Here I Am (Black Heart Sweet)
Verse 1:
I checked the weather conditions, the gale had ceased, the sea was calm
As I poured through the window, burning through the rays of dawn
Chorus:
Here I am, Here I am, Excitingly Plaid, Excitingly Plain, Blackheart Sweet, Here I am
Here I am, Here I am, Excitingly Plaid, Excitingly Plain, Blackheart Sweet, Here I am
Verse 2:
To destroy the devine, connotate the afterlife
Giving up the settled life(lie), wondering, wandering
Chorus:
Here I am, Here I am, Excitingly Plaid, Excitingly Plain, Blackheart Sweet, Here I am
Here I am, Here I am, Excitingly Plaid, Excitingly Plain, Blackheart Sweet, Here I am
Verse 2:
We all want to be loved I know it’s rough, but I am here
With humble heart and wilderness, remember, but I am here
This is real, this is crazy, I am shaking, I am shaking, but I am here
Chorus:
Here I am, Here I am, Excitingly Plaid, Excitingly Plain, Blackheart Sweet, Here I am
Here I am, Here I am, Excitingly Plaid, Excitingly Plain, Blackheart Sweet, Here I am

Push The River
Verse 1:
In this little town,
In this little house,
In this little room, of mine.
Love came climbing in,
Love came crawling in,
Love came rolling in, on me
Tossing fear aside,
That taste of bitter wine,
I raised my hands up high, and cried:
Chorus:
Hey, I’m going to push the river.
Hey, I’m going to rush the sea.
Hey, I’m sinking in the ocean.
Hey, I’m floating back to me.
Hey, I’m floating back to me.
Hey, I’m floating back to me.
Verse 2:
In all things civilized,
It’s not as advertised,
The force of power lies within.
Strength came rolling in,
Strength came strolling in
Strength came storming in, on me
Tossing fear aside,
That taste of cherry wine,
I raised my hands up high, and cried:
Chorus 2:
Hey, I’m going to push the river.
Hey, I’m going to push the sea.
Hey, I’m sailing on the ocea.n
Hey, I’m coming back to me.
Hey, I’m coming back to me.
Hey, I’m coming back to me.
Verse 3:
The house of little lies,
In all things glamorized
I look into your eyes and see
Strength comes seeping in,
Strength comes flowing in
Strength comes pouring in, on me
Tossing fear aside,
That taste of cherry wine,
I raised my hands up high, and cried:
Chorus 3:
Hey, I’m going to push the river.
Hey, I’m going to push the sea.
Hey, I’m sailing on the ocean.
Hey, I’m coming back to me.
Hey, I’m coming back to me.
Hey, I’m coming back to me

Dreaming, Or
Dreaming, Or am I really scheming.
Dread that coming feeling.
Ain’t got nothing at all,
Ain’t got nothing at all
Ain’t got nothing at all
Breathing, Heart is swiftly squeezing.
Chest is burstly beating
Breath is barely wheezing
Ain’t got nothing at all,
Ain’t got nothing at all.
Ain’t got nothing at all.
Batten down the branches.
Ignoring all the fray.
Cast aside the quiver
Step into the doorway
Walking, Smile, the floor is falling
Chairs and halos hissing
Vinyl walls are spinning
Ain’t got nothing at all,
Ain’t got nothing at all
Reading, Strip away the ceiling
Squint into the silence
Free the tiles of meaning
Ain’t got nothing at all,
Ain’t got nothing at all
Batten down the branches.
Ignoring all the fray.
Cast aside the quiver
Step into the doorway
Dreaming, Or am I really stealing.
That overwhelming feeling.
Clouds and Stars are beaming.
Ain’t got nothing at all,
Ain’t got nothing at all
Ain’t got nothing at all
Ain’t got nothing at all

Leveraging the Radical
Verse 1:
Contingencies, Competitive
Leveraging the radical, suits my style, suits my style.
Quantum skin, Reality
Sensitive to strangers in the new reality, duality.
Chorus 1:
And your mask distorts your smile
Shutdown trigger won’t reach the tower
Excess failure prophesized
Speculation is running wild
Verse 2:
All Inclusive Excesses,
Prophet moves the permanent augmentations, expectations
Hollywood, Holidays
Given the terrain of my terrarium, my aquarium
Chorus 2:
And your mask distorts your smile
Shutdown trigger won’t reach the tower
Excess failure prophesized
Speculation is running wild
Verse 3:
Renewable, Material,
Handling of Strangers in crowded areas, are scary as
Logical, Adjacencies
Leveraging the Radical brings salvation, consternation
Chorus 3:
And your mask distorts your smile
Shutdown trigger won’t reach the tower
Excess failure prophesized
Speculation is running wild

