You
You disappoint me
Time after time
Instance after instance
I walk behind
Rather than alongside you
The way I once did
I have been wondering why
You talk around the issues
That constantly surround us
You look beyond the answers
That escape you
When you allow them to go
Unrecognized and ignored
I don't understand why
You move through my life
As if I never wait
For your arrival
As though I don't miss you
When you leave me
Standing here without you
I wish that you would tell me why
You treat me as though
I am made of stone
Like I don't cry
When I'm alone
Like I never need
To be put first
You deprive me of water
As though I can't die of thirst
I need your love to be absolute

The Analogous
everything has
an analogy
for instance these hands
with fingers
are they not rivers and creeks
a source and
tributaries?
for instance this body
this temple
where my soul rests
this eye
this window of the house
the sun
the eye of the earth
a friend of the stars
the wonders of our longings
for instance
the silence
a dash in our talk
a space of our doubts
many more
for instance you and me
two hands in prayer

I Miss You
I can't understand.
It's a puzzel,
a mystery really.
I already miss you,
but your standing right in front of me.
Your slowly getting ready to leave,
leave me, and this town.
With all the lives you've touched,
you've touched mine the most.
I already miss you,
but your standing right in front of me.
You were with me
in the bad times and the good.
You taught me to be myself, and
to love God no matter what.
I already miss you, but
you are hugging me goodbye.
It's your time to move,
and show others, what you have shown me.
The meaning of life.
i already miss you, beacuse you just left.
I'll see you again sometime, I hope.
So goodbye and thanks.

Walk Away From Love
Move along youre in my way.
Ive made my mind up not to stay
And it dont matter what you do
cos me, Ive had enough of you.
And you can talk about the good times
I can just remember bad times.
There aint nothing left for saying
cos theres no way that Ill be staying
You tell me to remember
When I told you that Id never walk away
(chorus)
Hey baby, dont walk away from love
Tell me baby, aint my love enough,
Listen to the things I say
And tell me why do you walk away from love?
Leave you standing on your own
Its time I spent some time alone
Need a while to think this out
Not sure what its all about.
And its no use to sit there crying
cos I can see youre only lying.
Now Ill put the past behind me
Run some place where you cant find me.
You tell me to remeber
When I told you that Id never walk away.
(chorus repeat)
Bags are packed, I just cant wait.
Gotta get out before it gets too late,
I dont need you any more
And I dont need your love for sure.
And you can talk about the good times
I can just remember bad times.
There aint nothing left for saying
cos there no way that Ill be staying
You tell me to remember when I told you that Id never walk away.

Just As I Am
Ive had a lot of big dreams
Ive made a lot of bad moves
I know you could walk away
But you never do
Ive met a lot of cold hearts
Ive learned to smile and deceive
I know Im hard to be around
But you never leave
Im not easy to understand
But you hold out your hand
And you say you love me
Just as I am
You always treat me
The best that you can
You say you want me, need me
Love me, baby
Just as I am, just as I am
Ive made a lot of heartaches
Ive found a lot of closed doors
When all the others turn away
You love me more
You love me more
Im not easy to understand
But you hold out your hand
And you say you love me
Just as I am
You always treat me
The best that you can
You say you want me, need me
Love me, baby
Just as I am, just as I am
I want to love forever
To keep our world together
And be the best that I can be
Baby, every time the world caves in on me
And you say you love me
Just as I am
You always treat me
The best that you can
You say you want me, need me
Love me, baby
Just as I am, just as I am

Heart Of Stone
Ive told you once and Ive told you twice
Wait for that day, when our love will rise
To that song that brought our hearts together.
Even though youre mistreating me
I know the girl that you used to be
For me those days were meant to last forever.
Time after time Im wondering why
Am I to be all alone
Day after day I pray that youll stay
Cause youve got a heart of stone.
I walk the streets like a broken man
Oh I wish that you would understand
Even though youre still the one I wait for.
I guess in love theres no guarantee
Sometimes its not what it seems to be
Even though youre still the one I care for.

Sometimes....All the Time Joy
Sometimes things go smooth and merry
Sometimes things go uncertain and scary
All the Time…Day and Night
All the Time…Joy is in Sight
Sometimes people disappoint and cuss
Sometimes we disappoint and fuss
All the Time…Day and Night
All the Time…Joy is in Sight
Sometimes answers are hard to find
Sometimes words are not so kind
All the Time…Day and Night
All the Time...Joy is in Sight
Sometimes life is a mystery
Sometimes life releases history
All the Time…Day and Night
All the Time…Joy is in Sight
Sometimes love may enkindle you
Sometimes love may wound you
All the Time…Day and Night
All the Time…Joy is in Sight
Sometimes tasks and duties are complex
Sometimes humans are so perplex
All the Time...Joy is 3 S’es
All the Time…Salvation Self-Esteem Service..Oh YES! ! !

