A Pirate's March

About a decade ago two things happened: I came really close to losing a family member to a sudden brain infection and my then-wife asked for a divorce. In both cases I didn't have an opportunity to tidy things up before the door suddenly shut. I wrote this song at the time but it took awhile to unpack the suitcase. As usual, I would much rather someone else sing this than me, preferably Harry Nilsson.


Well I guess this is goodbye
I won’t see you anymore
Your eyes are strangely vacant
You’re just staring at the floor

Well I swore I wouldn’t cry
Well I guess I’ve lied before
Lies are only wishes
We don’t believe in anymore

And if I hold your hand
Would you understand?
Would you hear me call your name?
Words to dull the silence
Nothing to dull the pain

Is this the last goodbye?
I can’t believe that it comes to this bitterness
Is this the way love dies?
Tossed out and hopeless
No time will tell, no fare thee well

If I could do it all again  
I’d be the one to bend 
I’d soften up my heart
I’d treat you like a friend

Did I ever even try?
Did I give it all I had?
The days that made me dizzy
Are the only days we’ll have

Is this the last goodbye?
I can’t believe that it comes to this bitterness
Is this the way love dies?
Tossed out and hopeless
No time will tell, no fare thee well

Open up your eyes so I can see you one last time

(Kick-ass guitar solo)

But it’s over now
And I don’t know how
To leave it all behind
I want to hear you say it
I gotta hear you say goodbye

Just one last goodbye
That’s all I need
Then I will leave
Then we'll let it die
I won't fight
I’ll be alright

Open up your eyes so I can see you one last time
If love is blind, I’ll close mine

The Last Goodbye

I get lost in two chords sometimes, just hold steady and look out the window.

Salt The Earth Behind You

"La Rumba del pareo" is a summer song, you can watch our trailer on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Te3QRQ9KsZg

La Rumba del Pareo

Fall into You (Piano only)

Apologize

Sleep

Cop lights on a Saturday night
Ain’t it just my luck?
If I can fly outta sight in time 
Maybe they’ll give up
More gas, how much longer can they last?
How fast must I go to dodge my  past?

Broken bones on the concrete and stone
Now my eye’s swole shut
Blackout, I can’t figure it out
Where did I fuck up?
I know there’s a world that’s made for me
I know there’s a world where I am free

Ain’t it just my luck?
Ain’t it just my luck?
Ain’t it just my luck?
My lucky day
 
Girlfriend was a bomb in the end
She blew the whole thing up
She made me pay now I’m a caste away
From those you shouldn’t touch
My shame, I almost went and changed my name
No blame in a world so full of pain 

Ain’t it just my luck?
Ain’t it just my luck?
Ain’t it just my luck?
My lucky day

Sleep
