Watching, waiting
You know it shouldnt take this long
Leaning, forward
I know it couldnt possibly take much longer
I know the pain moves on
And I feel the same for the wrong
Angels, walking, floating on and on
Breathing, eloquent
I know it couldnt possibly wait much longer
Searching, so long
I know well find a way
Reaching all alone
I know they couldnt possibly hate much longer

Just Couldnt Wait
I miss her face, but the girl left seven years ago.
Guess I never shouldve let her go.
Thats how I feel because I love her so.
But Im afraid that she will never know.
She just couldnt wait, she said she couldnt wait til some day.
She just couldnt wait, my baby just couldnt wait, no.
She said she couldnt wait til some day, til some day.
Oh, tell me now, where do the broken-hearted go from here.
You missed her love and now youre steering clear.
I aint afraid of nothin but my fear.
The fear that she might see this rollin tear.
She just couldnt wait, she said she couldnt wait til sunday.
She just couldnt wait, my baby just couldnt wait, no.
She just couldnt wait, my baby just couldnt wait, no.
Oh she couldnt wait til sunday no, til sunday.
She just couldnt wait, my baby just couldnt wait, no.
She said she couldnt wait til sunday.
She just couldnt wait, my baby just couldnt wait, no.
She said she just couldnt wait.
You know she just couldnt wait, no.
She said she couldnt wait til sunday, til sunday.
Oh, oh...

I Couldnt Wait Forever
I couldnt wait forever
Did you expect me to
I guess you thought Id never
Find somebody new
I lived on dreams and promises
As long as I could
I couldnt wait forever
The way you thought I would
The lonely nights grew longer
As I prayed for time to fly
I lived on hopes that youd return
And thats how I got by
The agony of loneliness
Just got too much for me
I couldnt wait forever
Needing love so desperately
So I found new lips to kiss me
New arms to hold me tight
I found new love and happiness
To fill these empty nights
You took my love for granted
Now my heart has found a new home
I couldnt wait forever
Forevers just too long
I couldnt wait forever
Forevers just too long

I Just Couldnt Say No
Written by randy owen, teddy gentry, and greg fowler
Youve got me achin more than I should
My heart is breakin, oh dont it feel good
cause I know for certain, were magic in love
Youve got me hurtin, cause I cant get enough
I just couldnt say no even though I should
Even if I did, wonder if you could
I just couldnt say no when your eyes say yes, yes
I just cant say no, Ive tried my best
The way you tease me makes me want you more
You purr like a kitten but I hear you roar
Your body language is talkin to me
Right here in the darkness, its so plain to see
I just couldnt say no even though I should
Even if I did, wonder if you could
I just couldnt say no, no, when your eyes say yes, yes
I just cant say no, Ive tried my best, I just couldnt say no
I just couldnt say no, no, when your eyes say yes, yes
I just cant say no, Ive tried my best
I just couldnt say no, Ive tried my best
I just couldnt say no

Her Poem
The Stars that shine
The moon that glows
You still inspire the rhyme
And the feeling that never goes
Life keeps us apart
But we find our way back
You stole my heart
When, I dont know, I lost track
Why did you let me leave?
Why didnt you try to stop me
I just couldnt believe
The pain I gained that you couldnt see
I saw you again
The feelings came back rushed
I couldnt remember the pain
But relished how we touched
I'll never forget
Its something I cant do
Nor will I regret
What I've done with you
No matter what we do
No matter where we go
I'll always love you
Its a promise you will always know
That will never change
No matter how long
The distance between us may change
But what I feel for you will never feel wrong
Heaven Is One Step Away
By eric clapton
We searched all through the night.
I couldnt find it; you couldnt find it.
I knew something wasnt right.
I couldnt find it; you couldnt find it.
And they say heaven is one step away.
Heaven is one step away.
And then there came the dawn:
I couldnt find it; you couldnt find it.
I just had to carry on.
I couldnt find it; you couldnt find it.
Chorus
We didnt leave till a quarter to three.
All your friends, they were laughing at me.
I dont get it, I dont understand;
Who is that man holding your hand?
First verse
Chorus
Heaven is one step away.
Heaven is one step away.
Heaven is one step away.
Heaven is one step away.

Heart Away
(robin wilson)
Heres a little something that I brought here for you
It aint much but it might just do
Fairly serious could hardly say
That I couldnt give my heart away
I couldnt give my heart away
Its never enough to feel and say
Throw my promises away
Several things that I could do
But I couldnt give my heart to you
I couldnt give my heart to you
Smokes on the table the matches are lost
Theres room in the back of the bar
Fairly serious could hardly say
That I couldnt give my heart away
I couldnt give my heart away
Aw, its not really serious but I should prove
That I dont mean what I might not do
Not that you wanted it anyway
But I couldnt give my heart away
I couldnt give my heart away...