All I want is to talk to you
All I want is to talk to you
Im achin for your touch
Im breakin cause I miss you so much
Do you miss me, too?
All I want is to walk with you
All I want is to walk with you
Im hopin for your kiss
Im dopin cause I miss you so much
Do you miss me, too?
Little bit closer, little bit closer, someday
When I try to get closer, then you move away
And all I want to say is all I want is to be with you
All I want is to be with you
Youre hurting deep inside
Youre flirting cause you need to feel that you are still alive
Little bit closer, little bit closer, someway
When I try to get closer, then you move away
And all I want to say is all I want is to walk with you
All I want is to talk with you
Im prayin for one night
Im layin so low cause I love you so though I know it aint right

If You There
Your beauty pulses like a distant star
Once you were so near to me
And now you've gone so far
Wretched and affixed the word is in his stone [?]
Lying now don't move nor speak no statue here alone
Living here just with a memory
A simple recollection that's so dear to me
You said it's logical that we should part
What's pleasing to my intellect
Must surely break my heart
Man will always want what he can't have
It's more than he can do just to be brave
He seeks perfection in a thousand ways
Just throw another shovel on his grave
Born to live
Born to die
Born to wonder
Why, why, why, why
If you there
Would you leave me wondering?
If you there
Am I one man only?
If you there
Don't leave me wondering
If you there
You say that all we have is what we see
Baby all you understand is a little part of me
You said that I could never be the one
Promises evaporate in the angle of the sun
If the only certain thing is death
Walk a little nearer to it now with every breath
And if this time must wear a velvet glove
Then kindness and lies are the true friends of love
Man will always want what he can't have
It's more than he can do just to be brave
He seeks perfection in a thousand ways
Throw another shovel on his grave
Born to live
Born to die
Born to wonder
Why, why, why, why
If you there
Would you leave me wondering?
If you there
Am I one man only?
If you there
Don't leave me wondering
If you there

In All Situations (part Two)
just like in any other work
of art, painting for instance
there will fakes and there
will be real
there will be those that
pose for the genuine
but actually prized for
nothing,
but at what expense,
for instance let us take
a look at yours?
it will take me time
to read it
i have none. i do not have
the patience anymore
of looking at what's real or
fake, at what's quality,
art or garbage
we are here
not for anything, for what?
just plain nonsense
make time pass
and stare at the glass
letting the sands pour
between our boring
fingers.
smile, there is nothing
worth seriously taking.

I Wait For You
Each time I'm on the boulevard
You're there with me, walk by my side
But talk to me you'd never do
A thing I would expect of you
When in a movie house I sit
I'm not alone, to me you're next
I never, never taste your lips
Although I hunger for your kiss
In 'heartbreak cafe', site of our trysts
I dine alone, for you I wait
You would not come, you I would miss
Until it's time for me to leave
On my way home at the bus stop
I'll wait a while and there stand
Hoping of you I'll have a glimpse
But the buses just come and leave
I will not have the sight of you
Sad with frustration I would go
It's really hard to make believe
That in my world you still exist
Shall I forever hope and wait
How long shall I myself deceive

Cut Here
So we meet again!" and I offer my hand
All dry and English slow
And you look at me and I understand
yeah its the look I used to know
"Three long years... and your favorite man...
Is that anyway to say hello?"
And you hold me...
Like youll never let me go
"Oh cmon and have a drink with me
Sit down and talk a while... "
"Oh I wish I could... and I will!
But now I just dont have the time... "
And over my shoulder as I walk away
I see you give that look goodbye...
I still see that look in your eyes...
So dizzy Mr. Busy too much rush to talk to Billy
All the silly frilly things have to first get done
In a minute - Sometime soon - Maybe next time - Make it June
Until laterDoesnt always come
It so hard to think "It ends sometime
And this could be the last
I should really hear you sing again
And I should really watch you dance"
Because its hard to think
"Ill never get another chance to hold you...
To hold you... "
But chilly Mr. Dilly- too much rush To talk to Billy
All the tizzy fizzy idiot things must get done
In a second - Just Hang On - All in good time - Wont be long
Until later...
I shouldve stop to think - I should've made the time
I couldve had that drink - I couldve talked a while
I wouldve done it right - I wouldve moved us on
But I didnt - now it's all too late its over... over...
And you're gone...
I miss you I miss you I miss you I miss you
I miss you I miss you so much
But how many times can I walk away
and wish "if only... "
How many times can I talk this way
and wish "if only... "
Keep on making the same mistake
keep on aching the same heartbreak
I wish "if only... "
But "if only... "
Is a wish too late

