Most Commented Song/Lyric Poems (408)

Where have you been
Its been a long time
I remember back when
You gave me your time

The places we've been
The times that we've shared
It was not long ago
That you actually cared

Would you like to sit down
And take a load off your feet
Share an ice cream with me
You're so kind and so sweet

People change so why don't we
Let the past be the past
Its time we set ourselves free
Lifes short and goes by fast

Where have you been
You left with no trace
You made me so friggen mad
I wanted to squirt you with mace

Why did you do it
You just let everything go
You hurt me and knew it
Never heard a hi or hello

Is this what you need
To heal your heartbreak
To see me just bleed
To heal all your mistakes

I really think you should go
Don't want to do this again
Its time you realize your sorrow
And know that I'm not pretend!

Tomorrow is a promise
like so many I have heard.
Promises are easily broken
for they are only words.
Yesterday has vanished.
Tomorrow never comes.
I can't live my life
for memories
or waiting
on the dawn.

You ask "What of tomorrow?"
and Beloved, you've got to know
that I would to never leave you
beause I love you so.
But there've been so many others
who swore their undying need;
so I don't count upon your love.
Sure as I do, you'll leave.

"Tomorrow... Tomorrow,"
so many people say, "I'll love you still tomorrow,"
and then forget to love today.
But "Tomorrow, tomorrow..."
is but a promise,
cold and gray,
for all we have is memories
and the time we share today.

Theres rain falling down
outside.
I can hear the world crying
tonight.
Maybe its real.
Maybe its in my mind.
Maybe im lying
im alive.

Are we alive?
Are we dreaming?

I feel the sky screaming
inside.
Anger and thunder driving
the light.
It'll hit.
It'll crash.
They can worry
we will survive.

The Ice cracks, fire screams
the world, its feeling again
and we, oh we, were standing
tall and alive

we all die
we're alive
we are dreaming
we're alive

Wind cools the heat
a calm thats needed.
Hear the quiet
take a breath.
Be steady.
Be ready.

no peace
without fight
no life
without death
no reason
without emotion
no courage
without fear

we are dreaming alive

Tears rolling down
To my lips
Rolling down in silence
Rolling for years
And for years
For thos touch
And a dream of
Touching your
Love-Lock
For a while in dark
In desparate desire
Of staying with you
Alone
For years and
For those uncontrolled
Wind
For a tiny moment
That says
Wanna wear my arms...?

At just 13 I hit the open streets
Every stranger was the world I'd meet
My every sorrow in the things they cried
A wastrel wandering through a lullaby

State to state and town to town I'd go
From desert dawn to Colorado snow
Both oceans soothed away my salty aches
Thunder showing me the sound truth makes

Stormy beaches in California
Hurricane warnings in the Florida Keys
Everywhere I went the clouds were forming
And every storm I met was just like me
In my wastrel days

Starlit meadows and an Autumn sky
Lilac breezes as the clouds roll by
Life was the essence of a southern kiss
And a Dixie woman that I sometimes miss

Instrumental in my wastrel days
Were dreams of angels who'd correct my ways
But they never showed I'm uncorrected still
Wild at heart I wander where I will

Stormy beaches in California
Hurricane warnings in the Florida Keys
Everywhere I went the clouds were forming
And every storm I met was just like me
In my wastrel days

Cold Utah morning nineteen-Christmas time
And home is nothing but a dream of mine
I guess it's nothing but a good dream still
That I'd like to find but maybe I never will

Stormy beaches in California
Hurricane warnings in the Florida Keys
Everywhere I went the clouds were forming
And every storm I met was just like me
In my wastrel days

things just didnt work out the way we planned,
the world beat us with its better hand.
the deck was shuffled and passed around,
we were two of a kind, left in the river to drown.

now im all washed up broken and beaten down,
but im ready for a new table with the support of my full house.
im ready now, to win your game and cash out.
so have the bartender bring another round.

Verse I

We both made mistakes,
In love and in life.
You took the wrong husband,
I chose the wrong wife.
Our mis'ry dragged on,
Went on for so long.
Happiness always out of reach.
Our rights were all wrong.


Chorus

My sweet honey Bee,
So precious to me.
I looked for so long to find you,
Then finally you found me.
Now we are one,
The looking is done.
You'll walk hand in hand through life with me,
My sweet honey Bee.


Verse II

The road was so long,
To find our sweet love.
It seemed it would never end at all,
And then from above,
The sky opened up,
The sun filled our cup.
Now we'll have each other dear,
Things fin'ly look up.


Verse III

And now that we know,
We'll always have us.
Nothing will ever come between,
And life is a rush.
A reason to live,
A passion to give.
We will be legend you and I,
Long after we live.

Verse I

With leaves like wings in two-tone gloss
A stately, noble presense
You wouldn't think to look at her
She's under a death sentence
They want to cut her down you see
How can they be so heartless
Put in her place a parking lot
All in the name of progress


Chorus

That Ginko tree grows tall and strong
She's such a wond'rous sight to see
Been standin' there, who knows how long
Oh please don't cut that Ginko tree

(instrumental verse)

(repeat chorus)


Verse II

If parking lot they need to build
Why can't they build around her
One less parking spot won't hurt
Just leave her as they found her
She'll shade the cars in summertime
Beneath her lovely bower
When autumn brings the changing leaves
She'll form a golden tower

(repeat chorus)

Verse I

Was doin' good, my eagle flyin' high,
Yeah, doin' good, my eagle flew so high,
Then all at once that well it just ran dry.


Chorus

Can't find no work now, don't know what to do,
There ain't no work, what am I s'posed to do?
Just one more fool to sing these jobless blues.


Verse II

My unemployment lasted for a while,
Yeah, unemployment saved me for a while,
Now it's all gone an' bills are pilin' high.


Verse III

Not on the street but guess it won't be long,
Not homeless yet but can't be very long,
Til landlord say it's time for movin on.


Verse IV

Worked all my life, ain't never been this way,
I've worked so hard, how could it be this way?
With nothin' left to keep the wolves at bay.

Verse I

Thought we'd be together and nevermore to part.
I put aside my pride, then gave to her my heart.
Thought she was my angel, sent down from up above.
(She said) I love ya baby, but it's not that kind of love.


Chorus

What kind of love could it be?
Where she don't want to love only me?
I never thought I'd be the fool,
Home with a broken heart, wond'rin',
What kind of love could it be?


Verse II

So I found another, we dated for a while.
This girl had a lot of class, had a lot of style.
Seemed to be the perfect fit, I'd been dreamin' of.
(She said) I love ya baby, but it's not that kind of love.


Verse III

Listen to me baby and listen to me well.
Seen a lot of women, way more than I can tell.
I may seem like the hand, that fits your velvet glove,
(And I) love ya baby, but it's not that kind of love.


Final Chorus

What kind of love could it be?
I'd tell ya' girl but you'd never see.
Now you don't wanna' be the one,
Home with a broken heart, wond'rin',
What kind of love could it be?
