✍️ LYRICS ✍️

All this time
I’m running and hiding, keeping it all inside 
Can’t express myself
Overwhelmed as your teardrops swell
I’d give it all just to hold you in my arms 
Just to hold you, yeah

Look at what I’ve lost, baby 
Trail of blood I’m leaving 
Running from the law lately 
But I ain’t repeating 
Could’ve gone my way but 
Wouldn’t have a heartbeat 
What was I afraid of
When the times got hard 
Singing

All this time
I’m running and hiding, keeping it all inside 
Can’t express myself
Overwhelmed as your teardrops swell
I’d give it all just to hold you in my arms 
Just to hold you, yeah

Dodging all them bombs daily 
Damning all my demons 
Feeling all my flaws fading 
Ready for redeeming 
Could’ve gone astray but 
Then I met that concrete 
Nearly made a crater
Now the dust is gone 
Singing

All this time
I’m running and hiding, keeping it all inside 
Can’t express myself
Overwhelmed as your teardrops swell
I’d give it all just to hold you in my arms 
Just to hold you, yeah

(All this time)
(I’m running and hiding, keeping it all inside)
(Can’t express myself)
(Overwhelmed as your teardrops swell)

All this time
I’m running and hiding, keeping it all inside 
Can’t express myself
Overwhelmed as your teardrops swell
I’d give it all just to hold you in my arms 
Just to hold you

All This Time

Sunshine

[Verse]
Dust in the corners spin around
Frayed visions haunt this town
Shadows dance on the cracked ground
Broken hearts ain't nowhere found

[Verse 2]
Ghosts whisper on the air real low
Flickering lights in the afterglow
Promises made now lies we sow
Love’s just ashes never grow

[Chorus]
Oh the dust never settles here
Dreams fade every night disappear
Lost voices calling clear
Finding truth through shattered fear

[Verse 3]
Old roads lead to nowhere fast
Living memories of a reckless past
Every moment shattered glass
Time a ruthless outcast

[Bridge]
Smoke rising from the cold steel tracks
Railroad blood a fading black
Everything we lost we lack
Train never comes back

[Verse 4]
Streetlights flicker out their tune
Lonely howl of a midnight loon
We’re just shadows in the room
Fading light of a spent moon




Dust and Dreams - (I Love Vintage Vol.01)

The Tracks

A rollicking pub-folk tale of cheek, charm, and surrender.
He came ready to deal—boots laced, contracts stacked—
But one lass, one wink, and the whole plan fell to song.

This ballad’s for anyone who thought they were in charge,
until a grin rewrote the rules.

[LYRICS]

I came in sharp, all boots and pride,
Me contracts stacked, me tie pulled tight.
Had half a mind to hold me ground-
Till she walked in and spun me ’round.

She strolled in late with ease and sway,
A grin that near took breath away.
One glance, a wink, a crooked grin-
And I was hers ‘fore we’d begin.

It weren’t no storm, it weren’t no fight,
Just one small wink that claimed the night.
No terms were read, no deal to seal-
But I signed up for good and real.
Aye, that wink, it claimed the night!

I had a plan, a line to rehearse,
She blinked and cracked me solemn verse.
Me list of rules, all neat and right-
She laughed and knocked 'em out of sight.

She sipped her pint and cocked her head,
I lost the thread of what I said.
I tried to speak, she took me hand-
That wink rewrote what I had planned.

It weren’t no storm, it weren’t no fight,
Just one small wink that claimed the night.
No need for stamps, no dotted line-
I gave me word, and called it fine.
Aye, that wink, it claimed the night!

I’d brought me charts, me stance, me plan,  
She brought her heels and devil’s plan.  
And just like that, the tale was writ-
I reckon I ain’t changed one bit.

So here’s me heart, no lawyer’s fee-
Just take it, lass, and let it be.
A grin, a pint, a soft delight...
And that wee wink that claimed the night.

It weren’t no storm, it weren’t no fight,  
Just one small wink that claimed the night.  
No terms were read, no deal to seal-
But I signed up for good and real.  
Aye, that wink, it claimed the night!

Our Song (Marvin Shelton-ASCAP)

Verse 1
Do you want to write a song with me
Cuz' I'm only words, without your melody
We can play it fast, or we can go slow
Only time will tell how it's gonna go

Verse
In a couple of months, we'll have the verse
I'll either have you laughin', or make you wanna curse
But if you decide that you wanna stay mine
We'll be singing the chorus in the very next line

Chorus
'Cause this is our song, 
write it every day as we go along
Sing about the good times and the bad, 
all about the love that we have
'Cause this is our song, this is our song

Verse 2
You can bring me in with a gentle strum
Make my heart pound just like a drum
Every time we write another stanza
Oh, I just wanna raise my hands up

Chorus
'Cause this is our song, 
write it every day as we go along
Sing about the good times and the bad, 
all about the love that we have
'Cause this is our song, this is our song


Chorus
We'll sing about the good times and the bad, all about the love that we have
'Cause this is our song, this is our song

Outro
(Every time I hear our song, I just wanna sing along)
(Every time I hear our song, I just wanna sing along)
'Cause this is our song, write it every day as we go along
Sing about the good times and the bad, all about the love that we have
Yeah, this is our song
(Every time I hear our song, I just wanna sing along)
(Every time I hear our song, I just wanna sing along)
Yeah , this is our song
