Come on, where are you my babe?
A

I gotta see you, if you think it's OK

I've waited so long, I hope it's the day
D

But I don't think it's gonna be
A

Yeah and I just wanna see you smile
A

If it wasn't for a million miles
A
D
Baby, I'm just sitting in my room
G
D
Like a flower that just wouldn't bloom
Sugar, I'm so all alone
Yeah, can I write you or call you up on the phone?
I've known you all my life, but I just didn't know
That I don't owe it anymore
Yeah and I just wanna see you smile
If it wasn't for a million miles
Baby, I'm just sitting in my room
Like a flower that just wouldn't bloom
And I just wanna see you smile
If it wasn't for a million miles
Baby, I'm just sitting in my room
Like a flower that just wouldn't bloom
Blossom, I wanna blossom
I wanna blossom
I wanna blossom
And I just wanna see you smile
If it wasn't for a million miles
Baby, I'm just sitting in my room
Like a flower that just wouldn't bloom
Blue Heron 2020
Once there was a dream
But it's gone away
Uncertainty has been
Lead to the fray
The poet is dead
But his memory remains
A blue heron on the uneven floor
A blue heron at the capitol door
A blue heron in love and in war
Where are the lovers? Animalized!
Where are the lovers? Set to the skies!
Where are the lovers? Now realized!
As a blue heron
As a blue heron
Open your mind
As you once did your arms
Hush the raging night
And its endless alarms
I'm drenched in the blood of my being
But its really of no meaning
A blue heron on the uneven floor
A blue heron at the capitol door
A blue heron in love and in war
Where are the lovers? Animalized!
Where are the lovers? Set to the skies!
Where are the lovers? Now realized!
As a blue heron
As a blue heron

I'm trying to find the bright part of your story
C

But it leaves me with the feeling of defeat
G

And yes I know it's really not my place to worry
Em

But you got too close, you got too close to me
C
And now I've gotta tell you
G

That I've never been more disappointed
C
I've gotta show you
G

That every time you fall behind it breaks my heart
C

So it's time somebody got hard on you
C
G
Am
G
Yes it's time somebody got hard on you
It's not for you, but for the ones that love you
Me I'm not one but I love the ones that do
And yes I know it's really not my place to change it
But I got too close, I got too close to you
And now I've gotta tell you
That I've never been more disappointed
I've gotta show you
That every time you fall behind it breaks my heart
So it's time somebody got hard on you
Yes it's time somebody got hard on you
It's time somebody got hard on you
Yes it's time somebody got hard on you

I let the engine idle just in case
You've got your feet up on the dash there
Your head thrown back, grinning face in the air
And we both pretend like we don't care
'Cause you're scared to say you're scared of shadows
So you better grab your gloves
We're both boxers, babe, we don't make love

I know that hawks don't share

You won't tell me what you see from way up there

The sea of sadness, she is starving
And you'll feed her frowns
Like a fool I'll follow, tenderly I'll drown
'Cause I've got a soft spot for your madness
And your fierce embrace
And the quiet violence in your face
I know that hawks don't share
You won't tell me what you see from way up there
Our wings will rust
And how cruel it is that we mistrust

Hunger Is A Dream You Die In 2016
Keeping on the lighter side of getting up and bleeding life
Hunger is a dream you die in
Needing it with all your heart and no way to slow or stop the starve
Hunger is a dream you die in
Something in you is not the same and there's no one to share the pain
Hunger is a dream you die in
And dreams wake when your done deciding
Shining faces or heavy pains
Eternal spirit or roaring flames
It's all the same no matter where you've been
Hunger is a dream you die in
Well I've been hungry all my life and nothing feeds my appetite
Hunger is a dream you die in
When the best of it comes true there's always more I need from you
Hunger is a dream you die in
One last time I make my rounds to find out what I'm still without
Hunger is a dream you die in
And dreams wake when your done deciding
Shining faces or heavy pains
Eternal spirit or roaring flames
It's all the same no matter where you've been
Hunger is a dream you die in
Ain't no harm in being free except for what it does to me
Hunger is a dream you die in
So come on let me shake your hand
And leave me standing as I am
The kind of man that understands
Hunger is a dream you die in
And dreams wake when your done deciding
Shining faces or heavy pains
Eternal spirit or roaring flames
It's all the same no matter where you've been
Hunger is a dream you die in

