Over the last couple of years of listening to your music, I can hear the evolution of your sound.  This is great!  I love the cello and the sparseness of the arrangement.

I love the restrained dignity and stately pace of this, John! Lovely arrangement, too :)

Turn It Around

Mind Over Matter

Have You Ever Been In Love

Blessing In Disguise

Too Proud

Lost in Rain

you take me
you break me
send me
away

you mend me
defend me
tell me
to stay

mind on fire
thoughts obscene
nighttime ravaged
fever dreams
daylight promised
fear restrained

life goes on
lost in rain

I need you
I bleed you
force you
to pray

I see you
I'll be you
A role I
can play

mind on fire
thoughts obscene
nighttime ravaged
fever dreams
daylight promised
fear restrained

life goes on
lost in rain

clear cut reasons given
by the one who holds my heart
for the seasons I am living
as my world just falls apart

mind on fire
thoughts obscene
nighttime ravaged
fever dreams
daylight promised
fear restrained

life goes on
lost in rain

life goes on
lost in rain

Crunch Went the Snow - New Mix

There'll Be Roses

Once someone has gone from your life, you'll never get the chance to tell them all the things you'd rehearsed in your mind.

LYRICS/VOCALS by Rachelle Wells. MUSIC/VOCALS John Staples

"Nothing Left to Say"

VERSE

Goodbye’s my favorite word
since I lost sight of you
If I say it enough times
Will I believe it’s true?

VERSE

When it’s quiet outside
I can almost hear your voice
Wish tonight that I might
See your face one last time

CHORUS

(Wish that you had known
How much I loved you
Wish you could’ve seen it
In my darkened eyes
Wish you’d known I cared
More than I could ever say
But these wishes mean nothing
‘Cause it’s far too late
And there’s nothing left to say
No, there’s nothing left to say)

VERSE

i can choose the image
that you make in my mind
pretendin' that one day
you would've been mine

VERSE

if only i’d been brave enough
to finally take the chance
i stayed silent and afraid
Said no to the dance

CHORUS

(Wish that you had known
How much I loved you
Wish you could’ve seen it
In my darkened eyes
Wish you’d known I cared
More than I could ever say
But these wishes mean nothing
‘Cause it’s far too late
And there’s nothing left to say
No, there’s nothing left to say)

BRIDGE

Lay that pretty head down
Right here next to mine
I’ll listen to you breathing
As our fingers entwine

Oh, I’m just daydreamin’
Regret’s my closest friend
I ought to put it all away
This song will be the end

CHORUS

(Wish that you had known
How much I loved you
Wish you could’ve seen it
In my darkened eyes
Wish you’d known I cared
More than I could ever say
But these wishes mean nothing
‘Cause it’s far too late
And there’s nothing left to say
No, there’s nothing left to say)

END TAG

Wishes mean nothing
When it’s far too late
Now there’s nothing left to say
No, there’s nothing left to say

Lost in Rain
