"The sun has gone away
looks like it's going to stay that way
it's all I have to face today
feels like you've up and gone away

And here we are
wrapped in each other's pride
you hide behind the words
that I can't find that heal the hurt inside

It's better off this way
or everything would stay the same
what good is love if there is no pain
or nothing to restrain

To reconcile it made it him so afraid
and so was I and there was much to say"

"It's funny how we act
it’s funny how we laugh 
when we’re burying the pain
You can’t ignore the facts
it’s written on their backs
and their tears that fell like rain

In time you’ll forget
the swollen emptiness
but the bruises will remain
it takes just one time
in the blink of an eye
for the lives forever changed

So not to worry Mama
there’s no use living life
if life’s just gonna pass you by
so don’t you worry Mama
there’s no one coming after you
that’s not coming for me

The blinders off at last
so lets reel in the past
cause the past won’t go away
and I’m prepared to ask
the questions they won’t ask
if it helps in any way

I feel like I’ve been 
the lucky one and yet
I’m not sheltered from the shame
there’s no words to say
they won’t listen anyway
it’s a choice that they have made

So not to worry Mama
there’s no use living life 
it life’s just gonna pass you by
so don’t you worry Mama
there’s no one coming after you
that’s not coming for me"

"Everybody laughs when there's nothing left to do 
when there's nothing left to do
Haven't I the choice when there's nothing left to choose
when there's nothing left to choose
It's getting to the point I've got nothing left to loose
I've got nothing left to loose
There's no reason why I've got everyone but you
I've got everyone but you

But I was not lying
and I was not crying
and I was not fighting with you

There's nowhere left to hide
I just want to run away
I just want to run away
Where were you and I 
when the sun was made to fade
when the sun was made to fade

No one noticed I 
was left standing in the rain
was left standing in the rain
What's the use in trying
when there's nothing more to gain
when there's nothing more to gain

You see how it feels to follow me 
and walk my way
I think you might be surprised 
when you realize my pain"

But I was not lying
and I was no crying
and I was not fighting with you
and I won't stop lying 
and I won't stop crying
and I won't stop fighting with you

With You (Rehearsal 2007)

Piano ballad version of True Faith by New Order (Rehearsal 2007)  Click here for Lyrics.  Comment if you like and thanks for listening!  

I feel so extraordinary
something's got a hold on me
and I get this feeling I'm in motion
a sudden sense of liberty
and I don't care if I'm 
here next time

I used to think that the day would never come
see delight in the shade of the morning sun
the morning sun is the drug that brings me near
to the childhood I lost replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
and my life would depend on the morning sun

When I was a little girl
little girls would talk to me
now that we've grown up together 
they're afraid of what they see
and that's the price they pay
worthless destiny
and I think we've gone too far cause I

And I'm lost in your memory
there's nowhere to go
gone the feeling of home long ago
there's a feeling you've left me 
standing alone
in a world so demanding and all
my money you took and my time went along
gone the feeling of home long ago
there's a feeling you left me
standing alone

I used to think that the day would never come
and my life would depend on the morning sun
the morning sun is the drug that brings me near
to the childhood I lost replaced by fear

"What's all this talk about love
when you've never loved before
what makes you think this is love
was I knocking on your door

And it's days like this that make you cry
when you thought you couldn't cry anymore
and it's days like this you want to die
what's the use in fighting for love

And what makes you think you deserve me now
when I needed you weren't there
could you be more concerned with just yourself 
and no one else

What makes you think that you've changed
when you've never changed before
I'm dizzy from your little chase
cause that's all you want me for

My heart's not the same since you went
could you ask for anything more
it's shielded by all the scars you left
what's the use in fighting for love
what's the use in fighting for love

Cause it's an easy road to walk
if you've never walked before
but after just one step your lost
what'd you come here for

And what makes you think you deserve me now
when I needed you you weren't there
could you be more concerned with just yourself
and no one else
could you feel what I feel tonight
oh why should I care

What's all this talk about love


What Makes You Think (Rehearsal 2007)

How many times have I told you 
I'm sorry for all of the things 
that you do
and I was younger and lonely for someone to hold me
and saw only you
and I know it's not all of your fault how you act
you were raised to be cruel
you must be cruel to be kind 
you were raw and all mine 
and I suffered the view

but it's been 
time for a change
I'm older in so many ways
it's easy to be old without you
cause with dawn's another day

I've heard that same noise before
from that old kitchen door
and I thought that you'd left
I grabbed my keys and my purse 
and I swore and I cursed
that I'd never come back
and every step to my car
wasn't echoed by far
of the torture I felt
and how I'd sell my soul
for a place I could go
that would help me forget
that it's been...

You tell me that my kisses are cold
and I'm ugly and old
and then turn out the light
the words don't stick in your throat
like a memory of old
on a hot summer night
and on that damn dusty road
there's a turn that I know 
I would drop out of sight
so take a good look around
it's just me and the ground
that I'm leavin' behind

Cause it's been time for a change
I'm older in so many ways
it's easy to be old without you
cause with dawn's another day


Time For A Change

I walk around this place I call home
all alone
an open door a drawer nothing else
nothing more

But it’s alright
yes that’s what they told me
that it’s alright

I see your car drive by again
and again
and there’s something that sure looks like feet
neath the curtain
I find a knife that just might suffice
for a weapon

Cause it’s alright
won’t you come and get and what you came for
cause it’s alright

How do you think the stain will come out
of my rug
you grab his head and I’ll grab his feet
out of love
now do you think the police will take me
serious

Cause it’s alright
yes that’s what they told me
that it’s alright

and I came to you asking for your protection
but all your silly rules only qualified me for rejection
now tell me how is this al...



It's Alright

The first vocal piano song I wrote in 2000,  recording funded by a fan and put on here by request from another.  THANKS for listening! 

Candy Girl (2000)

I stopped playing music in 2007, but I considered myself a songwriter above anything else musical (pianist, guitarist).   One day perhaps I will license some of them to the appropriate performers to bring back to life. 

The songs here are taken mostly from a rehearsal session we recorded to help train a new guitarist.  None of us knew it would be our last opportunity to record these songs but I am glad to have them.  My best songs were never recorded. 

Until then, enjoy if you like and thanks for listening!
