    I Will Follow You Into The Dark

    May 31, 2011

    Love of mine some day you will die
    But I’ll be close behind
    I’ll follow you into the dark

    No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
    Just our hands clasped so tight
    Waiting for the hint of a spark
    If Heaven and Hell decide
    That they both are satisfied
    Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs

    If there’s no one beside you
    When your soul embarks
    Then I’ll follow you into the dark

    In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule
    I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black
    And I held my tongue as she told me
    “Son fear is the heart of love”
    So I never went back

    If Heaven and Hell decide
    That they both are satisfied
    Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs

    If there’s no one beside you
    When your soul embarks
    Then I’ll follow you into the dark

    You and me have seen everything to see
    From Bangkok to Calgary
    And the soles of your shoes are all worn down
    The time for sleep is now
    It’s nothing to cry about
    ’cause we’ll hold each other soon
    In the blackest of rooms

    If Heaven and Hell decide
    That they both are satisfied
    Illuminate the No’s on their vacancy signs

    If there’s no one beside you
    When your soul embarks
    Then I’ll follow you into the dark
    Then I’ll follow you into the dark

    The Best That You Can Do Is Fall In Love

    November 1, 2010

    Confused, tired and hurt. The best that I can do now is fall in love.

    Christopher Cross – Arthur’s Theme (Best That You Can Do)

    Once in your life you find her
    Someone that turns your heart around
    And next thing you know you’re closing down the town
    Wake up and it’s still with you
    Even though you left her way across town
    Wondering to yourself, “Hey, what’ve I found?”

    When you get caught between the Moon and New York City
    I know it’s crazy, but it’s true
    If you get caught between the Moon and New York City
    The best that you can do ……
    The best that you can do is fall in love

    Arthur he does as he pleases
    All of his life, he’s mastered choice
    Deep in his heart, he’s just, he’s just a boy
    Living his life one day at a time
    And showing himself a really good time
    Laughing about the way they want him to be

    When you get caught between the Moon and New York City
    I know it’s crazy, but it’s true
    If you get caught between the Moon and New York City
    The best that you can do …..
    The best that you can do is fall in love

    When you get caught between the Moon and New York City
    I know it’s crazy, but it’s true
    If you get caught between the Moon and New York City
    The best that you can do …..
    The best that you can do is fall in love

    Need You Now

    May 28, 2010

    Picture perfect memories scattered all around the floor
    Reachin’ for the phone ’cause I can’t fight it anymore
    And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
    For me it happens all the time

    It’s a quarter after one, I’m all alone and I need you now
    Said I wouldn’t call but I lost all control and I need you now
    And I don’t know how I can do without
    I just need you now

    Another shot of whiskey can’t stop looking at the door
    Wishing you’d come sweeping in the way you did before
    And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
    For me it happens all the time

    It’s a quarter after one, I’m a little drunk and I need you now
    Said I wouldn’t call but I lost all control and I need you now
    And I don’t know how I can do without
    I just need you now

    woah woaaah.

    Guess I’d rather hurt than feel nothin’ at all

    It’s a quarter after one I’m all alone and I need you now

    And I said I wouldn’t call but I’m a little drunk and I need you now

    And I don’t know how I can do without

    I just need you now

    I just need you now (wait)

    Ooo, baby, I need you now

    Last Night’s Dream

    February 13, 2010

    DreamsLast night’s dream reminded me of a certain song’s lyrics:

    I?m here without you baby
    but your still on my lonely mind
    I think about you baby
    and I dream about you all the time
    I?m here without you baby
    but your still with me in my dreams
    And tonight girl it?s only you and me

    My Ghost

    November 15, 2009

    9219_134366896414_42804221414_2939275_6738381_n

    Lovers come and lovers go,
    Once they lived but now they’re ghosts,
    Walking the streets they used to know like shadows.

    People disappear every hour and every year,
    Sometimes I believe they’re here like shadows,
    Like shadows.

    Who can you trust, in this place?
    And whom can I put my faith?
    If you’re real, then show me now,
    Who you are.

    How can I love, without grace?
    Shine a light on your face,
    If you’re real, then show me now,
    Who you are.

    Blowing like a secret wind,
    Pouring on my naked skin,
    Like a river flowing in the ocean.

    And when I turn to see your face,
    I saw a joy I could not place,
    Vanishing without a trace,
    Like a shadow in the sun.

    Who can you trust, in this place?
    Where can I put my face?
    If god is love, then why the world the way it is?

    How can I love, without grace?
    Shine a light on your face,
    If you’re real then show me now,
    Who you are.

    My ghost.

    A Comet Appears

    August 31, 2008

    One hand on this wily comet,
    Take a drink just to give me some weight,
    Some uber-man I’d make,
    I’m barely a vapor

    They shone a chlorine light on,
    A host of individual sins,
    Let’s carve my aging face off,
    Fetch us a knife,
    Start with my eyes,
    Down so the lines,
    Form a grimacing smile,

    Close your eyes to corral a virtue,
    Is this fooling anyone else?
    Never worked so long and hard,
    To cement a failure,

    We can blow on our thumbs and posture,
    But the lonely is such delicate things,
    The wind from a wasp could blow them,
    Into the sea,
    With stones on their feet,
    Lost to the light and the loving we need,

    Still to come,
    The worst part and you know it,
    There is a numbness,
    In your heart and it’s growing,

    With burnt sage and a forest of bygones,
    I click my heels,
    Get the devils in line,
    A list of things I could lay the blame on,
    Might give me a way out,

    But with each turn,
    It’s this front and center,
    Like a dart stuck square in your eye,
    Every post you can hitch your faith on,
    Is a pie in the sky,
    Chock full of lies,
    A tool we devise,
    To make sinking stones fly,

    And still to come,
    The worst part and you know it,
    There is a numbness,
    In your heart and it’s growing.

    Those Were The Days

    August 1, 2008

    This song sure brought back a lot of memories:

    Those were the days.

    Once upon a time, there was a tavern
Where we used to raise a glass or two
Remember how we laughed away the hours,
Think of all the great things we would do

Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we'd choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way

La La La La La La
La La La La La La
La La La La La La La La La La

Then, the busy years went rushing by us
We lost our starry notions on the way
If, by chance, I'd see you in the tavern,
We'd smile at one another and we'd say

Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we'd choose
We'd fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days

La La La La La La
La La La La La La
La La La La La La La La La La

Just tonight, I stood before the tavern
Nothing seemed the way it used to be
In the glass, I saw a strange reflection
Was that lonely woman really me?

Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we'd choose
We'd fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days

La La La La La La
La La La La La La
La La La La La La La La La La
La La La La La La
La La La La La La
La La La La La La La La La La

Through the door, there came familiar laughter
I saw your face and heard you call my name
Oh, my friend, we're older but no wiser
For in our hearts, the dreams are still the same

Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we'd choose
We'd fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days

La La La La La La
La La La La La La
La La La La La La La La La La
La La La La La La
La La La La La La
La La La La La La La La La La

La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
