Making it rhyme
And I’m taking my time
and I’ll be walking out
when I go
I’ll be better tonight
and I won’t feel a fright
and I won’t run
or I won’t go
So don’t hurry me no don’t worry me about it
A lot just came to light
and I may be here all night
and if I see you now this time
well i dunno
But either way it’s alright
although you’re a sight
for my eyes 'til next time
I may just hold
So don’t hurry me no don’t worry me about it
On this road I find
My self Babe
but I’m not blind
So I’ll be taking my time
making the best of my rhymes
and if you do too then I’ll know
And when my world is bright
from shining up some light
I’ll sing my way right
through your soul
like a river flow.

there in spirit

oh the red light of the setting sun
brings back to memory of all the ones
who have viewed my life through
their loving eyes
and i hold my head high and i wont cry
i'm going back down the place
i was born
i'll tune in to the love that kept me warm
i'm far away from the arms of the only one
i love or at least that's what you told me
i was
still the west it can be so unkind
burn the days and nights so cold
when you're on your own
so i dream of some things
that you can't buy
and they hold me while i sleep
through the night
and i'm going back down the place
i was born
i'll tune in to the love that kept me warm
hey i'm far away from the arms of the only one
i love or at least that's what ya told me
i was
now on this road ya say ya watch every move
and i see you take your time
still when the rhythm of your soul tries to escape your mind
find in your heart a song to impart about the love you've been shown
then you see you will never be all alone
hey and if you don't catch the ferry
and i don't make the train
i'll see you in
my dreams

i will walk in love
while i do
what i came
here to do
and i'll look with hope
at your situation
although i'm not
in your congregation
ah, and you know
who you are
and you know what
in time you'll see
when you're not
afraid of anything
you will have
nothing to fear
and now that i recall
i can be still inside
i know i'll find
meaning, the rhythm, and
that rhyme ah, and
i know who i am
and you know what
in my dreams i see
when i'm not
afraid of anything
i have nothing to fear
and when we have love
we have
everything we need
don't receive it
when they tell you
you can't believe
in your love
and i will walk in love
while i do
what i came
here to do
and i'll look
with hope at
your situation
although we're not
in a conversation
ah, but we know
who we are
and we know
when we're free
it means that
we're not afraid of
anything and we will
have nothing
to fear

gone on my way
so blue and low
i've seen the dark of night
and i;ve kept up with the ones i owe
oh take another breath and hold onto my soul
i know i know i can make it last
always
as i walk away
sway to and fro
i sing a ring of light
'm ever waltzing where i go
chime bells in my mind
hey reminds me i know
i know i know
i can make it last
always
despair has not been
one of my big affairs
blue disease
can't get to me
while there's still
time to dance and care
far away my dreams
seem somewhere
out there but still
i;ll dance and play
and sing for
always

i see the line you toe and
see love you cannot know and
what a broken life you sew when
all tha's on is a radio band
and i see you care more
than their eyes can see
did you give all your gold away
still you know that you can be ok
i know you said you'r coming up
and when you wake up they'll take you back
look away oh aye don't take my soul
away away you say
what a wound , but it's not killing right kid ?
it's been so long but now it's barely open
she can't tell, don't give it away just say
bah bah bah bah bah bah bom-bahway
don't waste tears on a photograph
ya see i've been here for a long time

miss intentions

you sing your ballad
and you say you love me
all your cares and
your worries of someday
are taking all your time
and wondering if you can
match up to what you're
seeing in your own mi ih ih ihhnnd
what do you think you're doing
with your mind
say what are you doing
with your mind
what are you doing nah nah nah
feeling trapped until
you graduate to lonely
since ya stopped riding with the one
calling you the only
one by one you comb
through the lines you told me
wondering what you'd do
if you owned me
bombadaboombada
can you tell me
what are you
doing to your mind
bu bah bah bah bah da dodum
i keep a safe long distance
from all your misintentions
i keep my mind on missions
not waiting on you to call
and i dont wanawanawana listen to you
and i don't wana want you
and i don't wana run until you can me
how long until you ask me
'what are you doing to my mind ????????'

i have to laugh
to keep from
crying out loud
can't be changing
out my face
and tearing up my smile
when it all starts feeling
like i'm going for a ride
the wrong way
yeah yeah yeah
do what ya do
just keep the motor running
so you can get away
it's your life
go do what you like
do what you like
do what you like
are you wondering again ?
now i can see it clearly
no more bringing me down
just smile and save my face
and no more merry-go-round
when it all starts feeling
like ya going for a ride
the wrong way ay ay ayy
do what you do
just keep the motor running
so you can get away
it's your life
go do what you like
do what you like
do what you like
don't let the traces of the gloomy
turn your life into a movie
when you know it doesn't have to be
can the drama duty
don't even tell your sister judy
all about it
all about it
what you see
you don't have to sacrifice
beautiful silence inside
for their paradise of strife oh no
now enter houdini
i hear he's hanging around
ya barely think ya safe
but still ya go another mile
then it all starts seeming like
ya taken for a ride
the long way ay ay ayyyy
do what ya do
just keep the motor running
so you can get away
