I Wonder
A whisperin' wind is blowin',across the fields and through the trees
As I sit here in the dark,lost in nostalgic memories
I stare out this dusty window,down upon this sleeping town
While a full moon glows and shimmers,casting shadows on the ground
Nightengales they come singing,oh how they soothe my soul
Sometimes they make me cry,still I hate to hear them go
As they sing their sweet songs,my thoughts turn to you
I smile and I wonder if your thinking of me too
And I wonder...if you wonder...about me...like I wonder 'bout you
I step out on the porch,feel the night air on my skin
I sit down on the steps,the nightengales sing again
I look up at the stars,shining bright and true
I smile and I wonder if your looking at them too
And I wonder...if you wonder...about me...like I wonder 'bout you
I walk back in the house,set the chain and look the door
I step into my bedroom,and slowly pace the floor
Love is just a myth,someone said to me
But because of you,I will always believe
The nightengales have flown away,as I close my eyes to sleep
I smile and I wonder if you'll dream about me
And I wonder...if you wonder...about me...like I wonder 'bout you
And I wonder...if you wonder...about me...like I wonder 'bout you
As I sit here in the dark,lost in nostalgic memories
I stare out this dusty window,down upon this sleeping town
While a full moon glows and shimmers,casting shadows on the ground
Nightengales they come singing,oh how they soothe my soul
Sometimes they make me cry,still I hate to hear them go
As they sing their sweet songs,my thoughts turn to you
I smile and I wonder if your thinking of me too
And I wonder...if you wonder...about me...like I wonder 'bout you
I step out on the porch,feel the night air on my skin
I sit down on the steps,the nightengales sing again
I look up at the stars,shining bright and true
I smile and I wonder if your looking at them too
And I wonder...if you wonder...about me...like I wonder 'bout you
I walk back in the house,set the chain and look the door
I step into my bedroom,and slowly pace the floor
Love is just a myth,someone said to me
But because of you,I will always believe
The nightengales have flown away,as I close my eyes to sleep
I smile and I wonder if you'll dream about me
And I wonder...if you wonder...about me...like I wonder 'bout you
And I wonder...if you wonder...about me...like I wonder 'bout you

About this poem:
This is a song I wrote about a woman who I am no longer in a physical relationship with,but who was my lover and is now my best friend.We were living a very risky life together and drug addiction tore us apart.Our love for one another wasn't enough to fight off addiction,so I made the descision to part in order to survive.We went our seperate ways and both of us have cleaned up(this july I will be clean 6 years)In our seperation we remained friends and part of one anothers support group.It's easy to turn away from a bad relationship and start over with someone new,but I have learned what the true meaning of unconditional love really is.It means loving someone enough to let them go and as cliched as that sounds it is true.This song is about knowing that you still have a connection,that the love is still there even though your seperated by miles and circumstances.To Catch Her Fall
I slipped in through her open window
she watched as I shook off the cold,
threw back her blanket,said come hold me.
Then whispered please don't let me go
She say's heaven waits for her children
She's not ready to go at all
Sometimes I think she's an angel
And I was lucky enough to catch her fall
And as she lay there spread before me,
an invitation in her smile.
We tremble as we come together,
she whispers stay with me awhile.
She say's heaven waits for her children
She's not ready to go at all
Sometimes I think she's an angel
And I was lucky enough to catch her fall
We wake to the dawning of a new day,
she smiles as she let's me go.
I slip out through her open window,
to wrap myself up in the cold.
She say's heaven waits for her children
She's not ready to go at all
Sometimes I think she's an angel
And I was lucky enough to catch her fall...
And I was lucky enough to catch her fall
And I was lucky enough to catch her fall
she watched as I shook off the cold,
threw back her blanket,said come hold me.
Then whispered please don't let me go
She say's heaven waits for her children
She's not ready to go at all
Sometimes I think she's an angel
And I was lucky enough to catch her fall
And as she lay there spread before me,
an invitation in her smile.
We tremble as we come together,
she whispers stay with me awhile.
She say's heaven waits for her children
She's not ready to go at all
Sometimes I think she's an angel
And I was lucky enough to catch her fall
We wake to the dawning of a new day,
she smiles as she let's me go.
I slip out through her open window,
to wrap myself up in the cold.
She say's heaven waits for her children
She's not ready to go at all
Sometimes I think she's an angel
And I was lucky enough to catch her fall...
And I was lucky enough to catch her fall
And I was lucky enough to catch her fall

About this poem:
Sometimes love can feel heavenlySet 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
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

Post CommentSweet 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.

