Scattered

Here's to Everyone

These are troubled times we live in now
I know we can hold our own somehow
We’ll move on, we won’t forget
Things have changed for sure
But it’s all right
Everything’s all right

Here’s to letting go of fear
All that we hold dear
Here’s to you, here’s to me
Here’s to everyone

You’re uneasy about the road ahead
Harbor fears and doubts inside your head
You’re feeling lost, feeling unsure
Longing for the way thing were, all right
Everything will be all right

Here’s to going out with friends
Laughing hard again
Here’s to life, here’s to love
Here’s to memories

Here’s to running with the crowd
Playing music loud
Here’s to life, here’s to love
Here’s to being free

Here’s to letting go of fear
All that we hold dear
Here’s to you, here’s to me
Here’s to everyone
Here’s to going out with friends
Laughing hard again
Here’s to life, here’s to love
Here’s to memories

So Far Away

It’s so nice to hear your voice
Yeah, we’re doing fine
How’s the weather there?
How are those boys of mine?
Nothing changes here, nothing’s new
So glad to hear that things
Are going well for you

You’re so far away
You’re so far away
You’re so far away
We miss you everyday

Did you get that box I sent?
Was it in one piece?
I saw Catherine at the store
You know, Shirley’s niece
The boys sound so grown up
They sound so old
It’s snowing here again
IIt’s just been so darned cold

You’re so far away
You’re so far away
You’re so far away
We miss you everyday

I need a Christmas list from you
Will you be coming home?
I can’t hear a thing
On this old telephone
I get so sad this time of year
I don’t know why
I told myself this time
I wouldn’t cry

You’re so far away
You’re so far away
You’re so far away
We miss you everyday

What It Is I Feel

I guess it’s strange how little
I recall
It’s easier to block things out
That’s all
Sometimes I, I fall into a lie
Just to live inside my skin

You try to understand
But it won’t do no good
I’d explain it all to you
If I thought I could
Seems every time I try
I stumble and then I
Say ‘never mind’
And keep it to myself

So this is what I do
To try and make it through
Put down words that never seem to say
What it is I feel
What, to me, is oh-so-real
And what I live with every single day

There are places even I won’t go
Questions I don’t ask
‘Cause I don’t want to know

There are days I feel so lonely
Overwhelmed and scared if only
I could get myself up out of bed

So this is what I do
To try and make it through
Put down words that never seem to say
What it is I feel
What, to me, is oh-so-real
And what I live with every single day

It’s not like I can’t see that things are good
I just can’t feel that way for long

Scattered

I used to wake up every day so sure
That the world was mine
Had confidence and faith so pure
I knew I’d be fine
I used to close my eyes
Each night and I would fly
Now it seems my dreams
Have fallen from the sky
Right to the ground
Scattered all around

I used to lie in bed at night and dream
Of everything I’d do
All the people, places, things I’d see
Before I was through
Time can be cruel
Can bring you to your knees
Take everything
With no apologies
Then move right on
All your dreams are gone

It seems so cliché to say, but time
It just melts away
Seems we close our eyes and drift to sleep
Wake up old and gray
I say regrets
Are what others pass for hell
We leave this earth
Knowing all to well
What we could have been
If we had known back then
What we could have done
Back when we were young

Low Road

It blows in
Without a sound
Like paper in a puddle
You break down
Then it’s gone
And emptiness sets in
You’d give anything
If you could cry again

Yeah, I know
The doctors say
That they have these pills
To take your blues away
Still it’s hard
I can’t pretend
That it wouldn’t be like
Killing off a friend

It seems strange
But can’t you see
It’s there, it’s always
Been a part of me
And I’m scared
To let go
Of a big part of
The only me I know

Build it up
Tear it down
In this kingdom of dark dreams
I wear the crown
Every life
Every face that I see
Has a sad story
That overpowers me

In our hearts
We must trust
Or our dreams will turn to stone
Start to rust
Please hold on
Don’t let go
I’ll do my best
To never let it show

It blows in
Without a sound
Like paper in a puddle
You break down

The Unrelenting Kind

I have seen a love so sad
Break you heart in two
Love that paid a price
Of pain and sacrifice
And through it all stayed true

One should never have to know
The kind of love I’ve seen
Love through hell assured
Love that kept its word
Through trials unforeseen

The kind of love I’ve seen is bittersweet
The kind of love that’s stained with tears
Yet, you’ll never find love more complete
Love that stands unbowed for years

