I’M SORRY
(DWS 2021)

Some times I’m blind
and cannot see
But I still hear
the words coming out of me
and they haunt me to this day
I wish I had a chance to say   
I shoulda said
“I’m sorry.”

Don’t always know 
when I been wrong
sometimes too late
and the moment is gone
Hope it’s not too late
for you to hear me
I  wish I had a chance to say
I shoulda said
“I’m sorry.”

WELCOME TO MY DOMAIN

DWS(2013)

A girl sits in strawberry patches
eating wine and cheese
Under a tree
on a blanket
with her lover
watching a hair grow out of a mole 
on the inside of her thigh
He leans over and whispers into her ear
I love you very, very, very...

Welcome to my domain

welcome to my domain
wine and and cheese
he looks down at her and says
hey baby, that's some nice wine and cheese
I like the way that hair grows out of the mole
on the inside of your thigh
Cause I love ya very, very, very, very
And remember this above all else
I love you very, very, very, very...

Welcome to my domain

You see
there’s this little domain that I have
 
down here 

with a big hole in it

and

into that hole
pours all the things I never knew
and all the things I’ve ever known

pour it on in me now
pour it on out of me now

And I soaked it up

and 

changed the words
that you want to hear

until 

you don’t want to hear them 

anymore

Welcome to my domain

A boy playing out in the street
he’s kicking the ball up the street
and back down the street
and there’s his mother standing in the doorway
with a starched white dress on
and an apron
and a spoon
she leans down
and whispers into his ear
I love you very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, I love you so very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very...

BUY ME A DRINK
(DWS 2021)

When I got something to say
I say it loud
I never step down off of my cloud 
I don’t hesitate to say what I think
talk it over a while and you can buy me  a drink

On my cloud I see everything
Rain falls up and
Strife falls down
No answers here
questions are the day
Thought I had something more important to say

When I got nothing to say
I say it loud
I dont step on to someone else’s cloud 
I won’t hesitate to close my mouth down tight   
Try and keep it cool to avoid a fight

On my cloud I see everything
Rain falls up
Strife falls down
No answers here
questions are the day
Thought I had something more important to say

I WANT A NEW BRAIN
(DWS -2021)

I want a new brain
to drive my train
 I got a new hat
I’ll put it under that
 
Where can I find one?
down the street maybe Halloween?
How much will it cost me
I don’t care if it’s all the same   

I want a new brain
this one’s gone inane
Scarecrow told me  and said 
they’re all about the same

Why would I want one
and live it all over again?
It wouldn’t suit me
Some times my brain was not my friend

I want a new brain
this ones getting lame
I can’t understand 
why I don’t get in the game

I think it scares me
to think of all the thoughts pretend
I   might learn too much
cause my new brain to freeze again

HOW LONG
(DWS 2021)

How long must I stand in line or
Should I bide my time
and sell it to the ages   

How long should I be declined
Should I stand and fight or
leave it for the sages?

Its been too long 
its been too hard
and I’m too tired to stand my ground
Its been too long too hard

How long must I sing this song or 
should I quietly go and 
leave it for the ages

Too long for this uphill climb 
should I change my speed
and give up the right to answer

Its been too long 
its been too hard
and I’m too tired to stand my ground
Its been too long too hard

FATTY ROLLED OVER
(DWS - 2021)


I don't know but I’ve been told
a big legged woman ain’t got no soul 
you can push you can pull til your legs give in
wake up in the morning and do it again

I knew a guy by the name of Jim
he always swore that he could swim  
They found him at the bottom of the river bed
fatty rolled over and skinny was dead

I knew a girl by name of Marra
she always swore she could drive a carra
They found her out on route 66
seems she crashed while suckin’ d***s 

Fatty Rolled Over and Skinny was dead
Fatty Rolled over and Skinny died…

BLUE SKY UNDER
(DWS - 2021)

There’s a blue sky under
There’s a blue sky for you and me
There’s a blue sky under
and it's growing bigger everyday

A pie cools in the window 
the wind blows the heat away
a pie cools in the window
and it's ready for you and me

And even when its raining
I’m warm and dry with you
nothing can stop the moment
and nothing can get in our way

YOU’VE GOT A SWEET LOVE
(DWS - 2021)

You’ve got a sweet love
Before I learned my name
all things were not the same
it rolled and boiled
some think it was hard
You’ve got a sweet love

You’ve got a sweet love
No boot straps to pull up
just a ray of hope
Set to cruise control
and that’s not hard
You’ve got a sweet love

