I loved the way she looked in blue jeans
And the way she sang her song
Every night I played, she tagged along
She was young, wild, and free
When she made a man of me
I can’t believe Dusty’s gone away

Making love or making music
She always took my breath away
Don’t know why, I always thought she’d stay
Never thought our love was wrong
Never felt a love so strong
I can’t believe Dusty’s gone away

I see her face between the rain 
Lookin’ back at me
And can’t forget her ruby lips 
And what she did for me

Getting’ drunk on cheap tequila
Playing music all night long
What the hell, we kept goin’ strong
Rockin’ hard and dancing slow
The sweetest times I’ll ever know
I can’t believe Dusty’s gone away

I see her body in my mind
Like it was yesterday
I wonder who she’s lovin’ now
And why she went away

I can’t help but think about her
When I hear that midnight train
Late at night, I still call her name
Like a wind that’s come and gone
A wisp of smoke, a touch of dawn
I can’t believe Dusty’s gone away

Falling rain on the wind.
I see her laughing out in the night
Somewhere under a neon light
With her heart in her hand
In the arms of her man,
She’s spinning ‘round and ‘round in the windowpane
As the band plays on in the falling rain

Falling rain in the night
A stranger tapping my windowpane
Where solitaire is the only game
For a table of one faced away from the sun
Watching the fire and smoke of a circus train
Race across the sky in the falling rain

Look down any lonely street
And you’ll find someone like me,
Nowhere faces, silent feet wrapped up in memory.
Long past glories, tarnished crowns,
Brown-eyed kings, brown-eyed clowns,
Where love is lost and never found
And Mary goes spinning round
And Mary goes spinning round

Falling rain in the dark.
The midnight clock is still passing time
And she’ll the only thing on my mind.
With the wind in her hair,
Whispers soft on the stair.
She’s spinning ‘round and ‘round 
In the windowpane 
While the band plays on the falling rain.

Falling Rain

"How Sweet the Sound" is the second single of Luke James Shaffer's upcoming EP in association with House Music Group. It's a song about the beauty of finding everything you ever hoped for in someone, that you never knew existed until the moment they become a part of your life.

Written on a beautiful afternoon last summer with a whiskey in one hand and a guitar in the other. This was one of those songs that kind of just spilled out onto pen and paper. Co-written with Daniel Strauch at House Studios in DC. It was a wonderful moment that turned into a beautiful song.

Volume One

How Sweet the Sound

Songwriter: Billy Wells.

I miss the songs we used to play,
The plans we made along the way,
So many words I meant to say
Before love slipped away.

I miss the nights we used to feel,
The fantasies that seemed so real,
So many dreams I used to dream 
Before love slipped away.

Every page of yesterday
Is like a long lost friend.
If only we could find a way
To fall in love again.

Where are the stars we wished upon
When all our dreams had just begun?
We thought the best was yet to come
Before love slipped away.

Produced by Mike Mandel. Vocals by Sean Sullivan

Before Love Slipped Away

Songwriters: (c) 2018 Norman Kerner (BMI) & Billy Wells, (ASCAP) 

Let’s outrun forever and never look back
Cast off the troubles life placed in our tracks
There’s so many tomorrows and places to see
Take my hand so we can be free
To become all we can be

Let’s outrun forever
The future is now
I’m not an expert but I’ll show you how
We must seize the moment as fast as we can
Spread your wings and please take me hand
The world is at our command

Who knows how far we can climb
And what magic we can find

Let’s outrun forever, the world’s ours to share
Our fortunes are waiting for us if we dare
There are so many wonders we’ve never seen
We can have all we can dream
Once we learn to believe

Producer/keyboards: Wil Houchens, Singer: Mike Lusk.


Outrun Forever

Songwriter: Billy Wells

Slow down, take a look at what we’ve come to
If something’s wrong, we can make it right
Up ahead there’s another town to run to
Take my hand and hold on tight
Forget what the people say
I know we’ll find our way

No matter what we’re goin’ through
I’ll always love you
I want to live my life with you

Don’t let the past be an obsession
We can’t give up without a fight
Someday soon we’ll find our slice of heaven
Up ahead there’s a brand new life
Don’t let the passion die
Let’s give love one more try

I’d swim the deep blue sea for you
Climb every mountain too
I want to live my life with you

If we could only walk again the streets of yesterday
I believe we could find the love we lost along the way

All I want is for us to stay together 
Can’t you say what’s been on your mind
The love I need is the kind that lasts forever
Dim the lights and let our love shine
I’ll never set you free
You mean the world to me

I want to live my life with you
You know I need you
I need to know you need me too.
I’ve always loved you
I believe we can work it out
I don’t want someone new
I want to live my life with you
