Listening to this while being in the train. Wonderful tune Doug!

Like everything about this one Doug...some trains don't leave...great line!

another great lyric Doug, let’s the listener weave in their own interpretation, as most fine songs do

Fine song with an earthy honesty in lyric, and especially in your playing and singing.  Some songs beg for studio treatment, I'm not sure about this one, it's pretty good as is.

Oh yeah, that's a good one. First demos are so often the very best versions of songs.

Very nice song with the analogy of a teain and love and loss.

love the words.. well sung and played Doug!!

This songs been on S.C. awhile but its one of my favorites and sadly rings more true everyday.
I don't know if you've seen US news lately..have you noticed the profound deception?  Please pray for the US.
I ponder "something's missing" in the song. It's the gospel. We have changed the gospel of truth. It's been changed to a self help crusade...me me me.. as a nation we aren't seeing our need for a savior because sin isn't sin anymore.. we've been sooo decieved..We don't see how lost.. we are. But Praise God Jesus came to seek and save the lost!
About 15 years ago I wrote a song called World Revival( it was a flop) but I took an important phrase out of it and put it into this one "start in me awakening revival". That's my prayer, and I hope it speads like wildfire...

Silly Side note:
This song was so much fun to do! Casey Jake Josh and me all took turns trying to get the muted trumpet part right at the end, it was hillarious cause we all knew WE'D be the one to get it right.. LOL! 3 of us were wrong!!
Verse1
Save us from the jaws that grip us!
Here’s how numb we’ve been made:
Devoured alive before our eyes
Can't feel the pain
Tag
Something’s missing. Where's the revival?
It's a tragedy!
Chorus
Start in me, awakening, revival?
We need a revival!
Repeat
V 2
Do you recall seeing honor die?
What was the cause?
Did we stand up? Did we fight back?
Is there more to be lost? More to be lost.
Tag
Something’s missing. It’s a tragedy! !t’s a tragedy!
Where's the revival?
Repeat chorus
Bridge
We silently yield
Stray from the truth
Traded our peace
Forgotten gratitude
Oh what sacrifice!
Oh what sacrifice!

===== Lyrics =====

Oh how I wish I was beautiful
Just enough to catch your eye
Oh is it sad to consider
In trading my time up there in heaven
Just to hold you

Oh I’m so sick in love for you
I’ll find my way into your soul

How can I prove myself trustworthy
Lure you in with no charm
In the end, I’ll find a way
Call in the sirens to play
Oh I’m hoping, for this time
To enchant you

It’s feeling so alone down here
I’m so tired of this cold throne

So tired, so tired
I’m sick, sick in love

So tired, so tired
I’m sick, sick in love

So tired (so sick in love)
so tired (so sick of love)
So tired of this love (from you)

So tired (so sick in love)
so tired (so sick of love)
So tired of this love

2020 was a good year for writing ...finding some old YouTube postings of mine

some trains won't leave
won't even start
though I put a thousand miles 
of rail beneath this heart
I’ve ridden hard, I've driven fast
But a part of me stayed at the station with my past
Some trains may leave,
but your memories still stuck back in town 

I hear that whistle blowin’, feel the wheels roll down the track 
But There’s a part of me… that won’t stop goin’ back
I never left your memories, still hear those sad goodbyes … 
Some trains won’t leave no matter how you try

Lyrics:

This bitter road is all I’ve known
Pitch black and ever winding
like the spine of some spiteful soul
Here no light can find me
Only nightmares and crushing lows
down this trail of misfortune
Born to spread this grief that fills my lungs,
‘cause grief is my infection

Breathe it in, to me it feels like home
It feels like rain when you’re alone 
A dying friend when you need them most
A violin when it plays sad notes A candle blowing out when you see your loved one’s ghost 

This bitter road will not dead end,
I just pave it further every day
Made from all the things I try to forget
as they burn away my brain

Breathe it in, to me it smells like home
It feels like shame when you atone
A dying dream when you want it most
A bloody hand when you cut too close A glimpse of paradise when you’re trapped on Bitter Road

There is no wind that blows
No pretty trees or stars
And I don’t remember 
where they’ve gone
The darkness pressed against my skin
I’ve lost the will to care
The man that’s standing here is gone, gone, gone
There is no weapon greater than the emotional scar
This bitter road is my cell

Bitter Road

Let's meet in our dreams she said
As if we could find the keys to a secret kingdom
Where anything could happen
As if she knew
only magic could  keep this love alive

Black Hole

Based on a few lines written in a delerium

Dear Doctor, Thank you for the pills that counteract the pills,
that counteract those pills that make me want to vomit on your floor.
I don't even know  just exactly what all these pills are for.

Angelina, mistress of the pricks, I love your acupuncture and your oriental tricks,
I've been longing for you since my boat went down.
If you pay me in sugar I will be your clown.

Holy Mary, Mother of the Gods, I've broken all my promises, beaten all the odds,
But my hands are cold and my mind is numb.
You promised me the world but all I got was crumbs.

Dearest Rachel, I see that you've been blessed by the songs of love and longing,
by the beauty of your flesh, I hear a distant bell, I hear a funereal song,
That sweet and easy feeling that I used to have is gone.

I'm falling backwards, trying to reach the start of the long and lonely journey to the centre of my heart,
if I seem lost sometimes, give me another dose.
I'm a thousand miles from nowhere but I think I'm getting close.

Mona Lisa, diva in the clouds, there's a tear in every marriage, a fool in every crowd,
You were invisible when I tried to break through.
Now I got that sinking feeling that I'm invisible too.

Dearest Doctor, I've heard that it's been said that for sixty quid an hour you could rearrange my head,
but do you really think that you could ever heal
these wounds that I've been nursing or the thoughts that make them real.

My Dearest Doctor. Steve Killingbeck

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!
