God doesn’t want my kind in Heaven

God hasn’t called me home
An old man told me
Cause he doesn’t want me up there

Telling him what it’s like
Down on this mortal coil
Not something that he wants to hear

I’m ninety-two years old
Seen things to make your blood run cold
Little children crying out in pain

I just don’t understand
Is that part of his plan?
Little children crying out in pain

God doesn’t want my kind in Heaven
So, I guess I’ll have to go on living
God doesn’t want my kind in Heaven
So, I guess I’ll have to stick around

God hasn’t called me home
Way too cantankerous
He doesn’t want my sort up there

Saying his creation’s flawed
Asking him how could you Lord
Allow the things that are happening down here?


God hasn’t called me home
But I guess it won’t be long
Did I mention that I’m ninety-two?

At my age you speak your mind
Sorry to take up your time
Hope that I have not offended you

God doesn’t want my kind in Heaven
So, I guess I’ll have to go on living
God doesn’t want my kind in Heaven
So, I guess I’ll have to stick around

(repeat chorus)

God Doesn't Want My Kind In Heaven

Lord I Know You Hear Me

OLD SOUTHBOUND LINE

louisiana moon winkin' through the leaves
swear i heard the ghost of a hobo breathin'
every now and then i hear the lonesome sound
of a distant whistle of that old southbound
trestle like a skeleton ready to fall
can barely stand a yankee wind as it calls
broken boxcars battling kudzu vine
home to coyotes, critters and empty bottles of wine
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;night time on that old southbound line
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;takes me back to a different place and time
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;some good, some bad, some have slipped my mind
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;but i became the man i am on that old southbound line

potters field, many a nameless cross
covered in briars and spanish moss
the stories i could tell with old friends of mine
from the first train we hopped to the end of the line
another wishful night under the stars
away from home, god knows how far
beside these rusty rails prayin' it don't rain
singin' jimmie rodgers waitin' for a train
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;night time on that old southbound line
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;takes me back to a different place and time
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;some good, some bad, some have slipped my mind
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;but i became the man i am on that old southbound line
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;night time on that old southbound line
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;takes me back to a different place and time
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;some good, some bad, some have slipped my mind
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;but i became the man i am on that old southbound line
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i became the man i am on that old southbound line

MAKE ME LOVE AGAIN

By David Snyder

V1

Looking for a reason looking for a way
looking for an antidote to yesterday
looking for a person who can see beneath my skin
looking for any place on earth that would take me in
looking for a person who won't judge me
for a few mistakes I've made along the way

CH

So I'm looking for anyone anywhere anytime
just looking for someone who I can call a friend
any smile, any touch, you know that I don't ask for much
just anything that could make me feel like me
and make me love again
and make me love again

V2

Fighting for some answers, and you know I'm not afraid
I'd like to throw it in reverse , don't like this world we've made
So I'm looking for a person with some goodness in their eyes
looking for any place on earth that sells truth instead of lies


CH

So I'm looking for anyone anywhere anytime
just looking for someone who I can call a friend
any smile, any touch, you know I don't ask for much
just anything that could make me feel like me
and make me love again


BR

Oh I'm tired of falling down
from the sorrow in my soul, every time I look around

CH

So I'm looking for anyone anywhere anytime
just looking for someone who I can call a friend
any smile, any touch, you know  I don't ask for much
just anything that could make me feel like me
and make me love again

Tomorrow

Not everything in life goes the way you think it will.
Some things you see coming, some things come as a complete surprise.
Well, I simply underestimated the looming disaster in my relationship....

you and I
	
it was the first look into your blue eyes
that got me feeling this this is paradise

from then on began the best time in our lives
without suspecting what the fate should still decide

and then I said the last „I love you“

you and I
wanted to touch the sky
but what we could not see
that it was too high for you and me

everything seemed right and felt good
until our lives got stuck in a loop
	
and i saw the danger much too late
but you were already far far away

and then I said the last „I love you“

you and I
wanted to touch the sky
but what we could not see
that it was too high for you and me
		
solo

today we are best friends
everyone has his chance
it was a great time
and makes our memories shine

YOU AND I

THE RIGHT TRACK

too long in this town, too long in shadow
roads lead out, where the hell do they go?
this might be someone's idea of good old days
not mine
i'm parting ways
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i'm leaving
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;some might think on a wing and a prayer
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;but there's got to be peace
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;between here and somewhere
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;sun on my face, wind at my back
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i'm finally... on the right track

day by day, time gets shorter
while my bucket list just runs over
some things age well like a fine old wine
but a spirit chained
will die in time (so...)
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i'm leaving
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;some think on a wing and a prayer
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;but there's got to be peace
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;between here and somewhere
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;sun on my face, wind at my back
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i'm finally... on the right track

friends say slow down don't go
but what the hell could they know
i got boots older than most of them
and I ain't leaving on a whim
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
  &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; i'm leaving
  &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;some might think on a wing and a prayer
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;but there's got to be peace
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;between here and somewhere
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;sun on my face, wind at my back
  &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; i'm finally... on the right track

Farther From The Tree

I am my father's son
That can be said of me
Yes, the apple doesn't fall 
Very far from the tree 
It's sad we never found 
Common ground for our beliefs 
It seems that we would always just 
Agree to disagree 
You were right, and yes, you were so wrong
Oh, and so was I now I must break this chain
That's bound me for so long 

