LYRICS - TO BE THERE
Our future is unknown
Don’t want to go alone.
I don’t feel that I’m whole,
When I’m on my own.

I want to be there.
Be there, be there for you.

Sometimes I feel,
I’m living on borrowed time.
Makes me glad that we met,
You listen and you’re kind.

I want to be there.
Be there, be there for you.

I want to be there,
When the sun rises, over the trees.
For every raindrop. And every breeze.
To be there when you need me.
To be there, a whole world to see.
To be there… for you.

Be there, be there,
Be there for you.

If I had known,
How our love would grow,
I would have tried more ways,
My love, to show.

I want to be there,
With you at night.
Darkness will surround us.
The sky drenched in starlight.
To be there holding you in my arms.
To be there enjoying your wonderful charms.
To be there. To be there… For you.

Be There (ft. Anna Rader - vocals, Chris Kulp - guitar)

* LYRICS *
VERSE1
The road we don’t know,
Where does it go?
Adventures in my car.
Sometimes dirt. 
Sometimes stones.
Will it take us far?
CHORUS1
Back road.
Let’s go see.
Back road.
Just you and me.
Back road.
A mystery.
Back road.
Young and free
VERSE2
Sometimes slow.
We go with the flow.
Memories we make,
From the risks that we take. 
As we roll on, we both unwind,
Until peace we find.
CHORUS2
Back road.
Take it slow.
Back road.
Memories grow.
Back road.
Take in the air.
Back road.
We don’t care.
Back road.
Nature show.
Back road.
The unknown.
Back road.
Streams will flow.
Back road.
Let’s go!

Abandoned Sanctuary

I wrote this for my daughter in her late 20's who has a hearing impairment and is often treated like a child by ignorant people.

I was too close to the edge
There were people down below me
Who tried to judge me on my narrow ledge
And they didn't even know me
I thought that they might show me
The way ..
 
As I stood there looking down
They didn't know that I could fly
It was a long way to the ground
And my ambitions were so high
Way way up in the sky..
 
Faced by ignorance not fear
In my world that silence brings
I knew the time was almost here
For me to test my fragile wings
Up where the angel softly sings
 
First the tall man shook my hand
Then the lady gave a smile
I thought that they might understand
So I played along for a while 
They treated me just like a child
 
Then I could hear a muffled voice
But didn't catch a single word
Through my deafness not by choice
As their questions went unheard
 
And my wings began to falter
 
I was too close to the edge
There were people down below me
They saw me falling off my ledge
And now they'll never ever know me
No they'll never ever know me
At all ..

Too Close To The Edge

Eccentricities (f. Anna Rader - vocals, Len Cagle - sax, Tim Breon - guitar, Dave - Trombone, Piano)

Something completely different. Sax player Len challenged me for a composition using Chromatic scale. Fairly complex to play the score. The challenge was to stretch towards the avant garde, but keep it musical.

LYRICS...  SHATTER THE IMAGE
VERSE 1
Now you’ve been told what you should be.
Get on your mark, now, we’re countin’ to three.
But in your head, you say, “Is this really me?”
And in your head, you say, “Am I really free?”
VERSE 2
An old man sits in a darkened room,
Staring out at the evening gloom.
Humming a tune, while he drinks his gin,
And heaving a sigh, as he rubs his chin.
VERSE 3
And he thinks back to his younger days,
When there was little, if any haze.
So many dreams, but where did they go?
Off to another world, that he’ll never know.
CHORUS
Shatter the image in the other man’s eye.
You’ll find out that you won’t really die.
What you’ll find are the things, you need to know.
What you’ll find are the things, you need to grow.

Timbuk3 - The Future's So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades

YouTube: https://youtu.be/j2uy7Gw2Y_U. Web: https://DAVEHEFFNER.COM.
Dave and Jan Heffner - vocals, Alfonso Llorente Sardi - 2006 custom Strat electric guitar. Dave - synthesizers, production.
The first verse, "I'm three-four in a four-four world" sums up the song. In other words, you might feel left out because you are different? This song was originally a challenge from a music producer's meeting on writing a song in a tempo other than the common four-four time used in almost all music today except classical and jazz music. Alfonso from Bogota, Columbia skillfully plays his 2006 customized Strat to help create a classic progressive rock sound.

LYRICS
FOUR-FOUR WORLD
VERSE1
I’m three-four in a four-four world.
I’m out of step, but it’s still real.
I’m three-four in a four-four world.
I’m in a fog. You know how I feel.
VERSE2
Are you three-four in a four-four world?
Waltzing through life to your own ideal.
Are you three-four in a four-four world?
It’s a real blessing. Do not conceal.
CHORUS
Together, we’ll find our way.
Together, we’ll have our say.

Four Four World (ft. Dave & Jan Heffner - vocals, Alfonso Llorente Sardi - guitar)
