A Thousand Little Things
“A Thousand Little Things was built around a single line that I scribbled in a notebook on the night of August 15, 1988, the night I met my wife. It’s a simple pop song, but it’s as heartfelt as anything I’ve written.” MZ

Lyrics
In the park I saw you standing there
With your shy smile and long dark hair
And I can still remember the dress you wore
The way you moved and so much more
There were a thousand little thingsThere were a thousand little things
A thousand little things
A thousand little things
That stole my heartI remember your lips and your hazel eyes
The way you turned the heads of all the guys
And I remember the hat that you had on
The way you hummed that Beatles song
There were a thousand little thingsThere were a thousand little things
A thousand little things
A thousand little thingsRight there and then I knew
How much I needed you
And I had to make you see
That you needed meI remember your laugh and the dress you wore
The way you moved and so much moreThere were a thousand little things
A thousand little things
A thousand little things

Evangeline
“Evangeline comes as close to capturing what I set out to capture as any song I’ve written. Getting pretty close is about as good as it gets for a songwriter. The fact that my son plays on the track makes it that much more special.” MZ

Lyrics
Evangeline
I’ve been away too long
And all I’m bringing home for you
Is another sad, sad, song
And the same old worn out dream
Hanging by a thread
Evangeline I miss your arms
I miss our bedHere we are
So I guess that’s where we start
Trying to forgive myself
That’s the hardest partNow I’m coming home
I can see the lights of Leon
And how they shine
For you EvangelineThere we were
And here we are
And from there to here
Somehow seems so farNow I’m coming home
I can see the lights of Leon
And how they shine
I love you Evangeline- Written By:

Rose of Jericho
“Rose of Jericho was written with my father and an old friend from my hometown in mind. They were both remarkable men that radiated a lot of love out into the world during their relatively short lives. That love continues to radiate out into the world through all of us that had the good fortune of having known them.” MZ

Lyrics
In our hearts
In our blood
Come the fire
Come the floodWood to ash
Stone to dust
Empires crumble
To rubble and rustAnd so it is
We come and we go
But our love lives on
Like a Rose of JerichoLights grow dim
Faces fade
Debts come due
That gotta be paidThe days grow short
Summer to fall
It’s a long, slow walk
Down a beautiful hallAnd so it is
We come and we go
But our love lives on
Like a Rose of JerichoAnd I know in my heart
That I’ll see you again
Don’t know where
Can’t say whenEverything that’s yours
Is yours to give
So much more time
Than life to liveAnd so it is
We come and we go
But our love lives on
Like a Rose of JerichoOur love lives on

Storm the Wall
“My 8-year-old daughter loves “rock and roll”, which for her requires loud guitars and big drums. She also loves the color pink and romantic stories. Storm the Wall is my attempt to give her a little of both.” MZ

Lyrics
I need your love like
I need each breath of air
For your love I’d do anything
Go anywhereOnward, cross the Rubicon
To the depths of Hell
To the stars and beyondI’d storm the wall for you
Storm the wall until I broke through
Just to lay my love down at your feetSlay the dragon, set you free
The whole king’s army couldn’t stop me
Just tell me what I need to do
I’d storm the wall for youYour love’s the reason
I get up each day
It’s the star at night
By which I find my wayI love you girl, don’t you ever doubt it
From the mountaintop I’ll shout itI’d storm the wall for you
Storm the wall until I broke through
Just to lay my love down at your feetSlay the dragon, set you free
The whole king’s army couldn’t stop me
Just tell me what I need to do
I’d storm the wall for you- Written By:
