Let's sing some good old-fashioned tune About the sun gone 'round the moon And love that never fades too soon -And really makes 'em swoon Let's take a chance it won't take long It just so happens I know the song Do feel free to sing along -It don't matter if it's wrong At times I felt so run around Turned inside out flipped upside down Off course and of course run aground -Until your love I found Like a square wheel rolling down the block Like a square meal left and gone to rot In search of the thing I had not -Until your love I got Rosy lips and pale white skin And swaying hips and genuine Strong love for me through thick and thin -That grows and never ends You took my hand and took my name And took made heart and took the rain And turned it into sun again -My roughness you made plane Contained within this little tune The love that's shared between the two Of us is spelled out plain and true -Just as the morning dew Spreads moisture upon all the blades Grass even those in the shade Leaves none untouched leaves none dismayed -For together we will stay

Weather's growing colder Winter's almost here This fall we've grown older Than our years The spring of life's begun Into the great unknown Some shake, some ramble, I roll And pray the breeze of fate at our backs gently blows Caught a glimpse of our lives Past Eden and the Fall Past the flood and the tide Past the Jericho walls Past the blood of the Nile Past the dominion of sin Past the Great Exile I saw our lives begin to begin -again and again and again Standing in the threshold Waiting to come in Between what's to be And all that's ever been In the here and the now Through the conveyance of time Life ain't no circle, life is a line Spiraling in on itself 'Till the day we collide And become inseparable from the divine

East of the sun, West of the moon In a land far away Lies a castle of ice in a field of white Between night and day Through many a mile and many a trial We will make our way To the land that I've seen clear in my dreams As though I were awake But the path is never easy The road ain't one to forgive I'll always be there to relieve you Though I've not much to give Nobody knows where this road really goes But we will soldier on For the love that we share will help us to bear The load that we took on I have faith in you and what you can do And all you've already done Has driven us near, so be strong my dear For we are almost home But the path is never easy And the road ain't one to forgive I'll always be there to relieve you Though I've not much to give

You are the thunder I am the roar You are the rain I am the storm We once were strangers Now strangers no more The calm met with comfort Comfort met with warmth But without your love I'm a rich man turned poor Though most is uncertain Of this I am sure There can't be fire Without a flame A burning desire Imprisoned enslaved Though with you beside me My strength I'll regain For your love resides in me In my heart and my veins A world without love Is a world without light Without grace from above Without joy or delight Where the sun's glorious rays Pierce not shades of the night Is a world filled with darkness Misfortune and strife Where all battles are lost And no victor unites For a world without love Cannot help but divide There can't be fire Without a flame No burning desire To call you by name For a world without love Leaves you crippled and lame While no hope but the sweet release Of death through pain Thank God we have fire And fuel for the flames Of our burning desire Of our passionate rage Through love we're unbridled Unfettered unchained Even death is now powerless Only life remains

The sunlight stumbles through your window To lightly dance upon your skin As I lay here and wish This was how all days begin With my mind I trace your body In my heart I love you more Than anything I've ever known I've never felt this way I've never felt this way before With this hand capture the moment With this pen write the score Every line and every word Will live on forevermore With my mind I trace your body With my heart I love you more You know I'd give you the world, But love babe; Love is all I can afford Warmth is light; light is love Love is truth; truth is verse Verse is song; song is grace Grace is beauty; beauty is cursed In my mind I trace your body In my heart I love you more In my arms I long to hold you You're the light I'm looking for

The year nineteen ninety one; that December, your last. I never really knew who you were and I apologize for never really crying. I did not fully grasp the concept of dying, but now as I look back I understand the feelings they had. Fifteen years later I go through your drawer. There are so many things still left to explore. Locked on my wrist, is a memory of you slowly passing time.

Homegrown tomatoes Hold a special place In my heart as well as my dinner plate When I see 'em I just can't wait to stuff my face There ain't no way That I don't like 'em If you've never in your life Boy you need to try 'em 'Cause it ain't really livin' Until you've dined on these Chorus: Homegrown tomatoes Taste better when you've made 'em Getting bigger all season From the month of May Through all of Summer's dog days And just when you think You can't beat the heat Man them suckers are Ready to eat Grab yourself a seat 'Cause you're in for a treat You can eat 'em sliced You can eat 'em sauced Peeled, pasted, pureed, diced Or even tossed In the direction of the stage If you don't like to song I sing They come in all colors Red, orange, and yella They'll even satisfy The orneriest fella On his face he'll wear a smile Where once developed a frown Chorus: Homegrown tomatoes Taste better when you've made 'em Getting bigger all season From the month of May Through all of Summer's dog days And just when you think You can't beat the heat Man them suckers are Ready to eat Grab yourself a seat 'Cause you're in for a treat When the weather's hot and mean And the grass is dry Get you a green tomato Battered and fried Topped with some sour cream and chive What a delight Now that's a night Now that's delight Homegrown tomatoes Are better than bought You don't need a thousand acres Just a little plot In your backyard Where the sun shines down a lot Chorus: Homegrown tomatoes Taste better when you've made 'em Getting bigger all season From the month of May Through all of Summer's dog days And just when you think You can't beat the heat Man them suckers are Ready to eat Grab yourself a seat 'Cause you're in for a treat Homegrown tomatoes Are better than bought You don't need a thousand acres Just a little plot In your backyard Where the sun shines down a lot

about

These are all demos of songs yet to be recorded. The purpose here is to have a venue for you to listen to the evolution of my writing. Although there is a price for the download, the purpose is not to sell this material in its present form. These demos are mainly intended for streaming use. Most all of these were recorded on the day that the song was finished, and are slightly different from their current. If there are any of these songs that you would like to see appear on an upcoming release in a fully fleshed out form please let me know by send me an email or a message. I would love to hear your feedback.
