It’s lonely out tonight
The sky is black with rain
I’m waiting for the morning
Cuz I can’t stand the pain
It’s deep inside me
And I know you feel it too
Why can’t we try again
Somewhere new

You’re out tonight
I feel it in my bones
Hopefully somewhere
Not all alone
And I am trying to hold on
To something we had
Let’s stay together
Before it’s all gone

Chorus
My Charlotte
You’re raining on my parade
I thought one day
We would be together
I’m trying to understand
How we got this way
I’m not over you
Honey I just can’t help it
I’m all alone and blue

So I’m standing outside
My tears mixed with rain
Trying to find a handle
On what’s the blame
You were once my girl
The center of my world
And now we’re drifting
And I can’t ease the pain

Oh Charlotte
Give me something
To give us hope
Don’t leave me standing
All alone and blue
I don’t have the answers
I’m just wanting you

Chorus
Oh My Charlotte
You’re raining on my parade
I thought one day
We would be together
I’m trying to understand
How we got this way
I’m not over you
Honey I just can’t help it
I’m all alone and blue

J’AI RÊVÉ DE VOUS
VOUS M’AVEZ RÊVÉE
ET PUIS ON S’EST RÉVEILLÉS

WAS I IN YOUR DREAMS LAST NIGHT
YOU WERE IN MINE SO I FIGURED I MIGHT
COS WE ALL DREAM OF EACH OTHER
YES WE ALL DREAM OF ONE ANOTHER
ALL WILL BE FINE LAST NIGHT YOU WERE MINE

I’LL BE IN YOUR DREAMS TONIGHT
YES I’LL BE AROUND SOMEWHERE AFTER MIDNIGHT
COS WE ALL DREAM OF EACH OTHER
YES WE ALL DREAM OF ONE ANOTHER
AND OUT OF SIGHT AT NIGHT WE REUNITE

WE ALL DREAM OF EACH OTHER
YES WE ALL DREAM OF ONE ANOTHER
AND BY THE LIGHT OF THE MOON SHINING BRIGHT
TONIGHT YOU WILL BE MINE

WE WERE FRIENDS WE WERE FRIENDS

Motivation Of Love

One of those windless mornings
Early when the darkness let go
Cane River lay quiet, not a ripple
And sunlight filtered
Through a pecan orchard
So happy to be alive

So much water passed
So much history revealed
Good and bad, to be sure
But history can’t be erased
Nor can it be concealed
And that is the luck

I live in my imagination
Exist in the reality
Of where will I go
And what will I do

Chorus
Don’t take it away
And don’t even try
It’s who we are
It’s the reason why
Stay where you are
And let it be
Things are just fine
It’s not worth your time

Yeah, there was a time

In the river’s history
When focus ... purpose
Without mystery
Was dark, unyielding
And frankly inhumane
But that was some time ago

We aren’t those people
And proud of our change
We’re evolving
And grow every day
We are who we say
Is that the case with you?
 
I live in my imagination
Exist in the reality
Of where will I go
And what will I do

Chorus
Don’t take it away
And don’t even try
It’s who we are
It’s the reason why
Stay where you are
And let it all be
Things are just fine
It’s not worth your time

Yeah, there was a time

A number of years ago, the mother of one of my guitar students brought some lyrics to me and asked me to add music. This song, My Touch, had placed 3rd in the American Song Festival, and she had an offer to meet with major studios in Nashville. 

Lyrics: Kylene
Music: edro

It's so hard to find expressions for my feelings
The words of love and hope are simply not enough
To make you realize the depths of my emotion
The only way to make you know is in my touch

When apart I make attempts to find an answer
How I will speak of my devotion dreams and such
But the moment that I see you words escape me
The only way is with to tell you is with my touch

Chorus
The words of love just can't describe
The full commitment deep inside
The way I feel I want to never part
But when I hold you close to me
My touch displays my ecstasy
It's all I need to let you know what's in my heart
It's all I need to let you know what's in my heart
It's all I need to let you know what's in my heart

Instrumental Break

Chorus
The words of love just can't describe
The full commitment deep inside
The way I feel I want to never part
But when I hold you close to me y touch displays my ecstasy
It's all I need to let you know what's in my heart

I think 'll always live with this dilemma
Of endless searching for the words that say so much
Till I find a way to talk about my feelings
I'll have to keep on telling you with just a touch

Chorus
The words of love just can't describe
The full commitment deep inside
The way I feel I want to never part
But when I hold you close to me I touch displays my ecstasy
It's all I need to let you know what's in my heart
It's all I need to let you know what's in my heart
My touch is all I need to let you know

This is a bit of a rough and ready track from when we were all just young lads working out where to plug, blow, hit or bend these potentially musical things we had acquired… I cannot even remember playing it(!) but the best drummer in my world (Rick Medlock) sent me some of these old Pzazz tracks and I thought you might be able to suffer just one more that made me smile….
Pzazz was then:

Steve Tayton - blowing things
Rick Medlock - hitting things
Mark Steeds  - caressing electronic things
Mark Yakes  - plucking thicker things
Phil McWalter - bending thinner things

Please note there is a subsequent album release by PZAZZ entitled 'On Air' available on iTunes.

Hi. I'm Ed. First off, thanks for listening. 

You might notice a link below to a blog site John Eagle and I started to add a new dimension to the stories we tell. 

Once I played in a band that had two Elvises (Elvi) and adopted the pseudonym edro as a cover.  

Mostly it is me playing guitar, keyboards, mandolin, and whatever else makes sense for a song. Most of the songs are original with a few live. The originals are written and performed by edro. I have been fortunate lately to be involved with some collaborations with some real fine folks.

The intro was written when I first joined SoundCloud. While I collaborate with many fine folks, John Eagle and I have written hundreds of songs together. We are working pretty hard writing good songs these days.
