Between You and I

Between you and I Forever’s the long hard space between you and I It’s a long hard road we walked for quite a while Every birthday and every Christmas we would cross another mile And the world would smile at forever between you and I Your sunny smile became a thunder storm Even after we had children that would grow Love became a suffocation that became our daily norm But the world turns round, in that space, between you and I Chorus Well I guess I got no reason to complain Took a shot of something strong to numb the pain There were happy times and moments That justified the life we made Now love’s a grown up game, where nobody get’s to change.... Stopped the car for a while sat and watched out home Like a stranger that took the wrong turn down our road We both had out expectations We fought to make a happy life But somehow we both changed, in this life we made and though I gave up dreams I wouldn’t change a thing between you and I Chorus But there’s moments when I’m sitting at this bar that I’ll think of you and wonder how you are just when I thought the song was over, and felt the silence that would come, Fate sent a song my way, and I felt life in me again.. So I’ll hold onto a butterfly in the wind That reflects the brightest colours love can give And I’ll hold onto forever, in a smile that’s been a gift And though my heart will break I’d still have done the same But I will see your face In every shot glass that I chase Forever‘s the long hard space between you... and I

Butterfly In Sneakers Wandered round these city streets With nowhere but back home to go As the day grew soft with street lamps Clouds drift by my thoughts in tow I recall your eyes looked down And time was frozen hard and cold You released me from my freedom Where you held my heart and soul Cruel to be kind, love won’t be blind You’ll be the time, when My greatest dreams were left behind Round this corner headlights find me They pass by the dark returns Was that you, please don’t remind me Steering clear of our concerns A spider web clings to a neon There a moth hangs in the glow Captured there it sings to me, a Butterfly in sneakers soul Cruel to be kind, love won’t be blind You’ll be the time, when My greatest dreams were left behind As the porch steps echo your steps I look back the moonlight sighs Sunflowers stand in silhouettes Awaiting homeless butterflies Cruel to be kind, love won’t be blind You’ll be the time, when My greatest dreams were left behind

Ever Again 04:09
Ever Again We used to talk the night away now I mean nothing to you, We could say most anything, now I don’t know what to do... ‘Cause inside I feel so broken, Like the words we fail to say Since you left and took your lovin’ Like a ship that sailed away But You... You remain, in this moment with me for all time, And I know, I’ll never love someone like I loved you... Ever again. There’s no point in expectations, It’s not how to love someone, But I could never keep you grounded, I’d let you fly into the sun, ‘Cause I'd rather love you freely, than force you into loving me, And though you’re bound to love another, I know your heart is still with me, But You... You remain, in this moment with me for all time, And I know, I’ll never love someone like I loved you... Ever again. But You... You remain, in this moment with me for all time, And I know, I’ll never love someone like I love you... Ever again, Oh you remain, in this moment with me for all time! And I know, I'll never, love someone like I loved you... Ever again... Ever again

Mandalay 04:36
Mandalay Hey, Mandalay I walked out to the lighthouse yesterday Grey, sunny day... The waves can wash your memory away But the buoy rolls so gently in the bay I can see you with your bags get on that train Your tears were just for me, you knew my pain Standing there I saw the reason why you had to leave The bar inside that station was the writing on my sleeve But it’s okay, Mandalay Hey Mandalay. I’m just talking to this front porch rail to say Hey, I’m okay Just the same, no one to blame, but that damn old train There’s a magnet on the fridge that says New York It takes me back each time I close that door. Sentimental cheap memento from a store. Sitting here, I can’t help hear, the echo of your name Even though, my hand let go, you just won’t leave my brain Just another day, Mandalay Mandalay, a memory that never goes away....

Try 05:15
Try Was a cold and long November the sky turned into grey we talked away the hours with the things you had to say we all kept on denying but the truth behind it all began to fall though you barely had the strength to stand and say goodbye I just hugged you tight before my flight and wondered why.. How can I just walk away and never see your face look at me once again And then you said: Promise me you’ll try To say goodbye That you’ll get by Without me in your life You gotta try live for me you gotta try You held onto the window I could hear each shallow breath your eyes were sheer defiance like a lion facing death you told me how you loved me and how you proud you were of all the things I’ve done you left your words of wisdom that would follow me never turn your back on God, be kind, do righteous things watching over you that night I had a feeling we would never talk again and then you said : promise me you’ll try to say goodbye that you’ll get by without me in your life promise me, you’ll live for me, you gotta try

Nobody Knows by Craig Durgy She stares at, her coffee, Cold to the brim I feel her fingers parting, She must go home to him The diner, grows louder, Her eyes give in She gathers coat and courage, Saying goodbye again Nobody knows she’s mine all mine She’ll soon head home to him Her smile breaks, my chest aches There’s not one word I watch in fantasy, Real is just so absurd The sun fills, the window, Her empty seat I see what love has left me Cold with the burning heat Nobody knows she’s mine all mine Nobody knows she’s mine Nobody knows that she’s mine all mine, Lord Nobody knows, love only knows she’s mine. God only knows she’s mine. Outside the, street clatters, No trace behind I don’t know where to go, Lost in this day and time My phone rings, her greeting, Echoes my tears Vowing her heart forever, Hidden in what appears Nobody knows she’s mine all mine Nobody knows she’s mine Nobody knows that she’s mine all mine, Lord God only knows, love only knows she’s mine. I’ll always know she’s mine.

