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.

Dancing With Your Ghost

I love this song so much

  

no compromise

 no compromise   

                    

we found and lost one another before we met
and for the rest of our lives, we'll regret
what could have been, what should have been, it's true
and I will never know the joy of you.

we found a ground that we could share together
but found a ground that we could not share, ever
and in that finding lost what we had found
and said goodbye to that, our common ground.

we found a love that fairy tales speak of
and yet if love's withheld, then is it love?
Is love given in anger love that's true
and will I ever again know love like you?

we found the place that our hearts longed to live
but compromise of mind we could not give
we tossed the petals of the rose to wind
and turned our backs and began our search again.
