Well it's been three days since I've come up with a completely fresh song out of thin air. Unfortunately today is not the exception. Here is another old previously unfinished song. I understand it's not like anyone knows these are previously unfinished songs but I still feel bad about it. I'm hoping tomorrow I can switch this pattern up and give you a fresh new song. Although, all these songs should be fresh to everyone! ha ha

Black Moon

You think you’re fixin to die

I say I

I say I want to know why

You’re on the last train to Chicago

You want to know

What’s god gonna do with your soul

You never made it to the moon

I’ll probably never make it too

It’s all right

After a lifetime of barely getting by

You said it gave you a rocky spine

It’s all right

In the red morning light

In the red morning light

Tears fill my eyes

In the red morning light

In the red morning light

I think you forgot to say goodbye

You think you’re fixin to die

I say I

I say I want to know why

You’re on the last train to Chicago

You want to know

What’s god gonna do with your soul

In the red morning light

In the red morning light

Tears fill my eyes

In the red morning light

In the red morning light

I think you forgot to say goodbye

You’re last words keep ringing in my head I’m afraid

“There’s gonna be a black moon

A black moon is coming soon, I’m afraid.”

Here is another song I couldn't seem to finish. After trying again today I could! Hope you enjoy it.

Fleeting Feeling

How many times will you

I ask how many times

Will you just let it go?

You say I don’t know

What will it take to write

I ask what will it take to right

all my wrongs?

You say I don’t care anymore

Why will you always be

I ask why will you always

Believe in me?

You say our love is that strong

Jaunting down the road

Pacing around

Retracing my thoughts

To the last place

I found it now

I trying to write

Right my wrongs

Put it down

Hell just write any song

How can you say that

I ask how can you say that

it all works out?

I just can’t believe you now

What will you leave me

I ask what will you leave me

With when you’re gone?

You say you can put in a song

Why will you always be

Why will you always

Be leaving me?

You say I’ve held on far too long

Jaunting down the road

Pacing around

Losing my thoughts

Hell it’s all lost and never found

Trying to write

Right my wrongs

Put it down

Hell just have you around

I think

If there’s a fleeting

Feeling you keep having

Then come back to me

Song 72

Listen Here

This is an old song that I never finished. I revisited it today and came up with the rest of it. I hope you enjoy.


One Of Us
One of us is standing the other one is down
One of us is losing the other don't make a sound

Tell me how we going to make it on our own
we should not got alone
Who will cast the first stone?
How we gonna make it on our own

One of us losing the other don't play the game
one of us sings glory, one asks who will be saved?

Tell me how we going to get anything straight
when we all have plans to make
and fingers to point blame
How we going to get anything straight

One of us laughing the other filled with tears
one of us i brave the other fool has got fear

Tell me how am I going to make it back to my car
Scream impossible to countless stars
scream drunk to closed bar
Tell me how am I going to make it back to my car.

Stranger Next Time

Catch the moon

Catch the moon shine across

The water

Charetee charatee

She sure

Is pretty isn’t she

You lost a lot of love

You lost a lot of love this way

You lost a lot

You lost a lot of love you’d say

How’d it turn out this way

If he could just write a song

Capture a good time in a few lines

I think we’d know what went wrong

But he didn’t have the time

Jezebel there ain’t much to your bite

You’ve got blood in your grin

There is a whimper in your bark

Lawrence there ain’t

Much to your promise

There is no blood left in your heart

Eleanor there ain’t much left in your head

You’ve got the end on your mind

There’s a strange

I’ll be a stranger next time

A Reason
If there ever was a reason to hold on tight
I lay with that reason beside me every night
I love the love I feel
I needed it from you then I feel it for you still

