Simple Words, And Quietness!

i used to write
with exploding images,
and intricate rhymes.
mapping the grand design
of passion unfolding.
but now i've reached a place
of quietness, and simple words,
raw honesty, and tiny flames...
and i'm at peace with myself.

i know that all war is wrong,
that hunger and homelessness
are a scourge, the result
of our own actions.
and i feel deeply the responsibility
to share in the suffering
of one and all.

i dont blame anything on God,
we havent even touched
what God is with our concepts.
dont blame anything on politicians,
we put them there
out of our own apathetic greed.
i dont blame lonliness on lovers,
you cant know love
without having been lonely.

age brings with it a deep sense
of mortality, and of the value
of each fleeting moment.
it's all too easy to spend
your life fighting and working
for things that have no lasting value...
i know, i've been there.

i learned to look in the mirror,
and really see myself.
learned to look at myself,
and see all others.
i've taken responsibility for
my thoughts and desires,
as well as my actions...
so i have no right to judge.

compassion, and giving...
celebrate the moment.
what i dont know
i dont have to know...
i have enough faith
to keep walking.

simple words, and quietness!

Sometimes Lovers

Sometimes there are teardrops across your face
Sometimes there are rainbows in the same place
And I dont know which way to turn
Sometimes lovers dont act like they should
And sometimes lovers dont do all they could
Sometimes lovers hide in the cover
Of innocence and blame
I know sometimes we act just the same
Your hearts in the city, it wears me down
No love, no pity, in this town
And I dont know which way to turn
Sometimes lovers dont act like they should
And sometimes lovers dont do all they could
Sometimes lovers hide in the cover
Of innocence and blame
I know baby
Hold on tight to me mama
Tell me what went wrong
Im alright I will lay beside you
Till the night is gone
Ah, oo ...
Sometimes lovers dont act like they should
And sometimes lovers dont do all they could
Sometimes lovers hide in the cover
Of innocence and blame
Sometimes lovers dont act like they should
Sometimes lovers dont do all they could
Sometimes lovers hide in the cover
Of innocence and blame

Respect Yourself

respect yourself!
dont sell your time
too cheaply.
dont live for possessions.
dont give yourself
to anyone you dont love.
dont try to be
like everyone else.
dont settle!

dont always follow...
ask questions!
feel free to doubt!
dont blame your life
on anyone else.
take responsibility
for yourself.

respect yourself!

Love Dont Love You

Chorus:
Love dont love you, love dont care
Love dont love you, love dont care
Verse 1:
You said youd always be there
You said youd always care
You always comfort me
You used to share things with me
You used to have time for me
Now it all seemed to end
I cant control my fears
Neither hold back tears
Knowing that somethings wrong, yeah
The more that I fight with you
The more I realize
It takes more than love
To satisfy my life
Chorus:
Love dont love you, love dont care (its got to be you, baby)
Love dont love you, love dont care (not love, baby)
Verse 2:
I thought I never would see
The day that you and me
Could not communicate
It came to my surprise
The only reason why
We misused the four-letter words
I should have known the signs
Instead I was blind
Ignoring what people would say
When will I ever learn
Cant blame it all on one word
Some words can seem more brutal than kind
Chorus:
Love dont love you, love dont care (love dont love you)
Love dont love you, love dont care (got to be you)
Love dont love you (love dont care about you, no way, no way, no way)
Love dont care no way
Bridge:

You see it takes a fool to learn
That love dont love nobody (got to be you)
But Ive learned
That love dont love me
And it sure cant love you (can only be you, oh)
So what are you gonna do
Dont just say you love me (baby)
You got to show me (show me that you care)
So where do we go from here
You tell me
You got to show me that you love me
Show me that you care
I need to know that you will always be there
Im gonna be there for you
Love dont love no one
And it sure dont care
Love dont love nobody
You should take my advice
Show me that you love me
Show me that you care, baby
Chorus:
Love dont love you, love dont care
Love dont love you, love dont care
(repeat chorus)