You’ve got a sweet love…

THE ONLY ONE
(DWS - 2022)

Some day,
Some day when my life is done
I’ll remember you as the only one

Some day
Some day I’ll realize what you’ve done for me
And I’ll love you like the only one

Some day
Some  day I’ll Hear your voice and sigh 
crying unashamed for my only one
 
Some day
Some day when my life is done
I’ll remember you as the only one

When I hear your voice I sing
all the little things that made every thing
Some day I’ll know what you have done
shine your light on everyone

MORNING SONG
(DWS - 2022)
 
When I wake up in the morning
got a new day ahead of me
looking out the back door window
Trees wave and smile at me 

My old dog doesn’t get it
he’s a good boy and licks my hand
He don’t see quite what I see
we both eat from the same can

Outside it’s cold and harsh not fit for man nor beast
Inside it’s warm and dry and I should never leave

Gets harder every  day
to get up  and out the door
stumble around and brush my teeth
someday I won’t wake up any more

It’s my Morning Song
It shouldn’t take too long
Come sing it now with me
and wave back at all the trees

FLYING IN CIRCLES
(DWS - 2022)

High above the tethered ground
with the birds and the planes
It’s so easy not that hard
I’d stay all day and stay all night  
and find myself 
flying in circles

Storm clouds come
and try to scare me away
But to me its all child’s play 
Rain clouds go away 
come again another day
for now I’m
flying in circles

Soaring high above the sea
all the fish look up at me
I’ll never tumble to the sea 
no matter what they think they see
I’ll always be
flying in circles 

Some keep one foot on the ground
but not me - I can’t touch down
I won’ t drown in floods or  get wet when it rains
I’ll just be up here
flying in circles

YOU TOOK THE TIME
(DWS - 2022)  

When I dream
I find a world that stretches out ahead
The grass seems so green
the sunshine such a fiery red

When I’m awake
I find a world that holds itself so tight
worried about things 
that never even come into  our sight

You took the time  
to discover what was new and laid it on the line
You took the time
It’s alright I’ll catch up from behind     

Now I see
No need to worry
things will turn out right
just like the dreams 
living in your eyes this very night

It might be when we stress
ground so precious left behind  
You're with me
and everything is green and red 
so kind

You took the time  
to discover what was new and laid it on the line
You took the time
It’s all right I’ll catch up from behind

LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT
(DWS - 2022)

Let me get this straight
while I still can
make it simple
so I can understand

Your point of view is appreciated
And your appetites have been sedated
I’m sitting here my breath is baited
My feelings run towards antiquated  

And in the darkest night
I feel for you beside me
and I know that it’s just right

I’M LUCKY
(DWS 2022)

I was never what you’d call lucky
but I always walked away
To many people I am only a flunky
but I made it anyway
I won’t apologize for my blind luck
They got plenty but it was never enough 
   
I’m as lucky as the man in the moon
Staring down on earth all day
I don’t look that far behind
I already seen it any way
I never really believed in good or bad luck
It’s just there for some dumb schmuck

Crossing my fingers 
rabbit foot in pocket
I trust my lucky numbers 
and pick four leaf clover

I’ll keep making my own good luck
because I just can’t wait around
I’ve been waiting for good luck to find me
but it never comes around
I won’t concede that the game is over
as  long as I can walk away

HEADS OR TOES   
(DWS 2022)

She made a hell of a mess
when she dropped it down
and everything I ever saw had been drowned
and now its crazy all gone wrong
I don’t even know who sings this song

I guess u need to bleed ur dreams
or are you gonna make another scene
leaning on the wall

That’s true
I had to drop on down with the people standing all around
there’s a long line around the town

Call it

IT AIN’T EASY
(DWS - 2022)  

It ain’t easy when we hit the ground
realize there’s no soft spot around
sooner or later we all fall down
that don’t make it easier  anyway
that don’t make it easier for me to say

All the things that we had to say
all the times that I turned you away
all the songs that we wanted to play
it’s easy to get picked up and swept away
 
easy to get picked up and swept away

MACKEREL SKY
(DWS 2022)

If you touch me that way again
I don’t think I can take it
If you touch me that way again
I know I can’t fake it
Long live your dreams
as we fly into the makerel sky

Please remember what I say
you can’t throw me away
Remember I am here to stay
even in stormy weather


If you promise not to look away
I couldn’t forsake you
if you share with me your weakest day
I’ll never betray you
long live our dreams as we rise into that mackerel sky

Please remember what I say
you can’t throw me away
Remember I am here to stay
even in stormy weather

*** Koen Cools wrote this as an instrumental. He wrote and played all the instruments. I heard it and loved it and asked if he would mind if I put lyrics, vocals and a melody to it. He said yes knowing full well anything can happen in the pasture when the mic is turned on!  This is the result and we hope you like it.  It was a pleasure - Koen is the Maestro!!  You can listen to his original instrumental and his other fine works on his SoundCloud page - https://soundcloud.com/k-cools.  As always, free .wav downloads.  Thanks to all!

