Secret Places...Rainbows
The arch of secret places
Where dreamers go,
Hands and hearts open,
In search of love's promises.

Secret Love
Once I had a secret love
That lived within the heart of me
All too soon my secret love
Became impatient to be free
So I told a friendly star
The way that dreamers often do
Just how wonderful you are
And why Im so in love with you
Now I shout it from the highest hill
I even told you the golden dafodill
At least my hearts an open door
And my secret loves no secret anymore
Now I shout it from the highest hill
I even told you the golden dafodill
At least my hearts an open door
And my secret loves no secret
My secret loves no secret
My secret loves no secret anymore

Jenny I will never forget you
When it comes to having friends
There's quite a few about
But JENNY you're the very best
Of that I have no doubt
We've been good friends a long time
For nearly 6 years
We've held each other's hands and hearts
Through laughter and through tears
You're very, very precious,
You're solid platinum
In fact you're decked with diamonds
My very special chum
Today's a time to celebrate
And I just want to say
I wish you WERE here beside me
Celebrating this day.

10000 Promises
Once we were lovers, just lovers we were
Oh what a lie
Once we were dreamers, just dreamers we were
Oh, you and i
Now I see youre just somebody who wastes all my time and money
What a lie
You and i
Chorus
What about your
Your 10,000 promises
That you gave to me
Your 10,000 promises
That you promised me
Once I could handle the truth
When the truth was you and i
Time after time all the promises
Turned out to be all lies
Now I see Im just somebody who wasted my time and money
What a lie
You and i
Chorus
You say Ill take you back
But I close the door
cause I dont want 10,000 more
10,000 promises, yeah
10,000 promises you gave to me
Chorus(x2)
Once we were lovers just lovers we were
Oh you and i
What a lie

Dreamers
To escape reality
dreamers’ dream of places
where only in their mind can go.
Paradises filled with warmth
and all the colours of the rainbow.
Places where peace is held by everyone,
lands where love is stretched out with every hand.
Dreamers go there
when they are tucked up in bed every night
away from a world
where some just cannot forgive
and into a world of live and let live.
Their own personal paradise
where only their mind can go.

Prime Search Locations
'I went in search of a word from God.' Kevin Carney
“A modern trend, the vain search,
age of information, wisdom of the world,
looking in all the wrong places; ”
God is everywhere and within us,
God promised if we look we will find God,
some places are prime search locations,
others seductive trap a denial of God.

Making Love To An Angel(2nd Revision)
A smile so sweet.
The secret places in which we meet.
Your are my true confidant.
We leave a trail of misery.
Screwing you in you back seat.
Nobody can ever know.
Cause you are my little dirty secret.
But still the best when i need it.
Going down, and going to heaven at the same time.
Making love to an angel and you know it.
It feels so damn good.
Who would shy away?
And all I have to say is that guy must be gay.
The taste of your lips, so bitter sweet.
The secret places in which we meet.
Again your on top of me.
Your controlling me and I like it.
Their just no denying it.
Oh baby, you know just what to do.
Holding it all in, and knowing just when to let go.
Making love to an angel and you know it.
It feels so damn good.
I wish it would never end.
Lets give it a go again and again.
Those words coming from you sound so sweet.
The secret places in which we meet.
It's so right.
All day and all night.
The claw marks you leave on my skin, create a burning within.
All I want is more.
We got to have it rough.
Never enough.
Making love to an angel and you know it.
It feels so damn good.
Perfect with every touch, to every desirable shape.
She is a goddess.
Can anyone relate?
Its our everlasting escape.
Oh baby I'm making love to an angel you know it, and you know it.

Every Door We Open
Every door we open
broadens our view of life.
We learn a little more
trouble and strife.
We learn a little more
of how to love and be loved
with every door we open
as we travel though out our life.

Crescent Moon
I looked up at the night sky
to look at the crescent moon.
I saw a shooting star
and I made a wish.
Only the future holds the secret
whether my wish
will ever come true.

