For Annie (Only Teasing)

Now the time has come and gone for us to say goodbye
I know I'll miss you, but I don't know why
You fill my thoughts most all the time.
Yet I know I've never ever fallen this hard
I'd like to change, but the path is barred
Lost in confusion all because of you
My friends tell me that I'm a fool
That I never really should have fallen for you
Friends shouldn't say goodbye they should only go away
I know I'll miss you but there's nothing more to say
I only wish that you would stay

Explain It To Me

Explain it to me
She did nothing wrong
Eplain it to me
It seems unreal she's gone
It's been some years I know
And still I cannot find
The peace to let her go
I'm grieving all the time
Explain it to me
I keep hoping there's some purpose
That I don't understand
Some higher good that's served
Some holy mighty plan
Explain it to me
Not a day goes by
She doesn't cross my mind
Things still left undone
But now we're out of time
Explain it to me
I can no longer pray
It seems to do no good
I look in vain for answers
I'd find them if I could
Explain it to me

I Will Always
03:07
|
|||
The simple truth lies beyond
These well constructed walls
These barriers hide the me inside
Waiting for a fall
And I will hope and I will run
And I will see my way through
And I will always love you
My feelings remain complex
And they've never gone away
Years have passed -
The pain holds fast
As the opportunity fades

Inventory
02:21
|
|||
I'm taking inventory
I'm taking stock
Of all the things
That you have got
Because you know it all
Should be mine some day
Writing it down
Taking photographs too
Put it on the ledger
To me from you
I just want to let it be known
I've staked my claim
When you've left this mortla coil
I'm there with my trailer to get my spoils
Load it up and away I go!
Look at me go!
Don't ask me why
You'll never understand
To show I love you
I need everything, man
Because as far as I can see
This is all about me!

Misty Winter's Afternoon
02:48

Misty winter's afternoon
Doing what I want to do
Staring out through my window
Seeing things I've never noticed
Cold, gray, and lonely sky
Bothers everyone but I
The bare trees hold my fascination
As wild runs my imagination
It may be cold but I don't mind
As I leave all my troubles behind.

I Think You're Insane
03:28
|
|||
Monkey see...monkey do
And still I wonder what ever happened to you
You put your brain on vacation
Get caught up in all the fear
And the over stimulation
And I know it may be just a phase
But I think your'e insane
And I think you know you are too
You know, I think you know
Your hate knows no bounds
And yet you justify it with patriotic sounds
You pray to God, to the Constitution
Thinking the answer lies in some sort of violent solution
You worship two gods
And they both are often at odds
You take the worst from each diety
And claim oppression and you claim tyranny

All the Same
04:37
|
|||
I ask how you are
You say that you're doing fine
What can I do?
You say nothing this time
We go on and on but nothing changes
We think time heals, it only re-arranges
'Cause deep in my heart I want to believe you
Something inside me tells me I need you
But all the same, I know that it's over
Somehow I know you won't be denied
Somewhere, somehow you feel justified
But all the same I know that it's over
I fall into the slipstream where I can do no wrong
Still you seem distant, you're just playing along
I try to crash through your facade of ill will
But still I'm unable to fathom you still
I don't know what you want from me
Pulling away makes you think that you're free

Nothing There
03:31
|
|||
It's funny to think how we subtlely change
Until we don't know each other at all
Simple friendships lose their ease
And move in our lives from large to small
You know that once I looked at you and I cared
But now when I see you there's nothing there
So you go your way and I'll go mine
And if someday we should meet
We'll gloss over the things that have been
Stare at the ground and shuffle our feet

Regret
02:16
|
|||
Life can take you unaware
Until you can only stare
Back at the might have beens
I know I'll never understand
Why I lived so long in a life unplanned
Just letting it happen over and over again
Taking stock is hard to do
When the usual is to muddle through
Wasted time and wasted days
Never poking my head above the fray
Some say the end brings only dust
But somehow I have to trust
Add up to more than that
We have our lives here in our hands
We can choose to live or choose to stand
Indifferently - too scared to act

End of the Day
04:52
|
|||
Here we stand at the end of the road
Wondering who is left to carry the load
As we arrive at the end of the day
And there we go trusting only ourselves
Then once again we've gone and put God on our shelf
To leave there when we don't want to play
It's not up to us
To conveniently forget
What we should do
For those we are to love and protect
In every action ask what God wants us to do
And in every deed think of a world bigger than you
And you will see a life beyond your walls.

Every morning when I see your face
I feel I'm in a world of abiding grace
You keep me sane even though I'm crazy
You put up with so much I know it's true
I'd kill me if I were you
But I'm glad you won't and I'm glad you love me
And you know I love you too
But sometimes I don't say the things you want me to
So I sing these lines to memorialize
Just how much I need you in my life
And how much you make my life worth living
As men we don't say much I'm sure you know
I like to sit back and just go with the flow
And I know that sometimes I need forgiving
