I Am, Just, ... Wondering...
i am wondering if we survive the heat,
if the cold having been neglected, and its fading
of grays, remaining unexplained by the
roughness of those stones,
i am wondering what is this wandering all about,
moving from one mountain to another,
crossing another streams of
thoughts, jumping from one border to another
and marking the seas we left with the
strokes of our fingers
i am wondering what will become of us
stuffed, wooded, anesthetized
skeletal, deprived of our dreams of
skin, and fresh flesh,
i am wondering what becomes of these arms,
unable to hold you once again
like once when the fish inhabit the pond,
when the lotuses bloom and give the colors of
its hollowed flowers to the
moon
i am wondering if wonder still saves us
from this desert of
affections,
i ask a diminishing, i forgive nothingness,
i am scheming a plan for escape
a dignified departure, and you smile, not knowing
what goes really inside this tunnel
pretending still to have light at the end
when there is none
when nothingness is still full of its
uncommitted contents.

Wondering
Orbison/dees
Wondering, wondering, I wonder what to say
Wondering, wondering, I wonder what to do
Will your love be true, or will you run away
When you have been alone, without love, all alone
You wonder what youll feel when new love comes along
Is it really real?
Ah . . aaaah . . aaah,
I wonder.
Wondering, wondering, I wonder all the time
Wondering, wondering, are you really mine?
Will your love be true or will I wonder
Till the end of time?

I'm Wondering
Jimmy was your sweetie pie
Your precious one
And I knew you used to love
The very ground he walked upon
One day, Jim's papa told him
Things were looking down
And they packed up everything
They owned and left this little old town
Each tear I dried for you,
The closer our lives grew,
I fell in love it's true
And you say you love me, too
Well, don't you know I'm wondering
Little girl, I'm wondering
How can I make you love me
A little more than you loved him?
Ooh,Baby I'm wondering
Little girl, I'm wondering
How can I make you love me
A little more than you loved him?
Oh baby
But, baby I'm wondering
Little girl, I'm wondering
How can I make you love me
A little more than you loved him?
Oh baby I'm wondering,
Little girl, I'm wondering
How can I make you love me
A little more than you loved Jim?
The day you see his face again
Or hear his voice
I don't want to be a loser
If you have to make a choice
Like a puppet to a string
To you, girl, I'm attached
And I know I'd be in trouble
If he came and took you back
I feel so insecure
In my mind, I can picture
Losing you for sure
And the pain I can't endure
Oh baby I'm wondering
Little girl, I'm wondering
How can I make you love me
A little more than you loved him?
Oh baby I'm wondering,
Sure enough, I'm wondering
How can I make you love me
A little more than you loved Jim?
Ooh Baby
I can't stop loving you, baby,
I can't stop loving you , no
I can't stop loving you, baby
I feel so insecure
In my mind, I
Can picture
Losing you for sure
And the pain I can't endure
Baby, I'm worried,
Really, really worried
I wanna make you happy
Really truly happy
Oh baby I'm wondering,
Little girl, I'm wondering
How can I make you love me
A little more than you loved him?
Oh baby I'm wondering
Little girl, I'm wondering ...

Waiting For Our Time
Looking up from where I stand
I see the vapor trail
Of a jet plane in the sky
Here the wheel is in my hand
But theres no wind in my sails
And life is drifting by
Still I hold on and wait
I know its not too late
And my breeze will come
Muse you satisfy my soul
Keep me warm while the
Cold world guards the gate
Im searching
Im wondering
Im yearning
Waiting for our time to come
Im searching
Im wondering
Im yearning
Waiting for our time to come
Your love has kept my dream alive
A vision of my life
With you here by my side
Every forward step I take
Every moment Im awake
I feel your love inside
So close I feel it in my bones
I know Im not alone as I climb this wall
But I, sometimes I get so high
I just want to live, love
And taste it all
Im searching
Im wondering
Im yearning
Waiting for our time to come
Im searching
Im wondering
Im yearning
Waiting for our time to come
Here tonight
I lie awake and watch you dream
Under the light of the moon
I wonder just how far weve been
And where well be
When the sun comes up
Will this be our date with destiny
Im searching
Im wondering
Im yearning
Waiting for our time to come
Im searching
Im wondering
Im yearning
Waiting for our time to come
And Im waiting

Stone
Ive this creeping
Suspicion that things here are not as they seem
Reassure me
Why do i feel as if im in too deep
Now Ive been praying
For some way to show them
Im not what they see
Yes, I have done wrong
But what I did i thought needed be done
I swear
Unholy day
If i leave now i might get away
Oh but this weighs on me
As heavy as stone and as blue as i go
I was just wondering if youd come along
To hold up my head when my head wont hold on
Ill do the same if the sames what you want
But if not Ill go
I will go alone
Im a long way
From that fools mistake
And now forever pay
No,run
I will run and Ill be ok
I was just wondering if youd come along
Hold up my head when my head wont hold on
Ill do the same if the sames what u want
But if not Ill go
I will go alone
I go a long way
To bury the past for i dont want to pay
Oh how i wish this
To turn back the clock and do over again
I was just wondering if youd come along
Hold up my head when my head wont hold on
Ill do the same if the sames what you want
But if not Ill go
I will go alone
I need so
To stay in your arms,see u smile,hold u close
And it weighs on me
As heavy as stone and a bone chilling cold
I was just wondering if youd come along
Tell me you will