Feeble and Grievous

There are some spots in my memory probably best forgotten

Always at the worst times the tend to sneak in

A callous faithless wolf in the mattress

There’s a page in a magazine I remember gawking at

Figured out what was me I hate that

A spineless heinous excuse for an actress

NO faith in anything, come on don’t ask of me

There’s always good reason to not believe

Pious pompous gifts from the righteous

I drew a line, got crossed in time

I was the first one to know the first one to go

I feel well and fine, you know that’s a lie

When I’m the first one to know the first one to go

It was a dream on the radio probably best that I don’t speak

Of what happened in that car on I 70

The darkness grows anxious a bit more than a bad fish

There’s a pain that I get a sort of burning in my chest

It’s hard to stay in one place when I’m so restless

A venomous soulless snake in the grass

With the balling of my fist, I’ll swing and not miss

With the blackening of your eye you will get pissed

The fracas that made us feeble and grievous

Down For The Count

The western wind starts blowing in

I’m saying hello to old Chicago

My mind is bent, my thoughts are spent

On turning this wheel toward tomorrow

It’s one long day after another long day

It’s hard to live with all this sorrow

You could spend some more time wasting your days

Or you could spend your time loving me babe

I know I know I know that it’s right

You could love but now it seems trite

In the white dome of winter

We expect many visitors

I’ve gotten so bad at visiting

Send dear to my father and brother

Let mother know I love her

Signed, your son sincerely

You could spend some more time wasting your days

Or you could spend your time loving me babe

I know I know I know that it’s right

You could love but now it seems trite

Thought I could borrow some joy from the snow fall

But quickly the bottle swallowed it all

I’m down for the count

Count me down and out

You could spend some more time wasting your days

Or you could spend your time loving me babe

I know I know I know that it’s right

You could love but now it seems trite

No Good Banjo Blues

Oh my baby don’t treat me good

I give my baby all the love I could

Still she’s out running around

I’m left alone inside of my head

I thought it was love I had found

But she’s in someone else’s bed

Oh my baby don’t treat me sweet

I give my baby all the love she need

When she’s out on the town

I’m left alone wondering where she be

I thought it was love I had found

I’m missing her she ain’t missing me

Oh my baby don’t treat me right

I love my baby every day and night

When I am feeling low down

I’m left alone with nobody there

I thought it was love I had found

But my babies got no love to spare

Oh All My Days 

Oh all

Oh all my days

I can’t get no rest

I lost my pay

If it’s the blues I’m singing

I chose the wrong key

It’s all the love that was lost on me

It’s all the love that we thought we need

The reason why

The reason why I stand in line

Is I don’t mind waitin

And something great something fine

Will come in time

It’s the first and the last you know

It’s a garden overgrown

Oh all

All of my days

Writing insignificant songs

That I keep trying to play

It’s the words the phrasing of it all

It’s the drunks disappointing last call

Time after time I do wrong

It’s for the love for the sake of the song

Songs Of Lament

I remember the first time I awoke to bird

Outside my window singing a lonely verse

I was alone I was afraid

I was running late for work so I called in that day

I was in a place a very dark place

I wouldn’t have to explain if you saw my face those days

He sang I know I know this world is cold but you got to let it go

I hope you know songs of lament were meant for the dead

I remember the first time I broke a heart

It wasn’t mine thankfully but it still was hard

She was evil and crazed and had a funny way

Of making men fall and throwing them away

She always wore black she was my dark place

I wouldn’t have to explain if you knew me those days

He sang I know I know this world is cold but you got to let it go

I hope you know songs of lament were meant for the dead

Song 62

Here the song!

The Mountains Then Me

I knew we would get older only grow with time

In the creek we would play as kids watch life go by

As these moments pass we try to learn to love

Try to find one to share with this life we were given

I find it difficult growing up learning to mistrust

To ever put my faith in to ever truly love someone

She came in on a train from somewhere out Midwest

With pretty blue eyes and a funny accent

She fell in love with the mountains then with me

I had to many problems I’d surely screw up things

Without learning how to swim I blindly jumped in with you

Now I’m doing the backstroke and things I couldn’t use to

I’m darn well sure we were drunk when we first kissed

I am thankful every day we shared that moment

Now I’m grown up finally learned how to trust

I look forward to the day I can hold our little one

Prodigal Man

Who could have hoped for anything more?
Going to catch a train and leave this state

You going to draw that gun you better draw it fast

But you’re outmatched simply outclassed

I took a shot look what I got

It’s mine all mine

I took a life by my surprise

It felt just fine

She could have hoped for something more

Except it died that night in the spiral slide hiding from the wind

Who could blame her holding on so tight to want to feel it again?

Consume her now consume her then a twisted obsession

She took a shot look what she got

Oh me oh my

She took a life to her surprise

It felt just fine

Get us out of here as fast as you can

Keep your head down the bullets will soon be flying by

I am not safe I’m a prodigal man

If I get locked up I promise to write

Early Morning

Early morning eyes looking out the window

Staring at the people barely getting by

I try to think deep

But today my thoughts are cheap

And my mind has frozen overnight

This is only a song

These are just my thoughts

Early morning mind trying to write a song

I barely left my dreams behind

This is a two cent line

This is a two cent rhyme

I saved the good ones for another time

This is only a song

These are just my thoughts

Early morning chimes the wind starts to blow

Did you know it’s been here since the beginning of time?

I try to think deep

But today my thoughts are cheap

And my mind has frozen overnight

This is only a song

These are just my thoughts

Song 59

Listen Here!!!

Catch Hell and Speak Well

Catch hell

Sleep well

Farewell to the dreams the dreamer did sell

Oh well

Was it your voice?

I heard in the darkness the faintest of noises

In my house

You wanted out

I hardly get me

So how could you know me well?

I saw my life in tonights fire

I heard you talking to the bird on that telephone wire

Oh have you lost it?

Oh have you lost your little mind?

