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
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
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
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 She's Mine

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
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

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
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
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...
