The Watering Hole 4:52
Now he stops
by the watering hole fills his hat with water
Before he
puts it on his head he stares and ponders the road he did wander
What does it
matter now all his friends are gone at least the ones that shared the bottle
He keeps his
parchments alive tells his stories to no one but just in case he dies
There’s a
record of his life but for now he walks a line on his path of adventure
Shares the
time with whoever he finds at the watering hole beyond the shadows
A man appears
there's a nowhere man out in the prairie with his hat in his hand
The other on
the bridle wipes the sweat from his head before it drips to the ground
His life
flashes before him not enough time not enough money not enough patience
To make her
mine (Repeat)

Dark Cloud
There's a
dark cloud over there there's a dark cloud over there
They say
every dark cloud has a silver lining
For crying
out loud show me one I’m dieing
They say
Calvary happen on a dark cloudy day
The storm was
over and the soul has risen and the clouds
Parted and
the price was paid and he will return some day
Now the
Christ has risen and the sins are forgiven
But the storm
still comes and takes the day
There’s a
dark cloud over there there beating the war drums
And cast the
souls in stone i have seen the light
I tell you i
don't believe all sins are forgiven least I
Say about it
cause even though the man has risen that
Sits to the
right of the father thou sins are forgiven
He come to
judge the living and the death truly will fall upon
The ones that
made the dark cloud there dwelling place
There’s a
dark cloud upon us
They say
every dark cloud has a silver lining
For crying
out loud show me one I’m dieing
They say
Calvary happen on a dark cloudy day
The storm was
over when the soul has risen and the clouds
Parted and
the price was paid and he will return some day
Now the
Christ has risen and the sins are forgiven
But the storm
still comes and takes the day
There’s a
dark cloud near there there’s a dark cloud over there
There beating
the war drums
And cast the
soul in stone I have seen the light
I tell you I
don't believe all sins are forgiven least I
Say about it
cause even though the man has risen that
Sits to the
right of the father thou sins are forgiven
he comes to
judge the living and the death truly will
fall upon
the ones that
made the dark cloud there dwelling place
yes death
will surely come to the ones who make the dark
cloud there
dwelling place

Sunbeams
Are the
clouds taken over now at least i can see some sunbeams
Over there
they look like silver angel hair i want to make a song about it
As heavenly
as it is the funny thing I’m writing and taking pictures in real time
I wonder if
he knows I can see his majesty of course he does I gotta sing
A song about
it he’s really taking me there he's taking me there
And I wonder
if anyone can see what I can see could I be lucky enough
To have a
bird fly right through it that would be like cupid's arrow
Magically I’m
singing a song about it while its happening to me
I wonder will
that really make him happy what a sight to see I really really
Cant believe
my eyes as i look outside and see the sky up there
He’s showing
me it really looks likes heaven are the clouds taken over now
At least I
can see some sunbeams over there they look like silver angel hair
I want to
make a song about it as heavenly as it is the funny thing is
I'm writing
and taking pictures in real time I wonder if he knows
I can see his
majesty of course he does I gota sing a song about it
He’s really
taking me there he's taking me there
And i wonder
if anyone can see what I can see could I be lucky
Enough to
have a bird fly right through it that would be like
Cupid’s arrow
magically I’m singing a song about it while its happening to me
I wonder will that really make him happy
its really something to see
If heaven
looks like this than its truly heavenly

Painting the Minds Eye
They have faces they have faces like Jules colors like rainbows and candy canes
what's in her paintings that touch your eyes what's in the eyes of lovers there's a gentle nature about them but they're full of life faces like Jules to the eyes like a new sunset everyone different but a surprise lady with magic about her mixing spells with colors how does she do it I wonder someone told me she's legally blind what do you think about it I said to myself coincidentally she shares a meaning with me you see I’m a songwriter that can't write what a beautiful thing she can paint those painting she can paint those paintings half blind what makes it to sunshine their beautiful to the eyes now you might think it sad that she has a problem seeing but you should remember this she sees them with the minds eye faces like Jules colors like rainbows and candy canes faces like Jules what's in her paintings that touches your eyes what's in the eyes of lovers there's a gentle nature about them but they're full of life to the eye like a new sunset but everyone different but a surprise lady with magic about her mixing spells with colors how does she do it I wonder someone told me she's legally blind what do you think about it I said to myself coincidentally she shares a meaning with mine you see I’m a songwriter that can't write  |