I hear you’re pulling all the teeth from your head

It’s got something to do with the government

Oh have you lost it?

Oh have you lost your little mind?

I’m well

If you couldn’t tell

it’s probably because I hide it so well

Farewell

I love you now

I’ll love you even when all your lights go out

I’m leaving now

Wondering how

I hardly get me

So how could you know me well?

Song 58

Listen Here!!

Black and Blue

If you’re leaving I hope you get here soon

If you’re staying well that’s up to you

I hope you’re alright I hope you sleep well tonight

Because darling that’s what I’m gonna do

It’s a lie if I don’t miss you

Honesty will be coming soon

I hope you’re alright I hope you sleep well tonight

Lord knows how I’m trying to

Who knows how you decided to be with him

But here’s what I’m going to do

I’m sure his face would look better painted black and blue

Here’ what I’m going to do

Whiskey and High Times

Down in the valley we struggled to breathe

Beneath the currents of drinks

Whiskey and coke surely made us broke

Drank cough syrup to save us a dime

There were times I thought I’d go out my mind

There are times I think I already have

There were moments when my only friend

Were the moments I would relapse

I took part in a lengthy discussion

About lust, sex, what drugs were the best

And the courage to try each one once

About god, death, fear, strange women

And the courage to try them again

I find the whiskey and high times

Are trying on my mind

So I thought why not?

I find the longer I stay dry

The clearer is my mind

Is that what I want?

Down in the valley we struggled to think

Chocolate mushrooms and sugar cubes

Tequila and lime treated us fine

Drank ice water to keep us alive

There were times I thought I’d lose my head

There are times I think I already did

There were moments when my only friend

Were the moments I’d lose it again

I took part in a lengthy discussion

About lust, sex, what drugs were the best

And the courage not to give in

About god, death, fear, strange women

And the courage to let the best one in

From A Seed

The land would swallow the sun whole

I never thought possible

From a seed a tree would grow

I would think I would think of things

I would breathe and be uneasy

I’d find it and then it would leave me

Get lost in my seeking

I would love I would trust I would tear this place up

In a fit if I lost you again

I’m a better man then I’ve ever been

A Poem


We can sit and wait for this to pass

I prefer to be more vigilant then that

So come on take my hand we can dim

the light with a a flip of a switch

I must admit I feel absent

When I walk into a space filled up with friends

I’ve been dreaming of a place that starts where it ends

I was thinking of you when my heart filled with dread

When worried thoughts filled up my head

And now I can’t seem to shake it all

Was it the size of the fence that made you feel small?

Or the drugs you were on you always find some dark place

Reading Nietzsche in the corned I see it written on your face

You ever need a hand to hold or arms to wrap you tight

I am not the one that is ever going to stand by

Watch it unfold in misery some diary entry

A poem of life and death and what it meant to me

Song 54

Listen Here!

When I Wake Up

Oh you got me tired babe oh you got me spinnin with you

Oh you got me wired babe oh makin mistakes with you

When I wake up go down to the river fill up a bucket and check out the view

When I wake up gonna leave my shoes walk around til I find you

Is there anyway

To call your name

Without sounding crazed

Oh you got me tired babe oh you got me spinnin with you

Oh you got me wired babe makin mistakes with you

When I wake up gonna dig me a well dug too deep now it’s hot as hell, what to do?

When I wake up gonna pour me a cup of whiskey just to warm me up, winter room

Is there anyway

I could get away

Maybe truly change

Oh you got me tired babe oh you got me spinnin with you

Oh you got me wired babe oh makin mistakes with you

When I wake up gonna show you around, piss you off you can leave this town if you choose

When I wake up gonna break my leg, elevator ride on the interstate, leaving you

Is there anyway

I could catch a train

Afford some good cocaine

Without feeling strange

Song 53

Listen Here!

Bright Wide Eyes

Bright wide eyes the color of the sun

Never saw it coming undone

All this time minds were changing with a drop on their tongue

Never saw it coming undone

Catch the earth breathing in

Catch the earth breathing out

You feel the sponge earth beneath your feet

You see the puzzle tree

Follow the river from the top to the bottom of the hill

Breathe in where you are

Follow me down catch the earth stand still

Breathe in where you are

I’m just gonna walk and close my eyes

I’m just gonna walk and not stop

With arms outstretched breathe in the night

I’m just gonna walk and not stop

The World Must Owe You One

The world must owe you one

He said he would wait

He swore he would wait

He just move along

Now you know that wasn’t true

“it wasn’t love it was just a kiss

I never meant to leave you like this”

“You said you would wait guess I made it tough

Was it just a kiss or was it love”

The world flipped upside down again

You fell on your head

Think you won’t get up from it

He gone and slept in someone else’s bed

You wish that wasn’t true

Was that kiss meant for you?

