Heart Heavy

A little time, a little distance, a little space to think
Might be all we need, right now. I don't know if we've had too much
Or not enough, but, we've got to get over this, somehow
It only takes a breath or two to tear your world apart
Sticks and stones may break your bones but words can break your heart
Cutting words from careless lips, softly spoken, oh you can do damage and never scream and shout. Emotions get the best of us, we say things we don't mean.
And it's too late to take 'em back once they're out.
Oh, can we just start over?
Nobody won, what's done is done
We've got to let it go

The Trail Ahead

When I was a young boy roamin' on the railroad tracks
Put copper pennies on the rail, locomotive come and squash 'em flat
We'd run to fetch 'em back
Summer nights at Gran-ma's house cozy in my bed dreams of far-off places and other lives to be led, swirling in my head
And there's a train in the distance there's a whistle calling, silver moonlight falling
Now I am a grown man turning in my sleep, debts and obligations
Family ties run deep, promises to keep
You can ride that train to the far end of creation, away from everything and everyone you know, you better make friends with your angels and your demons, they will be riding with you wherever you may go, but you have to go
There's a train in the distance, there's a whistle calling,
 autumn leaves will be falling

Fred Astaire

I know you're disappointed, I can see it in your eyes
This isn't what you wanted and now you realize
I ain't no knight in shining armor who comes a-ridin' 'cross the lea
 Now, the merchants in the marketplace they're selling fantasy
It's a trick of light and shadow it's not reality
It's just a faded photograph of the man I used to be
You're lookin' for a younger man - not me
I knew the day I met you it was never gonna last
You're an angel from the future I'm an old devil from the past
So, trust me when I tell you this is the way it's meant to be
If you believe in better days ahead for this crazy human race
That we will somehow be delivered by goodness and by grace
And if you're lookin' for believers in faith and hope and charity
Then, you're lookin' for a younger man - not me

C

Got a message in my mailbox from an old friend I hardly ever see, all it said was you were trying to get a hold of me. I stared down at your number, and I felt passion and I felt fear. I wondered what the Hell you wanted after all the years? Cause there is danger in the embers, and I have only myself to blame, if I get burned when I try to rekindle that old flame.

C: Well I know we ended badly, and I was angry for a very long time. But I've grown some and I wanted you to know that I'm doing just fine. I'm not asking for a replay, I've got no delusions, got no designs. But can I borrow just a little cup of kindness for Auld Lang Syne?

Speak to me plain, tell me the truth. Is it me you really miss, or just your long lost youth?

Yeah there is danger in the embers, and you know nothing, nothing stays the same.
You can get burned when you try to rekindle that old flame.

AH HUN

Cats got your tongue
The jungle's won
Enemy lines trippin' your mama's son
But you say
You're keepin' us safe

In the hands
Of a god fearin' man
We turn our backs
he shakes the devils hand
I believe
We been deceived

Now you got her nylons in a rip
Runnin round tryin to make sense of it
Trying to grow flowers in your bullshit
You'd put out the sun if you got hold of it

Oh say can you see
The dawn of catastrophe
So many tears people down in the streets
Whatcha doin'
'Bout Kiddos Dreams

Pennies keep droppin
But nobody's stopping
You'll wash your hands and we'll be stuck with the problem
Sell the fear
Then disappear  NC

Payment

Some folks don't like workin' hard.
Some folks don't like rain
Some folks love to tell you 
all about their aches and pains.
Me, I take the hand I'm dealt
And I play it as it lays
It's the cost of living
And everyone pays

You can't live in memories
Of all your golden yesterdays
Or spend your whole life grieving
For the one that got away
Common sense says "let her go"
But your heart disobeys
It's the cost of living
And everyone pays

Blue shadows falling all around me
Still I don't regret a single day

I look in the mirror now
I see that time can be unkind
But I know every wrinkle
And I earned every line
So, wear it like a royal crown
When you get old and gray
It's the cost of living
And everyone pays
It's the cost of living
And everyone pays
