Thinking Out Loud
It's quittin time I've got one thin dime
And a million places to go
Work deadlines weigh heavy on my mind
Winds really startin to blow
Poetry rhymes and traffic signs
I'm listenin to the radio
News headlines said a hundred people died
Bloods really startin flow
(ch)
I'm thinking out loud again
Just thinking out loud again
I'm thinking out loud again
Media machines sell american dreams
As wholesome as apple pie
Beauty queens in magazines
Veiled in thin disguise
Celebrity teens in designer jeans
Tell us how to live our lives
While corporate schemes behind the scenes
Will bleed you until your dry
I Promise
Hush little baby don't you cry
And I will sing this lullaby
DonÕt you worry let me ease your mind
I promise IÕll never leave your side
Hush little baby don't say a word
I'll protect you from this tired world
It's getting late my darling pearl
Rest your head my little girl
(ch)
I promise you we'll find better days
And all this darkness will just fade away
Just go to sleep it will all be okay
I promise you our love will stay
Hush my little girl don't make a sound
There's so much beauty all around
Don't you know I hate to see you frown
We're standing on solid ground
When the time comes and I'm gone
To your own little girl youÕll sing this song
I hope these words will keep you strong
I just stepped away but not for long
Broken
A sycamore tree just you and me
I try to catch my breath
You play with words speak so absurd
Static fills my ears nothings clear
I start to fall like a cannon ball
Ask for reasons why
As you turn away I beg you to stay
The moments lost in time no reason no rhyme
(Chorus)
so broken now
I'm so broken now
So broken now
I wander around this vacant town
Just trying to find my way
I search for truth from upon a roof
My thoughts obstruct the view nothing new
Cause it seems to me dark comedies
Play inside my mind
As the world spins down without a sound
I rest my weary head enough said
(chorus)
Real Love
Velvet sky
Bodies lie intertwined
Soulful eyes
Staring mystified
So sublime
Feel your lips on mine
Taste of wine
Senses working overtime
(ch)
You ease my mind
I know exactly what your dreaming of
Loves not so blind
Real love
Feelin high
On a moonlit drive
Scent of pine
Feeling so alive
You and I
Have been tested by time
Ties that bind
The colors of our lives
(ch)
You ease my mind
I know exactly what your dreaming of
Loves not so blind
Real love

Here I Am
Maybe I'm right maybe I'm wrong
Your words linger like a Dylan song
You know Bobby sang Like A Rolling Stone
How does it feel to be all alone
The man says easy come and easy go
You've been swimmin up stream son don't you know
And every time that cold wind blows
You can feel it right down to your soul
I'm just lookin for some clarity
In a world of insanity
(ch)
I'm just tryin to figure it out
Hey what's it all about
I wanna stomp my feet and shout
Here I am
Everyone states their point of view
Tryin to get you to do the things they want you to
I went for a walk in another mans shoes
I've got no right to sing the blues
Everyone's lookin for a little sympathy
In a world full of misery
I'm just tryin to figure it out
Hey what's it all about
I wanna stomp my feet and shout
Here I am
Every Day's a Saturday
There was a man who lived an ordinary life
Had an ordinary house with an ordinary wife
Went to church every Sunday night
Monday mornin up before the dawn
Tuesday Wednesday keep movin on
Thursdays here and the work weeks gone
Come Friday he'd collect his pay
He retired the first of May
Now every day's a Saturday
He tries his best to occupy the time
Morning t.v and news headlines
You should have seen him in his prime
His grand kids call him pa
Now and again they stop by or call
He hangs their pictures on the wall
The hallway clock ticks away
As the sunshine fades to gray
Every day's a Saturday
Summers green becomes autumns gold
Another year bought and sold time flies
You spend your life tryin to fight the cold
Your gettin old in the wink of an eye
There's still some life left in these hands
Fifty years as a workin man
I've got no particular plans
Just an ordinary day
There's nothin more left to say
Every day's a Saturday