Could I Be You
Something is wrong with the sum of us
That I cant seem to erase
How can I be the only one
Without a smile on my face
[chorus]
Well now, youre laughing out loud
At just the thought of being alive
And I was wondering
Could I just be you tonight
You show your pain like it really hurts
And I cant even start to feel mine
Well, Im standing in place
With my head first and I shake, I shake
I see your progress stretched out for miles and miles
[chorus]
Youre laughing out loud
At just the thought of being alive, yeah
And I was wondering
Could I just be you tonight
This is the sound that I make
These are the words I chose
Somehow the right thing to say
Just wont come out
Just wont come out
[chorus]
And youre laughing out loud
At the thought of being alive
And I was wondering
Could I just be you tonight
And I was wondering
Could I just be you tonight
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
And I was wondering
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
And I was wondering
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Yeah, and I was wondering
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Heaven Must Be Wondering Where You Are
(L. David Lewis/David Chamberlain)
Some where up there beyond the blue
Surley by now somebody's missin' you
I found the angel they must be lookin' for
Heaven must be wondering where you are
When I look into your eye's
It's so plain to see
Nothin' here on earth describes what you mean to me
Out of this world when I hold you in my arms
Heaven must be wondering where you are
Lucky me to be the one to find
Someone like you this side of paradise
I know how lost I'd be without here sweetheart
Heaven must be wondering where you are
Some where up there beyond the blue
Surley by now somebody's missin' you
I found the angel they must be lookin' for
Heaven must be wondering where you are
I found the angel they must be lookin' for
Heaven must be wondering where you are

Alone with my solitude
I was standing at the edge
Looking at the city lights
Wondering if it would hurt more
To jump or just to live
I felt the cold of the wind
I saw the moon
And I was wondering where you fit in all of this
The truth hit me hard this time
And is still hunting for more
Just to say your name
Is pain
You are just one piece of this wicked puzzle
Called my life
Every day, every night
Just a pain to me
And now I’m standing here
Alone with my solitude
Wondering if I should make the jump

Got You On My Mind
By joe thomas & howard biggs
Ive got you on my mind, Im feeling kind of sad and low.
Got you on my mind, feeling kind of sad and low.
Im wondering where you are, wondering why you had to go.
Tears begin to fall every time I hear your name.
Tears begin to fall every time I hear your name.
But since you went away, nothing seems to be the same.
No matter how I try,
My heart just dont see why
I cant forget you.
If ever it should be
You want to come back to me,
You know Id let you.

Thinking Man's Blues
i was thinking about Jesus
i was thinking about robbing a bank
thinking about the band a playin'
while the Titanic sank
thinking 'bout salvation
thinking about getting free
thinking and a wondering
do you ever think about me?
i was thinking about generations
i was thinking about saving grace
i was thinking about truth and lies
thinking about flesh and lace
thinking about redemption
and rivers running to the sea
thinking and a wondering
do you ever think about me?
i was thinking about the Dharma
'bout Martin Luther King

thinking about the costs of war

Flowers In A Vase
A bunch of flowers
Sat in a vase
Colourful and lonely
A mind looks at them
Wondering
What is it they have to say
Are they a thank you
Or a gift of love
Are they an apology
Or given in remorse
Perhaps they are for nothing
Given to bring a smile
The mind looks on
Wondering for a while
The flowers sit in their vase
Unmoved by thought
Or the reason given to them
A little water at their base
To keep them fresh for a while
They are the end of the day
Just flowers in a vase

Just Another Empty Memory
Days we woke up together
and I held onto your hand
two lovers lying in the warm summer sand
with the smell of a passing rain in the air
thinking about the times of forever
that we would always share
And all those nights we sat outside
by the glimmering of a open fire
and would talk about our plan
in you I would always confide
my every thought of my only desire
But now all I seem to see
is just another empty memory
of everything that use to be
wondering about what we have become
A smile upon your face
a soul never lost out of place
shining like the morning sun
with moonbeams in your long brown hair
you would walk in harmony
always feeling free
was a time you saw everything in me
But now all you seem to see
is just another empty memory
of everything that use to be
wondering about what we have become
So you hide behind your tears
trying to forget those lonely years
lost inside your doubt and fears
watching it all come undone
while the time only slowly disappears
Still we both keep moving on
though our dreams are all gone
like words from some forgotten song
knowing beside each other
is where we both belong
But now all we seem to see
just another empty memory
of everything that use to be
wondering about what we have become

Conversing With God
God, did you know
the way I'd turn out?
Wondering and wondering
with so much doubt?
I guess you knew
and you're smiling now.
looking to see
if I can figure out how
little old me
can make a difference.
God, did you know
what I'd go through
working my way
back to you?
Questioning, searching
all my days,
wondering if you're the sunshine
and its intense rays?
So here I sit
little old me
hopeful and letting in
uncertainty.
God, do you know
all about me?
All those prayers I send you
aren't about me.
They're all for others,
all the sufferers
that are my brothers.
Now I'm getting older
and before I go.
if you remember me
please let me know.

