Martyr Away

---" One of those, Feeling sorry for yourself songs. Sometimes I just feel that way!!!"

Too bad. So sad. Too bad. So sad. Too bad. So sad.

You set yourself up to watch yourself fall.
How many times? Let's count them all.
And martyr away the rest of the day.
Martyr away.

The dues you pay won't go away.
The pain you feel is here to stay.
The chances have come. You kiss them all good-bye.
Good-bye and run away.

But if you'd listen you would know that you are not alone.
And if you'd stand up you would find tomorrow gives us time.
I don't know why why why why why why why why you have to
Kiss it all good-bye.

Too bad. So sad. Too bad. So sad. Too bad. So sad. Too bad. So sad.

The world doesn't wait for you to spin.
And if I loose, you think you win.
The bridges you've burned could all to built again
If you'd try.

You looked me in the eye. I see you
And it makes me sad to feel the way I do about you.

But if you'd listen you would know that you are not alone.
And if you'd stand up you would find tomorrow gives us time.
I don't know why why why why why why why why why
You have to kiss it all good-bye.

You set yourself up to watch yourself fall.
How many times? Let's count them all.
And martyr away the rest of the day. Martyr away.
Martyr away. Martyr away……..

Angels On Parade

---" An, I love you, story.... and heaven smiles."

Not long ago

Not far away

You caught my eye and for a day

A breeze became a breath of you

Your love was like I never knew

And with your touch I came alive

And I am filled with love inside

When I'm with you I fly with wings like
I'm in heaven
When I'm with you angels go on parade

In all the world they'll never be
Another love for you than me
I'll hold you now until I die and then to heaven I will fly
With every end there is a start
Our children will carry this in their hearts

When I'm with you I fly with wings like I'm in heaven
When I'm with you angels go on parade

All of my life I've waited here for something to believe
All of my life I've waited here for you and now I see
As stories go there will be spring, there will be snow, but,
Through all of my life, when I'm with you angels go on parade

On parade

We love we loose. We share we bruise
And all my life I'll share with you.
We'll see the joy, the pain, the loss
And passion's ache at any cost.
And looking back we'll know we've lived
I love you now, forever.

When I'm with you I fly with wings like I'm in heaven
When I'm with you angels go on parade.

All of my life I've waited here for someone now I know
All of my life I've waited here for you and now I see,
As stories go - there will be spring - there will be snow
But, through all of my life, when I'm with you angels go on parade.
Angels in heaven - we're all on parade - life has been given - we're all on parade - we're all on parade……………….

Narrowly Lost My Mind

---" obsessive love"

Until I narrowly lost my mind

Until I narrowly lost my mind……….

Naked in love

But I'm too numb to feel the pain

And I am swimming in the tars that fill my heart

And now I fear

Because this feeling is way too strong

And if you left me now I know I'd fall apart

Nothing but you will hold me together
Nothing but you in all kinds of weather
Turning me on the inside until there's nothing but you

Nothing but you is making me crazy
Nothing but you I thought that just maybe
You'd dance inside my had until there's nothing but you

All over me

Until I narrowly lost my mind………..

My only hope
Is that we make it last forever
Because there's nothing that makes me crazier than you
And if I have the time
I'd only like to return the favor
Because only crazy's good enough for you

Nothing but you will hold me together
Nothing but you in all kinds of weather
Turning me on the inside until there's nothing but you

Nothing but you is making me crazy
Nothing but you, I thought that just maybe
You'd dance around head until there's nothing but you

All over me

Until I narrowly lost my mind
Until I narrowly lost my mind
Giving me hope
Giving me joy
Giving me pain

Never There

---" Never there, never will......." it's the end.

Oh…, I won't let you in to begin again

Turning, you said don't ever look back or you'll

Never win.

I fell through the cracks like a broken shell

Now, you knock on my door to redeem yourself

Never will………..

Say, I'm grown and with children and on my own
Look, I felt all the moments than let them go
You, think it's the same but it never is

Where were you?
Where were you?
Where?

Never there
Never there
Never there…………………………..

Fallen From Grace

---" twirling, swirling, in the turmoil of living on the edge"

Looking for an answer

Flowing white lace

Guardian angel of the city

Fallen from grace

She dances on the outside
She runs to survive
Carnival masses on bourbon street
Inside she cries
She's a friend to the lady with her pushcart
She's but one step away
Fate holds her a place at the alter
Just not today
She is ruler of her little world
Court jester to the wind
High priest to the clouds that surround her
She is dancing in the rain
In the rain she is free again
She is free

She dances on the outside
She runs to survive
Carnival masses on bourbon street
Inside she cries

She is ruler of her little world
Court jester to the wind
High priest to the clouds that surround her
She is dancing
She is dancing in the rain

Sunday Morning Smile

---"oooh, baby.."

Where's my Sunday morning smile

Why don't you stay with me a while

I promise to be everything you need

And you could make me happy

You've got me churning like butter

I'm higher on the inertia, babe
I've seen it all and I see no other
And everything is alright

I've been away for way too long and
I packed by bags and I walked right out the door
I'm floating like cotton candy,
And everything is alright
Come from the desert I am thirsty, dear
You be my Zeus I'll be your Aphrodite
You be the map I'll be the engineer
Together we'll find our way
I'm coming home coming home coming home coming home

This is my fantasy, oh what you do to me
This is my fantasy, oh what you do, I'm coming home,
Coming home………coming home

Come from the desert I am thirsty, dear
You be my Zeus, I'll be your Aphrodite
You be the map I'll be the engineer
Together we'll find our way

So, where's my Sunday morning smile
Why don't you stay with me a while
I promise to be everything you need and you could

Make me happy

Whirling Dervish

"wild middle-eastern vocal/drum song. Wonderfully fun to Sing!'

