Moon Face

The bells rang out
That cold morning of doubt
Then I understood what I craved
It has always been your beautiful moon face

You were someone unknown
Moved here from your home
And it was all I could do not to stare
And imagine my future with you somewhere

So here we are
Ten days apart
And there is nothing for it
But I won't quit until I get it

Your words were calm
Spoken at the break of dawn
With all our needs broken
Still I have your words spoken

Your image could be clearer
Our spirits wanting to avoid danger
And I thought ten days wouldn't hurt a lot
I guess not

Don't give it up
Its for us to bite the lip and shut up
To grab hold and wait
For this life that we anticipate

Thin As Smoke

What will she do when it all comes undone?
What secrets has she shared with the Arizona sun?
The one who has her in this spell
Never paid the cost once she fell

Now she lives like a hermit in her head
And every emotion she wishes it dead
She had a love unlike any other
But when night comes she stirs alone under the covers

Do you feel you'll ever get it
Do you ever feel like its not worth it
Do you ever feel anything anymore...

So now when she's at work she'll joke
And pretend that her life isn't as thin as smoke
And her radio is the only thing that understands her
If only it could make everything all better

All the strange faces she can't stand
If only one would grab her and make him her man
She is done dreaming of it
And wants the man with whom she can grow old with

Now all she sees are dark grey clouds
In the distance growing closer with every hour
She asks God "what went wrong?"
Not caring she turns her back and moves on

Do you feel you'll ever get it
Do you ever feel like its not worth it
Do you ever feel anything anymore...

All Over You

Your stories are all over you
And in the morning I'll call you
Can you not find the simple clue
With your eyes painted all so natural blue

And some day my pain will rock you
So harness your blame and rock thru
Solace was my gain when I sought you
So in the morning I'll call you

Oh what might have been lost
So don't bother me please
Please don't bother me

Fathom

I cannot fathom
The resistance given
Once these words are spoken
And I cannot picture
The emotion given
Emotion you've shared with him

If only you could see me
I feel completely incomplete
I become undone
And hide within the drugs

You're so blind
You can't save me this time
Oh this comes from deep inside
I feel so powerless tonight

I wish you could see
This stranger they call Robbie
Oh look what you've done to me
You have always had perfect timing

Does he call you "Love"
Does he know what you call home
I would give my hands
To feel your love, to be your man

Just keep my heart where the sun still glows
Keep my memory clean as snow
Hold your head high
As you enter the clubs at night
Maybe no one will ever know

What have you done to me
Look how you've killed everything you mean to me

Falling

I am not sure what she said
I loved how her silky words flowed
How her face filled the corners of my head
And I am sure my English she didn't know

We walked the hot market streets
Simply smiling and falling
In love with the simple gestures of meaning
It is love when our eyes meet

With a simple touch
I let her know
I was falling quick
And in that second I tasted her kiss

The day began to fade
Under that bruised setting sun
She walked to the bus
And she left me where it all had begun

Though I returned
To that dirty market street
I failed to see; I failed to meet
The girl I couldn't understand
I hope she knows just how much she meant to me

Off London Road

I became lost in your eyes from across the Pub
This Yank looking for a conversation to start up
With my courage used up I turned to go
Silently wandering the snow in Glasgow

The sound of your keys stopped me
Under the street light you looked so lovely
My foreign mind stumbled over the words
"Names are worthless; can I spend my time with yours?"

All I have left of that night
Are silent clips of your smile in my mind
I stole a kiss near Glasgow Green
Then decided to tell you I was leaving

Off London Road you gave me your name
And I said it aloud to myself again and again
"I shall always hate the Atlantic now"
All I could manage was"I know"

So I boarded my plane
With this picture of us and her name
I thought of us on your sofa
"I need you so much closer"

The clouds opened up
And now I am home
Thinking of what happened off London Road
And a whisper softly spoken by her
"I need you so much closer"

Jenny Lake

I called late
You were with him
"We can't talk about it now."
So one last word, then I'll go
Can we pretend it was something so much more?

