All these things I have said
And things I have done
Are nothing compared
To what I've become
So don't let me fall
Single Man
Time and time
I have crawled to you
Never felt right all along
Well it's lonely here
With pictures on my wall
And the bed sheets smell
Like old perfume
Sitting on this chair
With familiar stares
And I'm wondering
About you
So take the time
To come back home
Life is better
When you're not alone
Please don't tell me, that you can't
I know the world's a busy place
For a single man
Waste Of Time
I'll never understand it
Feels I've been gone so long
And you,
Always misconstrue it
Flipping all my words around
You,
Always know
What's on my mind
And you,
Make me feel
Like a waste of time
I always disappoint you
You even said it yourself
And I,
Always hang around you
Begging like a dog in heat
But you,
Always know
What's on my mind
And you,
Make me feel
Like a waste of time
Time grabs me by the arm
Now I feel
I don’t belong with you
Chair In The Sand
I left my old lady
And joined in the Navy
So I could have someplace to go
California's not able
And Boston's not stable for most
Well a couple of drunk nights
And many a bar fight
Has left me with no place to go
So I'll pack all my bags
And head to ole Mexico
Put a chair in the sand
A drink in my hand
And forget, what I used to know
So I'll pack all my bags
And head to ole Mexico
Now Betty's a barfly
McGregor’s a nice guy
But they don't get along, this I know
So I'll pack all my bags
And head to ole Mexico
Put a chair in the sand
A drink in my hand
And forget, what I used to know
Come Back Home
Came,
To your house yesterday
But you were away
A letter said you're gone
The gate outside was padlocked
Right then, my heart had stopped
How could I press on
I can't find words to say
But I'll still write you
One love letter a day
Please come back home
Soldier From Here
I woke up this morning
Had tears in my eyes
Packed up my bags
And said my goodbyes
The ride to the airport
Is one thing I know
And my uniform
Takes me so far from home
I'll fly away
Into the sky
Say a prayer
But don't you cry
I'll keep you safe
Even though, you're not near
It's my job
To be a soldier from here
Drive Me Wild
There is something
In the way you look
Something,
In the way you smile
Something,
In the way you talk
That can drive me wild
There are somethings
I could never say
When my life
Has gone astray
But at the end
Of everyday
You can drive me wild
The Game
I am stuck
In this game again
Waiting,
For someone to call
It makes no difference
After all
So here I go again
I have thrown it all away
And I'll build that wall again
Put the bricks up, piece by piece
On my own
So you can't get back home
And I will fall
Or maybe I'll fail
It's no matter anyhow
Time won't allow us
To get back on our feet again
There is no difference in the end
By The Phone
I sat and waited
Alone by the phone
Waited for your call
Seems no one is home
I thought about dialing
But hung up the phone
It's sad,
When this house
Doesn't feel like a home
So please call me
I can't stand being alone
So please call me
I can't make it, on my own
And I miss you so bad
The Goodbye Note
I want to feel like I belong
When it's hard
To find my place in life
I want to wake up
With a smile on my face
And tell the world
How right I am
I tell myself
It's not you
It's them
But I'm the one
Hurt in the end
Still haven't figured out
Why things won't go my way
I could just use, an easy day
So tell them when I'm gone
Hey, I tried my best
I have given it my all
It's just as well
I take the fall
It won't matter after all
Too Far Away
All these times
I could of lied
But Something told me
Step aside
I saw your face
Through my glass
You're not here
And I am not there
By your side
I sit here lost
For all the times, I have tried
I told myself
It's been far too long
I want more
More than I can afford myself
I want you here
Holding my hand
I'm not there
You're too far away
So I'll write this down
To tell you I'm afraid
And you're too far away
Heidi
Let me take you
Out for a drink tonight
I won't do you wrong
Let me,
Pick you up at eight
And we can have a drink
Then I can tell you
How beautiful you are
And watch your eyes
Twinkle bright
Then I'll tell you
As your hair, blows through the wind
Come with me
Come with me tonight
You're so beautiful
I have said it before
I'll tell you once more
I won't do you wrong
I can be your man
I Love You
All the things
We went through
Hand in hand
It was painless
All the hardships
That have come and passed
You were there for it
I'd like to thank you
For all the things, you have said
And I'd love,
To hold
you now
To feel you close
Your breath,
Exchanged with mine
In due time
In due time
Round And Round
Is it okay
If I speak to you today
I have tried to get through
But no one's home
If it's alright
Could I just stay the night
So I can show you
You're not alone
Up and down
Round and round
You have me spun
Right to the ground