Millions of people. Lost in a crowd.

Shoved through the doorway. Pushed to the ground.

Fate held it's promise. Luck has it's cost.

That's when I found myself, found myself lost.

In Bombay.

There in a vision a glorious face
Saved by a spirit of infinite grace.
There in a vision a glorious face
Held by a spirit in a loving embrace. Embrace. Embrace.

There at that table a syntax divine,
Humanity and knowledge, spirits intertwined.
The snake and the flower.
Good and evil fall.
And I did as he commanded when he said,
"eat the lotus and drink the venom wine."
"eat the lotus and drink the venom wine."

In Bombay.

We are connected, the right and the wrong.
Fear is not knowing
We all belong. All belong. All belong. All belong.

Heaven Sweet

---" edgy love song included in film, "Letters To Lauren"

come to me my heaven sweet shelter from the pain

comfort me give me my addiction

find the place where heaven's meet to throw it all away
you're like heaven sweet, heaven sweet
you know how to lose it all you've got nowhere else to be
aaaah babe, it's only me

we cannot tell the future, but we can recognize the past

because it's gone gone gone, shadows never last
all the fear you hold so close is swallowing you whole
we will find a way, find a way

you know how to loose it all you've got nowhere else to be

and aah babe, you take my breath away

(solo)

heaven sweet my heaven sweet
breaking all the rules
calm the waves and
ease your inhibitions
each and all the angels wait to hold you in their arms
heaven's Zen holds on your confession

you know how to loose it all, you've got nowhere else to be

and aah babe it's only me. and aah babe, you take my breath away.

Honey jar

---"IT AIN'T GONNA' HAPPEN"

Can't fill the honey jar if the honeycomb's dry

Can't be the baker with your fingers in the pie

Can't build a relationship that's based upon a lie

It's all on the outside of you

Can't fly like an eagle if you're locked
Inside a cell
Can't heal a broken heart
That's hidden in a well
And you can't confide in a friend if you
Know they're gonna tell
It's all on the outside of you

(chorus)

     So don't lie to me and expect me to believe
     My heart can hear what my eyes can't see
     Leave me alone - just let me be

     A worm can't mate with a dinosaur
     And in the back of your mind you're
     Always keeping score
     And one thing I know (deep down - for sure)
     We are never more

Can't wait in the desert for your
Ship to come in
Can't find an ending if you forget to begin
And if you don't play the game,
You're never gonna' win
So name it fate, throw it away

It's about time we used the gift of knowing,
The right way to choose and
It's about time, about time
I put an end to you.

Can't save a drowning man when he's running away
Can't make it April when its really may
And you can't hide in the closet -
And then have it your way
And you can't change what you did to me yesterday.

(chorus)

     So don't lie to me and expect me to believe
     My heart can hear what my eyes can't see
     Leave me alone -just let me be
     Nothing you can do will bring me back, nothing you…

Keeper of my Soul

---"dedicated to my mother."

That moment you stood alone

Hang on the edge of the sea,

Like tears in the morning looking back at me..

She said she would always love you
But how could everything go so wrong
Just when you least expected she was gone..

Let her go keeper of my soul set it free she is home

Let her go and know forever she's with you inside
You are the keeper of my soul.

Here we are standing alone.
The moment I saw you I knew.
I was destined to love you forever, I knew…..

They say there's a heaven.
We find it in a place we feel inside.
But to find it you've got to let it go. Let it go.

Ooh, keeper of my soul. Set it free. Take me home. Keeper of my soul.

Childhood Games

---" Oh, the games we play..........."

I love you madly

You treat me badly

I leave you sadly weeping at bedroom door

My fortress crumbles
I take a tumble
You tease me with my back against the wall and then you

Run, hide. Play with my mind
But don't dare me, the truth can hurt so don't blame me or else I'll run away.

So just close your eyes
You'll never win.
So just compromise
And we'll begin. We'll begin.

Run, hide. Play with my mind
But don't dare me, the truth can hurt so don't blame me or else I'll run……..

(interlude)

Oh, those games that we play
Fumbling around in the rain

Gotta' make up my mind. I can't help it if I play too much like a guy
I gotta'' push it till you're bouncing off the walls, and I send you to the deep
end baby.

Gotta' see the other side, other side and I've gotta make up my mind

'cause you know I love a con-test we'll see who's best baby

Run hide play with my mind
But don't dare me, the truth can hurt so don't blame me
Or else I'll run away.

Run, hide. Play with my mind
You're a sweetheart, but you're mean as hell
And I'll fight you. But I love you, anyway.

I Love You, Eternally

---" Best friends, too afraid to admit they have fallen in love" for indie film, " Junk In a Trunk"

Best friends forever

That is you and me

Tied together like laces, comfortable and free

But something has changed today
It's like you stepped into the light
And all of a sudden - I see

What if I told you that I fell in love with you
Why can't you see it in my eyes
What if I told you that I loved you more than a friend
What if we never had to say goodbye again

Tonight I hold you close afraid to watch you go
Wanting you more than you'll ever know
Will I loose you forever if I tell you now, my friend
In another moment, I'll know

Sometimes it's hard to be the best of friends
Wanting you more than I can stand to pretend
You know all about me but there's one thing you can's see
I love you, eternally

What if I told you that I fell in love with you
Why can't you see it in my eyes
What if I told you that I love you more than a friend
What if we never had to say goodbye, again
What if we never had to say - goodbye, again. Never, ever - say goodbye, aah, goodbye, yeah, goodbye
Good bye..............
