Astoria
When I think of all the places I've been And started all over again And the people I left behind A lifeline's crooked sometimes Along the way there were thing's I meant to say But life goes on and on and on And maybe I will never know The story of Astoria The last time that I felt at home Astoria was on my mind Make a wish and maybe it will come true Then run as fast as you can But the world catches up anyway The boy becomes a man Along the way there were thing's I meant to say But life goes on and on and on And maybe I will never know The story of Astoria The last time that I felt at home Astoria was on my mind And I'm coming back to you Yeah maybe this time Those dreams of younger men won't complicate my mind All I want to do Is to get another chance to be with you But you can't go back in time Reset The Default
I've got to reset the default Turn Back the page Delete all the data that keeps fueling my rage I can't remember when Or how it used to be back then Before my thought were interrupted, adjusted and corrupted Was there ever a plan To defeat the forces in the field If so where should I stand to be understood You know I'm not a believer, but I'd sure like to see If you could show me how to get back down to New York City I'm just a simple man living in a strange land I'm just a simple man living in a strange land Reset the default Wipe the slate clean Download all new software Upgrade this old machine Take back control Fortify my heart and soul See the world with new perspective,that's efective and corrective How can I ever change The patterns they put into place erase and make me stranger Indifferent to the dogma If there ever was a time to say what needs to be said You know we all fall down That's not a crown on your head I'm just a simple man living in a strange land I'm just a simple man living in a strange land Gotta Let Her Go
You think about her all the time When will this ever end She's gone for good now can't you see She won't be back again You deny it and say How could she ever leave me Then you cry for what used to be Gotta let her go Gotta let her go Gotta let her go Before you lose it all Before you lose it all No one could ever take her place Or change the way you feel But now the time has come To face the truth and start to heal Say goodbye to old memories They only tease Don't rely on what used to please Gotta let her go Gotta let her go Gotta let her go Before you lose it all Before you lose it all Everything's Fine
Now that I'm back in town I find myself believing I'm just better off when your around Separation hurts the soul Never mind how long it take to heal We all need someone to hold sometimes Living my life with you Has been the only thing I believe in I hope you feel the same way to When I'm half you make me whole Remember when you called And we both cried Yea I tend to lose control Sometimes Everything's fine We're living in hard times Not hard enough to break this heart In two When all is said and done In the evening I'm coming home to you Born with a broken heart Like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle We've been fitting together from the start See the picture fan the flame Desire is the fire we all need Your the only one who shares my name And life Everything's fine We're living in hard times Not hard enough to break this heart In two When all is said and done In the evening I'm want to be with you I know some day's seem like they'll never end We run to work Then crawl back home again And after a day on the job With so much left to do I come back home to you With a lot of love I Can't Hardly Wait
I never was the one to carry on Who ever thought I'd be around that long But something in my heart was touched by you Now your the one I want to give it to Cause I can hear the music And I can feel the beat I know it won't be long now Till we become complete I can't hardly wait I can't hardly wait Till that little child of your's n mines arrives Till I look into our little babies eyes They say that youth is waisted on the young And wisdom comes when old age has begun So somewhere in between we all survive But either way it's good to be alive Cause I can hear the music And I can feel the beat I know it won't be long now Till we become complete I can't hardly wait I can't hardly wait Till that little child of your's n mines arrives Till I look into our little babies eyes So In Love
Baby wants to run away Hide herself from yesterday Said she has to go and I have to stay What am I suppose to do I try and help but can't break thru It feels just like my heart is breaking in two I will never be the same To lose at love and live with shame I feel just like a moth who lost to the flame I've never been so in love I've never been so in love Or felt so alone When that someone comes along They change your life and then they're gone There's nothing left to do but you carry on I think about her all the time What we had was one of a kind Lately I'm afraid that I'm losing my mind I will never be the same To lose at love and live with shame I feel just like a moth who lost to the flame I've never been so in love I've never been so in love Or felt so alone Play The Song Right Thru
Another day on the dime This kind of life is a crime Don't think about it being this way Although sometimes now I look back and see A sign of the times Looking back at me Heaven or hell Don't as nobody for nothing When your feeling the squeeze Between faith and seduction I've seen the American dream Now the IRS has got my monies address Gotta fight to believe A rope a dope and a weave First shot can make a man drop pop Just when you think that your winning It all falls apart and your back at the begining Keep on telling yourself it won't be the same You lie just a little To escape the pain and shame You can't explain what it is anymore But it hurts down deeper the it did before Just play the song right thru See what's inside of you Now I'm feeling my age With every turn of the page The default is a death wish illuminated Making the most of all the day's i got left The best dressed guest wears a suicide vest Sometimes now I lose my place Dad is at the head of the table Mama's saying grace The more things change to stay the same The boy and the man in the mirror Have the same face Just play the song right thru See what's inside of you 03/13/16 |