Post CommentNo Matter How Much Whiskey I Drink
And it's another friday night on the lonely side of town.
Where they roll up the streets after the sun goes down.
I was sittin' in my favorite bar just tryin' to drink you
off my mind.
When I heard George Jones singin' a sad song and I knew,
I was waisting my time.
'Cause no matter how much whiskey I drink
While chain smokin' cigarettes
All the one night stands and big weekend plans
Haven't helped me forget you yet.
And it's another sunday mornin' wakin' up,next to a stranger.
I'm just tryin' to find my keys,and tryin' to remember her name.
But your name's the only one that's always on my mind.
And I know by tonight i'll be tryin' to drink away this pain,
lord nuthin' will change.
'Cause no matter how much whiskey I drink
While chain smokin' cigarettes
All the one night stands and big weekend plans
Haven't helped me forget you yet.
Lord knows i've tried to get over you,but then i'm back
in the heartache again.
So caught up in the denial and the lies,of this bottle
that i'm drowning in.......
And it's another monday mornin' wakin' up with a hangover
and heartache.
Tryin' to make it through the day,is the hardest thing to do.
Because at five o'clock I know,i'll be sitting at that bar.
Lost in a bottle,and hiding from the truth, but it's no use.
'Cause no matter how much whiskey I drink
While chain smokin' cigarettes
All the one night stands and big weekend plans
Haven't helped me forget you yet.
No matter how much whiskey I drink
No matter how much whiskey I drink
No matter how much whiskey I drink....
hasn't helped me forget you yet.
Where they roll up the streets after the sun goes down.

About this poem:
Sometimes no matter how hard we try, forgetting that certain someone is easier said than done.Your Ghost
Six O'clock in the mornin',I haven't stopped thinkin''bout you yet.
Because this empty whiskey bottle by my head couldn't help me to
forget.Your lipstick stained cigarettes still in the ashtray by the bed,unleash my tear stained memories of you to spin around in my head.
I put my feet down on the floor,where you stood and told me goodbye.
And I just hang my head in confusion,I don't know if I should laugh or
if I should cry.
'Cause baby when you walked out that door,
I told myself i'd be ok.
But that was all before I started,
wakin' up with your ghost everyday.
I drink my cup of coffee in the kitchen every mornin',and i'll see your empty chair right there and the tears they always start without
warning.Your old pair of flip flops,still sit by the backdoor.And I
don't know why I leave them there,I know you won't be back to wear
them no more.The sand dollars we found in Destin,collect dust up on
the mantle,and i've tried to take them down a thousand times but there
just so hard to handle.
'Cause baby when you walked out that door,
I told myself i'd be ok.
But that was all before I started,
wakin up with your ghost everyday.
I wonder what i'll do (tell me what am I gonna do)
Now that your gone.
Lord it's been so hard to move on.
All the flowers that you planted,over time have died away.To see them
only reminds me of the love that I could not save.I lay down in our
bed,where you used to hold me tight.I put that bottle to my lips and
pray I don't have another sleepless night.I turn out all the lights
and I wish your ghost away,but I know when tomorrow comes you'll be
here to haunt me one more day.
'Cause baby when you walked out that door,
I told myself i'd be ok.
But that was all before I started,
wakin' up with your ghost everyday.
That was all before I started wakin up with your ghost everyday.
Because this empty whiskey bottle by my head couldn't help me to
forget.Your lipstick stained cigarettes still in the ashtray by the bed,unleash my tear stained memories of you to spin around in my head.
I put my feet down on the floor,where you stood and told me goodbye.
And I just hang my head in confusion,I don't know if I should laugh or
if I should cry.

About this poem:
Lost Love Can Haunt Us All.Never Forget Part 1
He came into the bar one thursday,he never told me his name.
But I asked what'll it be,he said whiskey,give me two of the same.
One for me and one for my brothers,who were left behind.
He said God only knows why I made it home alive,
I guess it wasn't my time.
Well he sat for awhile and nursed his drink,then he looked
me in the eye's.
Said son whadda ya know about the cost of freedom and the
will to survive and then he said.....
I left my blood and my brothers in a country far away.
And it's because of their sacrifice were sittin' here today.
So here's a toast to my brothers who laid down their lives.
Who left behind tearful mothers,their children and their wives.
So raise a glass to your freedom and how they died for you and me.
Never forget the price they paid because freedom....
is never really free.
He lit a cigarette and his hand started shaking,he said
shrapnel from '69.
He said the fire fight lasted through the night,and he almost
lost his mind.
Said I had a brother who died in Korea,and that was why I
joined the Corps.
He said man I was full of anger,I was so young,I wanted to
settle the score.
He said he did three tours and finally had enough,but back in the world he felt so alone.
Said he couldn't understand how a jungle in Vietnam could
somehow feel like home,and then he said....
I left my blood and my brothers in a country far away.
And it's because of their sacrifice were sittin here today.
So here's a toast to my brothers who laid down their lives.
Who left behind tearful mothers,their children and their wives.
So raise your glass to your freedom and how they died for you and me.