A Weed
Though progress does attempt to prevent
A plant from feeling the warmth of the day,
One small weed crawls through the sidewalk cement,
Forking between two slabs of my pathway.
I pass it, startled by the protrusion,
Impressed that it had learned how to survive.
It seems to thrive despite its seclusion—
Despite all the pollutions that deprive
It. Secondhand water quenches its thirst.
Garbage cloisters in the cracks that surround
It. Yet, the weed does not appear coerced
By the filth that litters the paltry ground.
Somewhere beside the congested gridlock
Of traffic, this plant stands—in the sidewalk.
I stare at the weed for a moment to
Wonder why no one had plucked it before.
It was not something I had sought to do,
But I pondered about what it lived for—
Why it challenged the street with sturdy roots
Or fought industry with a stable stem.
What made its will thoroughly absolute,
Woven to the Earth by a steady hem?
I wanted to hold the plant in my hand,
To cradle its would-be wilting branches—
To be able to truly understand
What the purpose of its burdened life is.
I would take that from the weed so I know
That there is reason left for me to grow.
I resisted the urge to tear the weed
From the ground, dirt shaking as it ascends.
Stealing its life would not provide my need
To discover my answer. I pretend
To break its being from the nature
That has nurtured it, although hostile,
In the hope that I could maybe capture
Its source vitality after a while.
Then I relax, leaving it all alone,
To fend for itself against the climates
And social structures of steel and of stone—
A world possessed by the inanimate.
I walk away and once again it went.
One small weed crawls through the sidewalk cement.

Your Move
Written by terry shaddick and steve kipner, 1983
Found on your move and the very best of america.
I don't understand it 'cause you won't say yes
But you don't say no
Sayin' no we shouldn't you keep holdin' out
But you don't let go
I'm givin' up on trying
To sell you things that you ain't buying
It's your move (your move)
I played all of mine
Time (ah) is running out
Make your move (your move)
Or we can't go on
Till (ah) you understand
It's all in your hands
It's your move
You're giving me the business with that old come on
But you don't come across
You get me so excited don't you know you're such a tease
When i think you're gettin' hot, you're not
(oo) so what's the problem, what's wrong
This kiss and miss you know it can't go on
It's your move (your move)
I played all of mine
Time (ah) is running out
Make your move (your move)
Or we can't go on
Till (ah) you understand
It's all in your hands
It's your move
(know it can't go on) go on
I'm givin' up on trying now it's (your move)
Girl, if you ain't buyin' now it's (your move)
I gave it all i got now it's (your move)
I thought you were hot but you're not so it's (your move, your move, your move)
It's your move (your move, ah)
I played all of mine
Time is running out
Make your move (ah, oh)
Or we can't go on
Till you understand
It's all in your hands
It's your move
It's your move (your move, ah)
I played all of mine
Time is running out
Make your move (ah, oh)
Or we can't go on
Till you understand
It's all in your hands
It's your move
It's your move (your move, ah)
I played all of mine
Time is running out
Make your move (your move, ah)
Or we can't go on
Till you understand
It's all in your hands
It's your move ...

Standing There
STANDING THERE
Have you ever been strong
Have you ever known when it's time to walk away
Just walk away, yeah
Well i couldnt wait to see you
I was listening by the phone there
When you called
When you called and said what you said
All this time
All this time with the fighting and screaming
It's breaking me it's taken it's toll on me
And its like where standing there
Hand in hand
Just waiting for the ground to give way
Waiting for the right words to say
So take your chance
And don't hold back
Cause time is all we've got around here
Time for me to wake up and see you standing there
You're beautiful just standing there
Have you ever crossed the line
Cause theres nothing I wouldn't do for love
For this kind of love yeah
I'm trying to reach out
Trying to make you make you understand it
Understand the things that I'd like between you and me cause
All this time
All this time with the fighting and screaming
It's breaking me it's taken it's toll on me
And its like where standing there
Hand in hand
Just waiting for the ground to give way
Waiting for the right words to say
So take your chance
And don't hold back
Cause time is all we've got around here
Time for me to wake up and see you standing there
You're beautiful just standing there

It Will Rain
Something that you must know

Theres something that you must know
(Ive been waiting on you)
Its something that you must know
(come on in)
Its something that you must know
(sit for awhile)
There is something that you must know
(can I talk to you)
There is something that you must know
(say whats on my mind)
Here is something that you must know
(oh, boy)
Ima tell it(3x)
(listen to me)
Something in my soul aint right
I cant sleep at night
Wondering when the change gone come
Im feeling that Im not the only one
Tell me when I turned you off
Doctor say its not my fault
All the neighbors stop and stare
The pastor says to stay in prayer
Chorus:
It will rain
Therell pain
Troubles will come
Understand
Count it on joy
The morning will come
Sun will shine
Keep your head high
Cant believe the way you talk
Seems you wanna call it off
Friends see you treating me like dirt
What happen to better or for worst
I need answers (can you tell me)
Too much pressure (too too much to bare)
I dont understand you (oh,oh)
Too many issues (said it will)
Chorus.
Oh, I tried (tried to leave you)
But oh I (boy I love you)
I cant let go( seems I cant let go)
Oh, I dont ever wanna lose my baby
But this pain just drives me crazy
Feels like Im going insane
But I gotta be strong

Understanding your not here
I continue to miss you. I try making my self believe and understand you have made it to a better place but it's not working. All these questions pop up with no answers. Which leave me in doubt and soon I havent figured anything out. I am back where I started, not being able to move at least one step foward. How hard is it to understand your not here anymore. How hard is to understand your smiles, your voice, your love has vanished. How hard is it to keep living, knowing everyday i wake up, you will not be there. How hard is it to understand My graduation, children, and home will not share a moment with you. How hard is it to get over you!
