spring is coming soon

 

daffodils growing/ winter sky is not snowing/ spring is coming soon/ I feel it coming/ the cold, it is not numbing/ I'm outside my room/ and I can feel/ April warmness in the fields/ waiting for the moon/ the sky is blue and/ looking at you, and/ spring is coming soon

reaching out


I am reaching out for you/ will you take my hand/ will you help me through this life/ will you help me understand/ I hear the thunder/ I fear the storm/ building up inside of me/ all you strangers/ be forewarned/ the future is not ours to see/ which is why I'm needing you/ needing you to reach out for me

gentle warrior (rewrite one) (for Anne Feeney)

 

 gentle warrior/ your work is all done/ you gave us your finest/ you fought for the good/ gentle warrior/ your worries are over/ with your words and your music/ you did all that you could/ you have given us more/ than we can ever repay/ your life may have ended/ but you haven't gone away

gentle warrior/ I remember your spirit/ you eased us with humor/ in all that you do/ gentle warrior/ you stood for the beliefs/ you felt in your soul/ with the power inside you/ you gave me your friendship/ you paved the way/ for the long road/ we are walking today

(chorus) gentle warrior/ gentle warrior/ you are with us every day/ gentle warrior/ gentle warrior/ may light guide you on your way

gentle warrior/ you taught us so much/ you were such a blessing/ in a world so rough/ gentle warrior/ I know what you'd be thinking/ all you can do/ is never enough/ I will keep your example/ down deep in my heart/ no idea of death/ can keep us apart

(chorus) gentle warrior/ gentle warrior/ you are with me every day/ gentle warrior/ gentle warrior/ you will never go away

nobody's whisper

 

everybody's talking about you/ you're the girl we've been looking for/ we've looked all over the world/ now we don't have to look no more/ your names on our lips/ you're all that we feel/ as far as we're concerned/ you're the real deal/ you're gonna show them and how/ you're nobody's whisper now

nothing works

 

nothing works/ everything I try/ is always denied/ nothing works/ no matter what I do/ nothing ever is true/ I work and struggle and beg and plead/ but life won't satisfy my needs/ my forward motion falls in reverse/ nothing ever works

nothing helps/ it doesn't matter why/ all alone I cry/ nothing helps/ all my trials are for nothing/ I swear, there must be something/ I do all that a man can do/ but there's nothing here to see me through/ I need some help for myself/ I need a little help

I know everything (rewrite 1)


I know everything about heartache/ and I don't need to/ know anything more/ I know everything about how a heart break/ and I'm afraid about/ what's in store/ I been lonely all my life/ and it's no good for me/ I lie awake most every night/ but nothing I can see/ can show me enough/ I want to know everything about love

I know everything/ about loneliness/ I know that it/ can make you shout/ it can tear you apart/ it can make you cry/ it can turn you inside out/ I've been lonely all my life/ like the northern star above/ I want to know everything/ about love

I know everything about sadness/ and I don't need/ to know anything else/ I don't know how to be caring// it's a problem I have/ about myself/ I've been lonely all my life/ and now it's push come to shove/ I want to know everything about love