Love Need Not Be Permanent
love need not last
otherwise you have been asking for much
love need not be forever
for it is we that love and mortals are we
shall we demand something like love immortal?
love need not make promises
for love is true and true love do not make promises
since promises are made only to be broken
love need not be happiness at all
for love is freedom too
and the quest for happiness has become a prison for most
let love be like a bird
flying free and moving to places it has not been too
relying on instincts and spontaneity
let love be just a moment to moment
a touch of the hand a kiss on the lips a gaze
let love know
that goodbyes are right there at the corner
that forgetting can be just the cure for love's innate pains

The Pain Of Carrying A Basketful Of Guilt
somehow i have not given up the need
for hiding places
my choice of words has always been that of
discrimination
i want to spell things correctly
except that you have the habit of bringing in the wrong word
definitely i still go for secret
gardens and of those caves that appear like waterfalls
i still adore them
for what they are not for all their deceiving appearances
no one is as open as a field of corn now
even the ants have their own secret labyrinths and unusual destinations
to the secret places of the heart you always brag about that
to each her own woman to each his own masculinity
the sharing is but a flash, a flask of feelings discarded like wastes
people meet, make love in the dark, put their clothes own and walk away
it is as simple as that
if you ask for more, the problem of what is right and wrong comes along who shall carry a basketful of guilt for you?
no one, but if you want it, by all means carry it in the parks in the wild
let us see, let us see
how painful can pure be

Hearts Fall
Edwin McCain
Hearts Fall
Pin feathers, dusty old wings
Living all my crazy never-land dreams
And I feel her trying when were apart
And I feel like dying
God dont let me break her heart
God dont let me break her heart
God dont let me break her heart
And the hearts fall in the right places
And the hearts fall in the right places
And how she loves me, I dont understand
And if time wont change me, perhaps she can
And I feel her trying when were apart
And I feel like dying
God dont let me break her heart
God dont let me break her heart
God dont let me break her heart
My selfish anger and I just run away
But a perfect heart always makes me stay
God dont let me break her heart
God dont let me break her heart
God dont let me break her heart
And the hearts fall in the right places
And the hearts fall in the right places
And the hearts fall in the right places
And the hearts fall in the right places
And the hearts fall in the right places
And the hearts fall in the right places

Promises
Remember how it used to be,
Remember how you promised me,
That life would always be good,
You forget the fact you lied to me,
You locked my heart and threw the key,
I'm so misunderstood,
What to say when all the words have gone,
Promises, promises,
What to do when all our thoughts have flown,
Promises, promises,
Remember how I gave my heart,
And all at once we fell apart,
Was I supposed to forgive you,
You forgot the fact you said to me,
That we were for eternity,
You're so easy to see through,
What to say when all the words have gone,
Promises, promises,
What to do when all our thoughts have flown,
Promises, promises,
Remember that I'm over you,
And know that I will make it through,
Hope you never forget it,
The promises you made to me,
Were really lies and fantasy,
Hope you come to regret it,
What to say when all the tears have dried,
Promises, promises,
What to think when all our love has died,
Promises, promises,
The promises we used to keep have gone,
And with them all the words,
That kept us both from seeing what was wrong,
The rest is silent, What to say when all the words have gone,
Promises, promises,
What to do when all our thoughts have flown,
Promises, promises,
What to say when all the tears have dried,
Promises, promises,
What to think when all our love has died,
Promises, promises.

Hard Promises To Keep
(kimmie rhodes)
Im trying to believe in forever
Im trying to believe in the little jewel box life we lead
Babe, I get so close sometimes
But all I really know is
I believe that weve been making hard promises to keep
You want me to believe in forever
Do you know how tight Im holding
Just to keep my grip on yesterday?
Im trying hard to see the pretty pictures that you paint for me
Do you know how tight Im holding to hard promises to keep
Promises are like little diamonds
Promises are like little hearts
We meant to give away
I thought youd want them back someday
Ive kept them for you anyway
But I know when Ive been given hard promises to keep
Promises are like little diamonds
Promises are like little hearts
We meant to give away
I thought youd want them back someday
Ive kept them for you anyway
But I know when Ive been given hard promises to keep
And I know that Ive been given hard promises to keep

For an Otter
Three Years: I am to always be here with you.
Even the days I was not (you were not)
Sufficed by the many hes or shes, lips for kissing
Or maybe, just once, settled for sweetness
Tossed around in my bed, (your bed)
Lead me (perhaps you too) to doors of salvation
But never apart for long to ask of me who I was, and once
Come after I'd gone missing in January, from last January
And was not around to hear you but
You'd remembered to always speak in French to me
So I could always return to remember to say to you
That you were still smiling and even after so long
Strangers melting together in summer's sun goodbye
I wanted for you to stop kissing me
Only to sleep in your hand with mine
To be too wordy, too distant
To argue, To agree on
The brilliance in:
sedation, grinding teeth, tired eyes, jittery knees,
Your songs and such that are not about me, and
Poems I write and read to you of January from last January
so far away is the plane you caught this morning
Too many states away are my hands from your hands
- What if we had not been lovers fighting against love?
I don't want to know
I am to think I would have lost when I did not have to
I am to always be here with you