Every Now & Then
Jon lind & brock walsh
I think that the worst is through
Im almost over you
I guess it was just a matter of time
Ive started going out
How long can anybody go without
Before you start goin out of your mind
Even so, I confess
There are times when my heart rules over my head
(chorus)
Every now and then
I find myself wondering about you baby
Seems now and again
I cant escape the thought of all that
Might have been
Every now and then
Mornings the hardest time
I wake up dreamin bout you and i
Some days I cant remember them all
Evenings are painfull still
I cant help wondering if they always
Will be
I cant help noticing this emptiness-
Baby
I dont cry, every night
Just the ones when I feel like I feel tonight
(chorus)
Every now and then
I find myself wondering about you baby
Seems now and again
I cant escape the thought of all that
Might have been
Every now and then
(bridge)
When Im alone anytime I hear music play
When I reach, reach for the phone
Why does everything good
Make me think of you baby
(chorus)
Every now and then
I find myself wondering about you baby
Seems now and again
I cant escape the thought of all that
Might have been
Every now and then

Who Could Be Lovin You Other Than Me
(willie hutchinson)
Though you hold me the same old way
Your tenderness, oh, is fading fast
And i keep waiting, anticipating
Which moment you will choose to be our last
And i'll be left with nothing but the thought of you, oh
So clearly, i can see that day coming
And when you're resting in the arms of someone new
And i'll be running around and searching for you
Wondering where can you be?
Who could be loving you other than me?, baby, baby, baby
Where can you be?
Who could be loving you other than me?
You used to tell me, very, very much how much you loved me
And i could always depend on you
You needed a friend so i took you in
But i get the feelin' now that, darling, we're through
Now, i wish there was something i could say or try to do
But i'm afraid it would only make matters worse
I can feel your love fading for me
'cause i know so well how it used to be
And i'm wondering where can you be?
Who could be loving you other than me?
Oh, darling, where can you be?
Who could be loving you other than me?
Now, i can give up material things
'cause they're not a necessity to me
But when it comes to givin' up the only love
I've ever known
I just don't think my heart would agree
Tell me, where can you be?
Who could be loving you other than me?
Listen baby, where can you be?
Who could be loving you other than me?
Darling, darling
Where can you be?
Who could be loving you better and sweeter than me?
Oh, where can you be?
Who could be loving you?
Oh, baby

On To of the Game
Wondering where I been at, honest it don't even matter
Lately I feel troubled like I'm Marshal Matters
Life in the hood aint not joke, it will have you chock
Looking for the antidote to cure the bad artichoke
That's all the ghetto is just some bad veggies mix
Having you up chuck it like one just can't fix
Got to move up and move out if ya want to proceed
Live above the primal urge to fall down to your knees
Seek self improvement why do you think I'm a poet
Anyone can be what they want to, and they don't even know it
So I am going to take the time out to say I'm on top of the game
Murasaki Kitsune bursting up and making a name for my self
Wondering where I been, that good to know
Good to see that this is where I got to go
Wondering where I am, well that good to hear
Just know I'm no longer in nowhere
So you're wondering all about me and my shame
No need to just know I'm on top of the game

wondering where i've been and what i've done
wondering where i'll go and where i'll run
hide myself away from everyone
chewing gum

to count the silver bullet of your misty

innocence lost in electric smiles
perfectly cast in desperate clouds ['colds']

Bessie Smith
Bessie was more than a friend of mine
We shared the good times and the bad
Well many years has since passed me by
I still recall the best thing I ever had
Now I'm going down the road to see Bessie
Oh see her soon
I'm just going down the road to see Bessie Smith
When I get there I wondering what she'll do
Now all the crazy things I had to try
Well I tried them all and then some
But if you're lucky one day you will find out
Where it is that you're really coming from
Now I'm going down the road to see Bessie
Oh see her soon
I'm just going down the road to see Bessie Smith
When I get there I wondering what she'll do
Now in my day I've made some foolish moves
But back then I didn't worry about a thing
Now and again I still wonder to myself
Was it the sweet love or the way that she could sing
I'm just going down the road to see Bessie Smith
When I get there I wondering what she'll do
I'm just going down the road to see Bessie Smith
When I get there I wondering what she'll do