I tried to stand but I had no feet
I tried to sit but I had no seat
I tried to talk but I had no voice
I tried to choose and I had no choice
I tried to hide cause I had no clothes
Ain’t gonna die and have a tag on my toes
Sometimes you just gotta break it off free
and let it follow you home - Maybe

Maybe
We’ll find a way to find a way to find a way
Maybe
On the sidelines I’ll no longer stay
Maybe
We can find our feet and find our seat
Maybe
We’ll get a chance to find our voice 
then we’ll get to make the choice

Comes a time when a mans gotta rise
to pump it up until there’s blood in his eyes
To make a stand no not the easy way
To give it up every night and day
There comes a time for that sacrifice
To make the purchase and pay any price
Sometimes you just gotta break it off free
and let it follow you home - Maybe

It ain’t hard to say
if you find the way
it ain’t so hard to say
if you say maybe

Maybe
We’ll find a way to find a way to find a way
Maybe
On the sidelines I’ll no longer stay
Maybe
We can find our feet and find our seat
Maybe
We’ll get a chance to find our voice 
then we’ll get to make the choice

And when we move it you’ll be there with me
Shoulder to shoulder as we set ourselves free
Make all the pimps and the oppression whores
run down the alley as we break down their doors
and give a fresh start to the common man
and lift him up by his very own hand
Sometimes you just gotta break it off free
and let it follow you home -

Today

WORLD SLOW DOWN

ELT/DWS - 2014

World -
slow down
It’s spinning so fast
my feet won’t touch the ground
If it would stop
for just one day
I’d have the chance to figure out
just what to say

Girl -
slow down
I can’t catch you movin’ and slippin’
all over town
there’s just so much I can do
at the speed of light
but if we slow it down
we can make it all just right

World - slow down

Boy -
slow down
Don’t let that mean ol’ world
drag you down
Like the water runs
beneath the ground
We slowly drink
and the world slows down

DON'T PICK UP THE PHONE
DWS - 2014

Don’t pick up the phone
Don’t pick up the phone
Don’t pick up the phone

I picked up the phone,
Reverend man he said to me,
“You’ve got a fiery destiny,
lest you send a hundred to me.”

(Chorus)

I picked up the phone
Government man he said to me,
“We need some more of your tax money,
Gotta set some more people free.”

(Chorus)

I picked up the phone
My ol’ lady sez to me,
“This house it a’int your home!
Looked outside and my dog was gone

(Chorus)

I picked up the phone
My doctor he sez to me,
“You gotta very short destiny,
lest your insurance pays for me.”

(Chorus)

I picked up the phone
the phone company sez to me,
“Your bill is due, the time is right,
gonna cut your phone off tonight.”

Now I can’t pick up the phone
No I can’t pick up the phone
I can’t pick up the phone

Tree Climbing
ELT/DWS - 2016

Underneath my finger nails
I smell your hair
your skin your smile  
But on my back I wear a sign 
that says hey stay away
I don’t guess we gonna find a better way
so we just keep tryin’
and tryin’
and tryin’

Tree Climbing

Sometimes we fuss and fight
you win, I win, its a tie tonight
And on your back you wear a sign
that says I never lie
I have to smile when you 
put me in my place 
so let’s keep tryin’
and tryin’
and tryin’

Tree Climbing 

Finally we’re all alone 
the night is warm lit by the moon
Outside my door I see a sign that says
I’m almost home 
I’d rather die than to think of losing you
so lets keep tryin’
and tryin’
and tryin’

WAITING
(ELT/DWS - 2016)

Please don't leave me waiting
Waiting is something 
I don’t do so well 
Please don't leave me waiting
Here for you

Theres no hesitating
Knock on my door  
I'll let you come in
You hold the key to my heart 
So you can just walk in 

In the morning when I rise
And find that you're not there
I wonder where you were last night
and why I even care

Please don't leave me waiting
Waiting is something 
I don’t do so well
There's no hesitating
Come to me somehow  

In the morning when I rise
And find that you're not there
I wonder where you were last night
and why I even care

Please don't leave me waiting

MED LOST
(Mock Church/DWS)