If I Let You Down
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BziA5pNzEesROWt1Y2lES1dkNW8/view?usp=sharing
If I Let you down it kills me so I just want to say I’m sorry before I go
If I Let you
down it kills me so I just want to say I’m sorry before I go
It wasn’t the
first time he said I love you he thought it was the last
Before he
would go but he beat that heart attack a long time ago
17 years
later was the final blow now I'm his age the first time
About to turn
the page on my own when I think about him it and how it goes
Even though i
know he loved me I wana know
You see my
dad and me were allot alike we would both fight at the drop of a dime
But he had
his way and I had mine we just didn’t see eye to eye
Now I got a
son of my own even though I’m not perfect I tell him but he knows
I guess when
you only have one it makes it easy
You have more
time to let him know but for all the dads out there including me
Sometime I
love you is not enough you have to say I'm sorry if I let you down
I'm not
perfect I did the best I could I just wish he would of wrote it down
That’s why I
telling you in this song It wasn’t the first time he said I love you
He thought it
was the last before he would go but he beat that heart attack
A long time
ago 17 years later was the final blow
Now I'm his
age the first time around about to turn the page on my own

Did He Give Up
|
Or is he trying to find himself in the wind
I ask myself in the cold outside yae its cold out here
But its its colder inside sometimes I told myself i know i
know
Do you push the river or do you let go and let the falls
Take you down river you know that’s always been the
question
But the nature you know always changes with the wind it
comes
And it goes and there's a calm before a storm
Why should it be different for you and me i used to think
it unfair
Fait is truly a fickle thing but without it there's no
road
The only thing you can do is choose your river and hope
someday
It go to sea cause a river to nowhere is a dust bowl
A river to nowhere is truly a dustbowl Did he give up
inside
Or is he trying to find himself in the wind
I ask myself in the cold outside yes its cold out here
But its its colder inside sometimes I told myself i know i
know
Do you push the river or do you let go and let the falls
Take you down the river you know that’s always been the
question
But that’s the nature of things you know its always
changes
With the wind and tide it comes and it goes and there's a
calm
Before a storm why should it be different for you and me
i used to think it unfair but fait is truly fickle
But without it there's no road the only thing you can do
Is choose your river and hope someday it goes to sea
Cause a river to nowhere is dust bowl
a river to nowhere is truly a dustbowl

I Went Out Today
I went out today hunting for a dream most
things hibernate
Even the grass vegetates in the winter wind
the grass has died
Waiting for the spring to arrive but way up
high toward the sky one that is born
In a winters storm while everything's on
hold there's a dream is born
And it won't be long before he puts out a
cry to let you know he rules the sky
Yes high in that tree there's an eagle you
see and her young are born mid-winter
Now the ice and snow has a winters glow and
it's cold as hell in the water
But for the ducks and geese the fish in the
creek most days it's like heaven
I was hunting for a dream and I found it out
here in the eagle and the duck
Fish and geese and once in a while in a face
the seems to smile in the foxes
I went out today hunting for a dream most
things hibernate
Even the grass vegetates in the winter wind the
grass has died
Waiting for the spring to arrive but way up
high toward the sky one that is born
In a winters storm while everything's on
hold there's a dream is born
And it won't be long before he…

I Woke Singing
I woke the other day I was singing a song all the words were in my head
What a beautiful song did an angel plant it
there it just rolled off my tongue
And the way that I felt that day was like no
other day it was like I learned
A lesson without studying my lines then I looked
outside the sun
Across the meadows the breeze across the
water
This was truly a day that nature had made
for a song
So I wrote it down and the words in my head
and she sang it along
The birds the bees the trees and the
sparrows
And before the day was done I said to myself
it don’t get better than this
I said to myself it don’t get better than
this
I woke the other day I was singing a song
all the words were in my head
What a beautiful song did an angel plant it
there it just rolled off my tongue
And the way that I felt that day was like no
other day it was like I learned
A lessen without studying my lines then I
looked outside the sun
Across the meadows the breeze across the
water
This was truly a day that nature had made
for a song
So I wrote it down all the words in my head
and she sang it along
The birds the trees the sparrows and the
bees
And before the day was done I said to myself
it don’t get better than this
It don’t get better than this