I have seen the truest love
The unrelenting kind
Love that won’t let go
Though gale force winds may blow
Love that stands against time

The kind of love I’ve seen is bittersweet
The kind of love that’s stained with tears
Yet, you’ll never find love more complete
Love that stands unbowed for years

Everything We Had

How could you have been so selfish
Say the thing you say
Lead me on and break my heart
Then turn and walk away
How could I have been so foolish
So blind so naïve
I was looking in your eyes
Instead of up your sleeve

Time will tell
Was it midlife did you in
Do you think she really loves you
Stay through thick and thin
Shame on you
For treating me so bad
Turned your back on all those years
And everything we had

I’m still trying to get my bearings
Living here alone
I have friends, but they have families
Problems of their own
I never dreamed I’d feel so helpless
Don’t think it’s sunk in
What’s the first step one should take
To start their life again

Maybe time
Will heal my aching heart
Maybe someday I’ll be grateful
For this brand-new start
Right now that seems
Oh-so-far away
Takes most everything thing I’ve got
To make it through the day

I still can’t believe this happened
Seems like some bad dream
I got the house, a little money
Lost my self esteem
Sometimes I hope you’ll beg forgiveness
Maybe move back in
Most the time I hope I’ll never
See your face again

Time will tell
Was it midlife did you in
Do you think she really loves you
Stay through thick and thin
Shame on you
For treating me so bad
Turned your back on all those years
And everything we had

Turned your back on all those years
And everything we had

* And the Grass Won't Pay No Mind (Not Included on Download)

Listen easy, you can hear God calling
Walking barefoot by the stream
Come on to me, Your hair’s softly falling
On my face as in a dream

And the time will be our time
And the grass won’t pay no mind

Saying nothing, lying where the sun is
Baking down upon our sides
My lips touch you, with their soft wet kisses
Your hands gentle in reply

And the time will be our time
And the grass won’t pay no mind

Child, touch my soul with your cries
And the music will know what we’ve found
I, hear a hundred good-byes
But today I hear only one sound
The moment we’re living is now
Now now now now now now now

Young bird flying, and a soft wind blowing
Cools the sweat inside my palms
Close my eyes, hear the flowers growing
As you lay sleeping in my arms

And the time will be our time
And the grass won’t pay no mind
No the grass won’t pay no mind

Barfly Blues

I really messed things up this time
Too little sleep and too much wine
I guess I’ll just be on my way
Words wouldn’t change things anyway

I made my bed, I try to sleep
Three Placidyl and count some sheep
It wears you down being a creep

Hour-by-hour, day-by-day
I stumble, crawl and make my way
Through happy hours and ladies nights
Drunken babble, pointless fights

Yellow fingers, aching head
Bloodshot eyes and spinning bed
Most of my family thinks I’m dead
It’s all so sad…

My skin’s an awful place to be
I’d change my ways if I were me
It seems my fate, the dice are cast
As long as my liver will last

On this barstool I will lurk
Overweight and out of work
No use denying I’m a jerk

Bar pour whiskey, ten cent tips
Frequent zigzag bathroom trips
Pickled eggs, stale bags of chips
It’s all so sad…

Summer Song

Fireflies
Tornado skies
Green and still
Sirens shrill
Down in the basement
Listening to AM radio

Kick the can
Ice cream man
Mosquito fog
Barking dog
Somebody’s calling
Olly olly oxen free

Sheets hanging out
Mothers shout
Mowers drone
I’m all alone
I sit in the way back
Dad’s got the Twins on 830

All alone…

Always Be Friends

Let’s never grow bitter
Let’s never grow old
Let’s never stay inside
‘Cause the outside is cold
Let’s never be angry
Let’s never fight
We’ll lie on our backs
Count the stars every night

We’ll always be friends
Always be friends
Always, forever
We’ll hang out together
We’ll always be friends
Always be friends
Always, forever
Through all kinds of weather
With you

I’ll be there for you
You’ll be there for me
I’ll bring you a bandage
Should you skin your knee
I’ll pick you first
And you’ll do the same
If ever you need me
Just call out my name

We’ll always be friends
Always be friends
Always, forever
Through all kinds of weather
With you

I’ll always love you
I’ll always be true
I’ll always smile
When I think about you
You’re my very best friend
More precious than gold
A shoulder to cry on
A hand I can hold

We’ll always be friends
Always be friends
Always, forever
We’ll hang out together
We’ll always be friends
Always be friends
Always, forever
Through all kinds of weather
With you
