What can I say, I have a dark side, and I've been a very bad boy :-P

Cruel Temptation

For the woman I love, who also drives me crazy.

My Love for You Will Never Die

Lyrics:
A tree that blooms in winter
A year's accomplishments
We seek astonishment
For applause or some silver
Is it greed or vanity?
Are we found or lost my friends?
Its a shame humanity
Relies on drunken bets

Mother will you come see what I've done?
I've made a trillion just for fun
My soul for money
And money for love
Mother will you come see what I've done?

Can we stop climbing ladders
To steal forbidden fruit
Water our neighbor's roots
Lean into what matters
Show some generosity
Even mice will share a meal
Move forward society
Without our foolish zeal

Mother will you come see what I've done?
I've built a robot with a gun
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Mother wil you come see what I've done?

A Tree That Blooms In Winter

Verse 1
Through the years
We drift apart
Yet in heart
We're never far
In laughter and tears
We're bound
No matter where we are
When I close my eyes
I see the face
Of the ones I left behind
I hope y’all alive
Hope you’re hanging on
Hope I see you again in this life

Chorus 1
Bridges we've crossed
Bridges we've not
Tales yet untold
Bridges we've built
Bridges we've burned
With friends from the old

Verse 2
Tired of walking a straight line
How could I be so blind
A wolf in a mirror
Holding on to lies 
My reflection at times
Is swept down the river

Chorus 2
Bridges we've crossed
Bridges we've not
Tales yet untold
Bridges we've built
Bridges we've burned
With friends from the old

Outro 
La la la la la la la
Bridges will bring me back to you 
La la la la la la la
Bridges will bring us back
La la la la la la la
Bridges will bring me back to you 
La la la la la la la
Bridges will bring us back

Verse 1
Walking
Broken streets
Crossed lines
I'd never breach
Yeah
Built walls
Where hearts should be
Took more
Than meant to keep
No absolution

Verse 2
Lifted
Darkest masks
Regret
My shaded past
Yeah
Fell thru
Quickest sands
Deserve
What I get
Don’t pull me out

Bridge
If I won’t look up
Don’t look back
For the things I’ve done 
l could never do that
If I won’t look up
Don’t look back
For the things I’ve done 
l could never do that
If I won’t look up
Don’t look back
For the things I’ve done 
l could never do that
l could never do that
l could never do that
l could never do that
l could never do that
Hey

Chorus
No absolution
No absolution
No absolution
No absolution

Outro
No absolution
No absolution
No absolution
No absolution

No Absolution

Verse 1
Walking
Down Olvera
Bittersweet
To be near ya
In ten minutes that rail-car is coming to take you away
Take you away
See ya smiling from the window but I wish you would stay
Wish you would stay

Pre 1
We're far enough from the solstice
The sun is setting way too soon tonight
Your lipstick on my neck says you’re coming back
But I see that wild runner in your eyes

Chorus 1
Yeh
You are my ride or die
Yeh
You gotta chase your sky
You left me with the summer I’ll always remember 
You’re on a one-way train to Denver
A one-way train to Denver

Verse 2
Waiting 
For the sunrise 
Fading
Lost in my mind
And I’m aching for your babe trying to drown it, drink by drink, drink by drink
Every pub in town plays that Billy Joel tune you sing

Pre 2
Two days past and I'm already dying for ya
If you’re not coming back here I won’t stay
Might be time to leave California
Cuz everytime I see the ocean I see your face

Chorus 2
Yeh
You are my ride or die
Yeh
You gotta chase your sky
You left me with the summer I’ll always remember 
I’m on a one-way train to Denver
A one-way train to Denver
A one-way train to Denver

One-Way Train to Denver

Verse 1
One-armed bandit on sevens
Looking down from heaven
Cigarette and coffee in hand
Lived on double-wides
And blackberry pies
Gotta ask you won’t understand

Pre 1
Whoo Whooo
Whooo hooo hooo

Verse 2
LA to LA
Red roads to gray
Bourbon to tequila
What do I miss the most
Catfish and gumbos
Or that I'll never see ya

Chorus 1
Whoo Whooo
Whooo hooo hooo
Whoo Whooo
Whooo hooo hooo
When the wind's blowing ya down
When summer has faded out
Well I hear ya calling
On Sunday morning
Watching leaves of the fallen

Bridge
This for the ones down in Anacoco
Where the cypress meets the riverbed
This is for the ones in Texarkana
Who would trade their lives for a friend
Here's to the season
Look them in the eye
With a gleam of thankful surprise
Raise up a glass to that family and friends
The lost but not forgotten

Chorus 2
And shine on the good times we had 
Do not trip on your past
But when I hear ya callin'
I start to ballin'
Watching Leaves of the Fallen
When the wind's blowing ya down
When summer has faded out
Well I hear ya calling
On Sunday morning
Watching leaves of the fallen

Outro
Watching leaves of the fallen

Leaves of the Fallen

Better times ahead
Better times ahead
Better times ahead
Better times ahead

You, you are so kind
You, you are so fine
You, you will shine, tonight
You, you will find

The love you needed
The love you sought
The love meant for you
Your love is not lost

I know you still hurt
I know you still love
I know you still believe
I promise, you will be loved

For the selfish you met
For the selfish, who didn't care
For the selfish, who took you for granted
For the selfish, who were not there

They will soon learn
They will soon be fair
They will soon become
They will soon care

Because there are,

Better times ahead
Better times ahead
Better times ahead
Better times ahead

You, you are so kind
You, you are so fine
You, you will shine, tonight, tonight
You, you will find

The love you needed
The love you sought
The love meant for you
Your love is not lost

The hurt
You once lived
The hurt
You could not forgive

The hurt
Will end
The hurt
Will end

Because there are,

Better times ahead
Better times ahead
Better times ahead
Better times ahead

You, you are so kind
You, you are so fine
You, you will shine, tonight, tonight
You, you will find

The love you needed
The love you sought
The love meant for you
Your love is not lost

Better Times Ahead

Ain't Worth a Damn Thing

Bridges we've crossed and bridges we've not, in tales yet untold.
Bridges we've built and we've burned, with friends from the old.
