Oh, darling

Darlin’ what did I do to deserve this?
Darlin’ what did I do?
I used to laugh and cry a little more
when you were someone new.
But now I spend my days in alleyways
followin’ shadows o’ you.
And when I find a little piece of you
in someone else’s smile,
pretty soon I’m sittin’ on that bench
with you just killin’ time.
So tell me darlin’
what did I do to deserve this?
darlin' what did I do?
Oh darlin’ what did I do?
when I said I loved you?
I used to find this comforting
now I got things to do.
Guess I’m guided by convenience
I shoulda thought this through.
And the tales I heard when I was young
all did warn me good,
still I dug myself right into this
just like I knew I could.
Seems like I’m ankle deep in trend…

Letting go
04:19
|

|
Rain on my window
trickle down –
capture the light of
daybreak in out of
dead-end dreams
sleep unaware it’s over.
Sunrise,
shadows fall
bar them all –
dream once more.
They walkin’ on by
They walkin' on by
and wondering why?
Hardest part I know
is letting go.
When you see her down -
just say hello.
Rhythms
of street life
hammer home
loving goodnights - gone.
Bottled emotions
stream down cheeks
salty relief – exploding.
They walkin' on by
They walkin' on by
They walkin' on by
and wondering why.

Jessy
02:57

|

|
Tearing apart her hotel
looking for somethin’ blue.
Jessy what y’ lost what y’ lost now?
Tearing apart her old life
breathing in highway fumes
Jessy what y’ lost what y’ lost now?
Ripping apart her lovers
Jessy what y’ lost what y’ lost now?
Lookin’ for someone new.
Jessy where y’ goin’ now?
Jessy where y' goin' now?
Jessy, where y' goin?
won’t you write me when you get there?
Drivin’ under the moonlight
breathing in cold night air.
Singin’ along to Elvis
fingers runnin’ through her hair.
Jessy are y’ lost are y’ lost now?

The lady of the night
03:09
|
|
||
|
The colours slowly slip away -
rest for another day.
The lady of the night will come
and lay her hand upon
the shoulders of the land – so warm
sprinkle water for the owls who come
to watch over the child who sleeps – alone for now.
The lady of the night will come – and lay her hand upon
The lady of the night will come – and lay her hand upon
The lady of the night will come.

Memo

You said that you were leaving on an outbound train
and that you loved me all the same.
You said that you believed me up on old easy street
when we were dancing to the beat.
You said that you’d forgive me for not building a dream
when to you a dream meant everything.
I said that I’d stand by you until all this passed
seems good intentions don’t always last.
But it’s all good you know I understand no one really knows
just where or how their passion flows.
Seems that a promise sometimes aint everythin’
still I ain’t gonna hold it in.
You wrote a letter – five years had passed.
and you put down all the thoughts of us that last.
and it got me thinkin’ – how typically you.
I heard somewhere you’re livin’ up on old easy street.
I Hope you’re dancing to the beat.
