ON THE LAWN AT DAWN~a tale of woe by ~free cee

WHILST WALKING WHEN THE SOUTHERN WIND CHANGES ITS DIRECTION
AND BECOMES A NOR-EASTER SUCH AS A FESTERING INFECTION
I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO GO WHERE MY WORN OUT SHOES WILL TAKE ME
UNTIL I REACH FAR ENOUGH SOUTH FOR THE SATANIC SUN TO BAKE ME
SO PEOPLE SEE ME WALKING AND INQUIRE WHY I DO NOT DRIVE A CAR
AND I TELL THEM "BECAUSE WERE I TO HAVE A CAR I'D DRINK AFTER LEAVING A BAR"

PANAMA PETE, THE OWNER OF A BAR ON EIGHTH AVENUE, KNOWS VODKA IS WHAT I DRINK
AND PRECISELY HOW MANY SHOTS I NEED TO NO LONGER THINK
SINCE DRINKING AT EIGHT A.M ONLY LEADS TO TROUBLE WITH THE LADIES OR THE LAW
AND PLEASE DON'T ASSUME THAT ALOCOHOL IS MY ONLY FLAW
SO I LEAVE OLD PETE WITH HIS PANAMA HAT'S BRIM WELL WORN
AND MORE OFTEN THAN NOT WAKE UP UPON SOME STRANGER'S LAWN
HOW I GOT THERE AND WHY ARE QUERIES I AM INDIFFERENT TO
AND TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, I AM NOTHING AT ALL LIKE YOU
YOU PROBABLY HAVE LOVED ONES WHO WOULD CARE WHEN AND IF YOU DIE
I, HOWEVER, COULD EXPIRE AND NOT A SOUL ON EARTH WOULD CRY
NO MOANS, NO GROANS NOR TEARS WOULD BE TO SHED
FOR ONLY PANAMA PETE WILL MISS ME WHEN I AM DEAD
OTHER PEOPLE I'VE CHEATED WILL CARE NOT BECAUSE THEY DESPISE ME
AND NO TUXEDO, THREE PIECE SUIT OR PIN-STRIPES CAN DISGUISE ME
I AM THAT WHICH I AM DUE TO A DETRIMENTAL MIND
AND PEOPLE CAN TELL WHAT I AM EVEN IF THEY'RE BLIND
SO I RISE ON THAT STRANGER'S LAWN AND MUST KEEP ON THE READY TO RUN
WHILE WALKING AGAINST THE WICKED WIND AND THE SORDID SUN

I AM A WALKING AND TALKING ENIGMA, RIDDLE AND/OR PUN
AND WILL BE SO UNTIL THIS FARCE OF A LIFE IS MERCIFULLY DONE
BECAUSE I WAS BORN BY WINNERS BUT BIRTHED TO LOSE
AND DAMN I SURE COULD USE A NEW PAIR OF SHOES

Painful Repetition

My happiness you say is important to you
...important to you...important to you

This is not reflected in the things that you do
.....things that you do......things that you do

Your repeated reactions are always the same
...always the same...........always the same

Bad patterns of behaviour, again and again
......again and again.....again and again

The wounds you inflict don't have time to heal
...have time to heal.....have time to heal

You think that my pain isn't quite real
......isn't quite real..isn't quite real

Sorry, the band aid you choose to apply
........Choose to apply.......Choose to apply

When the tears flow and once more I cry
..Once more I cry.....Once more I cry

I know I come over as being quite tough
..being quite tough.......being quite tough

But now I am saying
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

Set Me Free

I can't believe what I am seeing
Ego burned into my eyes
You say that love is in the making
All I hear is a bevy of lies
A twist of shadows hidden in truth
A host of apathy as your proof
Bring me to the slaughter house
I've begged you so many times
Taste the bitterness inside me
Still you continue to commit the crime

Can you ever forgive me
For the things you've done
A fistful of anger
To block out the sun
Blind my eyes so I can't see
Make me deaf and set me free

"It'll kill the core" I know you've said
"If one leaves the rest are dead"
Now all I hear are fake transmissions
And all I see are new acquisitions
Falling in place like a pawn on a board
Picking up parts that were already scored

Can you ever forgive me
For the things you've done
A fistful of anger
To block out the sun
Blind my eyes so I can't see
Make me deaf and set me free

Trembling Fingers

With trembling fingers,
I reach out to you.
Your eyes closed in peace,
Your breathing: my release.

I hold back,
Not wishing to wake you,
My mind fills with memories,
Of our life and our tendencies.

I will miss you my love.
You are my soul.
As I whisper goodbye,
Holding back a deep sigh.

You met him last month,
You said in September.
I think of your story,
Told strong with no worry.

'I love him' you said,
'and you no more'.
'Leave by December,
Don't cry on the ember.'

One final kiss on your cheek,
Is all I desire.
To say goodbye to you dear,
Would fill me with fear.

