While You Were Away
Isabella told him
‘While you were away,
Rome turned the world burned
While you were away
Man’s joys became women’s toys
And I tried so hard to live without you’
‘I’ve been to other side
I discovered reason to live, a brand new way to love
While I was away
Everything shifted rotated
In a game of hypothetical, theoretical,
Nautical, methodical, musical chairs’
She burned and inquired:
As you reached the ledge, the worlds edge -
What did you see, did you miss me?
Because the cocoa and gold flow
Will make my empire grow
But I just don’t love you no more
I finally learned to live without you’

Drink Myself Sober
If you’re ever in the desert, won’t you look for my camel?
She’ll take you to my palace that I built with my hammer
The stones alone were quite an endeavor
And despite bad weather, she will last - forever
I’ve got orchards of oranges; I squeeze them every morning
Fight off your scurvy and cure you of boredom
Gardens hanging where peacocks gather
Angels swing and mermaids lather - together
If I could drink myself sober, I’d be over,
But there’s bears on edge in town
They’re waiting on me and all that’s left you see
Is wrong since you put me down
Cool blue water at our bedside
Wildflowers tower too
If anyone could calm this storm, it’s you

Divine the Fight
On the line in-between coloring pages
Your form is sharp and mean; your love is contagious
Things that might have been the flood changes
Your life till now was fine but now it rages
Anywhere any night divine the fight
You can never get enough of love or liquor
You can lose but you cannot win her
You lost your halo in the bluff stumbling sinner
You play with love and burn your finger
Anywhere any night divine the fight
Youth costs and your payments late
Time is lost judgment won’t wait
Your heart is crossed yet you’re unsure about faith
Love is your boss but your voices hate
Anywhere any night divine the fight

Let it Be (Me)

Let it Be Me
You need someone to hear your story
You need someone who can turn out the light
You need someone to hold you at midnight
You need someone to touch you right
I’ve got to have you right here tonight let it be me
Carry on thru the night let it be me
One Night is not right let it be me
Someone to hold you through your life let it be me
I spent all day thinking about you
And your sticky slippery lines
I got to split before I lose my cool and
Jump into this wine
Meet me on the hill
Wrap me in your vine
What you’re looking at baby is a man in love
I’m gonna make you mine

The Devil’s Real
I was a wicked child
My father said to me
Son I know your mind is wild
This simple truth will set you free
Be aware son, the Devil’s real
She’ll call to you but she’s a liar
Beware son, the Devil’s real
Fall for her and feel her fire
She had once been Gods favorite
The brightest light in the sky
Then she got to bragging
And telling dirty lies
Beautiful deceiver
Hungry for your soul
If you believe her
She’ll pull you down in the hole
I was wrestling with my angel
Sweet Katy-Leigh
Your faith can save me baby
Help me, set me free

So Far

So Far
In the frozen ground
We plant the seed
The lovers are asleep
We make the sound
The children need
Wound down thru the dreams
As the night
Was softly bending
I fell in your eyes
And the holding arms
You was intending
Caught the holy moon as she rise
And we’re still so far from home
A highway long
A road that’s narrow
We stand out in the blame
The wheel, the song
Flight of the sparrow
We’re coming in from the pain

The End of Night
04:18
|

At the end of the night
When they weigh your soul
And they weigh your purse
As your body rolls
In the velvety hearse
Can you pay the cost?
Can you lift the debt?
Are you lost
As the sun sets?
Are you free to fly in the light?
What do you see at the end of the night?
To be torn
And dissipate
Maybe reborn
For some random fate
Draw your pieces
The Earth Shakes
Your mind ceases
The tide takes
You tumble
You fall
Your ID crumbles
You are naked and humble to it all

Wake
When I wake from this slumber,
Will I remember this Beautiful dream?
I’ve been dancing in the sky on backs of angels
Softly weaving/ spinning this beautiful dream.
When I wake from this slumber,
Will I remember this Beautiful dream?
Your love is my religion
Let us pray. Let us pray.
