Im so sick of being tired
Im so tired of being tricked
Into giving up my time
To get a chance to live
A sliver at a time
And all the time im sapped
Like sugar in a tree
I freeze and thaw again
Until I’m flowing free
And I take…

Love I Can’t Explain
Verse 1:
I turned my back on You, yet You never left;
I followed my own will, but You kept me strong.
You died for me, Lord, before I was born—
When death came for me, You stood in my place.
Now I have life in You…

This is a re-do of the piano groove track from July 8. I've added a breakdown and a B part and for the most part, I'm pleased.

I was wondering
About the crops
If we skipped the harvest
In the fall
Let the cornfield
Die and brought
Sell the farm
And cast our lot
Would be be OK
I hope that it won’t be a while
Till I get to see the smile
The Dawn shines on the…

They built a boat
Carried you down to the riverside
Set it alight
Talked of regret, children played nearby
They played nearby
The image of you I can’t shake
Hand raised, parting ways in the rearview
Smoke from the…

Birds sing songs that
Wake the dreamers
From their sorrowful soirée
Cryin', bye bye, sweet fried chicken
And the platter
Glides away
In the moonlight
In the moonlight
We don't hear, but
Water running

You Are Unchangeable
Verse 1:
While trapped in the dark,
I called on Your name;
You came and shone Your light.
The one who held me there
Fled and never turned—then I knew You’re the Light.
You paid the price for my pride,
And for the…

This full moon. Loving respect, kindness, and a great spiritual power came up in one of my readings this morning. I'm grateful for that being present.

Melody was too fresh to have down properly but hey, it's another demo. I think I hate this one. Just idea after idea morphing daily. The ending was more of a joke but I guess it is staying...

The sound of the wheels

Tie the loose ends and leave it behind
You know me, I’m unwinding

I wrote and recorded this song a few months back (on Inauguration / MLK Day). A month or so ago, I re-recorded it to change the key but was not satisfied with the guitar sound, so I re-re-recorded the guitar today (still not satisfied...) and…

My wicked little brother
Is on his way back
He’s squandered his fortune
To spite our old dad
The filthy little wanderer
I can see down the road
Now he’ll get his penance
For the bad life he chose
Oh my brother likes to gamble
But now…

Baby Willow
Somewhere, something
has turned a wing
and left a branch dancing
grey days, grassways
there's a stowaway seed

blue vein in my head

You can roll the dice
You can read the gospel
Or just balance on the knife
Kicking rocks like cigarettes
You both used to like
Now it’s all just plastic
I could use some advice
And you could use me
Anytime you like

There was once a boy
Who got inside my blood
And began to make me sick
I heard he loves a girl
With a big house and sexy looks
And he's goin' to have her kids
It's like he's erasing us
Erasing me
And filling his life with another…

Take your time to find the right one
The sun don't rush to meet the dawn
Every star has its own glow
So let the moment softly flow
No need to race
No need to run
A masterpiece is never spun
In hurried hands or fleeting nights
Patience…

She's got a laugh like summer skies
Eyes that shine like fireflies

Hold her close when the nights are long
Promise me you'll treat her…