How Much Longer
I'm stuck
Inside
Can't get this done wish I could hide
This scene is really such a pain
I just
Can't see
How this is any use to me
This work is drivin' me insane
All I really want is to get away (can anybody tell me)
How much longer
Till I'm done
How much longer
Wanna feel the sun
How much longer
I can't wait
How much longer until I can play that game
It's on
My mind
I think I'm runnin out of time
This weight is more than I can take
That clock
Is slow
It's never gonna let me go
This time I need more than just a break
All I really want is to get away (can anybody tell me)
How much longer
Till I'm done
How much longer
Wanna feel the sun
How much longer
I can't wait
How much longer until I can play that game
How much longer
Till I'm done
How much longer
Wanna feel the sun
How much longer
I can't wait
How much longer until I can play that game
And here I go again (and here I go again)
Wondering when (when)
I can have my time to play
(Can anybody tell me)
(Can anybody, can anybody tell me)
How much longer
Till I'm done
How much longer
Wanna feel the sun
How much longer
I can't wait
How much longer until I can play that game
How much longer
Till I'm done
How much longer
Wanna feel the sun
How much longer
I can't wait
How much longer until I can
How much longer until I can play that game
(I want to play that game)
Play that game
(I want to play that game)

Cant Wait
Ive been on this road a long time
Ive been travellin for days
But it seems Im getting nowhere
I just cant find my way
Ive been following directions
But they must be out of date
And I cant, and I cant, and I cant, no I cant
Decide which road to take
See Ive got to find my baby
Cause we need to work things out
Ive got to see that woman
I cannot do without her!
You know I cant wait, cant wait another moment
I cant wait, I cant wait another heartbeat
No I cant wait, cant wait another moment
I couldnt wait another heartbeat
I cant wait until midnight
And the nights go on forever
These days I get no sleep
And I miss her more than ever
Inside where love runs deep
Oh I know Im going to find her
Cause Im following this star
And I cant, and I cant, no I cant turn back
Oh lord, Ive come so far
And Ill know shell whisper in my ear
bout all the things Ive missed
Shes got that way about her now
I never could resist
And now I cant wait, cant wait another moment
No I cant wait, I cant wait another heartbeat
I cant wait, cant wait another moment
I couldnt wait another heartbeat
I cant wait until midnight
No I cant wait
I cant wait another moment
I couldnt wait another heartbeat
I cant wait until the midnight
Now I cant wait
No no no cant wait
No no no
Cant wait
No no no
Cant wait

Eyes Hers And Mine
I look into my eyes
Beautiful kohl lined
Sad eyes,
Shiny with tears.
Tears unshed,
Tears controlled,
Tears saved from
Yesterday,
Possibly today.
I look deeper
Beyond the shine of those tears.
I see my soul,
Her eyes a reflection
Of mine.
Beautiful kohl lined,
Sad eyes.
In them,
I see the same wait
Which I see in mine.
I see the same pain
Which I feel in mine.
Tears unshed,
Tears controlled,
Tears saved from yesterday,
Possibly from today.
Her loneliness,
A bigger cry than mine.
But, something sets her apart,
There exists a difference,
There exists a spark,
Which I guess is missing in mine.
I see in her eyes
The spark called
"Hope"
A wish called
"tomorrow".
The determination
She will someday find
What she sought
Yet could not find
Yesterday,
Possibly will not find
Even today.
But tommorow
Will be the day
She will no longer need to cry
The tears unshed
Tears controlled,
Tears saved from yesterday
Possibly today.-anjali

A Story About A Wedding and My Friend and Poverty and Joblessness
i met an old classmate
today
at the wedding of
a newly appointed high school teacher
my ex-classmate is jobless and his wife
looks like
an old sickly monkey with less hair on her head
(forgive me but that is
the only possible
adjective that
i can give)
he is fat and feels like
a louse
(i am sorry
i am intruding into his
own feelings)
he does not like me
his eyes are shouting at me
possibly because we look the same
possibly because we too
feel the same
possibly because our wives look
like twins
possibly because the weather is bad
and people do not mind us
because everyone is hungry and
there is nothing much to eat

Killing Time
Who is counting sleepless nights
Who is counting letters I meant to write
I said who is counting at all
If you are
I look pretty small
But no matter what I do
If I couldnt call you mine
If I couldnt be with you
Id just be killing time
You went searching for me in the night sky
And when I burned away you wondered why
Well Ill tell you babe I could not bear to stall
I fell too fast I fell too far
But no matter what I do
If I couldnt call you mine
If I couldnt be with you
Id just be killing time
Big big fishes in little ponds
Ive seen them walk around with magic wands
But no matter what I do
If I couldnt call you mine
If I couldnt be with you
Id just be killing time
There aint no magician hidden inside of me
So no matter what you hear I hope you see
That just when Im trying to be tall
Thats when I end up looking pretty small
But no matter what I do
If I couldnt call you mine
If I couldnt be with you
Id just be killing time
No matter what I do
(and you know I will burn)
If I couldnt be call you mine
(like a star in the sky)
If I couldnt be with you
(all Id be doing is)
Id just be killing time
But no matter what I do
If I couldnt call you mine
If I couldnt be with you
Id just be killing time

