Upon a Spark

Chasing Dreams

Coffee Time

I lost my wheels, I lost my pay.
Home is just a memory now.
My wife's left, turned her back on me.
I'm left with all this slack.

[Verse 2]
Streetlights singing lullabies.
Junkies now my alibis.
People with mental health issues 
are sharing their green pills
The city's heart beats so dead.

[Chorus]
Under the porch where I lay.
Dreams fade in the night.
Holding onto the grey.
Hoping for a spark of light.

[Verse 3]
Emergency hospital ain't no fate.
The tent is too small for us
The sky's the limit.
In this life, I've woken up.

Verse 4
Concrete pillow by my side.
Lonely heart, no place to hide
Cold winds blow but I stand still.
No need now for fentanyl

OUTRO
Whispers of a better day.
Waiting for dawn to find the way.
Even shadows have their call
I'm sure one day a door might just swing.
Bring back the man who'll be king

Mind the Gap       Lyrics in description

Verse]
She's got a sparkle in her step today
Wears the world in a curious array
Messy hair like the winds took a twirl
She's the everyday beauty of an unordinary girl

[Verse 2]
Paint-stained jeans and a secondhand coat
She writes her own story on a wrinkled note
Eyes like secrets that light up the sky
She laughs like she doesn't need a reason why

[Chorus]
Oh unordinary girl you're a masterpiece
Turning little moments into symphonies
Every glance is like a shooting star's pearl
Oh the simple magic of an unordinary girl

[Verse 3]
She hums a tune only she understands
While the whole world trips trying to make plans
She's not a puzzle she's a whole new world
Perfect imperfection unordinary girl

[Bridge]
While others chase diamonds she stops for the rain
Finds art in the chaos beauty in pain
She's a world of her own a meteor's swirl
A fleeting wonder unordinary girl

[Verse 4]
She never walks she dances the street
Her melody plays in her shuffle of feet
She's not in the crowd she's her own swirl
Wondrous and wild unordinary girl

Unordinary girl.   Lyrics in description

“Since You’re Gone”

Lyrics/music by Steve Turner
12/5/21
                   
Since you’re gone, I’m a mess
And I dont know what to do.                   
Tryin’ to make it through one day at a time                                              
Since you’re gone, I’m adrift, 
I’m in zero gravity              
Since you’re gone, my smile has gone away.

V1                 
Sunny day, stroll the grounds, 
Mr. Squirrel shows us around,                                              
Say hello to Edgar Allan Poe. 

Take a drive, Mason Lane,
Back to where our road began,
There’s quite a zoo awaiting us back home.

Bundle up, telescope,            
And we’ll gaze up at the moon  
Just like we used to do when I was new.

CH1                    
Since you’re gone, Carry on,     
Got my poker face from you (but i)              
Don’t know what to do with all these tears.                   
Since you’re gone, I’m adrift,                               
I’m in zero gravity,                           
Since you’re gone the sunshine’s gone away.

V2                                                           
Play a game, peek-a-boo,                                
Like your ferrets used to do,                        
I think your dog just kicked me off the couch.   
                                       
Have a smoke, make you laugh,                         
All the silly things we did,                                               
Can’t believe we won’t be doing them no more.

BRIDGE
Sister Sallie writes a letter,
I can think of nothing better,
Mister Max just stares and barks at me.

Mother picking up the phone,
Baby bird is flying home to 
Be with me…

CH/coda
Since you’re gone,
Look for me,
Hiding in the lost and found.
Don’t bother coming ‘round,  Cuz I’m not home. 

Since you’re gone, life goes on,
And though I know it’s just a dream…
                                   
Someday you and I will meet again.                                  
One day I will be with you again.     
                            
Someday we will share the moon again.

Since You're Gone (demo)

Love Blaze, wanted to make something similar.

Woke up pissed at the city again,
Same damn sirens kickin’ at 5 a.m.
Window view was a concrete wall,
Neighbors screamin’ through the hall.
Town felt tired and so did I,
Been drinkin’ too hard just to get by.
Found a half-smoked joint on the windowsill —
Took one drag, I’ve had my fill.

I’m just lookin’ for somewhere new,
A place where a lost man can make do.
World keeps turnin’, hurt keeps burnin’ —
But I’m tryin’ to turn me too.
I’m just lookin’ for somewhere new,

Met an older lady by the station door.......
Silver hair tied back, maybe late fifty-four...
She said, “Son, you look like hell warmed twice,”
I laughed, said, “Ma’am, that’s oddly nice.”
We shared a smoke and a cheap beer can,
Talked about life, how it ruins your plans.
She said, “This city took years I can’t get back —
And stayin’ put just keeps you stuck in the past.”
Then the bus rolled in with a rusty sigh —
She squeezed my hand, said, “Give wandering a try.”

I’m just lookin’ for somewhere new,
A place where the hard days don’t come due.
Hope’s still open, faith gets broken —
But I keep walkin’, it’s what I do.
I’m just lookin’ for somewhere new,

Every barstool preacher’s got his version of truth,
Every addict’s carryin’ somethin’ from youth.
Some folks sober, some folks drown —
We’re all just tryin’ to turn life around.

Rolled through fields where the wheat stood still,
Found a bar tucked under a low brown hill.
Ordered whiskey ’cause the cold bit hard,
Said, “Figure I’ll thaw before I fall apart.”
Bartender snorted, “Son, you’re half bad luck.”
I said, “Yeah… bein’ me ain’t no skill I picked up.”
He slid the glass — I took a burning sip,
Said, “Next year I’ll quit… once I get a grip.”
He laughed, “Nobody’s perfect — keeps my doors open’ wide.”
Then pointed west, “Go chase a warmer sky 

I’m just lookin’ for somewhere new,
A place where a man ain’t trapped in his blues.
Road keeps callin’, fears keep fallin’ —
But I’m still movin’ through.

Maybe someday I’ll settle down,
Find a porch, claim a little ground with you.
But not today — I’m jus passin’ through,
Tryin’ to learn how to be brand new.

Something New

FIRST OF ALL, No Promoters or so-called VIDEOS experts.

All songs, -music and lyrics - are copyrighted..
As a composer, I like to sing, with my natural voice or slightly transformed with different devices, according to my mood. I also play all kinds of keyboards and a little bit of 6-string guitars, both acoustic and electric.I'm pretty old, but I've still got a fairly wide vocal range, though it's getting lower and lower.
I also have a small home studio called Vesuvius( thx Sufjan Stevens! )
I like to work alone, or with two or three partners, male or female, highly qualified.
And I get some much fun to discover amazing new talents on Soudcloud. That's why I follow more people than I'm followed by. I'm just too curious..
