lyrics

cenotaphs ravaged so long
dead have been forever young
years of life coming along
before they go one by one

i don't know why
it 's how is life
i don't know why


cenotaphs lying there
dead have nowhere to turn
here we all are
till time will have torn us apart

i don't know why
it 's how is life
i don't know why


i don't know why
bodies never found
i don't know why
victims spread around
why
glory is their prize
why
being carved with lies


monuments can just be the marvels of art into a history museum
everybody needs the myth beyond
shall look up to the alive not the dead
throw demised into a pit and move on
life is going on


past years lost
but we have others
feel exhausted
but we' d rather
let the ghosts
undercover
past years lost
but we have others


i don't know why
it 's how is life
i don't know why

30 Years Ago

Today I am as lost as 30 years ago          
Arriving for the first time in New York     
                  
And driving through the dark                
The dark and dusty city                     

Driving through the dark                    
Driving through the dark                   


What I remember most?
The dirt and Brooklyn Bridge

The woman scream
That seemed to last forever

Right on a corner of the street
Right on a corner of the street

Against all chances
Against the world
I will take you there
Where love is born

Where love is born
Where love is born
Where love is born
Where love is born

I am lost as 30 years ago
30 years ago...

I can't thank Johnny enough for laying down a perfect track. His patience and love for what he does. You are the best!!

Only just a picture like some long-forgotten dream
Somehow… still a memory …” of something…used to be”
Daddy saved this moment …
me there on your lap …just a lad
Only just a picture … but sometimes …sometimes I go back

Mom, you had so much ahead, and I had all of mine
Didn’t know, back then how much… you’d mean, in my life
That picture’s worn and torn …from all the times
I tried in vain… to return
Only just a picture … but sometimes, I’m right there… with her

They say you can’t go back…then how’d I get to here?
Time and place, collide again, we travel through the years
Daddy took that picture …like some long-forgotten song
They say you can’t go home again…
maybe they’re all “wrong”
Only just a picture … but somehow …sometimes I go back

We all have stacks of memories…family, friends, and such
Life’s mysteries, broken dreams, first times we made love
Only pictures, …only just a picture

First time that I saw that girl, took a picture in my mind
Promised her I’d write a song, the moment I had time
Her hair a flowing rhyme, …
her eyes they captured mine, and all of that
It’s only just a memory … but sometimes …sometimes I go back

They say you can’t go back… most times that seems right
Raining now in Frisco… Sierra … drowns in dry
But, I still ‘member Jackson Hole, you on your downhill run
Me, just waitin’ by the fire,
Writin’ one more song… about my love
They say you can’t go back… but those words, …remember you so much

They say you can’t go back …then how’d I get to here?
Time and place, collide again, we travel through the years
Only, just a picture …only just a song
They say you can’t go back again …maybe they’re all “wrong”
Only just a picture … but sometimes …
sometimes I go back / sometimes I go back
So… glad they’re saved ...remembering …Today
my “polaroid slideshows”
our “kodak memories” ….pictures

Drifter

After 10 songs of jazzy singer songwriter it's time for a change. But not much! As science based as we are there's still that feeling of karma or whatever. So - better do some good!

Better do some Good.      

Hey I don’t mind complicity in drinking all that wine
It’s good to get the wheels up, but just from time to time
But dwelling on this comfort food is brewing up a blood red sky 
You lapsing into navel gaze is goading kharma’s battle cry 

Better do some good oh darlin’ 
Make a start tonight
You never know who’s out there watching
Know your wrong from right
Do  do do do do do do do

It’s no good you walking round as tho it’s you who’s missing out
With lips so taught and victim eyes 
You’re looking like a sour kraut
You’re always going to lose the war living in this ugly mess 
If Gods don’t see u clean the floor 
The frontline beckons to the West

It’s a round and a round you’re swirling down
Consumed and jealous
You’re wanting needing ‘n nursing greed
In a sump of trench warfare
Aaah ooooh 
Nothing but the best 
Everyone at your behest 
Better do some good tonight 
Better do some good tonight

BETTER DO SOME GOOD

SOMEDAY THE WEIGHT OF THIS YEAR ON MY LIFE WILL BE AN ALBUM FULL OF PAIN,... BUT, RIGHT NOW IT SEEMS LIKE I'M CENTRALLY LOCATED IN HELL

1987 WENT TO Nashville for a “short week” Music row to make the big time … wow … nobody listens in lawsuit land in those days. 1988 WENT TO NASHVILLE for 3 days (surely, I would crack this puzzle and become famous …) so many on benches in front of churches. Frustrated, didn’t sing publicly again basically for 25 years. (after all, where would a singer/song writer, make a name for himself in Karaoke land).
2010 discovered open mics (new world begins). WRITING SINCE …a lot! Had someone to produce me in limited acoustic style for a couple years…I think a few were damn good “Fields of Quiet Soil”. Had a lot of offers to write lyrics and/or sing for a lot of other artists here. (but no recording capability …let alone a decent computer for my own. TODAY, THINGS CHANGE …I’m here to make an impact (got 4 new ones under my belt recently) …plus some old ones you will not be disappointed listening to. Welcome old music fans and artists., potential serious collabs.
I’m locked and loaded this time!