Never Be Anyone Else But You
(baker knight)
Therell never be anyone else
But you for me
Never ever be
Just couldnt be
Anyone else but you
If I could take my pick of all
The boys Ive ever known
Then Id come and pick you out
To be my very own
Therell never be anyone else
But you for me
Never ever be
Just couldnt be
Anyone else but you
A heart thats true and longs for you
Is all I have to give
All my love belongs to you
As long as I may live
Therell never be anyone else
But you for me
Never ever be
Just couldnt be
Anyone else but you
I never will forget the way you kissed me
And when were not together
I wonder if you miss me
For I hope and pray the day will come
When you belong to me
Then Im gonna prove to you
How true my love can be
Therell never be anyone else
But you for me
Never ever be
Just couldnt be
Anyone else but you
Never ever be
Just couldnt be
Anyone else but you

Fine
A lovers quarrel
Death by a shotgun barrel
With a cleaning solution the instruments are made sterile.
A hairy situation.
Like a plastic surgeon.
Rewriting the expression.
In both the date and time.
Now its fine
Now its fine.
Fine as fine can be.
I no longer need you and you no longer need me.
Can you hear the anger scream.
Reaching out for mercy in its desperate pleas.
Now its fine
Now its fine.
Fine as fine can be.
I no longer need you and you no longer need me.
Can you hear the anger scream.
Reaching out for mercy in its desperate pleas.
Changing my identity
Becoming that man I never use to be
With all niceties, and pleasantries wrapped in a little bow tie.
I don't even know how I survived.
Some thought I would have committed suicide.
But my drive just wouldn't let me.
Well, Now its fine
Now its fine.
Fine as fine can be.
I no longer need you and you no longer need me.
Can you hear the anger scream.
Reaching out for mercy in its desperate pleas.
Now its fine
Now its fine.
Fine as fine can be.
I no longer need you and you no longer need me.
Can you hear the anger scream.
Reaching out for mercy in its desperate pleas.
A murders escape.
A mind debates.
With shouts of hate.
How can you? Just how can you?
Emotional distress.
In all this I digest the worthiness
Worthless I've been called.
Well, Now its fine
Now its fine.
Fine as fine can be.
I no longer need you and you no longer need me.
Can you hear the anger scream.
Reaching out for mercy in its desperate pleas.
Now its fine
Now its fine.
Fine as fine can be.
I no longer need you and you no longer need me.
Can you hear the anger scream.
Reaching out for mercy in its desperate pleas.
I can still hear you every night I dream.
No sound sleep, not for me.
The way you made it seem.
My fault, the living breathing scapegoat
Is it not real enough?
Well, Now its fine
Now its fine.
Fine as fine can be.
I no longer need you and you no longer need me.
Can you hear the anger scream.
Reaching out for mercy in its desperate pleas.
Now its fine
Now its fine.
Fine as fine can be.
I no longer need you and you no longer need me.
Can you hear the anger scream.
Reaching out for mercy in it desperate pleas.
Now I stand upon the darkness
Ready to leap in.
All for you my friend.
Even though my wounds have yet to mend.
It matters not in the end.
Now its fine
Now its fine.
Fine as fine can be.
I no longer need you and you no longer need me.
Can you hear the anger scream.
Reaching out for mercy in it desperate pleas.
Now its fine
Now its fine.
Fine as fine can be.
I no longer need you and you no longer need me.
Can you hear the anger scream.
Reaching out for mercy in it desperate pleas.

Sister Ray
Duck and sally inside
They took her forty down five
Whos laying in the graveyard
Shes licking up her pig pen
Oh, you shouldnt do that
Dont you know youll stain the carpet
Oh man, dont you know youll stain the carpet
Aint that just like sister ray said
Im searching for my mainline
Oh babe, I couldnt hit it sideways
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, I couldnt hit it, hit it sideways
Then i, woh-oh, not that just like sister ray said
Now rosies got a new piece
She cocks and shoots it bang between three and four
Oh, she aims it at the sailor
Shoots her down dead on the floor
You shouldnt do that
Now dont you know youll stain the carpet
No baby, dont you know youll stain the carpet
And by the way you got a dollar
Im searching for my mainline
cause, baby-baby, hit it, oh, sideways
Hey baby now, I couldnt hit it sideways
Now ....
Oh baby, its like sister ray said
Give it to me, babe
Who is that knocking
Whos knocking on my chamber door
Could it be the police
They come and take me for a ride
I havent got the time-time
Shes, ah baby, sucking on my ding-dong
Shes sucking on my ding-dong
Oh, just like sister ray said
But Im searching for my mainline
I couldnt hit it, oh, side, oh, sideways
I said I couldnt, I couldnt
I couldnt hit it sideways
Just like
Baby, just like that
Baby, just like now
cause just like sister ray