Lost Without You
I am not the same As yesterday And the way I feel Won't go away I just can't believe I won't see you again You have been with me From the begining What am I gonna do now I haven't got a single clue Everything is changing And I'm lost without you I can't eat or sleep My heart is aching If this were just a bad dream I could awaken You took care of me Helped to ease my pain But who was there for you When the rains came What am I gonna do now I haven't got a single clue Everything is changing And I'm lost without you When others turned away You would stand by me Make me strong today I am not the same As yesterday The Other Side
The paper said he had a family But was separated from his wife And while on duty that Christmas eve He saved a homeless mans life And then he walked into a bar And this is what they said He just sat down And shot himself dead In a world where nightmares Seem so real they'll never end If I don't give up They won't get in And maybe I don't see But I try n try n fight with all my might Till I get to the other side I'm gonna get to the other side It's getting really hard to fake it So I gotta know where I stand Cause even when they say that they love you the most Ya gotta be your own best friend Sometimes I lay awake at night And wonder what will be That strangers face It could be me In a world where nightmares Seem so real they'll never end If I don't give up They won't get in And maybe I don't see But I try n try n fight with all my might Till I get to the other side I'm Gonna get to the other side Well the babies been crying all night and I don't know why Sometimes I feel disconnected from the spirit in the sky But I hold her even tighter and I tell now don't you cry don't you cry Everything's alright For The Rest Of My Life
When I woke up this morning The kids were all up and crying Between the sunlight and the shadows I thought I saw a one way sign So I followed it out onto the open road Where I nearly lost my way I looked at where I used to go But here I'll stay Round n round we spin Till we collide In the end you know We're on the same side And I want to be with you For the rest of my life These are the days we dreamed of The times we'll talk about Our children will remind us Of what you can't do without When I think of all of the thing's That I used to want And what got in my way I wonder what the future holds But here I'll stay Round n round we spin Till we collide In the end you know We're on the same side And I want to be with you For the rest of my life I'm Not Sorry
If I was wrong O never even knew it Thought you cared But now I see If I failed it was only in your eyes Loving you was always right by me I'm not sorry For everything we've been thru I'm not sorry I won't take any blame I'm not sorry For saying that I love you It's jut to bad You don't feel the same If there's a line It cuts across the middle You can stand On either side We could never undo all the damage Loving you leaves no place left to hide I'm not sorry For everything we've been thru I'm not sorry I won't take any blame I'm not sorry For saying that I love you It's jut to bad You don't feel the same I had the time of my life and so did you Then things got crazy and turned out bad Don't want to play the blame game You say we've changed I'm not the same Do you really want to run with that one I'm Not Thru Loving You
Don't say goodbye I'm addicted now to wanting you And I keep wanting you all of the time Gotta find a way to make you see The second time is better So much better for you and for me We haven't even started Leave and you'll never know Stay here tonight You don't have to go I'm not thru loving you I don't want to Let this ever end I'm not thru loving you Don't you want me too One more time Take a look around here and you'll see You are the only one for me Please say yes When I'm with you If it feels so good don't run and hide From the thing's that you don't understand I've spent all night Just thinking maybe baby I could make you get crazy again We haven't even started Leave and you'll never know Stay here tonight You don't have to go I'm not thru loving you I don't want to Let this ever end I'm not thru loving you Don't you want me too One more time Take a look around here and you'll see You are the only one for me Please say yes Make U Mine
When ever I'm with u I feel My heart race Can't believe that your dancing with me here In this place It feels like an old time hollywood musical And your looking so beautiful Here tonight The music plays softly as we cross the floor And the lights seem to shine a little brighter then they Did before The way your looking at me just Pulls me in To a place I've never been In my life I'm gonna make u mine It's gonna take some time though I'm gonna make u mine And everybody's gonna know I'm gonna make u mine Someone to believe in I'm gonna make u mine Now I've only known you a week or Maybe two And my friends say I haven't got a chance at Winning you I won't be alone like them this holiday What do they know anyway I'll take my chances with you I'm gonna make u mine It's gonna take some time though I'm gonna make u mine And everybody's gonna know I'm gonna make u mine Someone to believe in I'm gonna make u mine Down In Sunny Side
Down in Sunny Side Got me a job Working the night shift Waiting to punch my card Fresh out of high school Barely eighteen Living alone in some rooming house Cold winds blow As the fog light fire down below Thru white clouds of steam Bells ring while engines roar Then the pills kick in And I'm lost in the machine Won't be down here for to long So let the lessons begin Innocence and youth both dwindle while the truth finds a way to win I need something I can believe in Haven't now for some time Something to hold on tight In the middle of the night |
Sadder Songs
