They Tell You What You Want To Hear

So tired

So tired of this endless pursuit

So tired of a love that's untrue

So tired of chasing you

Honey you got it all twisted up

You're out late every night

You don't care what you're doing us

Girl I gotta tell you right now

This heart of mine can't take it much more

Girl your cheating is killing my soul

Now you think that know it all

They tell you what you want to hear

Always keeping your emotions in a spin

Leave you when they get what they want

Girl if they get their way it will never end

I was there for you from the start

Told you, you had all of my heart

But you never took hold of the dream

Honey in our love I did believe

But you just keep leading me on

Girl your indecision is killing my soul

Never had a love

That keeps me soul in the dark

Never had a love

That keeps my heart in the cold

Girl never had a love quite like you

But then again I’ve never been such a fool

So tired

So tired of this endless pursuit

So tired of a love that's untrue

So tired of playing the fool for you

So tired of chasing you

So tired of chasing you

Honey I’m so tired of chasing you

The Space Wanderer

I feel like a Space Wanderer looking for a place to for food and shelter. Never settling for what would work to lay this cold, tired celestial body at ease. My everlasting search for what my mind sees as the finally resting place is troubled with vast black space that sometimes fogs the path. The universal winds are not kind at times blowing me off course sporadically, but I again return to my quest vigilantly. The time is long and the suns are too few between the welcome warmth of their light. I gather my information about what in this system now in each of them. A never ending task that drains my soul as I leave a part of me to anyone that may cross my path. A desperate hope at best thinking there may be another like me, somewhere, wandering as I do. Perhaps they are my salvation, my transcendence, my opposite and maybe, just maybe the one thing that may make me complete or end this nightmare. The stars never seem to fade but they tease me as I gaze upon then in silence, the last time I have spoken has been a millennium ago. The very day I set out on this quest, leaving what I knew for the heavy black abyss. My beginning full of hope after what now seems such a short time to create my vessel. In the first days new planets and systems I looked forward to with anticipation, but now I do not give false hope to myself. I save that energy now, for it cannot be spared as I have not much left. My time I know is coming to an end soon enough as each passing day and system drains my hope. There is no deity in space to pray to, besides they could never hear you. If only I could return to the simple naivety of ignorance in the first years of my existence. The smiles and love that was shared now just a speck of space dust that has never repeated along the endless routes of this exploration. Am I the experiment, am I the space monkey lost to never return, an acceptable loss as they shifted to a new light. Do they even remember me? What they sent me out here for? It's been so long since the last transmission, could they have done the ultimate sin and now I am the last seed, the last hope for what was not is? Is there any reason to go any farther already past the point of return? The mind plays tricks on the body and soul here in the darkness, the light changes and gathers form pretending to answer the dreams of the loneliness that is like a virus or parasite that bores into my mind. Maybe this new system will bring an end and I gaze upon this Big Blue Ball. Such a marvelous contrast to the blackened abyss, it looks warm and inviting from afar glistening like the "Eye of the Universe". Perhaps this I will call home. I will name it "Earth" for is the truly the last seed of hope I have found in the Universe.

Push Me On The Old Tree Swing

The rain has stopped

The clouds have cleared away

It's promising a day of fun

Listen to the rising sun

So reaching out to me and you

It's warmth from the sky so blue

It's gonna be a brand new day

There's nothing you or I can say

To bring it down to the ground

Except to accept its playful call

So get up and greet it one and all

Skip to my Lou wont you too

Push me on the old tree swing

Find me with your Marco Polo

Will you count on the counting tree?

When we play hide n seek

And if I win will you sing

Ole Ole Ox you all are free

So much fun in the sun

We hate to see it when it's done

The colors of the dusk do run

Waiting for our hotdog buns

The kids still wearing their ice cream feast

While the night gives the perfect breeze

Sitting by the bright camp fire

Stoking it so it won't burn down

Nothing like the stories told

Finally time to for it end

So it can all begin again

Skip to my Lou wont you too ?

Push me on the old tree swing

Find me with your Marco Polo

Will you count on the counting tree?

When we play hide n seek

And if I win will you sing

Ole Ole Ox you all are free

The rain has stopped

The clouds have cleared away

It's promising a day of fun

On The Edge

Standing on the edge

There's only one way down

I can't go back

No not now

Grasping for the last straw

Lost my will lost it all

This shattered dream

Can't list them all

Can't resist this felling

I'm about to fall

Like the air fancy free

My life before me I do see

It's not what it's supposed to be

It's got me praying on my knees

Next time when I return

Maybe I’ll have something to believe

Whispered words with no grace

They hurt the heart and the soul

Leaves you in the rain feeling cold

Don't touch me when I’m in this place

Darkness fell with your kiss

Drove me to this black abyss

You false light never saved the day

Now the chips are where they lay

So starving for some love

Praying to the ones above

Never getting what I deserve

You make me lose my nerve

Holding on to some thread of hope

Knowing now there is no scope

Looking down there is no end

Feeling the roundness of the ledge

No way to return to the life I lead

The time to falter has done passed

Leaping head first is my path

There's only one way down

And I can't go back

No not now

There is no past

This Love This Love This Love

This Love This Love This Love

All alone again

By myself with no friends

What's this life all about?

If you can't be with the one

You want to love

So many manic memories

They plaque my dreams

Every night when I sleep

We had our ups and downs

Too many right and wrongs

So many they made us weep

Now that you're gone

This heart of mine

Cries for you all the time

How am I gonna live

How am I gonna carry on

Oh I need to move on

Ya I need...ya i need

Ya I need to be moving on

Girl I can’t waste my life on you anymore

Even though it's always been you I adore

Your love...your love...your love

Something's inside me

Oh I got to be... I need to be

Moving on...ya moving on

Ya moving on

On and on and on

Girl

No matter how hard I try

To turn back the hands of time

There's nowhere for me to go

There's nowhere for me to run and hide

You're in my heart

You're in my soul

There's nowhere for me to go

There's nowhere for me to go

There's no sleep for me

There's nowhere to run

There's nowhere to hide

Oh but I need your love

I want your love

I live for your love

There's nothing like your love

Your love...your love...your love

Something's inside me

It's got a hold of me

Oh I got to be... Oh I need to be

By your side...can't run and hide

If I could only have you here with me

Just one more time

I would tell you dear

What's this life all about?

If you can't be with the ones

You want to love

You need to love

We need our love

Can't live without our love

Love...love...love...love

Love

So honey don't you run and hide

Ya we'll have our ups and downs

We'll have our right and wrongs

Ya they will make us weep

They may haunt our sleep

But in you I believe

I believe...I believe...I believe

In you I believe

This is love...this is love

This is love

Honey don't you cry

I'm right here by your side

I'm not moving on

Girl I’m here to stay

You're here to stay

Honey don't you cry

Honey don't you cry

Honey don't you cry

Don't you cry

Don't you cry

Don't you cry

My love is for you

My love is for you

You know it's true

Love...love...love...love...love