I got my feet up moving and they're tapping the beat 
it's not coming from me it's the devil Pete 
I got to get up in the morning and I got to go 
I got this lady in the back seat and she's ready to go okay 

E I O and I'm ready to go okay 

It's like when I'm waking up in the morning I feel real low 
son you gotta understand you got something up in your head 
something like a man and it's dragging its dead 
you don't understand how to get the medicine 
and put it inside of that decay 

Up in the morning try to get it out 
try to ask the father for a devil's spout 
did you see that UFO above my head 
I said did did did did did dit did did did did you see that okay 
up in the morning and I don't understand 
what happened to me cuz my memory's slow OK 

E I O and I'm ready to go ok

When You Get Down To It

DWS (2013)

When you get down, when you get down to it
No time to stay
no time to play
no time for tea
there’s no time for me
when you get down to it

There’s no time for me
there’s a blanket on my mind each night
There’s no time for us
we are people of important purpose
There’s no reason given
wouldn’t have it any other way

When you get down, when you get down to it 
Where is my pill?
Where is the bill?
Where is today?
Am I O.K.?
When you get down to it

When you get down,when you get down to it
Please tell me when
please tell me how
please slap my face
please hit me now.
when you get down to it

There’s no time for me
there’s a blanket on my mind each night
There’s no time for us
we are people of important purpose
There’s no reason given
wouldn’t have it any other way

When you get down,when you get down to it

When You Get Down To It

ALL DRESSED UP
DWS (2020)

All dressed up with no place go 
nothing to see and no one new to know
All dressed up with nowhere to go
Looking at the clock is it wrong I don’t know

Sittin’ by the telephone waiting for your call     
it would mean everything new places and all
Instead I’m all dressed up with no place to go
got my best shirt on and a dash of cologne
staring at the telephone 

Fear can kill any living thing
but I’m not scared of  this good thing
I’ve waited so long and I’m looking so right
i just  want to see u in the middle of the night   

I’m not all dressed up just to sing you this song
i won’t sit home and go it alone it’ll be alright  
now I’m all dressed up and ready to go
just in time to catch a brand new show
   
Fear can kill any living thing
but I’m not scared of a new good thing
I’ve waited so long and I’m looking so right
I just  want to find you in the middle of the night

NOTHING GOOD HAPPENS UNTIL MIDNIGHT
(DWS - 2021)

Play that song that I like to hear
Play that song that 
goes so good with my beer 
I can tell you been down 
that dusty road
Sit on down and we’ll cut 
the dust down low

I get the message loud and clear
you’re close to me when ever you’re near  
Lookin at you makes me high
I can’t wait for it to be midnight    

She said nothing good happens 
until midnight
She looked me in the eye 
and said baby 
it’s 11:00 o’clock
I asked her said AM or PM
she said PM
I said then move on over closer baby
         
I get up early just about noon
shave my face and straighten my room
I take my time because I know 
that nothing good happens till after the show 

You can wait all morning
wait all day
but in the sunshine its not the same
I can run circles and play my games
but till midnight its just not the same

I CAN’T GET YOU OFF OF MY MIND
(DWS - 2021)

I can’t get you off of my mind

When i go to sleep at  night
when I wake with the morning light 
 
If you spead your wings and fly away
I’ll fly with you someday    

The way you walk when in a crowd
your body shouts out loud

When I’m playing my guitar
when I’m driving  in my car 

The way you smile at me and sigh
then turn around and cry

You knock me to my knees cause when you breathe the stars caress the trees

The way you fill me up with hope
helps me when I try to cope  

Oh, you never know which way it goes sometimes 

Oh, you can’t always caress the trees some times 

Oh, but you wear it well all the time

You still knock me to my knees cause when you breathe the stars caress the trees

I can’t get you off of my mind

SAW HER SMILE
(DWS 2021)


She used to come around 
wearing nothing but a frown frown frown
I tried everything I could
to lift her off the ground ground ground
no matter what I did or what I  said
She felt dead dead dead   

Then I saw her smile
and I knew that it would last awhile
I’d be ok as long as I kept the smile upon her face   

And now she comes around 
wearing nothing but a grin grin grin
she always goes the extra mile 
to lift me off the ground ground ground
no matter what her friends might say
she turned it around around around

She used too come around 
wearing nothing but a frown frown frown
I tried everything I could
to lift her off the ground ground ground
no matter what I did or what I  said
She felt dead dead dead  

Then I saw her smile
and I knew that it would last awhile
I’d be ok as long as I kept the smile upon her face
