In My Pocket

Now i have never met you
and maybe never won’t
it gave me some grief,
but now no longer don’t

Cause you’re here in my pocket
sometimes held by my hand
doesn’t matter how near
 or in a far distant land

Some secrets I am unfolding
And the once i tell you’re keeping
The seams are surely holding
So no one else is peeking 

Sometimes i have to mute, yes
Your buzzing nice and frequent
Others they are clueless
But to me not inconvenient 

Cause you’re here in my pocket
i hope you don’t mind
You see i’ve gotten to love it
have you close by my side

Cause you’re here in my pocket
And I know that you don’t mind
You say you quite enjoy it
Being close here by my side

In My Pocket

Right Here

Long Time Gone

Well you know honey i’ve been running
ain't gonna worry anymore.
Last night I felt no pain,
as passed out on the floor.

And I remembered a time
when you used to call my name,
but we both know
that's a long time gone.

It's harder to hang onto something,
when anytime it could slip out the door.
It's easy to know what you're missing,
when it's not around anymore.

You said I'd find it,
I'd find it at the end.
But we both know
that's a long time gone.

Honey, we're a long time gone.
Honey, we're a long time gone

We'll spend all that time looking,
for what that's so hard to find
The trouble you see is knowing,
what goes on inside that mind

And all that time I thought
that you and I were friends,
but we both know
thats a long time gone.

Honey, we're a long time gone
Honey, we're a long time gone

Long Time Gone

Guiding light

Well I just don’t know where I’d be without you
Or if I’d be anywhere at all
And it chills me to the bone to think about it
When loneliness comes knocking at my door.

You’re the only one
Who truly knows me.
And yes, indeed you put up with a lot
And in return I’ve tried to do the right things.
But mostly more often than not.

You were still there for me
Wrong or right
When the end of days becomes the night.
When I can’t find my way through the darkness
Make no mistake.
You’re my guiding light.

Sometimes you can’t fix what’s been broken.
Then a man just has to just accept his fate.
But I thank the Lord above that you still love me.
To help me bear that crushing weight

And you’re there for me
Wrong or right
When the end of days becomes the night
When I can’t fight the way through the darkness:
Make no mistake
You’re my guiding light.

Make no mistake
You’re my guiding light

Make no mistake
you’re my guiding light

Guiding Light

Bloody Birds 2

I was still asleep.
As the door made a squeak.
Dreams so bleak.
With effortless care

Turning with unease
Hearing the neighbor sneeze.
Allergic to trees.
Still dozy unaware

Bloody birds on the lawn
Bloody birds on the lawn
Bloody birds on the lawn
And the cat is also there

Stretching as I yawn
Could it already be dawn.
Bloody birds on the lawn.
And the cat is also there.

Out of bed with a goal
Tripping over kitties bowl.
Pain taking hold
The kitties victim cold

Bloody birds on the lawn
Bloody birds on the lawn
Bloody birds on the lawn
And the cat is also there

Bloody birds

Bloody Birds 2

OFF THE TRAIL

Looking for something 
a distance away
Both surely brightening
Our unknowing way

Far ahead is a flame
a promising sight.
Two souls of the same
Hurry on, while daylight

Come take my hand as we walk the path
This kind of love was meant to last
We'll balance without fear
It's still safe to fail
Knowing one of us is here
If one falls off the trail

Now slowly ascending
In the lateness of day
Warmness igniting
Flickering out the gray

Find time for some rest
Night is coming fast 
hands intertwine
Silently meant to last

Come take my hand as we walk the path
This kind of love was meant to last
And we'll banish all the fear
It's still safe to fail
Knowing one of us is here
If one falls off the trail

Off the trail

Knowing one of us here
If one falls off the trail

Off The Trail

Truly Told

Though much was said
Tho many a phrase
Foundation laid
Sweet familiar face

The smile so dear
A closer look
Was oh so near
The risk we took 

This truly said
Quite simply told
This truly said
Quite simply told

Meek and strong
Yea founded well
So safe belong
So now we tell

This truly said
Quite simply told
This truly said
Quite simply told

I’ll be longing

The day is over, the pace dialed down to slow
On the sky above me, the stars begin to show
Jupiter there with its beautiful moons
Mars over there, red fiery gloom 

As I look through my fingers at Orion’s belt
I swear it was your presence I just felt
Knowing with certainty, i don’t have to tell
That you can see the same stars as well

And so it is my love, so it is …could it be any better
And ill be longing

A gentle breeze makes me heave for breath
I turn to see something bright in the west
For a second I see a smile on your face
Before I realize it’s just the evening haze

How tiny our silhouettes are under the sky 
It’s as if we never met and had to say goodbye
But through this words and a simple little song
I’ll see you soon, don’t you know
It won’t be long

And so it is my love so it is
Could it be any better
So it is my love so it is
Come with me and be a part of this
And so it is my love so it is
Could it be any better

So it is my love so it is
And ill be longing
And ill be longing
And ill be longing
And ill be longing

I'll Be Longing

My head it hurts so bad
I can't read my writing on the page
I scanned the lines but I can't see
What's become of me

It's true that I ain't been the same
Since you saw me that last day
When you wore that worried smile across your face
As you wiped the tears away

You said tell me where you're going
'Cause I know what you're going through
And I wanna be thinking about ya
What's become of you

It's a question that I ask myself
All the time
What's become of me

You said tell me where you're going
'Cause I know what you're going through
N'a don't wanna be thinking about ya
What's become of you

It's a question that I ask myself
All the time
What's become of me

It's a question that I ask myself
All the time
What's become of me

She’s the number one most wanted
And you think you just found her
At a random subway station
Her hidden location

She’s been hunted fairly recent
Right out here, in your precinct
She was right in your grasp
She’s disappearing fast

She’s missing now since summer
You’ve looked up and down under
Searched in lost and found
She is underground

She’s left you just some small prints
so faded you need more hints
Will she give a sign
That she is on time?

She’s missing now since summer
You’ve looked up and down under
Searched in lost and found
She is underground

She’s outgrowing her dwelling
Your heart gets warm and swelling
Spring must be quite near
The dandelions here

Spring must be quite near
The dandelions here

The dandelions here

Most Wanted

The morning kinda lazy
The mind is still at peace
While peeking out the window 
I feel the winter breeze 

Tippy toes meeting the floor
Awakeing, feeling bold
A cup with heat and love
While remember what you told 

Won’t you come over here
Cause I missed you so all night
So please come over dear
Let’s enjoy the morning light

It might not be grand and flashy
“Oh it’s nothing” you might say
But those kind and spoken words
Made my smile remain all day

Won’t you come over here
Cause I missed you so all night
So please come over dear
Let’s enjoy the morning light


Won’t you come over here
Cause I missed you so all night
So please come over dear
Let’s enjoy the morning light

Let’s enjoy the morning light

Over Here

When I saw you, long ago caught up so quickly
Just a glance, indeed we knew that we just met
Then a day, a week a month passed rather swiftly
When you told me this that I could not forget

You said, I am pretty sure I have always known you
And time’s been standing still since we first met
You said mine a smile that stood out from a view
That this moment in our life we won’t forget

Could I feel any better than today 
And my smile is even wider than before
you already knew the words I want to say
Only I could not agree with you much more

I am pretty sure that I have always loved you
And time’s been standing still since we first met
When I saw your smile, then I already knew
That this moment in our life I won’t forget