Roya, how I've searched the holy vessel for your chamber
A
F#m
How I've opened up to any given stranger
Am
E
Just to find you standing in some astral plane
A
B
Where there are no shadows
Roya, I am only but the memory of my body
I was searching all directions when you caught me
Laying breathless as I try to scream your name
Anywhere the wind would blow
A
E
Roya, my guardian of the soul
A
F#m
The empty days of old I think they're over
A
E
B
E
For I smell oleander from the grove
Roya, your spirit is a dream that reaches daylight
Blossoming inside you till it laid right on your tongue
To never tell no one what you told me
I can hear it singing now
Roya, my guardian of the soul
The empty days of old I think they're over
Yes I smell oleander from the grove
Time Forgot (To Change My Heart) 2011

I got trampled by my woman
G
C
I've been cheated and double-crossed
B7
Em
There was a cooing in the altar
B7
Em
I had a friend but he got lost
C
G
They say time can take the pain away
B7
Em
Because time changes everything
C
G
G
C
But time forgot to change my heart
C
G
B7
Em
Yes time forgot to change my heart
He took my woman into the country
And they had a baby girl
And she grew to look just like me
It's a mean and wicked world
So I took a train into that country
And I found their little shack
I went to drink until the sun set
And in the darkness I came back
But they say time can take the pain away...
Outside their window I was creeping
Wicked thoughts they filled my mind
And as my old friends laid there sleeping
I snuck in from behind
And I knelt down my baby's bedside
And I graced her lily face
Please listen to your mother dear
For your father's a disgrace
But she said time can take the pain away...

Toulouse, I ain't denying

'Cause I never had nothing
That was every worth something
Now I sure got a lot to lose

Oh-whoo, I'm a-talking to you (Oh I love you too)
G

And I'm a-gonna grab you tight and never hold you too loose

Walking Around Holding Hands 2021
Sometimes I wake up with an empty head
Sometimes I don't want to get out of bed
Sometimes my face gets really red
When you're around
Sometimes I don't want to put on my jeans
Don't want to shower, don't need to be clean
It's like I'm living in a permanent dream
With you baby
I never really want to do too much at all
There ain't a lot that I can stand
Come on baby, take me down to the mall
We'll go walking around holding hands
We'll go walking around holding hands
Don't want to skate at the ice cream rink
Don't want to use my little brain to think
Don't want to even wash my face in the sink
When you're around
Don't want to wear my boots in the dirt
Sometimes I don't want to put on a shirt
It's like I'm always playing hooky from work
With you baby
I never really want to do too much at all
There ain't a lot that I can stand
Come on baby, take me down to the mall
We'll go walking around holding hands
We'll go walking around holding hands
We'll go walking around holding hands
We'll go walking around holding hands
Where May I Take My Rest? 2020
In a cool pile of ashes
At the foot of the stairs
The gone robin's nest
In a million chairs
The dirt of the jungle
The stone that's submerged
The thorn in the bushes
On the wing of a bird
Where may I take my rest? (Feudal Lord!)
Where may I take my rest? (Feudal Lord!)
Where may I take my rest? (Feudal Lord!)
Contented and still
With my senses expressed
Oh, where may I take my rest?
In the darkness of morning
The arch in the park
The grasses of Germany
Are dewy and dark
In the cage of my longing
The deep empty well
How would I notice it?
How would I tell?
Where may I take my rest? (Feudal Lord!)
Where may I take my rest? (Feudal Lord!)
Where may I take my rest? (Feudal Lord!)
Contented and still
With my senses expressed
Oh, where may I take my rest?
On the dead moons of
Jupiter and it's curious world
Are stuck in a flower
All crooked and curled
In the bed of a lion
The bowels of a ship
Are my vain creations
Amounting to it
Where may I take my rest? (Feudal Lord!)
Where may I take my rest? (Feudal Lord!)
Where may I take my rest? (Feudal Lord!)
Contented and still
With my senses expressed
Oh, where may I take my rest?
