Half empty Half a fool

V-1
Well she played me, like an old pawnshop guitar
She broke the strings on my simple minded heart
 And she told me, so many things that weren’t true
And I keep holding on to something, not worth holding on to

Chorus
And I’m staring in a looking glass
Don’t know whos looking back
All I see’s a man Dazed and confused
Cant even recognize
The optimism in my eyes
Cause she left me, half empty and half a fool

V
Now I’m looking at, the middle of this bottle
That liquor line is getting lower with each swallow
And when its gone will her memory finally die
Or will I open up another one, since I’ve still got half a mind

Chorus
And I’m staring in that old shot glass
There I am looking back
Shell of a man Drunk and confused
Starting to recognize 
The pessimism in my eyes
Cause she left me, half empty, and half a fool

Bridge
Everything in life
Is just a point of view
And hope and doubt
Are the roads that we choose

Chorus
And I’m staring at our wedding glass
A promise with a faded past
Together were one, divided were thru
Our initials are inscribed
Even though our love has died
Cause she left me half empty and half a fool

Half Empty

V
He looked worn and rugged and had a gray goatee
a ponytail, a weathered smile and a vagabond degree
First time that I met him, was a few years before he passed
He told me fame and fortune was a flame that just don’t last

Chorus
One minute your on top of the mountain looking down on the sky
then you know a few years disappear in a blink of an eye
One minute your floating, next your groveling on the ground
It ebbs and flows, that’s the way it goes, in lifes ….ups and downs

V
He’d play some songs on Tuesdays at the happy duck cafe
We’d go out back to burn one and hed talked about the glory days
He played guitar for big time stars in front of sold out crowds
Now he sings for tips and he’s come to grips in the local writers round

Old Cars And Broken Hearts

End of the road

Been fighting the rain and the fog, 10 miles out of castle Rock
And it aint getting easier, I can feel the cold and frost
ice like a mirror on the black top, I see the rain is freezing
Chorus
But it aint gonna stop me no how
It aint gonna slow me down
Every mile I inch closer to home
Where I know you’ll be waiting, waiting, waiting, at the end of the road
V-2
Made my stop in telluride, gonna split the great divide
On my midnight express, got one more load to drop 
Sliding down the rocky top, and its full steam ahead
Chorus
V-3
Just crossed into Tennessee, roads closed far as I can see
Gotta take a backroad route, one more hill to climb
Just dodged a bad landslide, And I’m driving through these foggy clouds
Chorus

End Of The Road

Strange Angel
Fekkos and Measel

He looked like he was homeless, walking home all alone
When he came across this stray dog, gnawing on a dried-up bone
He gave him half his sandwich, and that old dog wolfed it down
Then he followed that old man right back to his house
That man he gave him water, washed the dirt off his back
And he put on a brand-new collar and the dog laid in his lap

Chorus
Such strange angel, The right place the right time
Such a strange angel, a blessing in disguise
You never see it coming, but you always end of grateful
for a strange angel

Two days later he took his new friend down the street for a walk
Then he saw a poster on a pole, with a number, said Lost dog
There wasn’t any doubt that his new friend had a home
Although it broke his heart, he pulled out his phone
The family came to meet him and the dog he squirmed around
Reunited with his family the old man didn’t make a sound

They turned to take their dog but he grabbed the old man’s sleeve
He pulled him toward his family, didn’t want his friend to leave
Now the man comes round every couple days and for dinner with those folks
And he takes his friend for a walk, and spends time at their home
He might have saved the dog from living on his own
But that dog saved him from being all alone

Strange Angel

Sunny on the inside
Alex Fekkos ©2021 Feb

V-1
I’ve seen better days around me; I’ve had better ways surround me
There’s so many things I can’t control
Sometimes I feel like a lost ship, holding on but I’m losing my grip
Sinking into a black hole

Chorus
I stay sunny on the inside, keep the rainclouds out
No matter how heavy it gets, I don’t let it keep me down
I stay sunny on the inside; I’ll always keep it warm
Find my center of gravity and weather every storm
No matter how bad it gets, I’m thankful for the ride
I might bend but I wont break, cause I’ll stay sunny on the inside

V-2
You can cry and say that life aint fair, throw your hands up in the air
Mope around and always piss and moan
We get to choose how we feel, let me tell you that its real
Your attitude is yours and yours alone
