Messin' With My Heaven
(2010)
You call, I’ll be there,
Doesn’t matter when or where
I call
You don’t care
I’ll be lucky if you get out of your comfy chair
There’s nothin’ much I wouldn’t do for you
There’s nothin’ much I wouldn’t do for you
There’s nothin’ much I wouldn’t do for you –
‘Cause that’s just the way I am.
I can, remember when,
I had a lot of friends to do me favours
So I can see where you’re coming from
You’re just trying different flavours,
But now you’re
Messin’ With My Heaven baby
Messin’ With My Heaven
You’re Messin’ With My Heaven darling
You know just what I’m gonna say –
So hang your head low boy –
You’ve got to hang your head low boy,
You’ve got to hang your head low boy –
Everybody’s gotta change,
Nothing ever stays the same
Everybody’s gotta change,
Nothing ever stays the same
Ok, you can come back now
You’ve had a chance to think it over
You think there ain’t nothing out there
That get’ll too hard for you to shoulder,
But you –
Never get the message (do ya?)
Never get the message
You never get the message (do ya?)
It doesn’t have to be this way –
So hang your head low boy –
Everybody’s gotta change,
Nothing ever stays the same

Do Not Get Your Lady
(2015)
I do not get your lady
you know I can’t compete
Everything about her is
always on repeat
I do not get the attraction
no it’s not for me
There’s a certain satisfaction
Endless deity
Endless deity.
Running without falling
dancing in the dark
Really quite appalling
wasted in the park
Asking all those questions
Eyes are to one side
It really makes no difference
Never will confide
Never will confide.
Every time you disappear
I think I’ve had it up to here
You’re just clocking one more round
I’ll be sitting this one out..
I’ll be sitting this one out
sitting this one out
sitting this one out
Every time you disappear
I think I’ve had it up to here
You’re just clocking one more round
And I’ll be sitting this one out
Sitting this one out
I do not get your crazy
late catastrophe
that say that you’re just lazy,
it’s all the same to me
Do not get your lady
We’ll never be good friends
Hearing the same story
time and time again
- time again.

Still A Child
(1982)
Still a child when it comes to you
Still can cry when it comes to you
When will I get over
this silly feeling I hold on to
I know you’ll never come back
But me I don’t believe it’s true.
So now you’ve got the power -
you know how to hurt me
It’s been around town - they say you’ve found somebody perfect
You like to share your dreams with
And me I don’t believe it’s true.
I was supposed to be the one after so many years
you’d choose.
Out of this world - somebody could describe you
But they could just never come close
to the way I feel on this night
staring out the window watching taxi’s go by
I can count them all you see.
Still a child
Still can cry
When will I get over
This silly feeling I hold on to
I know you’ll never come back
But me I don’t believe it’s true.

The Difference
(1991)
A simple thought left unattended
dawned on me like quiet thunder
Topples down like unkept garbage
catastrophe is in the margin
But like a child without amusement
I dare myself to finally fuse it
I never thought
I never thought
I never thought I’d miss it
But now I know
Now I know
Now I know the difference
between you and I
Looking back on last nights dinner
your conservation was such a winner
staring out on empty faces
I dream of you in exotic places
So raise your glass to the token winner
And leave behind the rightful sinner
A simple word - I should have said it
On second thought - I might regret it
So drink a toast to indecision
It has to be without remission.
I never thought I’d miss it
But now I know the difference
between you and I

Pause
(2011)
I woke up this morning, with the daylight
I was so grateful for it.
And it filled up my room, just like a yellow balloon,
I felt the darkness lift.
Now, I believe, I have seen, the darkest part of the day.
I went out, and I walked around
Things seem so much clearer to me now.
I’ve been young before, now I’m old again
I make the same mistakes over and over again.
So let me pause, and Thank you
For giving me back to myself.
And your way, it’s such a hard way for me.
Sometimes I wish I could reach out with a greater understanding,
And give it all back to you.
And I don’t believe, you have ever seen, the darkest part of my day.
And if the road turns hard, and the sky turns dark
Well you know where to find me.
And I never did tell you that the kindest thing you gave me,
Was release.
So let me pause, and Thank you
For giving me back to myself.

Nothing To Cry About
(2011)
Leave me now, you don’t have to cry about it
Just let yourself out, no need to lie about it
It’s not like I mean that much to you, ‘cause you don’t mean that much to me
Oh leave me now
Don’t wanna discuss it, there’s nothing to talk about.
Why make such a fuss, I’d rather just laugh about it.
I don’t wanna think about, all the things I’m supposed to think about –
Oh leave me now
And if you see me walking, you don’t have to act afraid,
Don’t tell me you think about me, cause I’ll never think about you –
And when you see me coming, don’t turn your head away
And don’t tell me that you still need me, cause I’ll never say that to you –
Why make it so hard? It’s not like we’d last forever.
Why don’t you just move on? Then we could be friends, whatever
Why don’t you find someone new, and I could find somebody too –
Oh, leave me now.
And if you see me walking, you don’t have to act afraid,
I don’t wanna talk about it, I’ve said all I’ve had to say –
And don’t try to make me love you, I’ll never let you love me.
Nothing to cry about
Why did you cry for me?
I’ll never cry for you

Katie
(1992)
Katie and I put our hands to the sky
we’re flying like birds through the window
Katie and I are like stars in the sky
We’re flying to Moscow tonight
Katie looks down with the eyes of a clown
“Margaret”, she says, “I am Dying”
and Katie has eyes just like almonds and pies
I know she will make it tonight
Katie and I are like spies in the winter
We’re chasing some dashing illustrious crime
And Katie and I do not care where it leads us
Oh, Katie, I never left you this time.
Now it’s all part of a dot on your heart
Katie my mind cannot leave you
And though we’ve grown far it’s all par for the course
Katie, you’re dancing tonight.

Closer To My Soul (An Ancient Song)
(2010)
If I weren’t so bold
I’d wait for you to come to me.
Oh I need your heart to hold,
I long to feel your breath on me.
I lie awake at night, but the moon won’t answer me
Oh this longing in my heart
It never wanders far from me.
I see you in the street
Your happiness awakens me
The dancing of your smile
It calms my heart, it comforts me.
I see it in your face, I’m the furtherest from your mind
So I turn to go
My heart just cries alone.
I know to you – I am only passing time
But I don’t think I’ll ever know
Someone closer to my soul.
Oh God this pain I feel
Brings me crashing to my knees
This empty fruit I taste
Just reminds me of the waste
I know I must be mad, to hold this anguish in my heart
Oh these things that I’ve never spoke
Are the thoughts you’ll never know.
One night I’ll steal away
Across the seas I’d rather stay.
Where distant faces pass me by,
And distant voices never cry.
I lie awake at night,
But this moon won’t answer me
Oh I don’t think I’ll ever know,
Someone closer to my soul
No I don’t think I’ll ever know
Someone closer to my soul.

Beautiful
(1992)
Fool that I am
I touched your hand
And you pull it back
and I’m ashamed
You stand so powerful
A young man king of all he sees,
and who am I to shed such disgrace on you -
I worship you
The way you stand, the words you choose
I am hopelessly drawn to the strength that’s in
your arms
I tip my hat to you
The most beautiful thing
I ever saw.
Time tells his tale
of those who fail
My second chance,
My worthless glance
But you turned your back on me
Your insolence it leaves me cold
And who am I to beg power from the bold
The most beautiful thing
I ever saw.