Breathing slow.. Darlin’ don’t let go Through the night, You will find this burning light... Take my hand, We will silence Ancient sands. Breathing slow, Breathing slow... in a secret place that only we know.. ‘Cause I’d live a thousand lives to be with you.. and I’d give my heart if you would ask me to.. and I’d breathe your name until the stars lost all their glow.. Breathing slow… Breathing slow.. Instrumental We both know, time’s a fateful friend, But the glow of this love will never end.. Say it slow, And together we’ll ascend. All the sinners and the saints.. They cant hide from what we all are meant to make. Tell me how to stop this heart from loving you? I’d still live a thousand lives to be with you.. and I’d give my heart if you would ask me to.. and I’d breathe your name until the stars lost all their glow.. Breathing slow… Breathing slow.. Breathing slow… Breathing slow

Fallen 04:51
Fallen Coming to me like a gentle shower Falling over every inch of my desire, ….. a silent whisper screams, like a flower in its fullest bloom, words that cannot be forgotten soon …behind a wall, beholden, but i’ve fallen, I fall into your spell weightless, under you I fell… i fell timeless, seeking beyond the mind lovers, the door is open wide.. and i’ve fallen, fallen into you Like an army waiting for release or a hungry man that sows the earth with seeds, ………in time we’ll meet the need like a poet’s words that all beguile like a dimple in a captive smile ……….you weaken my resolve but I’ve fallen, i've fallen to your spell weightless, into earth we fell… we fell timeless, there’s no great divide, Lovers, the door is open wide.. and yes i’ve fallen, fallen under you….. living dauntless, warm the earth tonight.. living fearless, sink the mark that bites… that bites wading, the forbidden well Yearning, hidden in the words we tell until we’ve fallen.. fallen, fallen in the blue.. i have fallen, fallen into you.

This Side Of The Line Out of the crowds I Look for a break in this fast moving day As I look about I Shiver awake to the city’s cold grey Turn down the lane And into a pub, dimly glowing and warm Settle my brain With the flame in the whiskey as it goes down Man on the rise I, lose sight of the prize, my Time really flies when I’m getting things done But now and again I, remember when I Escaped to the arms of a certain someone Ordered a beer Wash down the whiskey and stir up the past Bringing her near Just like this bottle, the curve of the glass Study the mirror Reflecting the colors of spirits and light Everything’s clear Dissecting old lovers like stars in the night Man on the rise I, lose sight of the prize, my Time really flies when I’m getting things done But now and again I, remember when I Escaped to the arms of a certain someone Time to go home Can’t stay too long on this side of the line But here all alone I feel her lips on this bottle of mine This side of the line I feel her lips on this bottle of mine

I'm Always Losing You As the shades of morning breaks Ain’t it funny how we hesitate, to say the things that weigh our weary minds? He packed his travel bags last night, About to take another flight to God knows where, and God knows what again... He’s always been a travelling man, and i always tried to understand That he’s gotta do the things he’s gotta do, But every time i hear that garden gate, squeaking open ... It reminds how, i’m always losing you…. Chorus So i’m living half a life Without you in it, And breathing half a breathe without you in it, And I feel this heartache deep inside of me, Like a tidal wave that hits the barren seas And i wish, I wish that you were here with me. Discovery’s a wicked thing, when you find out things you didn’t see, And didn’t want to know ‘till it was there.. But as i watched you pack your bags The sadness that you always had, Seemed to disappear, behind a wandering smile, But something ‘bout his mind has changed, his shirt is tucked and he’s always shaved, and he’s walking like a prince that won a throne, But every time i hear the wind push the porch door open, It reminds me how, you left that night for good. Chorus So i’m living half a life Without you in it, And I’m breathing half a breathe without you in it, And i feel this heartache deep inside of me, Like a tidal wave that hits the barren sea, And i wish, I wish you’re coming back to me, And i’ll always be just wishing on a dream... But I’ll always see you living here with me.

Jonah 02:53 video
Jonah I was drowning in a sad sea out of the waves your love just swallowed me So warm and tender I just held on tight I made you laugh until you cried When your tears released me I just couldn’t leave after a while you didn’t notice me but I’ve been there inside you without fail yes I am Jonah and your love is the whale So you take me with you like the tide floating around you keep me warm inside Never knowing that I hide within love lies deeper than the skin Sometimes I’d slip right back into the sea but the sunshine only blinded me and like a ship without a sail I am Jonah and your love is the whale Even though I know you’ll never hear this song I’m still content to keep on hanging on And as the currents take you out to sea Your love will always be the whale and Jonah's always me always me…

Corners 04:14
Corners I called you on your phone again just to hear your voice but I know I should know better, I should’ve made a different choice but I guess the night has been unkind and the bottle did it’s chore and by the time I reached that bottom, I had the courage to do more I guess it’s been more hard on me, than I would admit To know you’re somewhere happy in the world And every now then when I hear a truckers’ horn In the distance, and in that instance, I miss you. You said you had enough of always trying, and what’s the point of fighting on a farm that’s dying? You didn’t take a single thing with you but at least you took the dog, And when I saw your taillights fading in the dark My tears filled up the corners of my heart.. The house is looking run down and the mailbox just fell down I guess you missed all the excitement since you haven’t been around, And the tools that were your pride and joy in a red box neat and nice Is still standing in the hallway, I may have kicked it once or twice, I think it’s kinda funny how all the things we hate, we end up never hating anymore.. And when I get so lonely that I feel like I could die, I wear the jacket that you left behind, As I stare out on the porch every night There’s a tea cup on the counter, where you left it long ago I couldn’t find the nerve to clean it, for your hands just left it so And I swear sometimes I see you, in the corner of my eye Just to turn and see there’s nothing but phantom in my mind I could say I miss you less these days .. I’m lying and I hope this message ends before I’m crying, and while you’re searching for yourself out there, just know you have a home, And if you’re passing through, These corners that knew I’ll leave the porch light on In case you feel alone… And need these corners of my heart...
