amber and smoke
A hundred horses and five freight trains
Couldn’t drag me into that early grave
I’ve cashed in all the mistakes I’ve made
While God rode shotgun from a million miles away
I don’t wake in sorrow I don’t walk in shame
I don’t deal in hearsay I don’t dwell in blame
Sometimes it’s best to forget what I know and what they say
But this aint that time ……and this aint that day
With the heart of a gypsy and the eyes of a child
I walk these fields and let my love grow wild
Filled with my fever I dare my desires
I don’t fear the flame I walk through the fire
I don’t wake in sorrow I don’t walk in shame
I don’t deal in hearsay I don’t dwell in blame
Sometimes it’s best to forget what I know and what they say
But this aint that time ……and this aint that day
I’ll keep ridin’ ‘til the trail grows cold
Where the hillsides burn amber and smoke
The sheep and the shepherd lost on different roads
Blinded by hate blinded by hope
I don’t wake in sorrow I don’t walk in shame
I don’t deal in hearsay I don’t dwell in blame
Sometimes it’s best to forget what I know and what I say
But this aint that time ……and this aint that day

Desert Moon
Hear the silence call see the moonlight fall upon her knees
Come unpack your thoughts give up what you’ve lost
Surrender you’re free
Tonight the morning will come too soon
Restless stars will be on the move
The angels will bathe in the shade of this desert moon
Now is not too late come and take your place she’s waiting
On this ageless night sit beneath the sky
And watch the day escaping
Tonight the morning will come too soon
Restless stars will be on the move
The angels will bathe in the shade of this desert moon
Until the morning comes like a midnight sun she calls to you
Hear the evening howl she wants you now
Give in to this full moon
Tonight the morning will come too soon
Restless stars will be on the move
The angels will bathe in the shade of this desert moon

Dreams Of Rain

Dreams of Rain
I was dreamin’ of clouds again
Above an ocean that I fell in
Wonderin’ how long it’s been
Cuz I am so far away inside my dreams of rain
I was singin’ a melody
Of a song I hear in my sleep
With you lyin’ next to me
Now I hear nothin’ else this silence I made myself
Now thunder wind and rain drown all the words I say
It doesn’t matter anyway everyday ends the same
Inside my dreams of rain
There’s time now I need to use
Forget the world that was mine to lose
Remember words that inspired you
But here I am further away fallin’ like dreams of rain
Now thunder wind and rain drown all the words I say
It doesn’t matter anyway everyday ends the same
Inside my dreams of rain
I’m laying upon the clouds
Wonderin’ if you still know how
To make my heart make a sound
Cuz I feel so far away inside my dreams of rain

Feels Like I'm Home

Feels Like Home
I know what I can live without and what I won’t
I tried to tell you long ago well now you know
I’m lookin’ for colors in this world I’m livin’ in
Cuz I’ve been homesick for a place I’ve never been
It’s time to find myself a home
A place where I can go to slowdown
And if I’m low or feelin’ fine
I just close my eyes and I know
It feels like I’m home
Lord I’ve tried both letting go and hangin’ on
I’ve been high and I’ve ben lovestruck to the ground
When I’m near you I can hear and you the dream begins
I was close to givin’ up now I’m givin’ in
It’s time to find myself a home
A place where I can go to slowdown
And if I’m low or feelin’ fine
I just close my eyes and I know
It feels like I’m home
Why try live without it
No why live without it
Forget all your doubts about it
No there’s no doubt about it
Home is where you hang your heart
Where life is just a little less hard
Whether we’re together or alone
It feels like I’m home
I know what I can live without and what I won’t
I tried to tell you long ago well now you know
Pull the curtain lift the window let the morning in
Stop the world and let today begin
It feels like I’m home

Here She Comes

Here She Comes
Blue jean baby here she comes
The willin’ are waitin’ with loaded guns
Able and aimin troubles on the way
You can’t turn your head cuz you can’t look away
Love came by lookin’ for someone
Watch her walk you know you’re not the only one
Our dreamless days are done she fills them one by one
And she’s only just begun here she comes
Heels on the ground heart in the clouds
She can make you doubt what you can live without
That feelin’ you thought was gone has come back again
But can you take that heartache that’s comin’ round the bend
Love came by lookin’ for someone
Watch her walk you know you’re not the only one
Our dreamless days are done she fills them one by one
And she’s only just begun here she comes
Every heart follows her wherever she goes
They wait at the end of her rainbow
Dressed like a retro fitted angel in disguise
I can’t stop her thoughts running through my mind
Love came by lookin’ for someone
Watch her walk you know you’re not the only one
Our dreamless days are done she fills them one by one
And she’s only just begun
Love came by lookin’ for someone
Watch her walk you know you’re not the only one
Our dreamless days are done she fills them one by one
And she’s only just begun
Here she comes here she comes
Here she here she here she comes

