mementos that your sister put together,

On dirt bikes, flipping off the world saying, nobody’s got

Cause it’s not about that, cross my heart and swear to God

It’s all about a couple kids having each other’s back, it’s

Picture this babe

Come to me woman, and butter my fears with the comfort of

 of tomorrow's that we

and keep them in a pretty vase in our minds to share forever;

Picture this babe, close your eyes and softly kiss me

Install yourself an app to keep track of more than just

Why not store things you encountered along the way there and

Grab hold of the best things you see, enjoy them now to the

Picture this babe, we can plant a garden of giggles and tend

Wrapped in candy coated aspirations

Passionately exchanging flirtations

If it’s a wondrous thought might do the trick

We’ll have a yard full of them from which to pick

Picture this babe, you and I swinging in our meadow of

Picture this babe, just like those fairy tales we’ll live

How do I say

How do I say I’m sorry for your pain? Do I show my ignorance

Do I just utter the syllables and form the word, in time

Or do I wrap my life around the wounds, and say through my actions,

How do I say I would be happy to give, all I have and all I

With you. I see tomorrow’s full of hope, life is full of pitfalls

Those days at the bottom, picturing that dream, ride the

How do I say I love you and will beyond measure? Do I try to

Do I tell you I’d forsake it all as long as I could stand, beside

Or do I show you by my never-ending deeds, by perpetually trying

How do I say I love you, well I only know one way, kiss you goodnight,

That’s how

Your valiant shine

It’s the big day to send a red heart.

You’ve had mine right from the start.

I could ask you to be my valentine

But instead, I’ll offer to be your valiant shine.

When the clouds won’t let you see the sun

And we fall apart cause we can’t have any fun.

Life gets dull, but no worry; cause along with being mine

You get a cloudy day cleared away, from your valiant shine.

Forget the red candies and please no corny movie

No new things to try, just kick back with you and get

Throw on some old tunes and get our emotions flying!

Yeah, that’s what I do I dust off the best I’m your valiant

Crave

Dreaming of a river, sunshine, and a slow raft, seeing you

Splashing me and telling me how glad, how you were thrilled with

Drifting as we lovingly embraced, feeling your passion

Moments like these I would forever save, dream them again

Woman you are my heart’s desire, set my soul on fire, lying

TV shows play but I really can’t focus, walking the yard and

Eager to show off their beautiful bloom, their radiance

Birds sing it’s nearly time for rebuilding the nest, come

Like a bear awakening stumbling from his cave, I’m ravenous

But there ain’t nothing wrong with me that embracing you

I crave the scent of your neck, to kiss your face, I crave

I crave your lying there in your sexy lace, I crave you

I crave everything about you, from the start and babe I

Well…

What are the good old days? Who gets to share them and who

Happiness is better shared, whether with chicken or some fat

People on the right say we need to get back, got to add some

We need that last guy again,  get us revved up, keep the immigrants out, put

Make the bad nations cringe in fear, keep our jobs plentiful

Get the economy going and get the stock market back in gear

Well…huh

Right now, unemployment is under 4, the highs before the

Border plan brought by the right, agreed to by the left but

Cause that Mr. Wonderful from before says no, he wants to

Showing the country how they need him to fix this toilet,

Don’t you listen to a word of that jive, as honest as

Everyone has a right to freedom, clean air, fair trade; and a

Well…duh

But look around you

Blessed

Blessed are those who are quick to offer a prayer

Blessed even more are those who are always there

Blessed are the ones who offer their love from the start

Blessed are you cause you have a home in my heart

Blessed is the sun that lights a new day to improve

Blessed are the fruits that supply the energy to move

Blessed honey is the shelter you provide to warm my soul

Blessed for eternity are those vows that make us whole

Blessed is today, maybe not the one that we held out hope

Blessed is the strength we have in our love that lets us

Blessed are you for believing that it’s easier to quit than

Blessed are you holding firm to your dreams as you sit and

Blessed will be the morning you wake with your troubles

Blessed will we be for keeping the faith that one day we’d

Blessed times to live our days, joined to become happy as

Blessed be all those whose love keeps the fire lit till the
