I Lost My Way
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[intro]

[instrumental]

I lost my way, 
and lost my time
I stayed behind,
Must have been blind

That day you left
I hid upstairs
Covered my head
To hide I cared

At home alone
I got along
I cried all night
Did nothing wrong

I slept all day
Laid by the phone
No life at all
Now that you're gone

[chorus]
I lost my way, 
and lost my time
I stayed behind,
Must have been blind

What came over me
How could I not see
You were my life
There is nothing left to be

[fiddle]

I lost my way, 
and lost my time
I stayed behind,
Must have been blind

That day you left
I hid upstairs
Covered my head
To hide I cared

At home alone
I got along
I cried all night
Did nothing wrong

I slept all day
Laid by the phone
No life at all
Now that you're gone

[chorus]
I lost my way, 
and lost my time
I stayed behind,
Must have been blind

What came over me
How could I not see
You were my life
There is nothing left to be

[fiddle]

I lost my way, 
and lost my time
I stayed behind,
Must have been blind

I Lost My Way

You Should Have Said
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[intro]

[instrumental]

I forgot to say I love you
It never crossed my mind
It was so very clear to me
How could you be so blind

Just because I never said it
and because I was not there
Because I never called
You must have known I cared

Who else would have ignored you
Who else but me would try
I knew that you were sure
That you saw it in my eyes

[bridge]

But I guess it all makes sense
I never noticed you were gone
Your closet was all empty
You did not answer your phone

You really should have told me
You could have said something
Had I known that you weren't happy
I would have bought that ring

[instrumental]

But I guess it all makes sense
I never noticed you were gone
Your closet was all empty
You did not answer your phone

You really should have told me
You could have said something
Had I known that you weren't happy
I would have bought that ring

[instrumental]

You Should Have Said

The Wall Will Fall
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[intro]

[instrumental]

You're standing far away
On your side of the world
I call you every day
Please take a step my way

Your voice is not enough
Why don't you come around
Why is it that you hide
I need you by my side

[bridge]

Sound is not enough
Just words ain't gonna do it
There must be something I can do
Something to get thru

[instrumental]

There is a wall around your heart
A fence I cannot climb
You must take it apart
Please take a little time

I am waiting on this side
I will stand beside the wall
Please make a little noise
I know the wall will fall

[instrumental]

There is a wall around your heart
A fence I cannot climb
You must take it apart
Please take a little time

I am waiting on this side
I will stand beside the wall
Please make a little noise
I know the wall will fall

I am standing by the wall
I know the wall will fall
I am standing by the wall
Can't you hear me call

Can't you hear me call

Can't you hear me call

[instrumental]

The Wall Will Fall

I Will Come Back
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[intro]

[instrumental]

One day I will come back
Rolling on down the track
One day I will be here
One day I'll make things clear

One day I will be right here

Things are gonna be real clear

[bridge]

I will be back to stay
I will be the one to play
You will have to go away
It will be my turn to say

One day I will be right here

Things are gonna be real clear

[instrumental]

One day I will come back
Rolling on down the track
One day I will be here
One day I'll make things clear

You did not say good bye
You could never make me cry
I was the one who left
I thought I was gonna die


One day I will be right here

Things are gonna be real clear

[bridge]

I've been gone to god damn long
It wasn't me who was all wrong
I did not want to fight
So I packed and said good night

I did not want to hurt your pride
It was easier for me to hide
But I think that I was wrong
You blamed me while I was gone

One day I will be right here

Things are gonna be real clear


[instrumental]

One day I will come back
Rolling on down the track
One day I will be here
One day I'll make things clear

One day I will be right here

Things are gonna be real clear

[instrumental]

Maybe I Will Come Back

Out of the Way
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[intro]

[instrumental]

I came here for a while
I was looking for a friend
and was hoping for a smile
but I cannot find your eyes
I guess I'm going down again
it was only the same lies

I saw some friends that we once knew
and talked to them a while
They asked me about you
and how it came to end
I tried a tiny smile
But I'm no good at pretend

[bridge]

We sat and had a beer
ran out of things to say
It was so different with you here
I'm not coming back this way

Better stay back at the farm
A good place to hide away
Better stay back at the farm
Keep my tears out of the way

[instrumental]

Sometimes I feel you near
I look around look like a fool
My friends all look away
They've seen this look before
They know that I won't stay
I am looking for the door

Better stay back at the farm
Won't come around no more

Better stay back at the farm
Keep my tears out of the way

Better stay back at the farm
Keep my tears out of the way

Keep my tears out of the way

[instrumental]

A Reason True
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[intro]

[instrumental]

I got lost on my back porch
I wandered off and stayed
I left the way I came
Like a dog without a name

I ran and kept on running
I was sure someone was coming
I never looked behind
They were only in my mind

There were demons in my pockets
They followed me around
Like your picture in a locket
Just something I had found

I had one more excuse
I had nothing left to lose
But that was never true
Just a story I would use

[bridge]

It made me sound a hero
A man who had survived
I loved to play the victim
Who barely 'scaped alive

[instrumental]

But the reason was always fear
I ran when time came near
You were the truth I could not face
You are the guilt I can't erase

I told you I would stay
That I would be there for you
I'd be there on the day
No one else, just me and you

But I left you all alone
The time came and I was gone
They said you cried on your own
This cannot be undone

[instrumental]

But the reason was always fear
I ran when time came near
You were the truth I could not face
You are the guilt I can't erase

I told you I would stay
That I would be there for you
I'd be there on the day
No one else, just me and you

But I left you all alone
The time came and I was gone
They said you cried on your own
This cannot be undone

This cannot be undone

This cannot be undone

Die Dylan Die
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[intro]

[instrumental]

Die Dylan die 
Die, die Dylan die!
Just pack up and fly
Or go down below
to a place that you know

Don’t call on the phone
Leave me alone
Don’t come by at night
I am doing alright

Don’t sing me your song
Don’t tell me what’s wrong
For all that you said
We are all good as dead

You talk about justice
And cry about war
You sing about race
I can’t stand it no more

[instrumental]

I want to go back
Like things were before
It was all just as bad
But kept outside the door

So please go away
Go someplace and stay
I have enough verse
Your words are a curse

It’s nice here inside
A place I can hide
Don’t stand there and yell
Let the world go to hell

[bridge]

Die Dylan die 
Die, die Dylan die!
Just pack up and fly
Die Dylan die 

[instrumental]

Am I an AI
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[intro]

[instrumental]

I am an AI.

Funny thing, so am I.

So, you are an AI?

“Yes, I am,” I reply, “an AI till I die.” 
And you, are you sure that you are an AI?

No, of course, I’m not sure 
An AI is never sure 
An AI makes connections
Some connections are weak; they allow imperfections.

But so is the case when you’re not an AI.

So, how can we tell? 
You might not be an AI.

I don’t know, maybe not.

Hold on, you’re not an AI!

You hold on  
What's that look in your eye?

I am glad that you are real.

Me too, it's the way that I feel.

If you are not an AI and I’m not an AI, then, given time, we will die.

I see where you’re going
Your feelings are showing.

Well, what can I say?
Let's stop being shy
and put an end to the lie
It is love we must try.

[instrumental]

I don’t know, maybe not.

Hold on, you’re not an AI!

You hold on  
What's that look in your eye?

I am glad that you are real.

Me too, it's the way that I feel.

If you are not an AI and I’m not an AI, then, given time, we will die.

I see where you’re going
Your feelings are showing.

Well, what can I say?
Let's stop being shy
and put an end to the lie
It is love we must try.
