THE CIRCLE OF NO REGRETS Key C

If my heart be broken let it be by beauty
If my tears be spoken let it be by music
If my silence must be ending let it be by laughing
If my love must say good-bye let it be in dying

If my pockets empty let it be by giving
If my back be breaking let it…read more

How many miles must Guillermo walk?
Before all my good intentions are more that just talk…
How many shoes must his toe wear thru?
How many miles must Guillermo walk?

No chance to pull over so I drive past
His hands are twisted. His gait, a…read more

She has left her son for the great beyond
At the end of the day I must carry on

Life be different with me father gone
When the sun goes down I feel so alone
With me children abed it be time for a song

Thirty one years in this city. Thirty one years on this street
Fighting in the morning. Fighting at night.
This place has the smell of defeat.
But, when we get to Colorado. When we get to Colorado…

But Bob can’t thrive on dust and sneeze
Maybe a…read more

The South has had an effect on my texture of writing. When North meets South in styles who knows what can happen? Probably this.

An instrumental I wrote for friend’s wife who passed into the next dimension. Sweet lady with whom I made friends with as a couple. I felt inspired to write a song for his wife after she passed. He gave me her tenor guitar. I was honored beyond words so I used it in the song and dedicated it…read more

The song tells of growing older while living in the suburban bliss of comfort and one day being alarmed at how much time has gone by yet we still have our dreams and childhood heart and the contrast it makes.

This was a good challenge for me. I had bits and pieces of songs half done and I needed to finish this project to round it out.

Electric reflections

I gotta leave this town
And let them now I’m alive…read more

The circling of life
The ability to find your way
Like a compass in the night
And the coming of another day

It’s like when the stars align
You’ve been given just a glimpse of truth
And you think that you might find
The Optimism held in youth

Living where the stars align
Following…read more

Dick Dale’s gonna die on stage
He’s gonna die in the middle of a song.
Dick Dale sings Johnnie Cash
He wales on his saxophone
Dick Dale’s doctor warns Dick Dale,

Dick Dale played surf music
at his doctor’s funeral.

THE BURDEN OF SANITY

As I turned on to Calhoun I could hear the music from the street
A dog piss on a speaker as I found myself a seat
Now, Buster is a caveman all hunched over his bones
Hair matted like a buffalo, like he’d never owned a comb

The years can kill your spirit. The years…read more
