Reminds Me of You

A warm summer night
As dark as can be
I think of your eyes
As blue as the sea
It whispers your name
I hear it, too
The only thing is
It reminds me of you
I walk by the river
Can’t help but think
Of all the cheap bottles
We used to drink
Nobody else could understand
If only they knew
As much as it hurt
It reminds me of you
You hand me a lasso
I’ll give you the moon
If it’s a song you want
I wrote this, too
You made a wish upon a star
I hope it comes true
As bright as can be
It reminds me of you
When summer ends
And the leaves change
I think back to when we met
It felt so strange
To fall in love again
Oh what I would do
To never feel blue
To start again new
To always stay true
And be reminded of you

Tango

If there’s a fear in finding love
And a thrill to the chase
I know that feeling far too well
Like the scar across your face
On this mournful morning
We’ll mix some mistakes with a shot of gin
We can drown a dozen sorrows
‘Til it brings back that giddy grin
But even the best photo-booth pictures fade
And some things can’t be fixed
Like the soles of your black leather boots
Or a passing eclipse
So watch the stars while I wonder
If I know you too well
Or was I just the jerk
Who put a poppy on your lapel

Next Spring
03:21
|

There’s a rose in my garden
That’s stiffer than steel
Pointed high at the sky
Demanding all those to kneel
But it’s cold and the leaves are falling soon
Winter has found my old room
I tend to its demands
Every night that I can
And I tend to act out cruel
Like some old poor fool
In my garden on the hill
There’s a rose in my garden
Petals redder than her blush
Upon her pale cheek
It all feels far too much
But the promise she made with her eyes
Was one of love, no surprise
I can’t help but fight
Her angelic sight
And I can’t help but fear
Every time she comes here
To my garden on the hill
There’s a rose in my garden
I can’t help but miss
She’s been gone far too long
I’ve forgotten her kiss
But at night, I see her face
In my dreams, no time to waste
Come sometime next spring
She’ll go wearing his new ring
And come sometime, who knows
I’ll go looking for a rose
In my garden on the hill

My Father (Before Me)
02:46
|
|||
|
In time a cross appeared to me
In light above the trees
And when my mind had finally gone
My eyes, I couldn’t believe
The stream tastes of kerosene
And I’m fearful of the night
And then the wind begins to howl tunes
That fill my heart with fright
Oh father, before me
Will you let me pass through
Oh father, my father
My life is up to you
I left behind the ones I love
To be standing here in shame
I can’t look back, I dream a new
Life without this pain
Cleanse my soul, my mind is bare
Strip me to my core
Teach me to never look back
And God, I don’t want more
Oh father, my father
Your time is all I want
Oh father, my father
Your wisdom, I have sought

Tip the Piano Player
04:12

Tip the piano player
Although he’s all alone
He meant to have a band
A bassist, a saxophone
So don’t be frightened
If he still reeks of booze
And asks for a cigarette
You can always just refuse
You know he left behind
His beloved tabby cat
To be cared for
By some hypochondriac
So don’t get greedy
Pretend to care
To you, some pocket change
To him, bus fare
So tip the piano player
And offer him a drink
If someone would take him home
He’ll wash up in your sink
So tip the piano player
He’ll play your favorite song
The one you love to sing
We’ll all just cheer along
So tip the piano player
If his playing made your night
And tip the piano player
To remind him that he’s alright

Yellow Moon
03:42

Light another cigarette
We can share it with a drink
I’m not leaving anytime soon
I just came here to
Think about the yellow moon
And the shadow across your floor
The sunken half of my old bed
I wonder who it’s
For me to say I’m in love
You ask me how I know
Then say to me “never settle”
But now it’s time to
Go into the evening air
Alone by the shore
Listening to all the waves crash
I wonder who they’re for
Spend another night in town
We can watch the sunrise
Running out of things to say
You helped me
Realize exactly what I missed
And how much I want more
I know you still carry love
I wonder who it’s
Forever in a trance
With you by my side
After all is said and done
You beg me to
Hide away all I feel
Like a thousand times before
You wipe the tears from my eyes
I wonder who they’re for

Venus
04:23

|
There’s no star on display
I wouldn’t give to bring you home
Leaving myrtle on your grave
The fragrance of love
That made you so brave
Release your hands, be free
You have nothing to hide
It’s your life I follow
An inspiration
More than Apollo
You’ve come to teach me fear and wit
In the face of life and death
With a silver tongue and bite
You give me strength each day and night
You’re not sick nor crazy
A prized beauty on display
Come hear your applause
I’m older now
Than Venus ever was

Love is Enough
01:17
|
|||
|
I don’t know if you’ll ever find peace
Or what comes to mind when you sleep
I don’t know if you meant what you said
But the pain of not knowing
The dread of not knowing
But I’m alright
Your love is enough
Your love is enough
But I’m
Your love is enough
