FORGIVE AND FORGET
To forgive and forget
we try to go back
for the love we once had
for the life we once led
But the love once sacred
lies broken and buried
covered by sins
forgotten it seems
the feeling of dreams
Awake from this nightmare
return to my arms dear
our love is not dust
I'll pay any cost
without you I'm lost
We forgive and forget
but we can never go back
to the love we once had
to the life we once led
So where do we go -
does anyone know?
When all love has gone
to nothing so fast
I thought it would last
Now I'm drowning inside
'cause my heart can't forgive
and my head can't forget
the love we once had
and the life we once led
WILL YOU REMEMBER ME?
Will you remember me when the days go by
will you remember my name and the reasons why?
Why you loved me for so long
why you could never wait too long
to see my face and hear my voice
to kiss my lips and feel my touch
Will you remember me when the nights get cold
will you remember my song and the words so old?
I love you until the end of times
I love you girl, don't be surprised
when you find out I still wait for you
when you find out I'm still here for you
Will you remember me when the times get rough
will you remember how you used to act so tough?
When I held you down so you could not move
when I held you down and kissed you like I should
to make you shiver and shake so bad
to make you see all the love I had
Will you remember me when he holds you close
will you remember how you used to wear my clothes?
'Cause they felt like I was there with you
even when I wasn't there for you
I loved you girl, I swear to you
and I love you still, I'm here for you
Will you remember me when the warm winds blow
will you remember the day when you said hello?
Remember your reasons, remember my words
through all of the seasons, through all in this world
my heart beats for you until the life in me drops
my heart beats for you until the day that it stops
HEAR ME NOW
You better hear me now
I'm not being mean
you always know what I mean
Why don't you come and lean
on my shoulder
I'll be your boulder
I'll be your rock
because you simply rock
And now my world is shattered
you're acting like I never mattered at all
I'm scattered in the wind
and in the wild a fire burns
as my insanity turns
it turns to dust
I'm left outside to rust
And now I'm not walking proud
but I'm still walking around
I'm gonna find the key
and set my captured spirit free
I'm gonna leave this place
I'll disappear without a trace
I'm gonna find my home
even if I'm all alone
standing in a crowd
talking out loud
where no talking's allowed
I'll make sense of this day
I'll get back on my way
'Cause you came back with no trust
and now I know that I must
find another way
or slowly get away
but no, I cannot stay
and you know what I mean
I'm done being mean
you better hear me now
YOUR LOVE
I can't stand your lying eyes
when you tell me stories of your past times
you turn my heart to ice
when you tell me stories with those dead eyes
I'd give my heart and soul
for you I'd give it all
just to have you back
I can't stand the lack of your love
your love...
I keep waiting here for you
every morning, yes I do
until the day you come back
come back with your love
until the day you bring back
bring back your love
It took me all this time to find you
and as long as you're near
I will have no fear of things to come
with your love I'll overrun
all the dark until the Sun
will rise again with your love
your love...
And all my wrongs
you make them right
and even though we sometimes fight
I still want you every night
by my side is where I need your love
your love...
So I keep waiting here for you
every morning, you know I do
until the day you come back
come back with your love
until the day you bring back
bring back your love
OUT ON THE SEA
If I die before my time
bury me out on the sea
it's where my soul wants to be
roaming free, out on the sea
The summer's breeze, it will be me
to cool you down and help you breathe
And if I die before my time
honey don't you cry too long for me
you may learn to love another
while I roam free, out on the sea
The morning Sun, I'll bring for you
to kiss your lips like I used to
And if I die before my time
don't forget this face of mine
my darling please, remember me
while I roam free, out on the sea
The clear night stars will be from me
to guide you on the path you'll be
And if I die before my time
there is one promise I will keep
I'll meet you on the other side
we can roam free, just you and me
Up in heaven you will see
reunited we shall be
DUSTY ROAD
On this dusty road I've found you
you were just a lonely soul
searching for your way
and trying to get away
from the life not meant to be
so much out there to see
Now I won't tell you where to go
this dusty road I do not know
and I won't follow you around
'cause I'm not your servant hound
I want to be the man who walks beside you
I'm so tired of walking all alone
Will you share this road with me
or are there things you wish to see
other places you want to be
on your own, without me?