Time marches on through fields of broken dreams 
I know you felt, I'm not the man that I should be 
Now, things that you would say and do 
I see them coming out of me
Sometimes, I wish this apple could have rolled 
A little farther from the tree 

Sons and the Fathers
Mothers and your daughters 
Has anyone but me ever felt this way
I know humility's the answer
Grudges are a cancer
That never let the dark clouds fade away

Time marches on past fields of broken dreams 
At times, I felt you weren't the man that I thought you should be 
Things that you would say and do 
I see them coming out of me
Sometimes, I wish this apple could have rolled 
A little farther from the tree 

Still, I have hope that some sunny day
That God will restore what we've thrown away
Until then, in my heart, I'll be
Believing somehow that you still love me

Time marches on through fields of broken dreams 
At times, we knew we weren't the men who we were meant to be 
The very things that you would say and do 
Now they're coming out of me
Sometimes, I wish this apple could have rolled 
A little farther from the tree

Farther From The Tree

FARTHER FROM THE TREE

The Last Real Man

The Impossible Blue


  grounded freighter tilting in the bay
  refugees through moonlight wade
  sacrifice their lodestone
  feather on feather bone by bone
  to give a child wings made new
  in the impossible blue

  a blind girl`s rainbow songs the deaf man hears
  every breath to still hold dear
  gratitude their lodestone
  feather on feather bone by bone
  building wings to carry them through
  to the impossible blue

  Elysium Green or Burnt Umber Dream
  the canvas has no colour you must choose
  for sky where all flags fly
  in your painting box find 
  Impossible Blue
                             
  we live our lives on this asylum earth
  every madness seen inside us first
  atonement our lodestone
  feather on feather bone by bone
  building wings to carry us through
  to the impossible blue
  building wings to carry us through
  the impossible blue

The Impossible Blue

We keep moving sideways 
Down all these highways 
Searching for someplace to be 
Through all our travels 
We’ve been scarred by our battles 
Maybe it’s time we made our peace

We’ve got to open our arms 
To the light of the living  
Or let what’s dying die 
Don’t be alarmed by  
By our doubts and our misgivings
 It’s so easy, love, to never try

We’ve gotta set our sights 
On the light shining over 
All these mad things we do 
You say you’ve got your demons 
Well, I’ve got demons too

Say a prayer to the world 
There’s a chance for forgiveness 
A prayer to the world 
There’s some light still within us 
A prayer to the world 
There’s still hope of love for me and you

We drove through the tension 
While every sense of connection 
Just scattered like leaves in the wind 
We found comfort in strangers 
Well aware of the danger  
Of losing ourselves in the end

We’ve got to open our eyes
To the price of commitment 
And make a choice to choose 
Don’t be surprised by the 
Strength of our resistance to it
 It’s harder, love, to win than lose

We’ve gotta set our sights 
On the light shining over 
All these mad things we do 
 You say you’ve got your reasons 
Well, I’ve got reasons too

Let’s walk on out  
From this weight on our shoulders
 Let’s figure out 
How a good love can bloom

State Lines

keep putting state lines between us 
one or two more state lines between us 
i never dreamed you’d be so heartless

you talked about life’s give and take
 forever preachin’ about life’s give and take
 but just givin’ is no piece of cake

about all you left me is an empty bed  
here i am lying in an empty bed 
who’ll be here tonight is best left unsaid

keep movin’ outa my memory lane 
get out…i want you out…of my memory lane
 i wanna see blue skies and no, no sign of rain

FIll Me Again

Words and music by
Torrey Bliss © 2023 

I don't want to go on this way
It's been so long since I walked with You
You know that I have nothing left inside
My soul cries out as I stand without excuse
Help me know You again

Fill me with love fill me with joy and
Fill me with peace again
To be patient and kind, show goodness and faithfulness
Be gentle with self-control
The things that I used to know
Lord fill me again

You'll teach me to walk as a wise man
And not as a fool
now I'll walk with You
Every day I'll rise and seek your face
To hunger for You and
Always do Your will
Lord help me start again
Fill me with love fill me with joy and
Fill me with peace again
To be patient and kind, show goodness and faithfulness
Be gentle with self-control
The things that I used to know
Lord fill me again

Fill me with love fill me with joy and
Fill me with peace again
To be patient and kind, show goodness and faithfulness
Be gentle with self-control
The things that I used to know
Lord fill me again

FILL ME AGAIN

In the alleyways of midnight, shadows climb the walls
Playing trash guitar, while the night tumbles and falls
Cigarette smoke lingers, on the city streets so bare
Spinning songs of disillusion, with a heart in full repair

Hey now Lou, where has it gone?
Time lost in translation, in a big world gone wrong
So many highs and lows, a velvet symphony
Nico in the shadows, at the Silver Factory

The city is a circus, with clowns on every block
The neon lights they sputter, as the music rolls and rocks
Singing songs of outcasts, the misfits and the lost
Finding space in the music, doesn’t matter the cost

Hey now Lou, where has it gone?
Time lost in translation, in a big world gone wrong
So many highs and lows, a velvet symphony
Nico in the shadows, at the Silver Factory
Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba

Walking down Grove Street, got my leather jacket on
Thinking about my masterpiece, in the half light of dawn
Channeling the spirits, and the songs of the day
In a dream that keeps repeating, every step along the way

Hey now Lou, where has it gone?
Time lost in translation, in a big world gone wrong
So many highs and lows, a velvet symphony
Nico in the shadows, at the Silver Factory
Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba

Hey Lou