“it wasn’t love it was just a kiss

I never meant to leave you like this”

“You said you would wait guess I made it tough

Was it just a kiss or was it love?”

Always knew it wouldn’t last

It’s been driving you mad

It’s been driving you mad

Always knew it would die

It’s one hell of a lie

It’s one hell of a lie

Song 51

Snow Bird

The sun skipped shining

The cold started setting in

The wind whips we all freeze

The cars kept running

Salt is melting

Through the ice wait for me

The kiss that started this

Was warm and I must admit

That I didn’t expect it to get this cold

But the breeze started blowing

All the weeds are now frozen

The branch that was our love is cracked nearly broken

And I sing for the bones of a saint

And I wait for the cold to thaw
And I sing for the river banks

And I’ve gone and lost it all

Snow bird remember when we used to dance

Snow bird your words were all that I had

Snow bird summer took you from me

Snow bird your words spoke of destiny

A Bit More Divine

I don’t want to waste your time

And I’m sure you don’t want to waste mine

I don’t want to hold you up

I’ve got too much to carry my love

The way you carry yourself is awkward

I keep on giving love getting nothing in return

Go on take it back it’s absurd

I think there’s more then one way to get it done

A heartfelt plea for a soul saving of someone

The lessons we hoped we would learn in time

Are held by something a bit more divine

I don’t want to slip on the ice

Fall crack open my demise

I don’t want to hold this in

I’ve got too much anger hidden

The way I carry my burdens is absurd

Keep on getting love giving nothing in return

I just hope for that I don’t burn

Song 49

this song is no doubt my least favorite song that I have written so far. I wrote it this morning and loved it. Drank all day while my parents were in town and now I can't remember how I was singing it earlier today. This is as close as I could get but now I hate it.

Mixed Reviews

I step outside; see my breath in the air

The way it rights itself started with a prayer

There are those with faith, and those with a lack of

There are those with hate, and those with love

Progress? Success? We’ve just made a mess

Of things again, doesn’t break it bends,

On second thought it spreads, like a wildfire

The situation is dire when you’re stuck in the muck and the mire

My voice is tired like a childrens choir, never given a day off

Gathered in a séance, summon up spirits whose whole existence and purpose is to haunt

Is that what you thought, you would get when you mixed medicine and God?

I step outside I shake and I caw

Beneath the ice can’t seem to shake it off

There are those who take, and those who give away

There are those who pray each and every day

Mercury, Gypsy, Paris (The Cafe Song)


I've got a mercury fever of 100 degrees
3 tattoos a collection of scars on my knees
One on my nose the night when it broke
from the rock i was pulled into
this is an unacceptable gift from a woman like you

What would happen to you
if you made the whole room
worry for you
I was worried for you

Is this a gypsy house that i've stumbled upon?
Books on dreams from the day I was born
the stars they knew all about me
let's head downstairs
and I'll play you these songs for free

Were you thinking of us?
Or spreading your love?
You lovely little lush
you live loving lust
and I've had enough

I could not get the nerve to walk into
that little paris cafe to share my folkway
Instead I quickly walked away
A bit too anxious of what they'd say
Would you take my hand
and lead me cross the street?
While looking both ways
I start speaking calmly
I ask, "do you love me?"
I ask, "do you love me?"

I knew your love was meant to find me that day
and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Again This Year


Bridges burned
lessons learned
I am not concerned
Let the river carry me
Straight to the sea
I have lost many friends
Garnered enemies

I think I lost it again this time
with a fickle heart and a worried mind
You'd expect it to change but it just stays the same
I think I lost it again this year
with worried thoughts and fickle fears
You'd expect it to change but it just stays the same

Time and time again
you've been misled
I'm sorry but it happens
Let the river carry you
far from view

Weary Head


Come lay your weary head down on my shoulder
Come now let's go to bed the show is over
I thank heaven I have you around

Come and take my hand let's walk together
I pray that we're in this one together
I thank heaven that I have you around

Losing It Again

The sun peaks through the window

And I wake up with a fever round my head

With a stain in my bed

I never meant for this to happen

I think I’m losing it again

It doesn’t have to make sense

It doesn’t have to be like this

I know I know I was wrong

I think you know what you deserve

A man like me just better

I know it’s been my fault all along

The sun peaks through the window

I wake up without anybody there

The city doesn’t seem to care

Few too many thoughts impaired

If I am here then you are where?

I can blame myself for what happened

To me now and way back then

I can tell you now

That I am proud

To call you my love call you my friend

Call you my strength a true godsend

I can tell you now

These three words outloud

Like The Stars


Is it a yearn for a sun-bruised field?
You've got a secret you need concealed
Like the stars from the blackest night
You shine so bright gone by first daylight
Like the stars in a moonlit sky
You're gone now but you were there last night.
