Hillside

I walk with myself to the Hillside
dreaming of love, and I don't mind.
Dreamers and lovers all start the same way.
I just don't know what to say.
Thinking of you as another,
friend, you were my lover.
All of the memories they fade into blue,
what will become of you?
What will become of you?
For I am broken, but I am strong
and I have been chosen to move along.
But still I feel in the depths of my heart,
you were the greatest counterpart
to me.

Stay
03:02
|
|||
|
Grab a dream,
walk with me.
We'll rest our heads
by this old tree.
Sleep may come,
I know not when but till then
stay with me.
I was told
I'd meet a man
who'd fit my life
like a glove upon a hand,
then you walked in
and we talked a while.
You really make me smile.
Livin's just a part of life, dying's quite the same
there's nothing really left for me to say,
so I'll sing.
Heart of gold,
a joy to hold,
you comfort me
when i get cold and sad.
You're the best friend that I've ever had.
Wish i could've met your dad.
I know you well,
accepting you in all the ways.
If you could tell, then you'd realize
there's magic in your eyes.
Grab a dream
walk with me.
We'll rest our heads
by this old tree and dream.

Being Free
04:01
|
|||
|
I'm traveling to places
that I once went with you.
Trying to find a meaning
in doing things without you.
I don't know if it'll help but I gotta try.
Maybe so, maybe no but I gotta try.
So far all I do is cry.
It's kind of scary starting over
and doing life alone.
Did you know how much I miss you?
Are you better on your own?
Only know that i'm tired of "I don't know"s
In this way I will never be unsure
if a choice is wrong or right, gotta trust myself.
Maybe someday in the future
you'll look back and see
that even in the hard times
you were golden just like me.
Time will tell if we ever speak again.
In that space know my love for you my friend.
And I hope that you enjoy,
yes I hope that you enjoy
Being Free.

Sittin' In A Room
02:58
|

|
Sittin' in this room
while I'm still able to.
Trying to write a song you'd like,
who knows if I'll be able to?
I don't much sound like those country crooners
I know you enjoy.
But I love you, my sweet cowboy.
Dark days behind us, who knows what's ahead?
Can I offer you a pillow? My legs will be your bed.
And I don't mind if it's our time
'cause I know we've had our disputes,
but I still love you, my handsome man in boots.
In regards to sitting in that room,
I'm no longer able to.
Would you like this song, would you sing along, would you be able to?
We've said our goodbyes, gone our separate ways
and though we had to part,
just know my cowboy you're still in my heart.

Dream
03:39

Dream of me.
Dream of life beyond the pines, beyond the sea.
Follow me
to the dark and dusty corners of your memory.
You are more than you realize.
Accept that you are better than you think.
Life can drag every human to the ground.
Give yourself the courage to be free.
Take my hand,
let me lead you to the one you've always known.
Face to face
to the one that's always loved you, to the one that is your home.
You are more than you realize.
Accept that you are better than you think.
Life can drag every human to the ground.
Give yourself the courage to be free.
I'll wait for you.
I always will.
The darkness, the night, the loneliness, the fright.
It's calling me backwards, don't let it take me away
to the dark side.
I'll hide you. I will fight for you.
Oh, follow me
and I'll lead you to the light,
the light that lies inside of you.

Charlotte you're stepping on my toes.
Can you please give me some space?
Charlotte you've broken my nose
and I don't have a hiding place.
I care for you but you're just too much right now
to be around.
Charlotte please walk away this second
before I am homeward bound.
Charlotte.
David keep coming to my door.
David you haven't come enough today.
David I want you by my side.
David please stay.
David you fixed my broken nose.
David you fixed my broken toes.
David will you stay
one more night before I have to go away?
David.
Paula you're sensitive again.
Paula you've got to be your own friend.
Paula you've got to take care of yourself
even when David's not around.
'Cause Charlotte is going to be mean,
but Paula you've got to stay clean.
Charlotte is bending all the rules.
Paula you must look out for you.
Paula, I love you.

Camper Shell
03:31

Lately my life has been like hell.
When did everyone with a truck get a camper shell?
I see your face every day
and I gotta say you got a real good one.
Yes I gotta say, you got my favorite one.
And I know you needed me to be strong.
You needed me to just be alone.
Well guess what darling, I'm fine on my own.
I just wanted to be
close to you.
I guess you didn't want to, too.
I saw the sun rise in the East
and it broke my little heart
that I couldn't tell you dear
that I wanted you so near so close to me.
Tears were streaming down my face
guess I lost my place.
I ended up on a road, a road I did not know.
I felt a little scared, but guess what now I know...
that I'm fine to be alone.
Is that enough to bring you home?
I guess I always was a little more prone
to being sad in your arms.

Lock them away,
the blues of the day,
where I hear you say
the first time –
It would be wise
if you thought twice
before again
saying goodbye.
You were the one,
you were kind
but unfair.
And maybe someday soon
you'll see
how much
I cared.
You didn't notice when I
fell away, but I cried.
I cried.
And you didn't know
when you walked away,
didn't hear me say
"goodbye.
Here's to better times."
You were the one,
you were kind
but unfair.
And maybe someday soon
you'll see
how much
just how much I cared.
Stay with me forever and a day. (I really wish that I
I wish I could stay could go back in time)
I wish I could stay.
Laugh with me for only one more day. (I really wish that I
I wish I could stay. could go back in time)
I wish I could stay.
I wish i could stay.

The Western Song
03:59
|

|
A broken heart's no place to start but it's where I'm at.
A desert scene, alone again with the memory of what we had.
If the moon above it shines for you then what's left to shine for me?
I guess we'll have to wait and see.
A whippoorwill once sang to me a sweet melody.
A tune I feared I'd never again hear
but then you came to me.
All the songs of love they seem to me to be written just for you,
but now they only make me feel blue.
Now I'm alone and tired and the skies are all I have
so I guess that I'll keep trekkin' till I die
amidst the moon, the sun the wind and this here guitar of mine.
I'm sure I'll be fine, but still.
A broken heart's no place to start but it's where I'm at.
A desert scene, alone again with the memory of what we had.
If the stars above they shine for you then what's left to shine for me?
I guess we'll have to wait and see.
Now I'm alone and tired and the skies are all I have
so I guess that I'll keep trekkin' till I die
amidst the moon, the sun the wind and this here guitar of mine.
I'm sure I'll be fine, but still.
A broken heart's no place to start but it's where I'm at.
A desert scene, alone again with the memory of what we had.
If the moon above it shines for you then what's left to shine for me?
I guess we'll have to wait and see.
I guess we'll have to wait and see.
I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Little Color

Little green little one what would you want to become?
As yourself, as a child could you learn to love?
Darker now it seems the light inside your dreams
Sooner than it seems, the dark days these dark days will be gone.
Little blue little dove can you give me a smile?
Come what may, will you stay, stay awhile?
The dark marches on and the night is so young
But all things must pass and soon you’ll see the sun.
Lost again like a child again I failed to see the light.
Lost again like a child again, i failed to see the light at the end.
Little green little sparrow having fun,
Have you found the truth inside your wonderland?
Can it be that the one you want is gone,
Can it be that it’s time to let him go?
Take my hand like a child again, help me find path
Heaven’s waiting
Haunted by the past again, it’s time to see the light at the end.
There’s a road, there’s a road that you must travel alone.
It’s gonna be a lonely road, but i swear to you.
If you take that road then you’ll find you.
If you take that road then you’ll find you, the you that is true.
