Very well done – great track from start to finish!

There’s nothing wrong with me
Need no sharing and no fixing
Give me time to think
Time to look and time to listen

Stop the noise, the cacophony pours
I’ve had enough for today
Please let me slip out the door
Sometimes I need to fade away

Can’t be what I’m not to be
I’m not humble; I’m not proud
Cyclone scarred placidity
I’m in my mind; I’m out of the crowd

Stop the noise, the cacophony pours
I’ve had enough for today
Please let me slip out the door
Sometimes I need to fade away

Introversion

Shines No More

A song about a guy from long ago who met a girl, lost the girl, and hopes to find her again.

Celtic Kiss

Once I was a lonely orphan living on my own.
Soon there came a fetching maiden to brighten up my home.
She came and brought her presence.  
We sang our Celtic Song.
She came, and just as quickly she's gone.

I 'member once when she was sickly lying on our bed.
She raised her head and then she kissed me.  
This is what she said:
"All my life I waited for someone just like you.  
Our God will answer prayers.  It's true."

I still hear her singing praises to our God above.
Somehow I still keep on breathing, living with her love.
Now I'm sad and lonely. I taste her on my lips, 
And soon I will be with her for one more Celtic Kiss.

Celtic Kiss

I am so far out of my comfort zone on this one that if I was playing baseball I would be behind the left field fence!

I am playing the bass, rhythm, and lead guitars as well as trying to sing; my asthma and allergies let up for a day! I also played about half of the B3 track with Band-in-a-Box playing the balance of that track as well as the drum track.

Cellular Zombies

Verse
They are walking in our town like they're the only ones around
Their heads are always down like they're looking at the ground
Throughout our country they do roam
Heads down staring at their phone

Verse
They think it's really neat, they just sent 50 tweets
They walk into stop signs, some right into the street
Glassy eyed and walking blind
I'm not sure they have a mind

Chorus
They are Cellular Zombies
Addicted to their phones
Cellular Zombies
Even in groups they are alone

Verse
The pictures that they take are always free
Good thing because of the number of sellfies
Pictures of all the food they ate
Enough to make me regurgitate

Cellular Zombies

I hear her voice in the deep twilight
You dream your dream live your life
Try to find the sound 
I get lost I get found

My baby’s wild she lives on the ledge
She sits along the river’s edge
This mountain town
She gets lost she gets found

Songbird living outside my door
He sings loud when it starts to pour
Song goes round
He gets lost he gets found 

I used to be your Superman
Catch my breath take my hand
Lose time gain ground
I get lost I get found

I'm All Right Now You Left

Just set back and let your mind wander.
I am playing the nylon string guitar and via my wind controller the Bansuri flute. Band-in-a-Box is playing the rest of the tracks.

That's My Mama

You are in a very private special place.  You get really scared and nervous when evil tries to take over your mind and body.  But then you calm down when good takes over.  Back and forth you go.  Which will win?  You have to listen to find out!

I am playing the bass, guitar, and via my keyboard controller the choir. Band-in-a-Box is supplying the rest of the tracks.

Inner Sanctum

Something in your way
Somewhere in your eyes
An open invitation 
But I know I won’t reply

Because there’s nothing I will do
And nothing I will say
And the more and more I fantasize
The more you slip away

I’m wishing on a love 
I can’t make real
Reaching out for something
I know I'll never let me feel

But I could be wrong
You could be right
You could be the fire in my life
You could be strong
Carry my weight
Be the iron in my gate
You could be every note
That I would ever sing
You could be my falling star
You could be my everything

It might be a mistake
I’ve made my share and more
Another episode of cowardice
Well, I’ve seen this show before

And still you pull my heart
With the mischief in your smile
While every breath’s a stop and start
Every inch a mile

But, oh, those little moments
Make me fall
How can everything seem possible
When I know it’s not at all

But I could be wrong
You could be right
You could be the fire in my life
You could be strong
Carry my weight
Be my savior, be my fate
You could be every joy that 
Love and heaven brings
You could be my angel, baby
You could be my everything

And all these blinds of mercy
That I have sadly drawn
Are the only things that I have
Ever learned to count upon 

So all the light the darkness
Let’s me see
It's just another empty laugh
I guess, the joke’s on me

You Could Be My Everything

Baby, give a long look
Read me like an open book
Lay on out your love hook
Baby won’t you let me bite
Won’t you let me bite

Call me on my cool bluff
Sway me with your smooth strut
Give my love a sweet shove
Baby, I can be so shy
I can be so shy

You know I ain’t so no go
Ask me now I’ll tell you everything you want to know
And let you take me to the other side
I want to hold you, breakthrough
Tell me how, I’ll do it just the way you want me to
Make you melt like ice
Baby, just tell me what you like

Give me what I ask for
Shake me on the dance floor
Take me out the back door
Baby, can you get me high
I want to get so high

Put me on your wish list
Pull me close by both wrists
Just another wet kiss
And baby, you can make me fly
You can make me fly

You know I ain’t so solo
Take me now, I’ll go anywhere you want to go
And let you take me to the other side
I want to hold you, breakthrough
Tell me how, I’ll do everything you want me to
Make you melt like ice
Baby, just tell me what you like

I want to play with danger
Some artful stranger 
Who’ll turn my insides out
You’re a pretty young thing
Come make my heart sing
Reveal my eyes
With no disguise, no doubts

Show me how the heart quakes
Thunders as the room shakes 
Love me till the dawn breaks
And never never say goodbye
Never say goodbye
