MAKE ME LOVE AGAIN

By David Snyder

V1

Looking for a reason looking for a way
looking for an antidote to yesterday
looking for a person who can see beneath my skin
looking for any place on earth that would take me in
looking for a person who won't judge me
for a few mistakes I've made along the way

CH

So I'm looking for anyone anywhere anytime
just looking for someone who I can call a friend
any smile, any touch, you know that I don't ask for much
just anything that could make me feel like me
and make me love again
and make me love again

V2

Fighting for some answers, and you know I'm not afraid
I'd like to throw it in reverse , don't like this world we've made
So I'm looking for a person with some goodness in their eyes
looking for any place on earth that sells truth instead of lies


CH

So I'm looking for anyone anywhere anytime
just looking for someone who I can call a friend
any smile, any touch, you know I don't ask for much
just anything that could make me feel like me
and make me love again


BR

Oh I'm tired of falling down
from the sorrow in my soul, every time I look around

CH

So I'm looking for anyone anywhere anytime
just looking for someone who I can call a friend
any smile, any touch, you know  I don't ask for much
just anything that could make me feel like me
and make me love again

Make Me Love Again

You know I need the rain today
Gonna cleanse my blues away
Give it slow and get it done
Hey now girl
Am I the one

I can't watch the news today
Gonna turn it off turn it away
Give it light under the sun
Hey now girl
Am I the one

We don't hold more than today
Gonna push our cares away
Give them chase and make them run
Hey now girl
Am I the one

You know I need the rain today
Gonna cleanse my blues away
Give it slow and get it done
Hey now girl
Am I the one

Give it slow and get it done
Hey now girl
Am I the one
Give it slow and get it done
Hey now girl
Am I the one

Hey Now Girl

Relax, close your eyes, and let your mind wonder.

I am playing via my MIDI controller keyboard the cellos, double basses, and the flute.  Band-in-a-Box is supplying the rest of the tracks.

Brotherland


we grew up north of happy
across the river from getting by
born under a bad sign
the song he played after school

you better stay on planet Star Wars
my brother winked blazing that J
this world`s done he`d say
tell you what we`ll do

we`ll make another country
we`ll do things different there
in brotherland
we can`t fly
they`ll never know never know
we walk
walk an inch above the ground

we ran under the radar
he said proud nails get hammered down
the first kids on the moon
they`ll never find our base

I wonder if he even knows
he was half the air in my world
between the bottle and his girl
we built our escape

we made another country
we do things different there
in brotherland
we can`t fly
they`ll never know never know
we walk
walk an inch above the ground

I Used To Relish My Time Alone

I used to relish my time alone
When I could do just what I pleased
I used to relish my time alone
These days I hate to see her leave

I used to dream about the highway
I thought that freedom meant to move
A moving target that was my way
Love was just a chain to be removed

I used to relish my time alone
Now I crave her company
I used to relish my time alone
These days I hate to see her leave

Believed that I could do it on my own
Thought I was finding my own path
Finally discovered what freedom truly meant
On the day that I gave her my heart


What a thrill to know that someone cares
Every pleasure’s sweeter if it’s shared
No man is an island, now I know
What the poet meant almost 400 years ago

I used to relish my time alone
When I could do just what I pleased
I used to relish my time alone
These days I hate to see her leave

I used to relish my time alone
Now I crave her company
I used to relish my time alone
But now I hate to see her leave

I Used To Relish My TIme Alone

I can see that you’re troubled
I’ve been down that road
Won’t you lean on me, lean on me
I’ll shoulder the load
I know you’re a proud one
but don’t feel ashamed
Thinking what you’re thinking
Is a dangerous game.

So don’t retreat in silence
Don’t shut me down
Just talk to me, talk to me
I’m here right now

I know that you’re trying
To do this alone
But it’s hard, it’s so hard
To do it all on your own
I know you’re a proud one
Well, I was once too
But sometimes we need someone
To help us pull through

It takes one to know one
I’ve been where you are
Trust me when I tell you
We both have our scars

===== Lyrics =====
[A]	
If Life sometimes knocks you down
Get up and get going
Don’t surrender with a groan or a frown
Get up and get going

[B]
A broken plate can be glued together
And re-built stronger than before
It’s the same when you overcome the upsets of Life
You’re stronger, tougher and can do more

[A´]
Scars of experience are badges of pride
So… get up and get going
Meet the world with a confident stride
Never give in and you’ll travel far

[C]
The seeds of success are yours to sow
Determination makes them grow
So whenever you tumble
Get up and get going

[INSTRUMENTAL]

Get Up And Get Going

Not everything in life goes the way you think it will.
Some things you see coming, some things come as a complete surprise.
Well, I simply underestimated the looming disaster in my relationship....

you and I
	
it was the first look into your blue eyes
that got me feeling this this is paradise

from then on began the best time in our lives
without suspecting what the fate should still decide

and then I said the last „I love you“

you and I
wanted to touch the sky
but what we could not see
that it was too high for you and me

everything seemed right and felt good
until our lives got stuck in a loop
	
and i saw the danger much too late
but you were already far far away

and then I said the last „I love you“

you and I
wanted to touch the sky
but what we could not see
that it was too high for you and me
		
solo

today we are best friends
everyone has his chance
it was a great time
and makes our memories shine

YOU AND I

The Impossible Blue


  grounded freighter tilting in the bay
  refugees through moonlight wade
  sacrifice their lodestone
  feather on feather bone by bone
  to give a child wings made new
  in the impossible blue

  a blind girl`s rainbow songs the deaf man hears
  every breath to still hold dear
  gratitude their lodestone
  feather on feather bone by bone
  building wings to carry them through
  to the impossible blue

  Elysium Green or Burnt Umber Dream
  the canvas has no colour you must choose
  for sky where all flags fly
  in your painting box find 
  Impossible Blue
                             
  we live our lives on this asylum earth
  every madness seen inside us first
  atonement our lodestone
  feather on feather bone by bone
  building wings to carry us through
  to the impossible blue
  building wings to carry us through
  the impossible blue

The Impossible Blue

For me, songwriting is a puzzle. I keep at it day after day after day. And eventually all the twisting and turning with words and rhymes morphs something worth smiling about.