Road Less Traveled
You can find him seeking shadows on the edge
of town where the river flows
He took the highway ta hell to the road less
traveled to swim in forgotten memories
He took the highway ta hell to the road less
traveled to swim in forgotten memories
And there's a lady there opening doors to
heaven and she's got golden hair
And the road to heaven has no hell so
there's no end to the road to heaven
Yes there is no end to the road to heaven
cause there is no hell
So I'll be taken I'll be taken that journey
that never ends and I won't be back yes I won't be back again cause the high
way to hell plays over and over again
And the journey you see is always free to
touch and see and feel what is free And if you wont to bear witness to the
yes the road less traveled is the road For me yes the road less traveled is
the road for me
You can find him seeking shadows on the edge
of town where the river flows

Gravity
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BziA5pNzEesRSVdyaXNlU2lyNnM/view?usp=sharing
It’s the gravity of the situation does it
pull me does it push me
Does it keep me where I am I know about it
all I can see clearly in who I am
Just a man writing down who I am in my songs
to come to a place to release me
From the things that hold me down but more
than this to search where I Can
To find where I'm drawn To as this man To
find where I'm drawn To as this man
I've come here many of time to clear my mind
now more than likely
I brought something with me to write it down
in rhyme and reason
Sometimes about the seasons and I come away
a better man
Even my writings turn into a song but today
is special
Today is more than a feeling today I look
beyond the stars
To see where I am to see what holds me
Jupiter or Mars
It’s the gravity of the situation does it
pull me does it push me
Does it keep me where I am I know more about
it and I can see clearly in who I am
Just a man writing down who I am in my songs
to come to a place to release me
From the things that hold me down but more
than this to search where I Can
To find what I'm drawn To as this man I've
come here many of time

I brought something with me to write it down
in rhyme and reason
Sometimes about the seasons and I come away
a better man
Even my writings turn into a song but today
is special day
Today is more than a feeling today I look
beyond the stars
To see where I am to see what holds me Jupiter

Oh no matter the reason if only you if only
me if only we can be forever in the end
It's just a thing but time goes by and
there's a different matter
So don’t believe in things you cannot change
but believe me when I say
The old saying is true what don’t kill you
makes you stronger in time
And you might find yourself saying if not
that it happen I would not be here now
Don’t you believe it it's not just wasted
time you carry it with you but you don’t have To look at it that way it's not
just wasted time don’t let a moment shape forever
Take your time with a pill of mine look at
the glass its half-filled
You can even find some sunshine on a cloudy
day just drift away and let it go
Don’t let it take you down you don’t have to
weather it forever
To forgive or be forgiven the path is the
same it's all about blame and so the world Goes round no matter the force no
matter the reason if only you if only me if only we Can be forever in the end
It's just a thing but time goes by and there's a different Matter So don’t
believe in things you cannot change but believe me when I say
The old saying is true what don’t kill you
makes you stronger in time
And you might find yourself saying if not
that it happen I would not be here now

I ask myself why can't I fly in the sun like
the rays from a chapel from the stain glass Windows in my eye I wonder why I
wonder why I wonder why if I took to the sky And started to fly would you
wonder why would you see how high that I fly would You ask yourself why now I
say to you man if I stood in the sun soaking up the rays With my arms stretch
out wide with a smile on my face would you wonder the place Would you ask
yourself why would you lay in the sun do you worship him some
Would you ask yourself why now listen man
I'm down on my knees
I look at the sky and say to the lord and
ask myself why can't I fly
In the sun like the rays in a chapel from
the stain glass windows in my eye why why why if I took to the sky and
started to fly would you wonder why would you see How high that I fly would you
ask yourself why now I say to you man if I stood in the Sun soaking up the
rays with my arms stretch out wide with a smile on my face Would you wonder
the place would you ask yourself why would you lay in the sun Do you worship
him some
Would you ask yourself why why now listen
man I'm down on my knees
I look to the sky and say to the lord and
ask myself why can't I fly in the sun like the Rays in a chapel from the
stain glass windows in my eye