And I'm out of control
In and out
Side to side
These things for you
I just can't hide
You make me,
Go round and round
Losing You
I'll back down again
And say
We can't be friends
I feel,
I am overwhelmed
And I'm losing you tonight
Though my thoughts
Can’t be heard
You ignored
My every word
And I'm losing you tonight
I feel the tension
In the air
I'm losing you tonight
What If
What if,
I came home
With perfume on my neck
Would you still love me
What if,
I said things
You didn't want to hear
Would you stick beside me
What if,
I came home
With booze upon my breath
Smelling like an ashtray
Would you want to kiss me
Or, would you be real angry
You're all I ever want
And all I'll ever need
But,
What if
Again
Look at me
I am sitting on this park bench
Looking at the trees
They are colorful and beautiful
Like you are to me
When they change colors leaf by leaf
It makes me want to feel you close
I don't think you'll ever know
What you meant to me
So when, will I see you again
Through My Blinds
Through my blinds
I find all kinds of things
To call mine,
With every breath I take
Reminds me of the wind
Blowing through the trees
For every tear I cry,
Reminds me of
A summer storm
Rolling on by
So I sigh,
As the time goes by
Through my blinds
Coming Home To You
Taking,
The last train from Boston
Watching the sun
As it starts to set
What have I done
I can't put my finger on it
Broken pieces
Hurt too much to mend
What have I done
But you're always saying please
Never give up
Do what you believe
So now,
I'm coming home to you
Took,
The first cab to your door
With a dozen roses in my hand
What have I done
I can't put my finger on it
Broken pieces
Hurt too much to mend
What have I done
But you're always saying please
Never give up
Do what you believe
So now,
I'm coming home to you
Carry On
As I sit
Down by the bay
I wondered why
I left this place
You're so wonderful to be with
So I'll be back someday
Carry on, carry on
And the waves
They crash all night
With the moonlight shining
Then the sun will rise again
You're in my heart, until the end
Tell me now
What am I to say
When all these words
They fade away
Carry on, carry on
Let Me Be
Let me be who I'm going to be
Let me feel the way I feel
Let me think the way I think
And things are okay
Let me soar high in the sky
Let me spread my wings and fly
Take a chance to tell you why
And things are okay
But you did this to me
Held your breath, and waited
You took too long, and now I'm
Feeling jaded
Let me stare when I want to stare
Let me dream when I want to dream
Let me cry when I want to cry
And things are okay
Let me be who I'm going to be
Let me feel the way I feel
Let me think the way I think
And things are okay
But you did this to me
Held your breath, and waited
Took too long, and now I'm
Feeling jaded
Remember When
Remember,
When we were young
We'd sit around
Have some fun
Remember,
When we turned eighteen
The world so big
With lots to be seen
Then we struck out in the world
Same old story
About a boy meets girl
Then I asked you to meet
Breakfast at Tiffany's
Was real sweet
One day when we grow old
The memories we have
Will be ours to hold
Remember,
When we turned thirty five
Had kids of our own
And made our own lives
Then we struck out in the world
Same old story
About a boy meets girl
Then I'll ask you, again to meet
Catching up is always so sweet
As We Go
If I ever close my eyes
And think of that moment before
It will always come back to me
After all we've been through
Just think,
Of the things we can do
It will always come back to you
So take me far away
Let's write down
Things we would say
Let's run our feet in the sand
And take a trip
To a faraway land
Let's take things as we go
No one else has to know
If I ever wondered why,
I'll just think of that moment before
It will always come back to me
After all we've been through
Just think,
Of the things we can do
It will always come back to you
Take Me With You
The things that I told you
They all just fade away
And somehow I wished
You wanted me to stay
The things that I've said
The things we have done
Will be buried
So don't look back
I'll be thinking, I'll be dreaming
And I smell your perfume
From across the room
Take me with you
Your hair was so gold
As it blew in the wind
And the airplane was cold
From the places it has been
I sit here and hold
My head in my hands
As you sat b
y the window
I just lost my best friend
Take me with you
Tell Me
I wish that you would come
But I know right now
I'm not the only one
I wish that you were here
So I could lay my head
And calm my fears
So tell me that you love me
And tell me that you care
Say you'll never leave me
And you'll always be there
So tell me that you love me
And take away my pain
So I can live this life
With the things
I've done in vain
There For Me
Sometimes,
When it gets too hard to breathe
You were there for me
When I couldn't
Hardly see it through
You were there for me
Like when,
I walked you to your door