"Understanding"

Accuse the right of being wrong
Time possess all that I try to embrace
Overcoming a natural fear is something I must face
Time is not a friend to me
Nor could I call it foe
unraveling from being self bound
I'm as close to myself as the condensation on my window
I stare into the eyes of my friends
N that reflection I c my true face
Lost my senses of common direction those who no wonder y my mind is in space
As my heart emotionally leaves my body
I become love within the ground
Dark as my humor may seem
How can you seek for something that has ben found?
Acknowledging and accepting the truth is a step closer to self closure
All of me that I've come to c I've written and kept in a folder
My emotions blaze with anger
My love tends to forgive
Confusion on how I shud feel is something I must rid
Yet n still I wonder how I pull myself together n keep my composure
Its a marvel how god has kept me strong till this hardship is over
Like I said before time possess all that I try to embrace
Maneuvering thru obstacles I felt alone but I'm one with god in my faith.

Sweet Lilah

She wakes up every morning with a smile,oh how she wears her mask so well.
She'll tell me stories about her life,but their are some she never will tell.
She drinks a cup of coffee and stares out the window,tells me how she came here at sixteen.
She smiles and say's she was so young and so naive,how she fell for the Hollywood dream.
Oh Lilah,Sweet Lilah,she cries and say's she's an angel with dirty wings.
Oh Lilah,Sweet Lilah,say's she's cried enough tears to wash them clean.
She tells me 'bout the time when she was a dancer down on the strip, say's if i'd ever saw her i'd never forget her.
She say's she's only been in love,once in her life,and that was with the pills that made her feel better.
And she talks about nights,workin the streets down on the boulevard,she say's the money never lasts as long as the scars.
Workin by the hour in hotel rooms down on sunset,and in the mornin' she'd drink away her shame in the bars.
Oh Lilah,Sweet Lilah,she cries and say's she's an angel with dirty wings.
Oh Lilah,Sweet Lilah,say's she's cried enough tears to wash them clean.
She tells me about the time she woke up alone in the hospital,say's they had her tied down to the bed.
Seems her landlord found her in her bathroom with a needle in her arm,she say's she's lucky she's not dead.
She shows me a picture,say's it's her daughter,she lives in Portland,starts to cry and say's they took her away.
She lights a cigarette and say's that was no life for a child, she's grown now, she'll see her some day.
Oh Lilah,Sweet Lilah,she cries and say's she's an angel with dirty wings.
Oh Lilah,Sweet Lilah,say's she's cried enough tears to wash them clean.
She tells me about the day she walked away, how she left that life behind,say's she didn't know what she would do.
She got a job workin' as a waitress on Hollywood and Vine and at night she went back to school.
Now she works as a counselor out on those streets every night,she's trying to help so many young girls.
So many of them say their thankful for the day they met Sweet Lilah,they say how much she's changed their world.
Oh Lilah,Sweet Lilah,she cries and say's she's an angel with dirty wings.
Oh Lilah,Sweet Lilah,Say's she's cried enough tears to wash them clean.
I saw Lilah the other day,said she'd been to the doctor,she said he told her some bad news.
She just shook her head and said the life she'd lead had come back to haunt her,she smiled and said there's nothing they can do.
She started packing a bag,she started to cry,said i'm goin' to Portland,maybe I can make it there by tonight.
She holds up that picture of her ltiile girl and say's,i've done so much wrong at least I did one thing right.
Oh Lilah,Sweet Lilah,she cries and say's she's an angel with dirty wings.
Oh Lilah,Sweet Lilah,say's she's cried enough tears to wash them clean.

it's time
to say goodbye to the world
it's time
to find happinees
wich i couldnot find it

maybe it's there
in the other life
sorry my friends
but it's time
to say goodbye to the world

Twilight Eyes

Twilight eyes about to go to sleep
pull your curtains on the world of light
who knows the secrets that you keep
are they blue or are they simply white

Twilight eyes soft and ever blue
hold the images of times best forgotten
can you sleep the whole night through
forget the past it was rotten

Once you walked the shady street
where a hundred faces only misused you
made you cold from head to feet
took the white and made it dark blue

It seems only God truly forgives
human nature may not always bend
we all need one who lets us live
with our soul made white not blue

How You Used To Taste

Today .. You've looked my way
And I swear , that moment
healed my pain
But still , you're not mine to have

Today ..we walked and talked
like the old days
We've shared a laugh
Oh how I miss you deap inside

But I can't hold you , you're not mine
I can't cry on your shoulder
Can't reach your face
Or have a kiss , to remember
How you used to taste
Can't get you out of my mind
All the dreams , all the nights
No one toke your place
Guess , no one will ever do
You keep on gettin' over me
And I keep on fallin' for you ..

Ten Depressions

Been through ten depressions,
Overcame with One,
You!

You,
Picked me up,
Soothed the pain,
Stood by me,
Through thick and thin.

Backed me up,
Said i was right,
Gave me strength,
To walk on by.

Made me laugh,
Made me cry,
Made me long,
Made me high!

A glow in the dark,
A shadow with me,
A glimmer of hope,
A wind within me.

All came crashing,
One fine dawn,
Tone was the problem,
Couldn’t convince you at all.

Am back to square one,
Ten depressions,
Now, you Add,
One to All.