I spent two weeks at Jenny Lake
With the summer sun pouring down my face
You were the girl that meant the world to me
She was beautiful
And she meant the world to me

So one last kiss before you go
Before his car door shuts behind the world I know
This was, to me, more than words
Your light brown hair against my lips
Its all over now and I'd better get used to it

A summer love
She was so beautiful
But I didn't mean a thing to her

Lightness

There's a tear in the fabric of your favorite dress
And i'm sneaking glances.
Looking for the patterns in static
They start to make sense the longer i'm at it.

Your heart is a river that flows from your chest
Through every organ
Your brain is the dam
And i am the fish who can't reach the cord.

Oh, instincts are misleading
You shouldn't think what you're feeling
They don't tell you what you know you should want.

GTNP

Do you remember the GTNP?
And feeling alone in this human sea?
I don't know about you
But I swear on my name
That I was drowning

We would brave those mountain passes
Avoiding seductive glances
Hiding how our bodies quaked

I love your light eyes
And all their flirtations
Then you said all you would say
When you said goodbye

Oh I swore it there
In the midst of frost and mountain air
You gave at last
"Were far too young; you take it too fast"

Do you remember the GTNP?
And feeling alone in this human sea?
I don't know about you
But I swear on my name
That I am drowning

Only Take Once

Damn, you are a drug
One that can't be taken once
One that can only be seen
One that hooked me

Now these cold wakes
Make me a player in your game
To take it slow
Is to all but let go
I've given into my fate

I seek in vain
Feeling my pulse begin to strain
Your glance eases the pain
I am yours

I wake to the thought of you
The image tares me in two
I'm on fire
Addicted, seeking your higher

Now these cold wakes
Make me a player in your game
To take it slow
Is to all but let go
I've given into my fate

The Smallest Kiss

If your memories were paper
I would have worn them out by now
Running through my mind
You twirling in that gown

If you smile were a passing cloud
It would would rain liquid sun
And I would love it
I would dance in the mud

Its a curious thing how we felt
How we both carry the stars
On our hands rests Orion's belt
And nothing makes sense without the two of us

I know how you feel
Crash down this furry red
Crash down your heart and head

The smallest kiss left this story
The smallest kiss
And now we stand without a story
We stand with no glory

I can see how this story fell
I can see it all now
Fate, we can hide
And time can stand aside

The smallest kiss is how we fell
The smallest kiss

It Would Be The First Time

Good times for a change
See, the luck Ive had
Can make a good man
Turn bad

So please
Let me
Let me get what I want
This time

Haven't had a dream in a long time
See, the life Ive had
Can make a good man bad
So for once in my life
Let me get what I want

Lord knows, it would be the first time

I'll Be Your Pride

I roll the window down
And then begin to breathe in
The darkest country road
And the strong scent of evergreen
From the passenger seat as you are driving me home

Then looking upwards
I strain my eyes and try
To tell the difference between shooting stars and satellites
From the passenger seat as you are driving me home

"do they collide?"
I ask and you smile
With my feet on the dash
The world doesn't matter

When you feel embarrassed then I'll be your pride
When you need directions then I'll be the guide
For all time

A Reason to Stay

Oh when i see you
I really see you upside down
But my brain, it knows better
It picks you up and turns you around
Turns you around

If you feel discouraged
If there's a lack of color here
Please don't worry lover
It's really bursting at the seems
Absorbing every beam
The spectrum's a thru z

This is fact not fiction
For the first time in years
And all the girls in every girlie magazine
Can't make me feel any less alone
I'm reaching for the phone

To call to say its me and on your machine
I slur a plea for you to come home
But i know it's too late
I should have given you a reason to stay
Given you a reason to stay

This is fact not fiction
For the first time in years

I Can Remember December

I remember it well
The first time that I saw
Your head around the door
'Cause mine stopped working

