| Songwriting, or more accurately, Lyric writing is something fairly new to me but for what it is worth, here goes. All of these are a work in progress. |
| Fair Weather Lover
You�re a fair weather lover and you�re gonna lose the only good thing in your life if you keep this up. Yes you are. You know you�re gonna. Yeah. Cause you�re a fair weather lover and you�ll lose the only good thing you got going on if you keep this up. Oh yes you will. You know cause I�m tellin� you right now. Yes you will. And if you lose our love you know you�ll never have nothin� this good in your life again. Oh no you won�t. You know you won�t. And you�re losin� me you loser you. You�re a fair weather lover. Yes you are. When things get tough you walk right out that door go to your friends till things get right again. �cause it�s easier for you. And though your touch is sweet your kisses hot you leave me all alone to deal when things get hard. You know you do and I�m not gonna do this anymore. I don�t need no fair weather lover and you know I�m the only good thing in your loser life so what you gonna do? make up your mind. What you gonna do? ************************************************************* |
| Walk Alone At Sunset
I walk alone at sunset, feel the breeze against my face like your breath on my lips that will never come again. I walk alone at sunset, feel the breeze on my body like your sweet touch, but it will never come again. No it won�t , not again. Just a memory now. Because you lied. You lied to me and what could I do but send you away. Out the door. Told you never come back. Cause I can�t let you, I won�t let you hurt me again. Not again. Never. No I won�t. I wish that I could push you from my mind like I sent you from my life, but I want you back. In my arms again. Yes I admit that I do. I wish that I could get you right out of my mind but I want you back, in my life, in my bed in my arms again. Yes, you know that I do. And I walk alone at sunset remembering what was I feel your touch in every breeze and the pain of it brings me to my knees. Down on my knees I fall. It drives me down sometimes. Yes it does But then I�ll stand right up again, pull myself back up and I�ll walk on. Yes I�ll get right back up again, on my own two feet, and I�ll walk on. Walk alone without you and I feel myself grow strong. I walk alone at sunset, that breeze against my face like your warm breath on my lips but it will never come again I walk alone at sunset feel the breeze on my body like your sweet touch but it will never come again. I�ll never let it come again And I walk on. ************************************************* |
| Just For Today
I never dreamed he�d say goodbye like that and I may never know the reason why. Although tomorrow the sun may shine again just for today, I�m gonna have to cry. I know all the platitudes you could give but please don�t tell me I�ll be fine. Don�t say you know that I�ll get over him because I know I prob�ly will in time. But I never dreamed he�d walk away like that and I don�t think I�ll ever understand the reason why. Although tomorrow the sun may shine again just for today I�m gonna have to cry. Right now the hurt is far too raw inside and my heart feels like it wants to die. So let me be with these emotions for a little while cause just for today I really need to cry. Only for today I need to cry. **************************************************** Sorceror He casts his spell on me. His words make me melt. His hands touch me places no one�s ever touched me before. Completely at his mercy I yield myself to him. I open myself to him and I cry out for more. He casts his spell on me. The words make me feel Safe and loved and desperately wanted at last. The world stands still when I am in his arms. Under his spell I know I�d do whatever he asks. He must be a sorcerer. I don�t know how I could explain how he makes me do the things I do and cry out for his loving once again. He must be a sorcerer. How else could anyone explain why he makes me feel the things I feel and beg him for his loving once again. ******************************************************** |
| Singer Not the Song
She takes your order and serves the food Sings her song inside without a sound Such strong and tender melodies Hoping that one day she�ll be found And after hours she works the clubs Streets echo with her soulful song But the business is a battlefield So she prays to God to make her strong She�s got a voice that�s wicked good So she searches for that open door And while she works, in her heart she sings But she�s not what they are looking for And when she sings she�s not a child But the road she walks is hard and long And you can�t see she�s so naive Cause she�s the singer, not the song. *********************************************************** I Don't Feel It Anymore Scented candles leading to the bed Rose petals strewn across the floor You show your love to me in tender ways But I just don�t feel it any more You�ve always been my dearest friend And as a lover you are pure desire But lately when you smile and touch my face I turn away cause I can�t feel the fire And I don�t want to hurt you You�re the joy within my life I don�t know where the feeling�s gone But I won't give up without a fight And I don�t want to see That sad look upon your face When you reach out for me And I can�t return your embrace I love you and I hate this I want things as they were before And I remember nights of sweet, sweet love But I can�t find those feelings anymore *********************************************************** |
| Song for a Friend
The silver lady knows that deep inside our souls though names and places change our scripts are all the same. The loving and the fears our joyfulness and tears we try so hard to hide she brings forth from inside. And the silver lady flies. but the silver lady cries. Then each tear becomes a melody that every woman�s soul can sing. Oh, silver lady, sing my soul for me. And when you�re down so low she suddenly appears her smile dispels the darkness, dries up all the tears. We�re sisters of the soul for she is just like me and together we will face all adversity. ****************************************************** |

| I�ve Come Home
I step outside to watch the stars fading in the waking sky Dew on the grass between my toes the cat chatters at moths flying by Listening to tree frogs in the woods the wind rustling the leaves like a sigh I smell the lilacs and dampness around and I know that I�ve come home. I�ve returned to the place I fled long ago the town I ran from as a scorned child Now I see it anew with adult eyes and I know that I�ve come home. And the pain that I felt here long ago seems distanced with the passing years So I�ll plant my roots down once again �cause I know that I�ve come home. ********************************************************** .... Lost my dignity I was too far into the fantasy to see you, not seeing me. ************************************************************* |
| Circle Game
Isn�t it time to say goodbye now I�m tired of playing this old game It�s the only way you know to be But I gotta tell you it�s getting lame We make up and everything is good Then the hurting begins again You accuse me and the fighting starts There has to be a better way You seem to like this circle game Well, I�m not playing any more Apologize all you like This time I�m walking out that door The last time you�ll see me Is when I turn and walk out that door Don�t call, don�t write, don�t follow me �Cause I�m not being played no more ******************************************************** |
| From the first day I met you
I knew I had to get you, boy Loving you is what I wanna do But you break my heart, yes you do You see me as just a child But this attraction is driving me wild I can�t wait to feel our first kiss I want to make you feel like this Don�t go treating me so badly When I can�t wait to feel you touch me But you see me as just a child And this physical attraction keeps on driving me wild You, you are my answered dream I�d be lost in the emotions of your kiss Let me sink in your touch, drown in your embrace Lost forever in the smile on your sweet face Only you can do me right Take hold of me and hang on tight Give me a chance, we�ll go for a ride I want to make my grown man cry ************************************************************ |
| Feel The Healing
Come over here, you come over here and hold me tight Let me know what you�re feelin� through the night Kiss my neck and run your hands all over me Tell me everything as you make love to me And feel the healing Feel it coming down from above That special thing that happens Whenever we make love Let me give you what you need right now Let down your guard and just tell me how You know how great making love can be You just hang on tight and soon you�ll see You�ll feel the healing Coming down, coming down from above That special thing that happens Whenever we make love There�s so much about each other we have yet to explore The world will just melt away as we cry out for more It�ll be OK, let the healing do its thing Soon you won�t care how bad life gets, cause we have everything And feel the healing Feel it coming down from above That special thing that happens Whenever we make love *********************************************************** |
