I might write a song You might sing along It might be a nice distraction If you if you like the tune Don’t be confused Girl when I start to mention I feel like there’s something happening oh yeah I feel like there’s something happening alright Something between you and I I think that there’s something happening I think that there’s something happening Our black jackets on Our drinks are all gone Walk in a lovely evening With light in the windows Nobody knows That you love people watching I feel like there’s something happening oh yeah I feel like there’s something happening alright Does it ruin things to talk about it? On my roof we just shout it I’m wondering, wondering Do you feel it too? Feel like there’s something happening oh yeah Feel like there’s something happening alright Something between you and I I think that there’s something happening. I think that there’s something happening.

When I met you, I tried to change your mind When I get through, my past comes from behind I want to tell you to get past this divide When I see you I’m gonna change your mind I’m gonna change your mind We’ve been lonely, but you’re spinning me like clay We’ve been parted, but I am closer every day I want to let you know what hides inside I gonna tell you I’m gonna change your mind I’m gonna change you mind Tell me we can last through summer I need a good sweet woman like you Don’t think about last year’s lovers ’Cause they ain’t got nothing on you you

This girl is the words to a song I’ve been humming here forever Til she came along Brings a rhyme to the a verse A chorus line I’ve been stumbling with forever Til she came along Brings a smile to my face I won’t dwell my mistakes Time is spent then is gone A broken bird begins to rise As she can see through this disguise And she knows where I belong In this light, I am hearing things A broken bird begins to sing An ancient song shatters time The melody was always there Pulsing in winter air Resonating through the sky Even as I play it now We are moving to the sound And my heartbeat’s ringing out This girl is the words to a song I’ve been searching for forever Til she came along

Room For 2 02:53
When we first met I got the check ’Cause I was dealing with a night I couldn’t forget Kept thinking about you as I was walking back Call me ecstatic as I fell right into your trap But life is made of the moments when we choose And all of my actions well they led me right to you Backwards and forward and I won’t waste your time Singing this memory I find myself rewinding yeah baby Please wait for me my dear I’ve had some to drink but I am thinking clear As you bring magic to this room How did you know they had room for two? Was walking homeward as you were on my mind Like when you kissed me in still suspended time Made me see colors of a bright electric hue When did you notice that I was into you? Love works like caffeine as my heart keeps speeding up Now I found you, I just can’t get enough Not sure a reason, but I musta done something right As Technicolor emerged from black and white Oh my darling Please wait for me my dear I’ve had some to drink but I am thinking clear As you bring magic to this room How did you know they had room for two? Room for two Room for two Room for two Room for two When we first met, I got the check I never knew my heart could ever be so direct Was thinking ’bout you as I was walking back I went to sleep with your name still on my breath Yeah my darling Please wait for me my dear I’ve had some to drink but I am thinking clear As you bring magic to this room How did you know they had room for two? Room for two Room for two Room for two Room for two

A mother told her son, “Dry your eyes. You’re worth far more than you realize Running yourself thin through endless night Don’t give into them and lose your light I see myself inside of you Remember this is temporary too Many times I have been confused But my child, do not suffer fools Don’t let ’em steal your shine Be mindful of those who just waste your time They tear at your heart And they wear on your mind I hope that you to know when to let them all go Behind your mask, I know your eyes Not every question must you to dignify It’s time to do some things for you To save your heart is a good excuse Don’t let ’em steal your shine Be mindful of those who just waste your time They tear at your heart And they wear on your mind I hope that you to know when to let them all go May you always know what you are worth May you learn to take what you deserve And when you wake, may you discern That you’re lovely Don’t let ’em steal your shine Be mindful of those who just waste your time They tear at your heart And they wear on your mind I hope that you to know when to let them all Don’t let ’em steal your shine Be mindful of those who just waste your time They tear at your heart And they weigh on your mind I want you to know you can let them all go Don’t let ’em steal your shine Don’t let ’em steal your shine Don’t let ’em steal your shine”