Love, Tears and Time
Get up get ready get over it get on your way
There’s no right or wrong it’s just good as gone
Turn the page you’ll learn to love another day
Love comes love goes it’s no secret don’t you know
Tears run until they’re dry
Time flies it don’t stop hearts tick like a clock
Sometimes it’s good to say goodbye
Don’t waste your love, tears and time
Headlights headfirst you’re headed right where you belong
You’re gonna be allright there’s always next time
You’re not the first you know you wont be the last
(cuz) Love comes love goes it’s no secret don’t you know
Tears run until they’re dry
Time flies it don’t stop hearts tick like a clock
Sometimes it’s good to say goodbye
Don’t waste your love, tears and time
Did you picture this not so long ago
When we/you were high up on the hill and everything looked so pretty
Time was light hope was in your eyes
If it seemed too good to be true …maybe it was………..
Long ride long time
It’s hard to see what’s coming’ if you’re missin’ what’s gone
A million hearts are waitin’ on their marks
Forget what’s done and dead remember what I said
Love comes love goes it’s no secret don’t you know
Tears run until they’re dry
Time flies it don’t stop hearts tick like a clock
Sometimes it’s good to say goodbye
Don’t waste your love, tears and time

Marie Louise
Lovely Marie Louise
Eyes open so wide that I can see
The wind in the willows
The breeze through the trees whisper come to me
Daydream Marie Louise
Where will your thoughts take you when they’re set free
Where will your heart go
When will you know how much you mean to me
Flying, falling, feeling, finding love
Everywhere I go anyone can see
The gift you are to me sweet Marie Louise
Tell me Marie Louise
Why colours fall around you like autumn leaves
Why the night shines and the sun rains love down on you
Flying, falling, feeling, finding love
Everywhere I go anyone can see
The gift you are to me sweet Marie Louise

Morning Star
Morning Star how I wonder what you are
You make me smile
you’re a candle shinin’ in my heart
When you laugh it feels like sunshine
come walk with me put your hand in mine
Life is fine because you’re my morning star
Open your eyes time to meet another day
See the sunlight dancin’
Feel her kisses up and down your face
There’s no hurry we’ve got time lets sit beneath this mornin’ sky
Life is fine because you’re my mornin’ star
I’m never far from where you are mornin’ star
You’re a candle shinin’ in my heart mornin’ star
I’m never far from where you are mornin’ star
Even angels sleep I’ll be here when the morning comes
Dream your dreams then wake me with your light bright as the sun
Wherever you go love just grows and I love you more than you could know
You’re a candle shinin’ in my heart mornin’ star
I’m never far from where you are mornin’ star
Yes life is fine because you’re my mornin’ star

Summer In Nice
Summer winds come hold me closer
Summer nights never be over
Never end last forever never never end
Summer came and brought us together
Now and forever I’ll always remember
You beside a sea of blue and tables dressed for two
Under a sky changing colours
On a night made for lovers
To the sounds of the sea I’ll always be
Remembering summer nights in Nice
Under a sky changing colours
On a night made for lovers
To the sounds of the sea we’ll always be
Remembering summer in Nice
Summer sun I’ll always be under
The spell of that summer
And the sights and the sounds of love and stars above us

What I Feel For You
Baby there’s one thing I know good love aint easy to come by
I found you and I won’t let go I‘ve been waiting for you all my life
I was prayin’ for a love to call my own
I’m so grateful for this feelin’ deep in my soul
There’s nothin’ we can do
We’re bound through and through
So glad you feel what I feel for you
The hold you have on me babe is something I’ll never let go of
This hope that you’ve given me has filled my world with love
We’re standin’ on this mountain high sharin’ this song we sing
This time I’ll hold on tight because what we’ve got is the real thing
There’s nothin’ we can do
We’re bound through and through
So glad you feel what I feel for you
Baby there’s one thing I know you came from the heavens above
Aint that sweet love you’ve given me I just can’t get enough
Keep on holdin’ me and tell me that you’re mine
In your arms is where I’ll be when we make love every night
There’s nothin’ we can do
We’re bound through and through
So glad you feel what I feel for you
