True Love (OurVinyl Sessions)

Had a little lady....

---

Got no lover at my door
Had a little lady but I have no more
Guess I'll go down to the grocery store
Find another lover on the produce floor

Got no shirt left on my back
Had a little lady kept my mind on track
Now what I have is in my sack
And every night I find a new home by the railroad tracks

got no place to call my home
Had a little lady I could call my own
Now she's gone and I'm alone
Give me one good reason that I shouldn't roam
mm-mmm
mm-mmm
-mmm-mmmm

Got no car to get away
Had a little lady who would always say
Who you are is who you play
And we're all left with nothing at the end of the day
mm-mmm
mm-mmm
mmm-mmmmm

Got no one to say I love
Had a little lady who fit like a glove
But when that push comes to this shove
I'll have to find another one for dreaming of

So if I die out on this road
Had a little lady who would always know
Just at the end where I would go
Somewhere awful lonesome with myself alone

Now and Then

Inspired by the Yiannis Ritsos poem "In the barracks"

Verse 1:
The moon entered the barracks, silently
Ransacked the blankets of the infantry
She seized a naked hand, whispering, "Sleep"
Someone is talking in his dreams, deep

Pre-Chorus:
Someone is snoring, shadows dance on the wall
The last trolley car has passed, silence falls

Chorus:
Is it possible, they may be dead tomorrow?
Is it possible, they already bear that sorrow?
An infantryman wakes, eyes glassy in the night
A thread of blood hangs from the moon, pale and white

Verse 2:
The darkness fills the room, cold and tight
Moon's silver rays casting eerie light
He looks around, heart filled with dread
Silent whispers linger, thoughts in his head

Chorus:
Is it possible, they may be dead tomorrow?
Is it possible, they already bear that sorrow?
An infantryman wakes, eyes glassy in the night
A thread of blood hangs from the moon, pale and white

Bridge:
Dreams of battles fought and lost
Haunt the night, at such a cost
In the silence, fears take flight
Moon's cold gaze pierces the night

Chorus:
Is it possible, they may be dead tomorrow?
Is it possible, they already bear that sorrow?
An infantryman wakes, eyes glassy in the night
A thread of blood hangs from the moon, pale and white

Outro:
The moon entered the barracks, silently
Ransacked the blankets of the infantry
She seized a naked hand, whispering, "Sleep"
In the stillness of the night, secrets they keep...

The ballad of moonlit barracks

A song about not leaving your home enough.

---

Many years alone I stand on shores of the Pacific
And dreams of clear and distant lands have seemed to make me sick
I will not leave where I was born, I know of nowhere else
So drink with me, dear traveler
And tell me of yourself

I cut the wood to build the homes, dug the earth to lay the water
My hands are cracked and leathered bones burnt by fire and solder
Well, I will not be a millionaire, I've sold all my good health
But listen to me, traveler
and tell me of yourself

And yes, I too know our time too must too come to an end
You are the first that I have met not an enemy, a friend
We all must say goodbye someday but when we cannot tell
So before you go, I've got to know
Tell me of yourself

Dear Traveller

In the dark I find my fears
No one knows my silent tears
World outside it spins so fast
But I’m locked inside the past

Shadows whisper hurtful things
Heart feels heavy pain it brings
Lonely nights and empty days
Trapped inside this endless maze

When the sun refuses to shine
Lost in echoes of my mind
Can't escape the heavy rain
Drowning in the waves of pain

Smiles I wear they’re all pretend
Broken pieces hard to mend
Silent screams they echo loud
Lost in sorrow like a shroud

When the sun refuses to shine
Lost in echoes of my mind
Can't escape the heavy rain
Drowning in the waves of pain

Hope is faint a distant light
Fading in the endless night
Hold on tight just one more day
Maybe dawn will light the way

Shadows In My Mind
