Lyrics:

Butterfly Fly Away
Don’t you know I can’t fly with you, laugh with you, cry with you, any longer.

Yellow Moon is waning
And it’s hard to see in front of you, around you, inside you, my darling.

Butterfly, angel eyes, one lone voice that sings
You deserve to spread your wings

That's Just the Way/Summer 19

Butterfly, Fly Away (Demo)

Lyrics:

My mind is a dive. Illustrious. Defining.
I can show you to the holy river. Divining.
My style is so supreme. Nobody else has got my jeans.
My color is so inviting.

And when I know everything’s right
That’s how I know that it’s all my

Your leather is weathered. Faux. Textile.
My leather is better. Trousseau. Crocodile.
You stumbled out an AA meeting.
I’m a monster. BB King.
And you don’t have to be so vile.

And when I know everything’s right
That’s how I know that it’s all my
Don’t gimme truth it wastes my time
This mask is paper but it goes for miles

Your life is the blues. Not bright. Not groovy.
My life is a bop. Afrobeat. I feel ya, cutie.
And even if I’m all alone. I’ve built my kingdom, and my throne.
So sorry if I can get moody.

And when I know everything’s right
And I won’t ever need be nice
You’ve never been so outta sight
And everything is my, my, my

Lyrics:

Each day is a new day
If you’re in the state of mind
The sun always rises
More or less around the same time
It’s not too surprising
Everyone is one minute older
Good God if you’re there
Everyone could use a big shoulder

Right about now we need a new jam
No collared suit and pleated shoe jam
There’s no more news I need redone
I’ve heard every single one

Nothing new under the sun
Nothing new under the sun, under the sun

Every Will is an Is
And every Is becomes a Then-Has-Been
Grow up, it’s the same
You’re a child but you’ve grown thick skin
Make sure, ask your elders
“Am I gonna be okay?”
They’ll say “I was like you,”
“But it’s figured out today”.

And though they hold themselves like wisemen,
They still all cry at night survivin’
And the cycle keeps along,
And all their children sing the song

Nothing new under the sun
Nothing new under the sun, new under the sun

And as the sun (And as the sun)
Perns in a gyre (Perns in a gyre)
And the earth, poor girl, becomes a funeral pyre
And we lash out (And we lash out)
Into the sky (Into the sky)
And if someone heard our prayers then they are far behind
This sinking feeling
There’s not a drop
It just feels as if gradually your body stops
And there it is
The smoking gun
A rubber band signaling you back towards 1

About now we need a change up
Peel off our clothes, paint on some makeup
We’re churning out a pitiful sum
Every songbird has already sung

Nothing new under the sun
Nothing new under the sun, under the sun

Nothing New Under the Sun

Lyrics:

She used to be something
When she opened the door,
People would turn their heads
In fact, she was loving
She was sun, she was fire
On a rosy and petaled bed.

Only owls out in the dark.
A fire for the lonely matriarch.
She sleeps alone and as she wakes,
All she feels is an ache.

Let me know, Old Maid.
What did you do today?
When did you last drink champagne?
Do you remember the taste?

She lives in a hovel.
Terrestrial repent.
I heard that she prays all day.
Go thee and grovel,
But if I were the Lord,
Your actions would give you away.

Mmm poor girl.
I remember youth so well.
Just how beautiful and gay.
But it’s far behind today.

Let me know, Old Maid.
What did you do today?
When did you last drink champagne?
Do you remember the taste?

Old maid do not cry.
The tolling bell will tell its time.
Pray on your mortal heart.
That you’ll awake again to start.

Old Maid

That's Just the Way Overture

Lyrics:

If I ruled the world
There’s not a word that I could say
To make you feel alright
Ain’t it hard
Starting new every day
Then the day becomes the night

It gets hard
But I’ll be there if you need
If you want to start

I could build a steeple
And a million monuments
To your grace and all your goodwill
All for naught, when your world starts to bend
And your fingers start to tremble

I can only row my boat ashore
And be there by your side
If I could do anymore

My friend, my Calypso
Rest on my shoulder and be still
If it is what you need
If it’s all, I can do then I will
Because you’ll be there for me

If I Ruled the World

Drum track by sarawut41107541 at looperman.com

Lyrics:

I woke up this morning and felt it in the air
No warmth to me but I feel I’m already there
But I know, ooh-ooh
It can’t be too much longer
I want to see the water
And I have

