Summer's Over

Summer's over
the light fades.
I'm alone
little's changed.
Someday I'll look back,
say that life was mine.
Should I have better chosen
and not passed it off to time?
Summer's over
the light fades.
It's moving so quickly
it will never be the same.

Early Morning

early mornings
late evenings
long the seasons
bore alone
dance shadows quick
flicker bright then
shifting wind
you will see
you will see
mountains made
valleys carved
empty promises
worn away
one day says he
come to love thee
then fully
you will see
you will see
light at sunrise
golden skylines
life in every breath
there in

If you were coming in the fall
By Emily Dickinson
If you were coming in the fall,
I'd brush the summer by
With half a smile and half a spurn,
As housewives do a fly.
If I could see you in a year,
I'd wind the months in balls,
And put them each in separate drawers,
Until their time befalls.
If only centuries delayed,
I'd count them on my hand,
Subtracting till my fingers dropped
Into Van Dieman's land.
If certain, when this life was out,
That yours and mine should be,
I'd toss it yonder like a rind,
And taste eternity.
But now, all ignorant of the length
Of time's uncertain wing,
It goads me, like the goblin bee,
That will not state its sting.

Little Davey Blue
Don't sleep the night through
Heard you met a man
Eyes color of the sky
Eyes color of the sky
Did he teach you how to love
We know you like to fly
He made you glow like sunshine
Now you watch the rain and cry
Why you watch the rain and cry
Why you always sad
Little Davey Blue
Always looking down
That's how the world will work on you
How the world will work on you
She says I wish it weren't so hard
To meet a loyal man
I give it all for nothing
And they never come back
Why they never come back
Little Davey Blue
You know that just ain't true
We heard you tell the sparrow
You might fly away real soon
You might fly away real soon
Now a man don't want no trouble
A man don't want no toss
A real man wants a woman
to love him deep and long
Love him deep and long
Little Davey Blue
She don't sleep the night through
We heard you met a man
Eyes color of the sky
Eyes color of the sky

Log on the Fire

Put a log on the fire friend
I put a log on the fire for you
Close my eyes in my mind you are with me
You will hold me the whole night through
I know you got a girl and you love her
I hate to be the one to interfere
But if you feel for me as I do for you
Just know I am waiting
I put a log on the fire friend
I put a log on the fire for you
I can't wait forever but just for tonight
I will dream our love will come true.

Sheepish
03:07
|

|
It's raining again I've got wet wool
Blistered feet from my rubber soul
The heaven's cry I wipe my eyes
I try .... I try
Sticks of butter blocks of cheese
that's what I eat on sad days like these
where the mood don't fit anything but grey
where the phone lays silent as I chew the pain
GO AWAY SAD FEELING GO AWAY
GO AWAY SAD FEELING GO AWAY
When the sun comes out I will wear for it a dress
with sandal bare toes plans to look my best
I will bathe my face in the warmth of light
and be reminded it's all going to be alright
Cool watermelon cones of ice cream
that is what I eat on bright days like these
where the mood don't fit any of my blue
where I can forget I ever met you
COME AGAIN SWEET LOVING COME AGAIN
COME AGAIN SWEET LOVING COME AGAIN
COME AGAIN SWEET LOVING COME AGAIN
COME AGAIN SWEET LOVING COME

Let Love Mend
02:09
|
|||
|
Take my heart. Treat it well.
Hold me tight under our spell.
Wipe the tears. Caress my hand.
Talk me through what I don't understand.
These times of doubt. These days of fear.
These hours I wait, where little feels clear.
Kiss me soft. Help me forget.
What can't be fixed, O let love mend.
