LIKE A BABY

Like A Baby

touching you today with gentle hands 

I wanted to hurt you but could not

the pain of the memory twisted my heart into wreckage

 and made my beauty

unrecognizable to your indifferent eyes. 

you didn't even see me, then. I was merely a wraith

standing there in that doorway watching you

 slow dancing with a perfect stranger

I felt like a once welcomed kid looking in the candy store window

 now locked Keep Out!

 I didn't know quite what to feel or where to look 

or where to stand

your eyes caught mine and you gave a cold little smirk

 as the knife plunged deeper

and icy hot tears began to make their way

down my cheeks in betrayal.

damn it, I hated you then! 

I wanted to rip you to shreds 

and torture you and make

you feel the way that you made me feel 

but all I could do was watch you dance 

and cry like a baby.

The End Of The Line

The End of the Line

.

.

I can hear it coming

But I can’t see it come

It’s coming straight on through the dark

And I’m waitin’ here at home.

.

.

A big black train, a nightmare

Coming down the track

It’s taking my soul on a trip

But it ain’t coming back.

.

.

It comes for those a’ dying

It comes for those who weep

For those who don’t know it’s the end

As they lay down to sleep.

.

.

But me, I know I’m dying

I’ve known it for some time

And I will ride that big black train

To the end of that old line.

.

.

And where that end is, I don’t know

But I hope it’s Glory bound

I ain’t got nothin’ here to pack

Lord, ain’t that a lonesome sound?

.

.

I’m just a hobo in this world

Not really known for much

But where I’m goin’ we’re all the same

No highs and lows and such.

.

.

My brother is the favored son

He’s tall and fine and proud

The squeaky wheel always gets the grease

And well, he squeaks real loud.

.

.

Nobody ever notices me

They won’t worry when I’m gone

I’m just a no-good lay-a-bout

That likes to ride and roam.

.

.

Well, here it comes, that awful train

So long, Old Pop and Mother

Say what?! I’m still here and alive

But the train done took my brother.

I Don't Believe In The Devil

I Don't Believe in the Devil

I don't believe in the devil.......

But the devil believes in me

I don't look into his midnight eyes

But in mine I know he sees

I don't care how he wears his hair

Or if he dresses in a little red suit

I'm not impressed at the size of his chest

Or the tip on his pointy-toed boot

Believing in him has a price

The rewards of which are seldom nice

And if you're tempted, you'd better think twice

Cause the Dude, he's destined for Hell!

I don't believe in the devil.....

But the devil hates my guts

He wants so badly for me to trust him

That he tries to drive me nuts

He slanders me and scandals me

And he insults all my dreams

But when I ignore his endless taunts

You ought to hear his screams!

I don't believe in the devil.....

But the devil believes in me

I know he's real, that's not the deal

But he's the Father of Lies, you see.

I DIDN"T LOVE YOU THEN

I DIDN'T LOVE YOU THEN

I DIDN'T LOVE YOU THEN.........

WHEN THE SUN WAS WARM

AND SHINING ON YOUR FACE

MY HEART KEPT IT'S DISTANCE

EVEN THOUGH YOUR HAND HELD MINE

AND KEPT ME CLOSE THROUGH

PICNIC, SAND CASTLE AND 

SUDDEN THUNDERSTORM

NOR WHEN WE RAN FOR SHELTER

LAUGHING LIKE CHILDREN.

I DIDN'T LOVE YOU THEN

WHEN THE MOON

BATHED YOU IN HER SNOWY GLANCE

LIGHTING UP YOUR SOULFUL EYES

AS YOU LIT A CIRCLE OF CANDLES

AND ASKED ME TO DANCE

IN THE FOREST

WITH ONLY THE SONG THAT BURST

SPONTANEOUSLY FROM YOUR LIPS

FOR MUSIC.

I DIDN'T LOVE YOU THEN

AS I READ VOLUMES

OF YOUR LETTERS FILLED

WITH PROSE AND PASSION

PLEDGES OF UNDYING FOREVERNESS

AND PAIN.....

I COULD NOT...

I WOULD NOT...

AND I DON'T KNOW WHY

MY HEART WOULD ONLY BID ME RUN.

BUT TODAY IS A DAY I COULD NOT SEE

LIKE YESTERDAY WILL ALWAYS BE

THERE IN MY MIND

A MEMORY, CAPTURED, HELD IN HANDS

CLASPED SO TIGHTLY, THEY HURT

THE SAME HANDS THAT COULD NOT 

HOLD YOU TO MY UNFEELING HEART

BUT WATCHED YOU WALK AWAY

ALONE AND PUZZLED AT MY NONCHALANCE

I DIDN'T LOVE YOU THEN BUT.... I DO NOW.

MY LOVE, MY LOVE, MY EVER LOVE........

I DIDN'T LOVE YOU THEN BUT I DO NOW.