Summer (summer, summer) on my mind
Summer (summer, summer) on my mind
Wait another year for peace of mind
And until the day, I just slip away

Winter is thawing and the skies crack with thunder
And before I know it I’ll feel the warmth rising under
And if I’m lucky
I’ll sit inside the moment
And feel the seasons rolling
Rolling by to

Summer (summer, summer) on my mind
Summer (summer, summer) on my mind
Wait another year for peace of mind
And until the day, I just slip away

Day’s again breaking and it’s here in my head
But soon as I lay down to rest again in my bed
It’s all gone, ooh-ooh
Tomorrow is September
And all there is are embers, all there is is

Summer (summer, summer) on my mind
Summer (summer, summer) on my mind
Wait another year for peace of mind
And until the day, I just slip away

Summer on my Mind

Lyrics:

Let me tell you all I know about the Patchwork Man
And the Linen Woman from the Textile Land
They met early in the night in spring, when the cotton was blooming
And the yarn poked up through the button sands

She was wrapped in single dress
Comfortable, no duress
His right eye came from his father’s vest
And his knees were sewn from failed tests

And all her friends told her
He’s been thrifted and molded over
But there was something good
That made her understand

And Linen Woman from the Textile Land and her quiet Patchwork Man
Hit it off at the Thimble Bar beside the Haberdasher Band
And they said words like love and sweet romance
And when everything seemed okay they got up and started to dance

They moved in to the Cozy Inn, fun and fancy free
Together as happy as happy could ever be
And though they came from different sides of the city
They stitched themselves together and quite effortlessly

And though sometimes the man would cry from stress and stressors more
And though the Woman sometimes failed to understand what it was for
Every night they made sure to sit and laugh and love
In their humble little quilted room and quilted floor

But still a nagging feeling
That she couldn’t give him all the healing
That he needed
They were just built from different threads but

The Linen Woman from the Textile Land and her quiet Patchwork Man
Hardly faltered when they could always hold the other’s hand
And they said words like love and sweet romance
And when everything seemed okay they got up and started to dance

But one year later an angry cloud focused on the knitted crowd
And the Patchwork Man came home and began to yell at her aloud
She said “Baby love watch your words I can see that you speak, but your tongue’s not yours”
And he said she’d never understand she’s had it easy and oh so proud

And with a slam from the man she was left alone, a feeling far too new
A teardrop fell and tore her cheeks of linen and out of it the cotton oozed
And like he left the Man returned taken by remorse
And when he saw her face he got spool and a patch of Prussian blue

And as she gazed at her reflection
And saw her man and all his imperfections
They fell into
Each other’s loving arms

And the Patchwork Woman from the Textile Land and her quiet Patchwork Man
Learned that they’re built of the things that build them up and put them down
And they said words like love and sweet romance
And when everything seemed okay they got up and started to dance

Patchwork Man

I wrote this song in June, 2020. Hopefully it never has to be relevant again.

Lyrics:

I guess we’ll keep it real

I never hurts to close your eyes once in a while, in the middle of the day
But it hurts when your daydreams never let up, and they get in the way
Pepsi Cola and ice cream do just fine, when you sit in the sand
And the onslaught of heat takes you away, as it melts in your hands

Then you hear a scream (Probably children playing)
Then you hear a shot (God bless the USA)
Somewhere there’s a siren (Someone needs a new AC)
And a noose and a knot (What a way to ruin a day)
Now you can’t breathe (This is my sacred summer)
Now your throat’s cut (Shouldn’t I get a say)
Could you just bleed (This is my sacred summer)
In your ice cream cup? (Would it get in the way?)

So now you know the deal.

Next day you slip the headphones around your neck, to drown out the sound
Pretty soon you’ll be doing more than fine, as you rest in the ground
A perfect lonely day at the sea, and it’s all there for you
Too bad no-one else is here, they could be resting too

Take a dip in bliss (Hello operator?)
In the rosy well (Could you put me through to the law?)
So you don’t feel again (Someone’s in the parking lot)
Cut out the hell (Should I use lethal force?)
And left behind (I can still hear them shouting)
A societal mute (And my shades don’t block them out)
Both eyes blind (If they knew any better)
Tanning on the roof (They’d get a job and leave me out)
