I Ride The Plains
04:18
|
|||
|
So
I'm looking around here
trying to find anything
to help me put my past away
and with each sunrise
Home
to forest hills of glass
limbs covered in ice
just like the night
I fell asleep outside
Here
in every barren field
there's nothing I can hide behind
no dying trees to shelter
I'm stuck in my head
Though
the journey home reveals
a look back on the good and bad
the bad still hurts
the good helps the ride

Campfire
03:19
|
|||
|
There is a campfire
in my soul
It was started
long ago
always burning
even in cold
a gift
too large to hold
Now you are walking
in the sun
feeding the fire
that we both hold
the energy
of infinite suns
surrounding us
Laughing at us both
two souls
Now warmed by fire
yet I feel
There is us
and that is enough
When I'm alone
I'm not alone
When it is cold
I am warm
When life is prickly
You are here
hands in my hands
eyes bright with truth

Little One

Little one life unknown
You never got a start
Little one you're not alone
Your soul lives in my heart...
Oh you fill my heart
I never had a chance
To see your sweet smile
I never had a chance
To hold you awhile
I never had a chance
To kiss your soft skin
But I had the chance
To cry for you ...once again
Little one I had dreams
You were in them too
Little one sometimes it seems
I'm always missing you...
Oh how I miss you..
I never had a chance
To see your sweet smile
I never had a chance
To hold you awhile
I never had a chance
To kiss your soft skin
But I had the chance
To cry for you ...once again
Oh little one when I think of you each night
After watching children play in day's light
I'll look up to the dark starry sky
With a tear in my eye
And I'll feel the love of an angel
And send hugs to hold you...
To hold us both tight
I never had a chance
To see your sweet smile
I never had a chance
To hold you awhile
I never had a chance
To kiss your soft skin
But I had the chance
To cry for you...once again

Run to Indigo
02:48
|
|||
|
Golden, was the sunshine of her youth
Violet the flower of truth
and in the air a dozen grains of sand
blowing through the windows of her mind
Speakers from a player, play a song
Reminding her of all the times she was wrong
Chorus
And now she sits waiting alone
for someone to just help her get on
but the shades of her life
and all she used to know
begin to run to indigo
Torn, into the moment she was told
to leave the past behind
but now all this sadness oozes through
Reaching out she grasps at a hand.

Standing In The Light
02:12
|
|||
|
It's the first of 2014
rising in the Southern sky
and every hour has it's special sheen
softly and slowy
the grandness advances
coaxed by Southern breezes
ground level earthiness
a rinse of the senses
Chorus:
Standing in the light
far away from olden sorrows
standing in the light
with another year that's over
standing in the light
dready to move ahead
make the hard times work
make the good times sing with laughter
A young man has his memes
an old man has his memories
and now I stand below
under mid day solar rays
casting no shadow
but with clearing sight
yes here I stand
in the veritcal light
Chorus:
Standing in the light
far away from olden sorrows
standing in the light
with another year that's over
standing in the light
dready to move ahead
make the hard times work
make the good times sing with laughter

Too Good To Be True
02:42

Lyrics: Dee West
February 2014
V1
What’s the point of talking
When all we do is shout?
An old familiar pattern
When we try to work it out
I remember laughing
But laughter turned to tears
A torrent of blurred vision
The storm of recent years
Chorus
Somehow I knew
We were too good to be true
The finer things never last
They become a part of the past
Just like me and you
We were too good to be true
Changes happen all the time
But you wont change your mind
V2
Dreams are for believers
Who trust in love and truth
And I was a subscriber
‘Til I lost my faith in you
We fought a losing battle
The war has come and gone
And ugly scars need healing
Before we can move on
Chorus

Wine and Old Guitars
03:52
|
|||
|
Wine and old guitars…
old, good friends convene tonight,
come! let us sing and drink, head for the stars
the morning light…
There will be some tales
still untold and good for all those smiles…
there will be wine if all else fails
to stop time for a while…
(Chorus)
Wine and old guitars…
let’s sing and drink tonight,
it feels so right
when old friends come around,
we won’t live forever,
wine and old guitars,
wine and old guitars…
Wrinkles on the skin,
eyes are wet, the lips they are sore,
and just before the second verse sets in
we are not young any more…
Tonight let’s not care
what year it is, or who we are,
don’t l talk about things that scare,
but wine and old guitars…
(Chorus)
Wine and old guitars…
let’s sing and drink tonight,
it feels so right
when old friends come around,
we won’t live forever,
wine and old guitars,
wine and old guitars…
(Chorus)
Wine and old guitars…
let’s sing and drink tonight,
it feels so right
when old friends come around,
we won’t live forever,
wine and old guitars,
wine and old guitars…

Silence
02:45
|
|||
|
Silence is a refuge I go to when I must
Words are not sufficient things I cannot trust
Letters strung together to make a thought complete
are just that merely letters the thought cannot compete
Silence then is safer misunderstanding not allowed
For no one can twist or turn something never said aloud
Verses in my head stay there for all time
Covered by the chit chat that no one seems to mind
Bridge
They hear what comes out verbally not what is in my head
If only they could hear my thoughts they'd likely wish me dead
So silence as a refuge protects me as I stay
In places where no one listens in the night or in the day