I remember it well
There was wet in your hair
I was standing in the stairs
And time stopped moving

I want you here tonight
I want you here
'Cause I can't believe what I found
I want you here tonight
I want you here
Nothing is taking me down

I remember it well
Taxied out of a storm
To watch you perform
And my ships were sailing

I remember it well
I was standing in your line
And your mouth

Nothing is taking me down
Except you my love

Come all ye lost
Dive into the moss
I hope that my sanity covers the cost
To remove the stain of my love

I wanna hear what you have to say about me
Hear if you're gonna live without me
I wanna hear what you want
I can remember December

And I wanna hear what you have to say about me
Hear if you're gonna live without me
I wanna hear what you want

A While MG

Way up in that sky
I look up and I wonder
If that's you passing by
It's been a while since I was your man

Used to shout up from outside
Wake you when you were sleeping
Now I walk the streets, I don't recognize nobody
It's been a while since I was your man

As time passed us by
We never felt like we should
We never did what we ought to
And folks they used to smile
And now they just think that they should
They just think that they should

We used to roll around on the floor
Get some Chinese delivered
Listen to Adore
It's been a while since I was your man

Oh She Knows

Autumn glow
I see you with me
Feel the snow
I see you in me

Your dreams show
I would be free
Should have known
I would come see
And she knows

I should go
See you in June
This time will hold
And its all for you
And she knows

Body

Hold silent
You were my violent snow
In my life
Just for the moment
And then the young die
So you can die
I was alive
In my body
You'll never find me
You'll never pull me in
In my body
The lonely creatures scream

Junes of cast
Left tired in their bones sleep
Burned alive
Wasted sunsets
Haunted my tunnel light
Right through my clothes
I was alive
In my body
You'll never find me
You'll never pull me in
In my body
The lonely creatures scream

In my body, you

Yes, I am waiting

Please drive slow
I've never been this way before
Violence reels in the underground

Yes, I am waiting
In silence throne
To fill the meetings
To strike me down
No more a reason
Than god above
Let your curses run
Yes, I am waiting
For your love

Radio waves of a dying sun
Radio speaks my soul alone
Forget my names, erase the page
And dinners draw the passengers
Yes, I am waiting
In silence throne
My blood of treason
My tears of home
No more a feeling
Than being cold
Of playing on
Yes, I am waiting

As I walk your street
Yes, I am waiting
As I ride your dreams
Yes, I am waiting
Inside your doubts
Just let me out

MM Issac

I hope that you like it in your little motel
And I hope that the suite sleeps and suits you well
Well I can see it as time and as sight through smell and
Thats why its nice to be by yourself

Cause thats what I'm waiting for
That's what I'm waiting for, aren't I?
That's what I'm waiting for darlin'

We treat mishaps like sinking ships and
I know that i don't want to be out to drift
Well I can see it in your eyes like I taste your lips and
They both tell me that we're better than this

We trade tit for tat like that for this
And i don't think that there was an insult that was missed
I can see it in your eyes like I taste your lips and
I'm very sorry

Cause thats what I'm waiting for
That's what I'm waiting for, aren't I?
That's what I'm waiting for darlin'

It rained and its over a shooting star
Landed directly on our broke down little car
We fold and we had made a wish
That we would be missed
If one another just did not exist

Cause thats what we're waiting for
That's what we're waiting on, aren't we?
That's what we're waiting for darlin'

I think its kind of funny that as time goes by we all look back and wonder what the hell happened or even how the hell did we get here. Also how time seems to go faster the older you get. And that scares the hell out of me. I soon will make a life-changing move; one that will place my life on a new road, a new line, different than the one I had planned many years ago. But who cares really right. I mean thats the point of living I think, to make your life your own, make those decisions that lead you towards unexpected outcomes. Safety is gay, and I mean gay as in stupid... not sayin gays are dumb... anyway, if you don't get what I am trying to say you should probably leave now. Anyway, I just wanted to say that. I will post more poems/ lyrics soon.
