Home Again

Your letter came yesterday
Your, flying home for christmas
Could you stop to see me smile

I sat down to remember
All the pain we shared
But I drifted to times not so hard

Oh I see you in the corner of
Life’s grand ballroom
And I tremble to feel you again

Let’s all go home again
Find where we have been
Time is never understood
And I see you holding me
Please don’t let me be
Tonight just may be our last

The bell rings to tell me
You’re here now
And I wonder if your eyes glow and sparkle in the night

And I can’t believe you look this way
Like a doll in satin
On a birthday afternoon

Hold me tightly
Like never before
You’ve come to say you’re alive

Let’s all go home again
Find where we have been
Time is never understood
And I see you holding me
Please don’t let me be
Tonight just may be our last

The sun arrives
You wake and peek outside
Touch my hand and walk right away
I hear you close the door
I don’t feel joy anymore
And my heart is racing to who knows where

And I say it’s our last night
And clutch my soul so tight
I’ll let go to feel you again

Let’s all go home again
Find where we have been
Time is never understood
And I see you holding me
Please don’t let me be
Tonight just may be our last

Let’s all go home again
Find where we have been
Time is never understood
And I see you holding me
Please don’t let me be
Tonight just may be our last

Let It Breathe

Could we do it again
If he asked how it felt
And I didn’t say this time
You tried to scare me with empty thoughts
That means not a thing
‘Cause I’m down behind you
Could we swing it again
If I changed how he looked
And turned to the right to bend
You live with something that I can’t explain
But your face cracks a smile when you see it shining

You feel things in your own way
And I’m supposed to lay down and bow to you
I’m tired of bailing hay for something that I can’t see
I don’t want to be you
You don’t want to be me.
Just let it breathe

If the moon goes up tomorrow and I’m down on a farm
And you don’t believe whose writing with me
Keep your hands to yourself
Keep your mind to yourself
Keep your breath to yourself
Let me float on by you

You see things in your own way
And I’m supposed to lay down and bow to you
I’m tired of bailing hay for something that I can’t see
You don’t want to be me
I don’t want to be you

It’s so very necessary
It’s so delectable to see a stone
It’s so impossible to find a reason
When you’re standing there
Watching me now

Could we live it again
If we dressed just the same
And held on to lovers when
We couldn’t really live with anyone
See mostly ourselves so just go on lying

You feel things in your own way
And I’m supposed to lay down and bow to you
I’m tired of bailing hay for someone that I can’t see
I don’t want to be you
You don’t want to be me
Just let it breathe
Let it breathe

Fairweather Johnson

I like the Steelers in 75’
I only like the Broncos when they come alive
I like the Redskins in 83’
But when the Dolphins are on, yeah, that’s the team for me.
Cause I’m Fairweather Johnson

(background) Johnson I like the Braves in 95’

Laughing song ends

Not Even the Trees

Alone as I sit and watch the trees
Won’t you tell me if I scream will they bend down and listen to me
And it makes me wonder if I know the words will you come
Or will you laugh at me
Or will I run

Little boy says to me,
“Where you goin’ now son”
I said, “I don’t know where I’m goin’ boy
I only know where I’m from”
And it makes me wonder
If the stars shine when my eyes close
Or does my brothers heart cry
I don’t know

I’m a stranger in my home
Now that everybody’s gone
Someone please talk to me
Cause I feel you cry
And you’re sitting with him
And I know I’ll never see you again

Lying down in Charleston under the Carolina sky
You see I’m tired of feeling this pain
I’m tired of living my own little lie
And it makes me wonder
When I see you in my dreams
Does it mean anything
Are you trying to talk to me

I’m a stranger in my home
Tell me are you feeling alone
Someone tell me what to do
‘Cause I’m feeling strong
And I wonder how you feel
Do you realize my pain is for real
I see you in my dreams
And I wonder if you’re looking down at me
And smiling right now
I wanna know if it’s true
When he looks at me
Won’t you tell me
Does he realize he came down here
And he took you too soon

And now my days are short an my nights are long
I lay down with memories of you keep that keep me going on, going on
It makes me wonder as I sit and stare
Will I see your face again
Tell me, do you care
I’m a stranger in my home
Living life on my own
Right now I just can’t see
‘Cause i’m feeling weak
And my sould begins to bleed
And no one is listening to me, not even the trees

Look Away

I saw her standing there
Tears upon her cheek told me something was wrong
I asked her what it was
She looked away and said my daddy?s home.

I knew what that meant
It meant that I could never see her again
I had seen this once before
I didn?t wanna deal with it anymore

Look away she said, as she turned to me
And when I tried to hold her, I couldn?t let her be
Let her be, Let her be

I said why, why do you make me cry
She said I love you so, Look away I don?t wanna know
I saw her standing there
Tears upon her cheek told me something?s wrong
I said what baby
she looked away and said my daddy?s home

Look away she said, and she turned to me
but darling, oh I loved her, couldn?t let her be
Let her be, Let her be

Look away, she said I love you so, Look Away.
