With a Toiling Done
I have been writing for so long,
The act of it is not premeditated.
It is who I am.
Something I do I understand.
And it is a gift I am grateful,
To have and be blessed with.
Some assume what I do is easy,
Because I express such love for it.
But if I had ever felt it easy...
I would find it not a challenge.
Like many who sit,
Wishing for assistance...
To confront their challenges,
They find themselves faced with.
Misunderstanding that it is 'love'...
That benefits with a toiling done of it.

Young Boy
Hes just a young boy looking for a way to find love
It isnt easy, nothing you can say will help him, find love
Hes got to do it for himself
And it can take so long
Hes just a young boy looking for a way to find love.
He doesnt need another helping hand from someone
But dont you think he doesnt understand what he wants, someone
Though independence means a lot
Hes still got to be strong
Hes just a young boy looking for a way to find love.
Find love, a perfect combination.
Find love, whatever you do.
Find love, a cause for celebration
And it might come looking
Come looking for you.
Find love, in any situation
Find love, whatever you do
Find love, a cause for celebration
Then it might come looking
Come looking for you
Hes just a young boy looking for a way to find love
It isnt easy, nothing you can say will help him, find love
Hes got to do it for himself
And it can take so long
Hes just a young boy looking for a way to find love
Find love, a time for meditation
Find love, a source of inspiration
Find love, instead of confrontation
Find love
And love will come looking for you

Easy For Me To Say
easy for me to say (clint black/hayden nicholas)
Some won't find the words
More won't find a way
Never too often heard
You know it's easy for me to say
The thing you need to hear
Way more than every day
Can never be too clear
You know it's easy for me to say
Chorus
I love you
Quiet and loud
Alone in a crowd
I love you
In a thousand little ways
I'm learning to say
And i learn something new every day
I love you
It's easy for me to say
It always sounds the same
Music to my ears
Leaves nothing to explain
You know it's easy for me to hear
The phrase that we all know
Nothing it can't outweigh
Take it wherever we go
You know it's easy for me to say
Repeat chorus
Bridge
I love you
No poet ever found a better way
You know it's easy for me to say
I love you
I'll try to say it more every day
You know it's easy for me to say

Something Easy to Do
I am told,
Since I enjoy writing...
I must find it easy to do!
First of all...
If someone finds something easy to do.
And they brag about it,
Not because what is done is 'liked'.
It is done because they find it easy.
Nothing is easy about writing.
In fact,
Those creative things I enjoy...
I don't find easy at all!
There are too many critiques involved.
Folks constantly expressing their judgements.
And then there are those who have jobs and drink coffee,
All day long to tell someone like me,
I should get a real job!
I was told that one time,
By someone taking a two hour lunch break!
And if it takes me two days to a month,
To complete a task...
I don't take breaks until that task is done.
I can't think of one creative person,
Associated with the economic collapse.
No one I know with discipline...
Has time to feed a greed.
And ultimately,
Those of creative minds will have to mend this mess!

You Make It Easy
Never been here - How about you ? "
You smile at my answer,
You've given me the chance,
To be held and understood.
You leave me laughing without crying,
There's no use denying,
For many times I've tried,
Love has never felt as good.
Be it downtown or way up in the air,
When your heart's pounding,
You know that I'm aware.
You make it easy to watch the world with love,
You make it easy to let the past be done,
You make it easy.
How'd you do it ? How'd you find me ?
How did I find you ?
How can this be true ?
To be held and understood.
Keep it coming - no one's running
The lesson I'm learning
'Cause blessings are deserved
By the trust that always could
Be it downtown or way up in the air,
When your heart's pounding,
You know that I'm aware.
You make it easy to watch the world with love,
You make it easy to let the past be done,
You make it easy.
You make it easy to watch the world with love,
You make it easy to let the past be done,
You make it easy.

Blessed
Tonight my life is moving fast
I sit and watch the demons pass
A world I know but never seen
A fear that ripped the colour from me
I lit a candle for the dead
Saw the light around your head
Walked where angels never go
Saw them shining from below
Its easy when youre blessed
With money, love and sex
Youre not like all the rest
Its easy when youre blessed
And did your mother lie to you?
You got God and death confused
I cant blame it on your soul
There was nowhere else it could go
Its easy when youre blessed
With money, love and sex
Youre not like all the rest
Its easy when youre blessed
Its easy when youre blessed

