** Love Behind My Eyelids **

Title Song from the CD of the same name

I see your face behind my eyelids, Behind my own mind's backdoor.

The images of love I see, Helps me make it through it all.

 

You've touched my soul and I love your heart, I share the tears you shed .

I've wiped your eyes and I've held you tight, But only in my head.

 

Your my best friend in the daytime, Your my fantasy at night.

I've prayed that you would stay and share, The love I dream tonight.

 

I long for you alone each night, These words are hard to say.

You've given me these thoughts of love, And then you ran away.

 

It seems your touch was not to be, A part of the design.

So I'll dream of you in the nighttime, But I'll love you all the time.

I'll continue with my love for you, Behind my closed eyelids.

 

And whisper all these thoughts of love, While I'm alone in bed

I'm alone in bed

Behind my closed eyelids.

*************************************

** Little Girl **

You ran away, little girl,

You think I'm not your kind of man, little girl,

You don't know what or who I am, little girl

I'm just a man in love with you.

You don't know what your looking for, little girl

It might be right outside your door, little girl

I'm not the one who broke your heart, in two

I'm just the one who would have married you.

 

Please stay, little girl

I'll place my heart right in your hand, little girl

You'll always know just where I stand, little girl

You'll always know my love is true.

You don't know what your looking for, little girl

It might be right outside your door, little girl

I'm not the one who broke your heart, in two

I'm just the one who would have married you.

Married you, Married you, I even asked.....

** DB Blues**

Where you going, With those High heeled shoes?

Where you going, With those High heeled shoes.

You walking out girl,Don't know what you can lose

 

Love you baby, But not your downtown ways

Love you baby, Not your downtown ways.

Your writing checks girl, Our love just can't pay.

 

Go on baby, Go out and toot your horn.

Go on baby, Go out and toot that horn.

You'll wake in the morning, Find your daddy has gone. 

 

I'm a walkin' Down these old railroad ties,

I'm a walking' Down these old railroad ties.

You played your game girl, Now I'm gonna play mine

You played your game girl, Now, I'm gonna play mine.

** Unicorn **

Note: this song is mostly classical instrumental with this important verse in the middle

On the day that she was born,

An Angel kissed a Unicorn,

And brought love, to this lady.

They took her hand and counted twice,

And said your gonna have to pay this price,

To find the one, who is waiting.

In your life, you've found the one, Who knows,

how to love you.

*************************************

** Sayin' I miss you **

There you go saying I miss you,

I really don't know what to say.

All I need is just a little time,

Don't forget how far we could fall,

Don't count the minutes as they tick away,

But look for the years we have left to go.

 

I've seen the trees falling around us,

I've watched the waves return to the sea.

I find it hard now to express my love,

I've thoughts I can't begin to understand.

I never thought it would turn out this way,

You offered your heart, I took it and ran.

 

We built a world surrounding each other,

We built a life out of hope, dreams, and love.

Then the real world broke our little shell,

We grew apart in different ways.

I took advantage of your undying love,

Now a child has to live this way.

There you go saying I miss you

There you go thinking I miss you

I’m A Fool

Click on the title to listen to this song

I took some time to think about you,

I’ve thought about the things you said

You seem so clear about your feelings,

Makes me wish that I had said.

 

I’m A fool for your laughter,

I’m a fool for your smile,

I’m A fool for your lovin

Please let me stay a little while.

 

You know you said you’d be faithful,

That you’d be honest and true.

Come to find that you were’nt lying

When you whispered “I Love You”

 

I’m A fool for your laughter,

I’m a fool for your smile,

I’m A fool for your lovin

Please let me stay a little while.

 

You know you said you’d be faithful,

That you’d be honest and true.

Come to find that you were’nt lying

When you whispered “I Love You”

 

I’m A fool for your laughter,

I’m a fool for your smile,

I’m A fool for your lovin

Please let me stay a little while.

I’m gonna stay a long long while.

** The Man Who Couldn't Stay**

Click to see the YouTube Video

When he was only 10 years old, He was just like me and you,

He played with cars and G.I. Joe, And carried them to school.

His life was filled with happiness, He didn't have a clue,

That that stranger who befriended him, Would turn his life into,

A DEMON BORN.

 

He took that ugly demon, He hid it in his mind,

And put it in a place, That not even he could find.

He was so young, He didn't even know,

That demons feed on shadows And are destined there to grow.

A DEMON BORN

Here stands a man, Who's had too many wives.

He's had too many jobs, He lost all respect for life.

His eyes will invite you in, And then he'll run away.

He became the man who couldn't stay.

 

As the years they rolled along, He turned into a man,

He'd find some bits of happiness, And hold it in his hand.

He'd take those bits of happiness, And put them in his mind.

But the demon he would spit it out, And say it's not for your kind.

A DEMON BORN.

Here stands a man, Who's had too many wives.

He's had too many jobs, He lost all respect for life.

His eyes will invite you in, And then he'll run away.

He became the man who couldn't stay.

Now he is a full grown man, He's found a way to live.

He's taken the demon from the dark And shined this light on it.

The ending of this story, I do not know for sure.

But demons can't survive the light And time's the only cure.

FOR DEMONS BORN.

Here stands a man, Who's had too many wives.

He's had too many jobs, He lost all respect for life.

His eyes will invite you in, And then he'll run away.

He became the man who couldn't stay.

I became that man who couldn't stay.

** Doin' The Lover's Rag **

Click the title to listen to this song

  See those people walking down the street,

Holdin' hands so lovingly.

They got a feeling that can't be beat

They’re doin' the lover's rag.  

Gonna tell you in the now and then,

I'm gonna love you till them fish don't swim

You gave me something, you can't pack in a bag,

We're doin the lover's rag  

When we first met it was 'Lectricity

You stole my heartache, and set me free !  

Some magic happened when you stole my heart

You gave me yours, and healed my scars

Now we're dancing to that special beat

We're doing the lovers Rag......
