Monumental Times

A Small Prayer

Let Us Sleep (single)

lucky to be 

talking about the cold cold wet winter    		
La Nina is promising to bring us this year   		
You say you don’t like wasting time on such small talk 	
But the weather keeps changing in such big big ways   	
And can you deny the size of those waves  		
Can not deny the size of these waves			

We’re shopping at Big Lots store closing sale
We’re looking for bargains on bargains on bargains
Its so much better than the zoo at the wallyworld
You won’t ever find me there on black Friday
But can you deny the size of those savings
You can not deny the size of those savings

We walked to MacDuff’s for a couple of beers 
We sat in the back while the band set up their gear
We snuck out the side door when they started to play
strolled home hand in hand under the moon in the sky
and can you deny the size of that satellite
I can not deny the size of that satellite
you can not deny
aren’t we 
Aren’t we so lucky to be 

I’m holding you tight under the covers
Here in my arms where you’re cozy and warm
And it doesn’t matter if it’s stormy outside
Here in my arms you can weather the storm
And can you deny the size of my love for you
Can not deny the size of my love for you
You can not deny the size of my love for you

Talking about the cold cold wet weather
La Nina is promising to bring us thing year 
You say you don’t mind the cold dark wet days
As long as together we can weather the storm
And can you deny the size of my love for you
Can not deny the size of my love for you
You can not deny the size of my love for you
You can not deny
Aren’t we 
aren’t we so lucky to be
Yes we’re so lucky to be

Lucky to Be

song that I composed in 2024 and was very short, barely without a decent ending....... so I decided to fix it and put together an ending as the song deserves with a longer version and some melodic changes.

Treading the road

Treading the road - Version Long 2025

thats a song for my boo
inspired from her lips on mine
now im in the mood,
my feelings wanna come out

when im with you, everything is so right
when i walk with you, baby baby i feel proud
just cause of you, i feel so
scoubidoubidoubidoubidapapeye
oh i feel so scoubidoubidoubidoubidapapeye

and i just cant let you go out
out of my mind!
and i just cant think of leaving
you behind
and i just cant ever imagine
telling you lies
oh baby baby please just kiss me
one more time

when im with you, everything is so right
when i walk with you, baby baby i feel proud
just cause of you, i feel so
scoubidoubidoubidoubidapapeye
oh i feel so scoubidoubidoubidoubidapapeye

Scoubidoubidapapeye

Scoubidoubidapapeye (Acoustic version)

Together at the beginning...

The woodchip, old atari, moths. 
Footsteps on the pavement.
The lemon curd, a kerb, sunny spots. 
A chip on my shoulder.
I can not list what I've forgot.
I was not reaching for the top.

You gave me the eyes to see?
You showed me the recipe?
There's a remedy for you.
Perhaps if you gave me clues.
Does any of this count for you?
Nothing I do is on you.
Learned the rules.
After school.

I, windchill. Long walks in the rain. 
High heels on the pavement.
A thunder storm, forgetting names. 
Laying down in the rain.
Not many start out with a lot.
It would be nice to have had a shot.

You gave me the eyes to see?
You showed me the recipe?
There's a remedy for you.
Perhaps if you gave me clues.
Does any of this count for you?
Nothing I do is on you.
Learned the rules.
After school.

ive got faith in my soul, and i dont need no arrow
ive got love in my home, i dont care if you follow

i was a little kid, and now im grown
its been a while ive been on my own
i tought i knew a lot of things about life
but nothing close to what we call right
the more you learn the more you know you dont know
humble yourself, prepare for tomorrow
help one another, remember each other
we re all ending up facing the mightyy father

ive got faith in my soul, say i and i need no throne
ive got love in my home, im not alone im not alone im not alone

people use to tell me if you want to be free
you have to work a lot and look up for money
the time you have in life is worth than gold
you ve gotta think twice before you get bold
dont you be afraid in the valley of shadow 
you can brake that stone with just one blow
they will call you maybe
they will call you crazy but

ive got faith in my soul, and i dont need no arrow
ive got love in my home, i dont care if you follow

Yes I

Im not alone