Easy Rider
Pop/jones
In the alley where have I grown
Hot night sweats our clothes
My hell is crackin fire
Thats what you inspire
Cruel highway entrance signs
People driving to their lives
Looks like a giant stream
But its just a dream
Easy rider, easy rider
Easy rider, easy rider
Broken people all around
Old guarantees that pull you down
You need a way out, you need a ride
Cause where you are is suicide
Easy rider, easy rider
Easy rider, easy rider
Oh I see the sacred dreams
And if Im no _? _
Ill feel real _? _
Tearing out my hair
I see fertility
In pretty girls I meet
I love my friend
Give me hands _? _
Highway in the sun
We listen to the engines run
I wanna fine myself in you
You wanna find yourself, too
Easy rider, easy rider
Easy rider, easy rider
Easy rider, easy rider
Easy rider, easy rider

You Cant Hurry Love
You cant hurry love
I need love, love to ease my
Mind
I need to find, find someone to
Call mine
But mama said you cant hurry
Love
No, youll just have to
Wait
She said love dont come easy
Its a game of give and take
I cant hurry love, no, youll
Just have to wait
Just trust, give it time
No matter how long it takes
How many heartaches must i
Stand
Before I find the love to let
Me live again
Right now the only thing that keeps
Me hanging on
When I feel my strength, yeah its
Almost gone
I remember mama said
You cant hurry love
No youll just have to wait
She said love dont come easy
Its a game of give and take
How long must I wait, how much more
Must I take
Before lonliness, will cause my
Heart, heart to break?
No, I cant bear to lve my
Life alone
I grow impatient for a love to
Call my own
But when I feel that i, i
Cant go on
These precious words keep me
Hangin on
I remember mama sayin you cant
Hurry love
No, youll just have to
Wait
She said love dont come easy
Its a game of give and take
I cant hurry love
No, youll just have to
Wait
She said trust, give it
Time
No matter how long it takes,
Gotta wait!
No love, love dont come
Easy
But I keep on waiting
Anticipating for that soft
Voice
To talk to me at night
For some tender arms to hold me
Tight
I keep waiting, I keep on
Waiting
But it aint easy (it aint
Easy)
No, you know it aint easy
When mama said
You cant hurry love
No, youll just have to
Wait
She said, trust give it time, no
Matter how long it takes
She said love dont come easy its a
Game of give and take

Reason To Believe

If I listened long enough to you
Id find a way to believe that its all true
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried
Still I look to find a reason to believe
Someone like you makes it hard to live without
Somebody else
Someone like you makes it easy to give
Never think about myself
If I gave you time to change my mind
Id find a way just to leave the past behind

Easy, Come On
Everybody called the lady easy
For the way the lady was to please
Everybody told her she was crazy
Lovin all that love away for free
People hate to see you make it easy
Theyll never understand
Some take life for granted
cause it seems to take so long
Easy takes it any way she can
Chorus:
Easy, come on, take it easy
Come on, here we go again
Let it go as easy as you can
Its the sweetest and the saddest place
A bodys ever been
Feelin easy come and go again
Instrumental break, and in the background:
.... easy
.... to please
.... she was crazy
.... and free
So lets take our time and make it easy
Bring that bottle from the shelf
Everybodys laughin when theres money, love and friends
When theyre gone the jokes are on yourself
Chorus:
Easy, come on, take it easy
Come on, here we go again
Let her down as easy as you can
Its the sweetest and the saddest place
A bodys ever been
Feelin easy come and go again
Chorus:
Easy, come on, take it easy
Come on, here we go again
Bring us down a bottle from the shelf
cause its easy come to anyone with money, love and friends
When theyre gone the jokes are on yourself

I Dont Fall In Love So Easy
(written by rodney crowell)
I dont fall in love so easy
I dont even know how it feels
I dont fall in love so easy
I dont even know if its real
Too strong dont mean its for long
Too deep dont mean its for keeps
Fast doesnt last
I dont fall in love so easy
But Im fallin in love with you
I dont give my heart to just anyone
I dont even know how to do it
I dont give my hand to just any man
I dont wanna put myself through it
I dont want what I dont want
I cant feel what I dont feel
Its sad but its true
I dont fall in love so easy
But Im fallin in love with you
I used to pray someday to change
But I found new ways to stay the same
Until you came
I dont fall in love so easy
I dont even know where to start
I dont fall in love so easy
I dont understand my own heart
Its so hard to drop my guard
I dont know how to just let go
But what else can I do
I dont fall in love so easy
But Im fallin in love with you
Im fallin in love with you
Yes, Im fallin in love with you

Writing Is Like A Diet
It is not easy to write.
Even if one likes it...
Writing is like a challenge.
An obstacle to face.
And when confronted,
To make use of it...
A discipline applied,
Is what it takes!
It is not easy to write.
Even if one likes it.
Those who do may not sleep,
At night.
Or discover they have lost an appetite.
Writing is like a diet.
And accepting it becomes a way of life.
Those who ask how writing is done...
Usually have no idea,
Of what they must overcome.
Some believe writing is nothing but fun.
But those committed...
Know writing is more like a spouse,
That can be quiet as a mouse.
Then at other times a shouting occurs...
Heard from the inside,
With a wish to come out!
Writing is like a diet.
And accepting it becomes a way of life.
It is not easy to write.
Even if one likes it!
Writing is like a challenge.
An obstacle to face.
And when confronted,
To make use of it...
A discipline applied,
Is what it takes!

