AGATA - Lyrics

Open your eyes
Take a step upon the moon
In your own time
Do as you do
Ask yourself why
Slowly come across the truth
And don’t be to shy
Just be you
I have you 
Who always dreams something brand new
I have you
Waiting for this to come true
And you do
Hoping in someone who’s special, he’d be better
He’ll be showing how to do
Open your eyes it ‘ll be better, you’ll reflect it
In the mirror of your room
Hoping in someone who’s better, he’d be better
It’ll be showing how to do
Open your eyes it’ll get better or you regret it
On a sunday afternoon
mmm...mmm..mmm

A Sailor's Tale (Will You Wait For Me?)

Triffid & SongWolfe's entry for the 2018 March Collaboration contest.

Footprints in the Snow

First single from the new album Pink Lemonade, out November 30, 2018.

Good Love

Dedicated to the self serving,smug folk who place value on material possessions and class position. They scramble their way to the top by using others like rungs on a ladder. I've heard their casual racism,I've born witness to their uncaring nature.

I also know something for sure,it's not me and I wouldn't want to be them,not for all the money they will leave behind when they exit this life having been very poor human beings.

When an earthquake kills a town
It's far away
Those people don't look like me
No matter what you say

I smile when a baby cries
It's not for me
When the police car wails it's siren
I know I'm home free

I'm a winner
Look at me now
I'm a winner

The poor folk have no money
Sure that's not cool
Instead of making babies
They should have stayed at school

I don't care about you
You mean nothing to me
I sit here in isolation
I do what's good for me

I believe what Darwin said
He'd worked it out
I'll step on you to reach the top
There is no doubt

I'm a winner
Look at me now
I'm a winner
Look at me now
I'm a winner
You're nothing to me
I'm a winner
You're nothing to me

The Winner ( It's Not Me)

10/16/2018 Update:  In case you're wondering about this song's title, I recently played it for an A&R guy from Warner Music Group and a Nashville publishing company VP, and they suggested the name be changed to "Sylvia Grace", so I took their advice.  "Graceful Waves" it is no more.

I began writing this song for my daughter 20 years ago while on a beach in Florida.  Some children were playing in the surf nearby and it made me think of how much she would enjoy doing that.  I finally dusted off the lyrics to finish them, added chords, and recorded this super rough demo.  Will re-record it when time allows.  
Lyrics:
I looked out on the ocean and an aching filled my heart, 
The topaz water sparkled like a million mirror parts.
The Gulf Coast sun was shining on the padded powder sand.
A fresh sea breeze was cooling off the creatures of the land.

My mind turned to your mother--how she would love that place. 
A stroll along that shore would take the sadness from her face.
But standing on the sand it wasn’t Momma that I missed,
Seeing children splashing laughing by the crystal water-kissed.

Sylvia Grace, I saw your beautiful sweet face.
Shine in the sun, in the waves and on the run.   
Chasing the tide; squishing sand between your toes,   
Oh Gracie D, you are our precious lovely rose!

But the years have flown by…

And now you’ve got your "big-girl" job in Denver,                
Engineering structures of great reach;
Selling steel and climbing the fourteeners.
I wonder.  Will we ever walk that beach…..together, but in that moment…

It wasn’t hard to picture you, there playing in the sand,
Splashing in the shallows,    with a sea-shell in your hand, 
Watching surf roll in and out, enjoying the illusion,
Of “moving” while you’re standing still in undertow’s confusion

Oh Grace!  I saw your beautiful sweet face.
Shine in the sun, in the waves and on the run.   
Chasing the tide; squishing sand between your toes,   
Sylvia Grace, you are our precious lovely rose!

with no meter nor tether
lolling from malkuth to kether
tossed in seas ebb an rip
brooding storms of lightning

where doesnt the life force speak
bubbling in the deepest abyss
circling air on the mountains peak
bending clay as each day moves on

in th wildest dreams th starry searches
salt meets pearl in some unlikely places
th ever changing sands drift on an on
ancient drift wood naked passes

in th wildest winds the sun drifts sky
th ever changing shadows 
ancient wood glow - life springs forth
with th spirit of th fallen