Unconditionally Open
these hands,
that took yours
and walked away from all
we knew.
these hands,
that laid brick,
cut wood,
plowed gardens,
picked up trash
built fences for the dogs,
held the children
when they were small,
held your hands
at the hospital
stroked your body,
touching forbidden places
with gentleness and
passion
wrote the poetry
hidden in your eyes
these hands,
now old and calloused,
sometimes tremble,
sometimes hard as stone
these hands are open,
without fear or trepidation,
unconditionally open
waiting for yours.

Avenue Of Thought
Every avenue of thought
has to be inspired by something
living or inanimate.
It registers in our brain
as something we like or hate.
We never know what it is
until we confront it in our life
and it inspires us to write.
From rolling stones to breaking bones,
a kiss that promises sweet bliss.
Anything can prompt
that avenue of thought.

When It Bites You
The love bug is a funny creature
with no shape or form,
but you know it
when it bites you
because your head goes in a spin
and leaves you never knowing
where you’ve been.
You go weak at the knees
and are putty in its hands.
There is no prevention
and no way to make a stand.
For when the love bug bites you
it really does it hard
and sometimes leaves a scar.
Invisible to the naked eye,
but you know its there
embossed on your heart.

To A False Friend
Our hands have met, but not our hearts;
Our hands will never meet again.
Friends, if we have ever been,
Friends we cannot now remain:
I only know I loved you once,
I only know I loved in vain;
Our hands have met, but not our hearts;
Our hands will never meet again!
Then farewell to heart and hand!
I would our hands had never met:
Even the outward form of love
Must be resign'd with some regret.
Friends, we still might seem to be,
If I my wrong could e'er forget;
Our hands have join'd but not our hearts:
I would our hands had never met!

Promises
=========================================================================
Cheap perfume and painted faces
Fallin' angels fill the places
Where I go when my troubles pull me down
All the lies I know they'll tell me
For awhile I'll be the biggest man in town
Back at home in bed she's cryin'
For her love for me is dyin'
But she'll pray I make it safely through the night
When the mornin' sun starts showin'
To her bedside I'll be goin'
And she'll hold me while I face the mornin' light
And I'll make promises
Promises to change
I'll make her promises
Swear I'll rearrange
And I'll start givin'
All the love she needs
If only she will stay
Once again she'll reassure me
And I believe her love will cure me
And I'll fall aleep with tears on my face
And I know she's just a woman
And her love can't last forever
And someday soon I know she'll leave without a trace
For broken promises
Will tear her dreams apart
Just token promises
Will someday break her heart
And for the last time
She'll hold me when I cry
And while I'm sleepin'
She'll quietly say goodbye

Quiet Steam
Released as b-side of digging in the dirt single, 1992.
Stand back
Stand back
What are those dogs doing, sniffing at my feet
Theyre onto something, pickin up, pickin up
This heat
This heat
Give me steam
How you feel can make it real
Get a life with this dreamers dream
Oh, give me steam
Real as anything you see
Get a life in this dreamers dream
You know your culture from your trash
You know your plastic from your cash
When I lose sight of the track
You know the way back
But I know you
You know your stripper from your paint
You know your sinner from your saint
Whenever heavens doors are shut
You get them open, but
I know you
Give me steam
And how you feel can make it real
Get a life in this dreamers dream
Oh, give me steam
Real as anything you see
Get a life in this dreamers dream
You know your green from your red
You know the quick from the dead
So much better than the rest
You think youve been blessed
But I know you
You know your ladder from your snake
You know the throttle from the brake
You know your straight line from the curve
Youve got a lot of nerve
But I know you
Give me steam
And how you feel can make it real
Get a life in this dreamers dream
Oh, give me steam
Real as any place youve been
Get a life with this dreamers dream
Oh yeah, I need steam
Feel your steam around me
Turning up the heat
I start to dream aloud
You move my hands and feet
Wont you step into this cloud
Of steam
This steam
Give me steam
How you feel can make it real
Real as anything youve seen
Get a life with this dreamers dream
Give me steam
How you feel can make it so real
Get a life in this dreamers dream
Help me yeah
Comin alive
In your steam
Comin alive
In your steam
Comin alive
