A Songwriters Tale
So these are my stories
Of heaven and hell
And those I knew well
So pour yourself a drink
And pull up that chair
I’ve got all the time
For us to talk and share
Looking back in time
To the friends I have known
I think of them still
When I am all alone
To friends I laughed with
The loves I had won
And those who have gone
The years will go rushing by
So why do I worry
or wonder why
And when we’re no longer around
All that is left
Is a songwriters tale
The years will go rushing by
So why do I worry
or wonder why
And when we’re no longer around
All that is left
Is a songwriters tale
The years will go rushing by
So why do I worry
or wonder why
And when we’re no longer around
All that is left
Is a songwriters tale

All That Time Ago
Was the summer of 71
Just hanging out and having so much fun
Andy’s playing guitar…… in the Sun
Writing songs up in my room
Andy says I’ll play you brand new tune
Harmonies drifted into the air
And nothing really mattered to us at all
But my daddy at my age had to go and fight in a war
I think of him doing the best he could
He and my momma hoping our lives would be good
Wish the they could see I understood
We sang our songs and got them on tape
Played at our college
and everyone thought we were great
Just being ourselves it felt so good
Those days are gone
But we still have the music
and the hopes and dreams of my …….momma and daddy
Still live deep within my soul
And nothing really mattered to us at all
But my daddy at that age had to go and fight in a war
All that time ago
All that time ago
All that time ago
I remember my mother and father
All That time ago

I Can’t Tell You
When I look back
To a place that
Lives in my mind
It was part of my life
Rainy days and
Funny ways and
Being crushed on the underground lines
Worker’s cafes with
Chips and mash
You put on the sauce
No matter what you had
I remember
Each September
Not wanting to go
back to school again
But I can’t tell you
Why I’m feeling this way
All that I know is what I want now so I have to say
And I don’t know why Im thinking today
That my life has been a circle just spinning away
In my school days
It was fun but also cruel
I had a friend back then
Now he’s gone but
Forever
We stuck together
He was on my side
College Free Days
Love and Peace Days
Playing my guitar
I was finding myself
First Love and
The first hurt
But at that time
It seemed it was all that I had
But I can’t tell you
Why I’m feeling this way
All that I know is what I want now so I have to say
And I don’t know why Im thinking today
That my life has been a circle just spinning away
To find what is right
To find what is right
When I think back
To those days
Theres’ just one thing that I now understand
Life’s a circle
Love is the center
For love after all
Is where it all began

Lay In Your Bed
I’ll try a million times
To see if I can find
A way to you and never let you go
Drive every highway
Take that road every day
Just to tell you that I love you so
Wanna lay in your bed
Wanna lay in your bed
Wanna lay lay in your bed
I’m in so much pain
From being so far away
I don’t sleep and I can’t say awake
Your so close to my heart
Yet were far apart
My body aches and I can’t take the strain
Wanna lay in your bed
Wanna lay in your bed
Wanna lay lay in your bed
Wanna lay in your bed
Wanna lay in your bed
Wanna lay lay in your bed

Look to The Stars
She sits by the window
Thinking of the days when she all alone
Living on the streets
With nowhere to call home
Its all coming back now
All those memories
Without a friend in the world
and living on charity
She remembers the bad days
Cold and hungry
Where love could not be found
and you trusted no one
in case they took you down
And when you were at home now
In the dark of the night
Is there something else that is missing
To make it right?
What goes on in your head?
As you lay in your bed
Did you look to the stars above?
For the man that you love
In this blue collar town
Working so hard
Just to keep her family fed
As she remembers the words
Her daddy had once said
Hold onto your dreams
And the light from above
For time will heal the pain
And give you love
What goes on in your head?
When you lay in your bed
Did you look to the stars above?
For the man that you love

We are like sun and moon
that will never come out
while I rise you sunset and then
only the silence between us .........
The sun and the moon ... .. I wait for the eclipse ... ..
