A Nightmare 03:49
lyrics
buy track
Late in the evening When I last talked to you Angry words were spoken Before the night was through Didn’t know how it started Thought that it might end I don’t want to lose you now You my closest you my closest friend Do I dream Wish I could switch scenes To make-believe A nightmare Please wake me Eyes open or closed It’s reality Will you still talk to me Like you used to do Would you still walk with me Change past to new Could you still hold me In nights of cold Might you still love me As in days of as in days of old Tonight the moon is blue Senses long to touch & hold you Tonight under the starless sky Fear the worst above it we can rise Tonight the breeze is warm Warns me of a sudden storm Tonight under clouds of grey We can retrieve hold for a new day It was dawn in the morning When I called out your name Hoping you would reply There was no use to blame Not sure where it’s headed Know of its past Signing off right now Hoping this can last

Mississippi Love Song 03:04
lyrics
buy track
Steaming past the buoys in Illinois Big wheel churns my spirit toys Weathered portrait in weary hands Await at the far end Cruising by the levy in Tennessee Anchor drops heart’s heavy Tarnished chain around my neck Halfway in this trek Here’s a Mississippi love song From me to you I hope you like it I really do Wish the whole world could feel The peace I do The river that runs down below Its calm and even flow Sifting through the fog in Arkansas Fifty knots my pulse jogs Gunny sack by my side Riding it in stride Docking along the muddy bank In a deep sleep my heart sank Claimed your love had washed away Let the current take my pain Here’s a Mississippi love song From me to you I hope you like it I really do Wish the whole world could feel The peace I do The river that runs down below Its calm and even flow Minneso to Mexico Always on the go

Cross Those Hills 03:03
lyrics
buy track
He sailed from the Highlands South to Vera Cruz Deep in the Brazilian heartland Man of twenty-two Up the coastline North to Montreal Leather bag upon his frame Six foot one inch tall Lived the way I want to Freely without care Rode the western railway Wind rushing though his hair East to West coast to coast Where his best plans were laid Yonder cross those hills Where the spirit wills Where I chase my thrills Yonder cross those He got some land Worked it to the bone Met a true love There they made a home Had a family Three girls and no more Warm welcome awaited By his front porch unlocked door Moved the way I want to With a subtle grace Hand extended Warm smile on his face Life of peace and joy and love Is what true freedom seeks I wonder when we’ll meet again In a garden that you fondly tend Share the laughter & smell the cashmere As you press me tight against my tears Yonder cross those hills Where the spirit wills Where I chase my thrills Yonder cross those hills

The Poor Storyteller 03:13
lyrics
buy track
Met a girl & took a piece of my heart Couldn’t touch hers We were off-balanced from the start Yet I chased Was unable to regain Felt the fear & realized the pain Now she’s gone Gone forever Now she’s gone Just a poor storyteller Page turns on Now or never Right or wrong I’m still a poor storyteller Met a boy & took a piece of her heart Couldn’t touch mine We were off-set from the start Yet he reached & I kept on running away Caught his tears The saddest thing I must say Prologue once upon a time Fairytale storyline Plot twists Chapter Ten Changing a happy end Protagonistic dream come true Antagonistic oh so cruel Half-truths between the lines Fiction comes alive Now I’m gone Gone forever Now I’m gone Just a poor storyteller Chapter One Now or never Right or wrong Still a poor storyteller

Taste The Pain 03:06
lyrics
buy track
Feeling up today Things are finally going my way Then my hope is lost in vain Before my very eyes What does it mean I say When all you got is swept away Beneath a cloud of grey Optimism lies Brave face I will wear Deep in this loss its face I’ll stare But still I quiver sometimes Can you taste the pain That pulses my veins Can you feel the rain That fills my domain Grab hold of the reigns Keep me straight on the lane Can you feel the pain Locomotive freight train Hopes are high tonight That I will feel your beauty and light Yet beyond despite My heart is torn in two Shot down within your sight Wounded on this futile plight Beginning to feel normal and right To be this blue My pride is much too high Beaten down again I’ll rise But still I hurt deep inside I’d like to change this recipe Palpably bittersweet Nice to try a fresh venue Sample from a new menu

Anyways 04:10
lyrics
buy track
Saw you walkin’ back the other day And as I lay back in the tall cool grass I was thinking I was thinkin’ about you As clouds rolled on ahead With these thoughts going in my head Anyways & I just had to say You looked so wonderful to me I gotta try to believe Anyways Cool day in September Hint of rain mixed in the air Time to move along from here Kneelin’ long the worn chalk line We weren’t winning Sittin’ on the green hillside You were grinnin’ Yeah now something that you create Just by being Took me far from there Oh I think of you Each and every time Do you know I’m here And how I feel for you Be as it may I’ll keep shufflin’ ‘long anyways

Weed & Whisky Women 04:09
lyrics
buy track
Cigarette & liquor-stained abodes Has for far too long been my home Blonds brunettes & ravens & red-heads Sweet companions of the living dead In the gutter lane for oh so long Singing the same sad sorry song Must admit at times it was fun Living on the lam & life on the run ‘Cause I’m giving up on weed and whiskey women They give me nothing but the blues I try to kick this losing streak I’m winning Then I say hey man oh what’s the use Nancy Ruth Sweet Jane and Tess Dare recall their names hazard to guess That’s fine I don’t think they knew mine Blinded by the stars and moonshine If I seem a tad tattered torn and frayed Feel free to stare I don’t mind OK Style’s taken years to develop Done it all myself with little help Roll it and have a sip Kick back and take a nip Light it & on the rocks Lay low knock off your socks Whisky and weedy lass Stroke me kick my ass Liquor tobacco girl Light up my tiny world

Vancity Blues 04:16

The rain it pours Well damn near each and every day From mid-October To the month of May Lord how I long For you to come my way Granville Street Commercial Drive East Hastings I wish you’d arrive & until then I’ve got those Vancity Blues If I don’t see you I just might blow a fuse The traffic’s bad The bus is full again How I’d like You to be my only friend The feeling’s true I can’t pretend