About this poem:
This song is dedicated to the men and women of our armed forces who have served in times of war past and present.To the POW's and those still MIA.To those who made the ultimate sacrifice with their lives.And to their families who wait and pray for their return.Never Forget Part 2
He got off his barstool and he walked to the jukebox,and he
dropped a quarter in.
He played a song from 1968,an he waited for it to end.
He said that's the same song that I heard the day they sent
us over their.
Man we were young and full of pride,but inside we were scared.
'Cause all I had were my brothers and all they had was me.
Side by side we fought and so many died,man the horror's we
did see.
We were tired and hungry,and scared as hell but we never gave
up the fight.
That's why i'm hear to raise my glass and honor them tonight.
And then he said...

Never forget the price they paid because freedom...
Is never really free.
Well a few weeks passed,he didn't come back in,and I figured
he'd moved away.
Then I saw his picture in the paper,they had his funeral today.
Said he wore his dress blues,there was an honor guard,they gave the flag to his wife.
Well he never told me his name but i'll say a prayer for that Marine
who shared with me his life.
And i'll make a toast to his brothers who laid down their lives.
Who left behind tearful mothers,their children and their wives.
And i'll raise a glass to my freedom and how they died for you
and me.
And i'll never forget that old devil dog who said freedom....
is never really free.

These wall are closing....as I lie alone here in our bed.
With the sad memories of you running through my head.
And I try not to cry,but I just can't take the pain.
When these walls start closing in I softly call your name.
Yesterday is gone and so are all our dreams.
The silence in this empty house,makes me wanna scream.
Read the letter that you left, but you gave no reason why.
When these walls start closing in I feel like I could die.
And I don't know if i'll ever get over you,but I know,I will
get by.
And I don't think,I could ever stop loving you,no I couldn't,
even if I tried.
'Cause when these walls start closing in,think i'll drink myself to sleep.
And as I softly call your name,pray the lord your soul to keep.
I see all our old friends they ask me how i'm doing.
I tell em ok but who am I fooling.
I feel just like a fool drowning in my misery.
When these walls start closing in your ghost won't set me free
And I don't know if i'll ever get over you,but I know,I will
get by.
And I don't think I could ever stop loving you,no I couldn't,
even if I tried.
So when these walls start closing in,think i'll drink myself to
sleep.
And as I softly call your name,pray the lord your soul to keep.
It's been a long time,so much has changed.
Sometimes I wake up in the night,calling out your name.
Never in my life have I ever felt so alone.
When these walls start closing in this house just ain't a home.
And I don't know if i'll ever get over you,but I know,I will
get by.
And I don't think I could ever stop loving you,no I couldn't,
even if I tried.
So when these walls start closing in,think i'll drink myself to
sleep.
And as I softly call your name,pray the lord your soul to keep.
With the sad memories of you running through my head.
And I try not to cry,but I just can't take the pain.
When these walls start closing in I softly call your name.
Yesterday is gone and so are all our dreams.
The silence in this empty house,makes me wanna scream.
Read the letter that you left, but you gave no reason why.
When these walls start closing in I feel like I could die.
And I don't know if i'll ever get over you,but I know,I will
get by.
And I don't think,I could ever stop loving you,no I couldn't,
even if I tried.
'Cause when these walls start closing in,think i'll drink myself to sleep.
And as I softly call your name,pray the lord your soul to keep.
I see all our old friends they ask me how i'm doing.
I tell em ok but who am I fooling.
I feel just like a fool drowning in my misery.
When these walls start closing in your ghost won't set me free
And I don't know if i'll ever get over you,but I know,I will
get by.
And I don't think I could ever stop loving you,no I couldn't,
even if I tried.
So when these walls start closing in,think i'll drink myself to
sleep.
And as I softly call your name,pray the lord your soul to keep.
It's been a long time,so much has changed.
Sometimes I wake up in the night,calling out your name.
Never in my life have I ever felt so alone.
When these walls start closing in this house just ain't a home.
And I don't know if i'll ever get over you,but I know,I will
get by.
And I don't think I could ever stop loving you,no I couldn't,
even if I tried.
So when these walls start closing in,think i'll drink myself to
sleep.
And as I softly call your name,pray the lord your soul to keep.

About this poem:
I wrote this song in 2007, a few months after my Mom passed away from cancer.I always let the melody of what i'm playing and the emotion I feel from it lead me into the song that i'm writing.I hardly ever write lyrics down and 95% of what I write just flows out of me.For this song I tried to imagine how my Dad felt after losing his wife and best friend of 36 years.You and Me
You are stuck in my heart
and we can go anywhere
whatever the reason you are
so stuck in my heart
like counting a million stars
for that many reasons you are
and we can go anywhere
whatever the reason you are
so stuck in my heart
like counting a million stars
for that many reasons you are
