Nothing ever is the way it was 
Nothing ever is the way 
Nothing ever is the way it was 
Nothing ever is 
The way 
It was 

It’s not the same, 
When you go back, 
People change
Emotions lack
It can never be
Even that little tree
Is standing tall
While you lost track

There’s been some cutbacks 
at our work
We lost 12 good ones
And kept the jerks
When I think back to times
I didn’t know were times
I guess I couldn’t see
The perks

Nothing ever is the way it was 
Nothing ever is the way 
Nothing ever is the way it was 
Nothing ever is 
The way 
It was 

Bridge
It was
A perfect time
It was
Imperfect rhyme
It was
Just how it was meant to be
It was
Romanticized
It was
As advertised
It was
And again will never be

Nothing ever is the way it was 
Nothing ever is the way 
Nothing ever is the way it was 
Nothing ever is 
The way 
It was 

Glory days are hard to see
As you live them
So carefree
But when it comes the time
To grab ahold or climb
You can’t look back
You can’t stop time

Nothing ever is the way it was 
Nothing ever is the way 
Nothing ever is the way it was 
Nothing ever is 
The way 
It was

The Way It Was

On A Yellow Bus
By Paul A. Fresty

I recall
As a boy
getting on the bus
to go 
to school
with you

You were cute
I was shy
I was just a little guy
learning how
to flirt

You held my hand
You were sweet
you set my heart to ease
I wasn’t scared
no more

I was blind
I was hypnotized
I was just a kid
and you 
were 
thirty-four


I feel in love
on a yellow bus
driving down the street
in an assigned seat

I feel in love
on a yellow bus
at fourth and main
I’ll never be the same.

As it turned out
you were married
and you had
three kids
in school

But I was sure
you were the one
for me
and I 
Professed
my love

You held my hand
and said that I was sweet
And you would be
so true

The school year passed
And you were kind
as you could be
And I 
still think
of you.

On A Yellow Bus

Light. Life. Hope and Peace on Earth.”

Featuring drummer Peter Telari of Revolution Pie and bassist/vocalist Eroc Sosinski of Wish You Were Here and Michael Stanley, this collaborative tribute recorded under the studio moniker of ‘Cream Tangerine’ is considered by the musicians to be a special gift to their friends and to the world at Christmas - as the lyrical and spiritual message of “Give Me Love” is very relevant for this holiday season.

The Mind Trip - The Beginning Of Eternity (Single Version)

A song about the pandemic, quarantine and social isolation... and the realization that we spend too much time looking at everyone else and everything else... instead of what is right in front of us... Our Gardens... our families and loved ones. Focus closer.

================================

I’m all alone on this ocean
It’s just me and my raft
I can’t remember
The days that passed.

I used to scan the horizon
for silhouettes in the sun
Those days are gone
Since these new ones begun

One day they put us all on rafts and pushed to sea
Some lost their lives, their loves, the very right to breathe
They said a storm was near and we should hold on fast
If we had any hope to last… we must distance from our past.

Seems I’m not alone on this ocean
There’s so much I hadn’t seen
Now I know where my eyes
Should have always been.

I used to scan the horizon
But now I look much more near
To love on the life
That grows right here.

One day they put us all on rafts and pushed to sea
Some lost their lives, their loves, the very right to breathe 
The storm it took it’s souls and faded into sun
A new day had begun… A new day.

Released like seeds in a whirlwind
We find land, make roots and grow
We learn to give…
In this garden… 
Relearn to live 
In this garden… 
We learn to forgive 
In this garden

In This Garden

Paul writes, records and releases his thoughts into the universe for your humor and enjoyment. Peace to you.