Honey tell me now
'cause I won't follow you around
On this dusty road you found me
a lost and lonely soul
trying to make it on my own
so tired of walking all alone
Honey join me for a little while
let's see what happens in a mile
I promise I'll make it worth your while
if you walk with me for just one mile
SWEET LILLY
Every day we play these games that can't be won
and we put pictures in frames so we feel like one
But honey,
time ain't on your side
and it sure as hell ain't on mine
so don't you run and hide
come on over and let's walk the line
Now honey,
we might find joy
or we might find sorrow
but as long as I'm your boy
I don't care about tomorrow
I'll be forever yours if you take me
and I'll be forever lost if you break me
So honey,
won't you come and hold my hand
make me feel like I'm your one and only man
won't you hold it 'til the end
when we look back at how it all began
'Cause honey,
when you lay down next to me
you put my heart and soul at ease
don't let nothing bad get to me
I'm begging you darling, please
You know you have this effect on me
sweet Lilly, I always want you next to me
THE 11:37 TRAIN
Girl, I'm leaving you...
I said girl, I'm leaving you behind
Gonna pack my bags
and head out west
gonna catch that train
that 11:37 train
Girl, I'm leaving this town...
I said girl, I'm leaving this town behind
I told you long ago
I just can't take no more
I'm gonna catch that train
that 11:37 train
Packed up my bags
now I'm headed out west
I'm leaving this place tonight
I'm leaving this place behind
And I've got nowhere to go
but there's one thing that I know
I'm gonna catch that train tonight
I'm gonna leave you all behind
Girl, don't you cry...
I said girl, don't you cry for me
I can hear my train is coming
that 11:37
came to take me into heaven
my 11:37
came to take me into heaven
CAN'T FIND
All the love in my heart you can never measure
but you treat me so bad I can't find no pleasure
Why can't we go back to the way that it was
when trust was more than a simple coin toss
I can't find no love
I can't find no trust
do you still feel for me
and is it more than lust
Can't find love
can't find trust
do you feel for me
more than lust
From these dark thoughts I get no release
and even in my dreams I can't find no peace
Howling wind in the cold, dark night
is the only sound I'll hear tonight
I can't find no love
I can't find no trust
and it hurts to see
my baby lie to me
Can't find love
can't find trust
it hurts to see
when you lie to me
And when the morning light awakens me
why can't I find you sleeping next to me
Another lonely day is passing by
won't you tell me now all the reasons why
I can't find no love
I can't find no trust
so should I go away
or should I stay
Can't find love
can't find trust
go away, oh
I guess I must
TELL ME
I'm a traveling man
but I'm stuck in one place
I don't know if I can
find a familiar face
I'm trying to get on
my way back to you
but I just don't know
what more must I do
You used to tell me that you love me
every night and day
but all those words they just
kind of went away
and now I'm hoping they'll
come back one day
'Cause I need you to love me
love me like you used to
and I need you to hold me
hold me like I'm used to
'Cause now your eyes, they
seem forever distant
feels like your love was
lost in an instant
Come back darling
and save me from this place
Come back darling
I really miss your pretty face
Tell me,
tell me darling...
Tell me you love me
every night and day
say you will hold me
and never go away
Tell me you miss me
whenever I'm away
say you will kiss me
until I'm old and grey
Tell me we'll be fine
as long as we're together
say you'll be mine
in any kind of weather
Tell me,
tell me darling...
LONG WAY TO ROME
I don't go to no church
I don't follow no god
I ain't that good
and I ain't all bad
but every once in a while
I get over my head
I open that bottle
let the devil come in
we talk for a while
and he lets me win
I get back in my car
my home seems to far
»You can make it!« he says
»Don't think nothing less!«
Driving back home
a long way to Rome
get the devil off my back
find some comfort instead
The light so divine
if I crash I won't mind
never cared 'bout myself
won't leave nothing behind
And the lights go away
just a truck on its way
snap back to the world
I'm feeling so cold
Is anyone here?
Oh Lord, can you hear?
I know I ain't good
but I can't be all bad
Guide me back to my home
too tired to roam
please keep me safe
I swear I'll behave
and I'll do my best
won't go down with the rest
DOWN ON ONE KNEE
Look out through your window
in the distance you'll see
no more than one man
down on his knee
Another heart broken
how long will it be?
Right from the start
I gave you my heart
back from the dead
and up to my head
Rest asure I'll be here
I love you my dear
Long gone are the days
of my wandering ways
violins and roses
each time the day closes
Year after year
out in the distance
up on that hill
guarding my lov
e
I wait like a dove
Reach out and come to me
love, I'm down on one knee

AUTHOR'S NOTES
I've published the first two volumes towards the end of a month, so I guess I'll keep doing that for some reason; with the exception of next month - there will instead be a really short story for you to read.