The Sun & The Moon

The autumn leaves were falling
As we raced against the sun
And all but friends stop calling
They assumed the race was run
And no one here can understand or reason
What weve done
We cant provide the answer
But we can provide the gun
It always looked so easy
When we watched it while were young
We always found a reason
To be cheerful having fun
Dont blame the moon
Dont blame the sun
Just tell me everything will be done
Dont blame the stars from up above
Just tell me everything is done for love
The energy of arrogance
Is wasted on the young
The power of all the thoughts
We have is greater than the sum
Dont believe your brothers
They will break you one by one
Dont believe your daughters
They will never bear you sons
*repeat chorus
It always seemed so easy
When we watched it while were young
We always found a reason to be cheerful having fun
Dont blame the moon
Dont blame the sun
Just tell me everything will be done
Dont blame the stars from up above
Just tell me everything is done for love

Dont Blame It On Love

(words by daryl hall & john oates
Music by daryl hall)
Mighty high or low down
Change around the words and they say
Low is not the last one
Cause you know, if you know
Youd be learning from a hit lip
Success is sitting fat and limp
But dont blame it on the system
Its only natural only natural
Blame it on yourself
Blame it on me
But dont blame it on love
Who dya think your heroes are?
Failures everyone
But you all love them for their innocence
When they fall when they fall
The losers always deified
Winner only takes home the prize
But dont blame it on the system
Its only natural its only natural
For you to blame it on yourself
Blame it on me
But dont blame it on love

Simpleton

Its built,
up inside.
Youre on,
the verge of exploding.
Self less,
enough to say.
I meant what I said,
and Im not even sorry.
What is to get?
Its simple now.
Cut to the quick.
No misunderstanding.
You sit there,
on your side.
Dont blame yourself,
blame it on your family.
Self less,
enough to tell.
If you walk away,
then Im not running after.
What is to get?
Its simple now.
Cut to the quick.
Dont misunderstand.
I know you hate him,
cause you said you did.
How can you fake it?
Its some misunderstanding.
Inside, your delivered from the stress.
You say that your fine,
but I think youre wishing.
What is to get?
Its simple now.
Cut to the quick.
Dont misunderstand.
Dont misunderstand.
Dont misunderstand

Dont Let It Show

Lead vocal: dave townsend
If its getting harder to face every day
Dont let it show, dont let it show
Though its getting harder to take what they say
Just let it go, just let it go
And if it hurts when they mention my name
Say you dont know me
And if it helps when they say Im to blame
Say you dont own me
Even if its taking the easy way out
Keep it inside of you
Dont give in
Dont tell them anything
Dont let it
Dont let it show
Even though you know its the wrong thing to say
Say you dont care, say you dont care
Even if you want to believe theres a way
I wont be there, I wont be there
But if you smile when they mention my name
Theyll never know you
And if you laugh when they say Im to blame
Theyll never own you
Even if you feel youve got nothing to hide
Keep it inside of you
Dont give in
Dont tell them anything
Dont let it
Dont let it show

Blame It On A Sad Song

(gary rossington -- johnny vanzant -- rickey medlocke -- hughie thomasson)
Here I sit all by myself
Wonderin how she could put our love on a shelf
A crowd of people, they pass me by
But all I can do is hang my head and cry
(chorus)
Blame it on a sad song in the night
I dont want anyone but you to make it right
Blame it on a sad song in the night
Well, its an old familiar feelin
Girl, its got my heart reelin
Dont want to hear a sad song in the night
Anymore
I know when we first started out
I was your only love and you had no doubt
But songs of the heart dont last forever
But dont you give up on love cause you never say never
Blame it on a sad song in the night
I dont want anyone but you to make it right
Blame it on a sad song in the night
Well, its an old familiar feelin
Girl, its got my heart reelin
Dont want to hear a sad song in the night
Anymore
cause not a day goes by that I dont think about you
Oh, moment to moment, I get lost in time
And many years from now when I hear that song come on the radio
All those feelings will come back to haunt me
My heart will let me know
Blame it on a sad song in the night
I dont want anyone but you to make it right
Blame it on a sad song in the night
Well, its an old familiar feelin
Girl, its got my heart reelin
Dont want to hear a sad song anymore
Blame it on a sad song
You can blame it on a sad song, baby
Blame it on, blame it on a sad song