I search for peace of mind When it’s all too much to carry Stinging sands of passing time The road has made me weary Midnight coming I don’t sleep Angel woman don’t you weep I just ask for peace of mind When all is helter skelter Unsure of what I find As I search for shelter Blind poet call the tune Open up or scar the wound Oracle of setting suns Ties us down and comes undone As I pray for peace of mind In a world slowly turning I ask for peace of mind But feel so undeserving

The phone rings in a desert side motel. He is calling perhaps to wish her well. He is searching would he find the words? He is wondering has he got the nerve? She says, “If you’ve got something to say to me You better say it now, because I’m getting married in the morning. If you got something to say to me You better spit it out.” ’Cause He was thinking of the last train Thinking of the last train Thinking of the last train out While counting millions Of choices all gone wrong Silver linings squandered, bled and gone Seeking diamonds down in Mexico Though he loved her, should he let her go? When he woke up from a storm of dreams Her name he did cry out Her marriage vow was quickly coming She had wanted to believe in him Although she had her doubts He could catch the last train Run and catch the last train He could catch the last train out Her father heard the voice on the phone Grabbed the extension and said “You must leave her alone You were selfish accept the die is cast Don’t you wreck this. Keep it in the past.” She cries, “When I really needed you That’s when it all fell out And it’s my right not to be lonely So how would it be different? How can I really count? To be waiting for the last train Waiting on the last train Waiting on the last train out?” His resolution had led him to the rails Open questions, could he still prevail? No clear objective, but to let her know Heart beating fire driving him to go It was a touch Shakespearean At the church when she ran out But she knew true love when it came calling The groom went into a rage As the guests began to shout Someone had caught the last train Ran and caught the last train Fought and got the last train out Her love had caught the last train True love had caught the last train He had caught the last train out

Move On 03:04
I waited all summer long Wondering if you’d really gone But I had to move on I had to move on yeah I gave you every chance, but You left me in this circumstance And I had to move on I had to move on yeah Blue insecurities Preying on my fears Swift rhythm summer rain Wash away my tears I longed for your return Wondering if you’d ever learn But I had to move on I had to move on yeah So paint it how you will All I had was this bitter pill And I had to move on I had to move on yeah Go play the victim or Set the record straight Cocktails and therapy All I did was wait I speak so now you know It’s so hard to let you go But what was I to do Keep living a Catch-22? No I, I had to move on I had to move on yeah I had to move on I had to move on yeah I had to move on I had to move on yeah I had to move on I had to move on yeah

Rodeo Clown 03:24
Oooooh tell me where do I begin? Dancing like a rodeo clown An alien in human skin Let me be open I’m gonna let you in Show ya how I’m inside out Held together with a safety pin And I am just taking each day Trying to figure it out I’m a man of many colors I’m a rodeo clown I hear all my mistakes In the thunder clouds So pardon any trouble I’m just thinking out loud I’ve been acting crazy But only you know You’re the rare place Where I let it show All my anxious behavior I’m reading horoscopes Confirming commitment To out of control Behind my makeup I try to go with the flow But I’m a rodeo clown And I’m off with the show

Ice Blue 03:06
Hey pretty girl, come out tonight And dance beneath these disco lights Your tall white boots And I’m off the ground Pardon while I let these feelings out Other songs have been sung to you By nameless boys who never ever had clue A Scorpio can hold his tongue But hear me out While the night is young It might be cliché But it might be alright That you’re the only one I want to see tonight Meet me downstairs Show me those ice blue eyes Things are getting better Things are getting better With a bottle of chilled rosé At an East Village movie matinee What came before can’t be reversed If you let me in, I’ll stay here in your universe In the simple act of you next to me Pressed up close and I’m in ecstasy Might sound naïve, but you best believe When I say I’m in love Hey pretty girl, come out tonight And see yourself In these disco lights
