Run Away

Long Goodbyes

Paper Hearts

One of the things I'd like to do most in my music career is to write songs for other artists to sing, and write songs that get placed on great tv shows or films.  This is a recording I had created by the good folks at the522studio.com.  I made a demo that was similar to this, and the studio musicians and singer really made it come to life.

Whoa, the tide may come
swallow up the land I'm from
whoa the tide may come
drown my woes the tide may come

whoa, the grass may grow
grow up taller than my soul
whoa the grass may grow
over my head the grass has grown

Shadows don't go to sleep
shadows won't let me be
shadows don't go to sleep
follow me faster than my feet

(instrumental break)

Gravedigger gonna bury my name
earth and stone to cover my face
gravedigger gonna bury my name
shadows follow me into my grave

Shadows don't go to sleep
shadows won't let me be
shadows don't go to sleep
follow me faster than my feet

October Skies

Shades Of Grey

I'm Alright

You Don't Have To Go Home

Sleeper

I saw an angel through a doorway
She told me of her name
And though the syllables were hard to swallow
I spoke it just the same
In a dream, in a dream

I saw a cannon in a courtyard
Sat smoking like a liar
Though it held onto rain water
It’s purpose was for fire
In a war, in a war

Bright stars, fade away
Bright stars, fade away

I lost a lover from a distance
Painfully bloodless
Now we speak as if strangers
And fault ourselves for darkness
In the night, in the night

Bright stars, fade away
Bright stars, fade away

(repeat to end)

Up Too Late

Bright Stars

Super Hero from my 2009 release of "Up Too Late"

lyrics:
This time, you'll never get away
with this crime, think you can hide away
I found your secret lair
I caught you fair and square

Can we stop playing this game
give up the fight, baby tell me your name
cause you're a villain that's willing now hunny don't be shy
or act surprised when we start to fly, cause I'm a 

Super hero, living my life for justice baby
Super hero, saving the world for just us baby
Super hero, we could fly away
why don't you let me, save your day

You'd better, recognize who you're up against
try to shake me off with your best defense
you gotta cold shoulder and freezing eyes
I use x-ray vision see through the disguise

Come on baby tell me how do you feel
you can't last long 'gainst the man of steel
make up your mind, I got saving to do
I wouldn't be a super hero if I only saved you

Chorus

Solo

We could fly away, why don't you let me save your day.

This is the same recording from 2005, but edited, remixed and remastered.  I only removed certain instruments, or cleaned up rhythm/pitch issues.  Please enjoy!