Natural

Everything around is natural dont fight it
Dont disagree with this and that, no
Astrology, evolution, this-and-that-ity
This religion and that, no
Chorus
And if they were not meant to be
Well dont you think they wouldnt be
And if they were not meant to be
Well dont you think they wouldnt be, oh
Your beliefs, philosophy, dont give us peace
Destruction of our enemy does it make us right
And if you took them apart and destroyed them all now one by one
This still wont make it work, no
Everything we like and dont like is whole and natural
I know is doesnt feel like it and the world seems wrong
But if we dont like it now then who can we blame
Blame god, be still, find harmony

Put The Blame On Me

(words & music by twomey - wise - blagman)
If they say we were doin wrong
If they say we were out too long
Well, you can say
My arms were just too strong
Put the blame, put the blame on me
Felt so good when I held you tight
Couldnt stop when we kissed goodnight
So if they tell us we dont heave the right
Put the blame, put the blame on me
What I feel is deep inside
This is real and I wont hide
Go ahead, use my name
Ill be proud to take the blame
You just did what I made you do
You love me and I love you
So if the way they talk can bother you
Put the blame, put the blame on me

Shame On The Moon

Words and music by rodney crowell
Until youve been beside a man
You dont know what he wants
You dont know if he cries at night
You dont know if he dont
When nothin comes easy
Old nightmares are real
Until you ve been beside a man
You dont know how he feels
Once inside a womans heart
A man must keep his head
Heaven opens up the door
Where angels fear to tread
Some men go crazy
Some men go slow
Some men go just where they want
Some men never go
Oh blame it on midnight
Ooh shame on the moon
Everywhere its all around
Comfort in a crowd
Strangers faces all around
Laughin right out loud
Hey watch where your goin
Step light on old toes
Cause until youve been beside a man
You dont know who he knows
Oh blame it on midnight
Ooh shame on the moon
Oh blame it on midnight
Ooh shame on the moon

Go Away

Well I think of you when I fantasize
The best I ever had
And I think of you when Im drivin
Myself completely mad
(why dont we go)
Why dont we go away?
(why dont we go)
Why dont we go away?
Walkin on the footbridge
High above the clouds
Listenin to your yesterday
Didnt make a sound
Dazzled by your sweet lips
Touchin on me
Here comes trouble
Cant you see?
(why dont we go)
(why dont we go)
Why dont we go away?
(why dont we go)
(why dont we go)
Why dont we go away?
Well I think of you when I dramatize
The things we never did
And I think of you when Im flyin
Or when Im feelin just like a kid
(why dont we go)
(why dont we go)
Why dont we go away?
(why dont we go)
(why dont we go)
Why dont we go away?
(why dont we go)
(why dont we go)
Why dont we go away?
(why dont we go)
(why dont we go)
Why dont we go away?
(why dont we go away? )

Heart Like A Wheel

In the days of confusion
Youve turned angry and cold
You say its an ilusion
Theres no fire in your soul
Say you dont love me
Say you dont care
But dont leave me standing here
Your hears like a wheel
Just waiting to roll
Its longing for freedom
To get out on the road
Youre hungry for something
That you may never find
So many reasons
Your love has made you blind
You say you dont love me
You say you dont care
So dont leave me standing here
Dont leave me standing here
You say you dont love me
You say you dont care
Dont leave me
Dont leave me standing here
Life aint been easy
Full of passion and pain
Told me no reason
Why I was to blame
Dont leave me standing
Dont leave me standing
Dont leave me standing
On my own

Dont You Want Me

You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar
When I met you
I picked you out, I shook you up, and turned you around
Turned you into someone new
Now five years later on youve got the world at your feet
Success has been so easy for you
But dont forget its me who put you where you are now
And I can put you back down too
Dont, dont you want me?
You know I cant believe it when I hear that you wont see me
Dont, dont you want me?
You know I dont believe you when you say that you dont need me
Its much too late to find
You think youve changed your mind
Youd better change it back or we will both be sorry
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar
That much is true
But even then I knew Id find a much better place
Either with or without you
The five years we have had have been such good times
I still love you
But now I think its time I lived my life on my own
I guess its just what I must do
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh

At Least Im Known For Something

Im in and out of conversation
Its hard to keep my attention
Locked down
So dont take offense
To anything I say
I tried so hard to keep you
Coming back my way
But you dont know the half
And Im the one to blame for it
Cause Im best known for failure
Best knows for giving up
Theres nothing I could say
That could matter
That could matter enough x2
I figured out my situation
I am an endless source
Of useless information
Give me bad news cause
Its already been expected
I let my front down and
I know I will regret it
But you dont know the half
And im the one to blame for it
Cause im best knows for failure
Best known for giving up
Theres nothing that i could say
That could matter
That could matter enough x2
Lets get down
To business now
Im saving myself
The trouble in the end x2
But you dont know the half
And Im the one to blame for it
Cause im best known for failure
Best known for giving up
Theres nothing that I could say
And Im the one to blame for it
Yeah Im the one to blame
Best known for failure
Best known for giving up
Theres nothing i could say
That could matter
That could matter enough

Since I Dont Have You

I dont have plans and schemes and I dont have hopes and dreams.
I dont have anything since I dont have you.
I dont have fond desires and I dont have happy hours.
I dont have anything since I dont have you.
I dont have happiness and I guess I never will again.
When you walked out on me in walked old misery,
And hes been here since then.
I dont have love to share and I dont have one who cares.
I dont have anything since I dont have you.
You, you...

Dont Tell Me

(graham russell, michael sherwood, jimmy haun)
You were late last night, the candle burned so low
And in my darkest hour I knew you had to go
Did he hold you like I held you once before
Is there someone else that loves you even more
Dont tell me
Standing face to face the words just fall away
But in my loneliness I knew just what to say
Did he touch you where I touched you long ago
Please dont answer, I dont really want to know
So dont tell me
Dont tell me
Dont tell me
Dont tell me
Dont tell me
I have no more to give you
I have no room to share
I know the road I follow going nowhere
Dont tell me
Dont tell me
Dont tell me
Should I close my eyes and say Im giving up
Can we compromise the darker side of love
Did he hold you like I held you once before
Since I lost your love I need you even more
Dont tell me lies
I have no more to give you
I have no room to share
I know the road I follow going nowhere
Dont tell me
Dont tell me
Dont tell me
Dont tell me
Dont tell me

Dont Ever Tell Me That You Love Me

I met her, down at the store on the corner
She was a prettier girl that was ever in a magazine
She was an angel, all dressed up like the devil
I knew Id never forgive myself unless I asked her out this eve
So I asked to the movies and she put her arms around me
Right at the start of the show
The she kissed me on the ear and she whispered dear love
She said, dont ever tell me that you love me
Just dont say those three words
To me so I dont ever have to be true.
She said, dont ever tell me that you need me
Just dont say those three words to me so I dont have to worry
Can you imagine how it hit me
And the funny thing is that it was just occurring to myself
So I said, hey dont jump to conclusions
Just what makes you so sure that I could ever fall for you myself
But even as I said it,
I knew I never meant it
I could feel cupids arrow from above
By the end of the movie I was falling in love
She said, dont ever tell me that you love me
Just dont say those three words to me so I dont ever have to be true.
She said, dont ever tell me that you need me
Just dont say those three words to me so I dont have to worry about you
Dont ever tell me that you love me
Just dont say those three words to me so I dont have to worry about you
Just dont say those three words to me so I dont have to worry about you

Dont Ask Me

I got ideas but I dont know it all
And when I speak you know my voice is small
And when Im walking down the street
I never smile at folks I meet
Cause I know they wont smile at me
Now ask yourself why this should be
But if you want the answers
If you want the answers
Dont ask me
If you want the answers
If you want the answers
Dont ask me
I got feelings but they dont count for much
And I shake my fist but I got no power as such
But if I tell you what I see
Dont throw my words right back at me
Cause I cant shout and I cant moan
Cause I got problems of my own
But if you want the answers
If you want the answers
Dont ask me
If you want the answers
If you want the answers
Dont ask me
Someday soon I gotta learn enough
To justify my actions
Until then I want you all to try
To share my gut reactions
Gut reactions
But if you want the answers
If you want the answers
Dont ask me
If you want the answers
If you want the answers
Dont ask me
