Edge Of Desire (live cover)

Lyrics and music by Andrew James Jiao
(C) 2016

He took the bus to San Jose
To the town where he once stayed
Saw the fields of rice he knew
A quaint and poignant view

He said "I've taken every step
Towards an end still never met
Now my thoughts shall now return
To the brown and gentle earth"

They cry out "Birth in me a new beginning"

She swept the floor of their new home
Thoughts, they sweep through the unknown
For where time would carry her
In the vague and gray future

They cry out "Birth in me a new beginning"

The sun rises now
A new day dawning
The dew in the grass
The tears of the evening
Soon will dry up
Soon will dry up
Soon will dry up


San Jose (A New Beginning)

Do You Want To Be Mine (solo)

JULY 16, 2019 just making this public now for the band lol hope no one notices

She is a girl I met one January noon
Borrowed some books and said that I’d return them soon
When she asked about them I couldn’t find the words to say
I’ve never read a page until this day

Please be careful
You’ll be careful
Won’t you
Do be careful
Don’t you dare fall for words like these

I won’t dare to make a move
No I won’t dare to make a move

She is a girl who’s made of sugar more than spice
And, by some lovely accident, everything nice
She’s wise beyond her years. It’s in her soul, it’s in her name.
She’s clumsy and childlike all the same.

Please be careful
You’ll be careful won’t you
Do be careful
Don’t you dare fall for words like these

I won’t dare to make a move
No I won’t dare to make a move

Keep this story in a bottle
Throw it out into the sea
It could sink under the water
Or find its way to you and me
And by God if it’s the latter
Then maybe then maybe
Just maybe...

She was a poet who was barefoot on stage
Saw her December under starlight and the rain
I am a troubadour, my feet were meant to roam
But when I heard her voice I longed for home

She (draft)

Troubadour (draft)

you took a train heading out to nowhere
thats where you were headed in the first place
new job
new city

you knew the names of people you wouldnt call friends
and you were just another pretty face
in the new job
in the new city

in a station middle of nowhere
thats where i saw you with a suitcase
new life
old city

i missed
your smile
i know
its been a while
old friend
its all right
youre here
dont cry

hey baby
your sorrow
ends here today
youre strong
independent
im here to stay