I've Been Wondering Where You Were
I took the long way home,
To know what I had.
To know what in me wished,
And
To know what wished was missing.
I took the long way home.
I took the long way home,
To know what made me glad.
And,
That I felt so sad
Without happiness had.
I took the long way home.
Struggling what love to me had meant.
Inside I would admit it.
But outside it wouldn't show
What inside I really needed,
And know I craved it so.
And struggling what love to me had meant,
To be
Wasn't for me easy,
Yet
I wanted my need pleased.
Perhaps in me,
Too selfishly.
And
I took long way home,
To know what I had.
To know what in me wished,
And
To know what wished was missing.
I took the long way home.
And struggling what love to me had meant,
To be
Wasn't for me easy,
Yet
I wanted my need pleased and met.
Regretfully I almost left
What for me was always best.
And
Finally I see,
This love for me
Is you!
As it was and meant to be!
And I'll never leave,
You alone
To find love that I've known,
With you
Again!
I took the long way home.
'I've been wondering where you were.
Hoping you would find
What in my mind I knew.
And now you know this too.
Welcome you I do
Back home again! '

Take It Easy
Well Im a-running down the road trying to loosen my load
Ive got seven women on my mind
Four that want to own me, two that want to stone me
One says shes a friend of mine
Take it easy, take it easy
Dont let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy
Lighten up while you still can
Dont even try to understand
Just find a place to make your stand and take it easy
Well Im a-standin on the corner in winslow, arizona
With such a fine sight to see
Its a girl, my lord, in a flatbed ford
Slowin down to take a look at me
Come on baby, dont say maybe
Ive got to know if your sweet love is gonna save me
We may lose and we may win
But we will never be here again
Open up Im climbin in to take it easy
Well Im a-running down the road trying to loosen my load
Got a world of trouble on my mind
Lookin for a lover who wont blow my cover
Shes just a little hard to find
Take it easy, take it easy
Dont let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy
Come on baby, dont say maybe
Ive got to know if your sweet love is gonna save me
You know we got it easy
We oughta take it easy

Never Let
This silent night makes me want to cry. The loneliness is so much that I really do not know how to express this feeling? Try I do to find an outlet to my feelings but the exact way I do not know? So lonely and so lost I have become, no easy way is present. Nothing was supposed to ever be easy since life is actually about finding the true purpose. Love can always help if love of the right person is present in life. Never let love slip through since love of that person will never ever come back.

Back Where You Belong
I heard you're askin how I'm feelin
I guess I'll play it day by day
I'm still around now my heart is healin
But something's never gonna change
Cause now I know love ain't easy to find
I let you go, now I'm changing my mind
I know that love, it don't come easy
Took so long, it's been hard to find
And so, love, you must believe me
Ain't gonna let it slip away
I know I was wrong
I want you back where you belong
Want you back where you belong
Back where you belong
I've played around now
I've done some dealin
I found that love should be with you
And so you're gone now
My head is reelin'
Don't wanna be with someone new
And so I go with a feelin inside
Because I know what I'm leavin behind
I know that love, it don't come easy
It took so long it's been hard to find
And so, love, you must believe me
Ain't gonna let it slip away
I know I was wrong
I want you back where you belong
Want you back where you belong
Back where you belong
I guess in time
I'd stop and think it over
Everything that we've been through
This heart of mine may never find another
Who loves me just the way you do
I heard you're askin how I'm feelin
I guess I'll play it day by day
I'm still around now my heart is healin'
But something's never gonna change
Cause now I know love ain't easy to find
I let you go, now I'm changin' my mind

Remembered Love
My wishing to stop the pain of remembered love,
Isn't easy.
The more I think of love,
And the coming with it those moments of bliss.
My wishing to stop agonizing over what I miss,
Is pointless.
My wishing to stop the pain of remembered love,
Isn't easy.
Nor is the expense of pretending,
I knew no love for me existed.
My heart knows how ridiculous that is.
And so are my foolish attempts to forget.
I've loved.
And knowing that I am capable of doing it again,
Is when I am wishing not to remember it.
With a forgetting that brings me back to relive,
I can't get over that keeps me reminded.
Of what it is within me I wish.