I see her and the children by the station The people standing by all stop n stare A cardboard sign describs the situation It's not our fault but no one seems to care There is a place you go where dreams won't follow And every day becomes so hard for you A distant voice once strong now seems so hollow You do your best but still can not break thru Lately I can see that everyone isn't as equally strong Sometimes some of us can't sing along Then that voice says to me Your not the only one There are sadder songs And on this day I know that angels truly sing Gifts from God a holy harmony I heard them once when I was young and listening But now those voice are so far from me Lately I can see that everyone isn't as equally strong Sometimes some of us can't sing along Then that voice says to me Your not the only one There are sadder songs Sometimes I see The world does not revolve around me Old scars and skies of green and blue Tell me who I want to be And on this day I know that angels truly sing Gifts from God a holy harmony I heard them once when I was young and listening But now those voice are so far from me Lately I can see that everyone isn't as equally strong Sometimes some of us can't sing along Then that voice says to me Your not the only one There are sadder songs Make U Mine
When ever I'm with you I feel My heart race Can't believe that your dancing with me here In this place It feels like an old time hollywood musical And your looking so beautiful Here tonight The music plays softly as we Cross the floor And the light s seem to get a little brighter The they were before The way your looking at me just pulls me in To a place I've never been in my life I'm gonna make you mine It's gonna take some time though I'm gonna make you mine And everybody's gonna know I'm gonna make you mine Someone to believe in I'm gonna make you mine Now I've only known you a week or Maybe two And my friends say I haven't got a chance at Winning you I won't be alone like them this holiday What do they know anyway I'll take my chances with you I'm gonna make you mine It's gonna take some time though I'm gonna make you mine And everybody's gonna know I'm gonna make you mine Someone to believe in I'm gonna make you mine The Ealdorman
I'm the old man no one sees at the mall Blends in like a ninja a fly on the wall For so long I fought the big C I've walked this earth for half a century Here they come and where'd they go All the places and faces you used to know Everything changes in the blink of an eye I want to believe but the Devil don't lie There's a man And he stands of all that is good With a lot of little children By his side We learned to take care of those Who raised us right When the old man fades Let him carry his pride Sometimes I Feel like my Time has come and gone No one can see me I'm invisible Once I was but now I'm not An orphan's a father his family forgot I didn't know but now understand Hey time aint waiting for any man Cold wind blows old memories Covered by snow Home fire fades into the afterglow Winter's coming night darkens the land And the shadows in the field is the Ealdorman Tell me How was it when you were younger then me And everything tasted like the very first time Your wife was alive And the kids were still living home Memories of a young man Living in his prime Sometimes I Feel like my Time has come and gone No one can see me I'm invisible Just Another Love Song
Driving down the highway at dawn Broken hearted listening to love songs She's found another Lover Don't want to think about her being with him When every song they sing Say's how good it might have been Just another love son Playing with my heart Just another love song Tearing me apart And I can't turn the radio off I miss the way she used to kiss me Those loving arms Have left me cold and lonely How'd all the good between us Turn so bad Now she wants him And these songs are all I'll ever have Just another love son Playing with my heart Just another love song Tearing me apart And I can't turn the radio off Now I'm gonna play this one here just for you Dedicated to the one I love It's been climbing the charts for a week now And going strong Gonna make you feel so wrong Feel so wrong I'm Not Getting Older
An old friend passed away Just the other day Because he lived a long life Doesn't make it ok He was younger then me But now it's over I tried to tell my wife But she don't understand I said let's have some fun Maybe get out of hand She said we don't do that anymore I'm not getting older Just a little bit slower Don't mean that it's over And done yet I'm not getting older Don't want to surrender I still have young dreams I can't forget My hair's getting thinner And my waist is wide I was never good looking Unless your looking inside Behind this weak physique There lay's the danger You live n learn raise a family Now the kids all think That they know more then me And I hope n pray someday They will I'm not getting older Just a little bit slower Don't mean that it's over And done yet I'm not getting older Don't want to surrender I still have young dreams I can't forget I love my wife And the life we lead Thing's have never been better And she knows what I need And sometimes All that I want Is to be with her She just finished a book About middle aged sex And we're living it up You never know what is next And it's better then it ever was before I'm not getting older Just a little bit slower Don't mean that it's over And done yet I'm not getting older Don't want to surrender I still have young dreams I can't forget Dreams Come True
Ohoo I think about you all the time I see your Face I feel your body next to mine You are the only one My story ends with you Now I'm starting to believe that Dreams come true Yes they do Dreams come true Ohoo I'm not the man I used to be The world's the same But something's changed inside of me If you ever go away I'm coming after you Now I'm starting to believe that Dreams come true Yes they do Dreams come true Now I can see There's a forest for the trees When your with me in the garden Now I can see How the light begins with me Ever since my life Ever since my life With you |