One final letter
This my final letter.
A letter of the end.
A letter that says goodbye.
A letter with answers.
Im sorry, relly i am.
Dont be mad or sad.
I couldnt cope with it.
Couldnt live life.
I had to get off the bumpy ride.
My life was over long ago.
Abused attacked used and raped.
Evil laughter all around me.
A sound that never goes.
Theres your answer
If you really care.
Let me go now
dont cry for me
Dont grieve for long
in the wake of my suicide.
Im so so so sorry
but this is the final goodbye.
I couldnt leave without an explination
I had to give you the reasons why.
Now the razors deep in my arm.
The pills are swallowed deep in side.
The blood is pouring from me.
Now im dead and cold
Stiff and limb.
I had to go
I just had to go
I didnt want to go
What else was I to do?
My very last
And final goodbye
Im gone now
No longer a lifes burden.
Please dont cry for long
Im gone
Im gone
GONE
Its the final good bye

Please Dont Keep Me Waiting
(stephen sinclair/joe falsia)
I want to love you once again
Couldnt you love me too
Dont turn away from all that weve been thru
Everyone changes, be my friend
Havent you got the time
Help me I need you, throw me down a line
Please dont keep me waiting
I cant hold on much longer
Please dont keep me waiting
I cant love you any stronger
Please dont keep me waiting
I cant take this kind of pain
Take me back in your arms once again
Living on dreams from yesterday
Waking and youre not here
I wanna see your face
I want you near
Now is the moment we must live
You cant run and hide
I know you want me too
Down deep inside
Please dont keep me waiting
I cant hold on much longer
Please dont keep me waiting
I cant love you any stronger
Please dont keep me waiting
I cant take this kind of pain
Take me back in your arms once again
Please dont keep me waiting
I cant hold on much longer
Please dont keep me waiting
I cant love you any stronger
Please dont keep me waiting
I cant take this kind of pain
Take me back in your arms once again

Terror in the fields
I often dreamt there was a beast.
A beast lurking in the feild.
A human beast that didnt no how to be humane.
The only thing this beast knew was power of one thing.
The power of rape was what he knew.
As I played in the field.
My little playing place.
He was watching my every move.
Yes this is the perfect one shes all alone.
As I ran passed the trees.
He pounced on me.
Shut it or I'll kill you was what he said.
In that split second he raped me.
And I couldnt do a thing.
All I could do was lie there frozen to the spot.
I couldnt shout or scream.
I couldnt wriggle free.
Cos this wasnt the first time.
Now I cant play in my once happy place.
Its not the same its no longer safe.

Love Wouldnt Lie To Me
(written by don schlitz and terry radigan)
Ive played it over in my head
Thought about the words you said
Laid awake in my bed
Its gone, gone, gone
Ive tried to make it make some sense
How it came and how it went
Its still the same damn consequence
Its gone, gone, gone
Love shouldnt lie to me
Love couldnt lie to me
Love wouldnt lie to me
But it did
People come and people go
I put on a real good show
How I do it, I dont know
Its gone, gone, gone
Its all hanging by a thread
I try to see a day ahead
I only see the past instead
Its gone, gone, gone
Love shouldnt lie to me
Love couldnt lie to me
Love wouldnt lie to me
But it did
And though
I know
Ill survive
Love shouldnt lie to me
Love couldnt lie to me
Love wouldnt lie to me
But it did
But it did

Where That Loves Been Gone
Sometimes I wonder whos making love to you now
Now that its been so long
Yes sometimes I wonder whos making love to you now
Now that its been so long
Well I dont know where or when you found out
Where that loves been gone
Remember that winter we went walking in the snow
Now its been and gone
Yes, I remember the winter we went walking in the snow
Snow thats been and gone
And right across the country still Ive got to go
Wherever that loves been gone
But any old way theres a smile on my face
Theres a smile that I just cant hide
Though Im missing you now like I never knew how
I couldnt forget you if I tried
Dont it make you wonder, but I wouldnt worry no more
Standing by the side of the road
Oh dont it make you wonder, but I wouldnt worry no more
Just standing by the side of the road
Into the night you just pick up and go
Youll see where the loves been gone
But any old way theres a smile on my face
Thers a smile that I just couldnt hide
Thoush Im missing you now like I never knew how
I couldnt forget you if I tried
I couldnt forget you
I couldnt forget you
I couldnt forget you if I tried
I couldnt forget you
I couldnt forget you
I couldnt forget you if I tried