Gone, but not Forgotten
Chorus:
Gone, but not forgotten. Gone, not gone away
Gone, but not forgotten. Gone, not gone away
Verse 1:
Where have you gone, my endless river?
Where have you gone, my endless sea?
I miss you more than I can fathom.
Your face, your smile, I see.
You laugh, you smile, we see.
Repeat Chorus:
Verse 2:
You’re free of pain, but I still miss you.
You’re free to go, my one true friend.
Good times & bad, if I was given….
My choice, I’d do it all again
I’d do it, all over again.
Repeat Chorus:
Verse 3:
So fly away, you precious angel
Fly away, and follow the stream
Fly away and comfort my mem’ry
I’ll see you, again, in my dreams,
I saw you, tonight, in my dream.
Repeat Chorus:
For James, Dave, Connie and Sarah….and Covid-2020

Shadow of a Doubt
Verse 1:
Stand me up, I’ll hold it against you,
But I’ll still, wait for an hour.
Guess I’m loaded, loaded with patience.
It’s a really stale superpower
I’m stuck, anxious and nervous
About your lack of arrival
Losing faith, and watching the sunset
Still in, my state of denial
Chorus:
Shadow of a doubt, you’re leaving.
Tell-tale sign, I’m grieving.
10 frame sky, you’re scheming.
I’ve disappeared, I’m leaving.
Verse 2:
I’ve never had, the solace of shelter.
Nor a fragrant field of view
I’m like a ghost on the edge of your doorway
You know your shadow, can see right through
A thing forgotten, safe day of light
A spirit renounced the deepest of night
Shadows follow, follow the sunset
Maybe we just need a reset
Chorus:
Shadow of a doubt, you’re leaving.
Tell-tale sign, I’m grieving.
10 frame sky, you’re scheming.
I’ve disappeared, I’m leaving.
Bridge 1:
In the shade, in the shadow,
In the meade, in the meadow
In the bell, in the bellow.
In the will, in the willow.
In the hail, in the halo
In the fur, in the furrow.
Verse 3:
Wind Steady, storm still raging.
Dreadful quiet, lighthouse forsaken.
Outnumbered on the bridge of illusion.
King Tweed in the car of confusion.
Maybe I’m too tied to suspicion.
I confess, I’m afraid of the wild.
While you, dabble in heartbreak.
I’m lamenting in the morning side
Chorus:
Shadow of a doubt, you’re leaving.
Tell-tale sign, I’m grieving.
10 frame sky, you’re scheming.
I’ve disappeared, I’m leaving.
Bridge 2:
In the shade, in the shadow,
In the meade, in the meadow
In the bell, in the bellow.
In the will, in the willow.
In the hail, in the halo
In the fur, in the furrow.
In the hall, in the hallow.
In the spa, in the sparrow
In the wind, in the window.
In the fall, in the fallow
In the hail, in the halo
In the bell, in the bellow.
In the shade, in the shadow,
In the meade, in the meadow.
In the wind, in the willow

Pardon My Opinion
Verse 1:
I must try and avoid you.
You must, try and avoid me too.
I’ve been, down in the trenches.
Rise up, and somebody shot me through.
Chorus:
How can you be so sure of yourself?
Where does the confidence come from?
Surely you’re not always right on the line
Over-inflated your welcome.
Pardon my opinion.
Pardon my opinion.
Pardon my opinion.
Pardon my opinion, please.
Verse 3:
Half drawn, flag is unfurling.
I must, avoid the avoiding.
It’s clear, point of contention.
Reward, boot of submission.
Chorus:
Verse 3:
Rear view, obstacles rolling.
Clear path, done with the trolling.
Scene set, breakout the customs.
Hand played, laid down and folding.
Chorus:
How can you be so sure of yourself?
Where does the confidence come from?
Surely you’re not always right on the line
Over-inflated your welcome.
How can you be so sure of yourself?
Where does the confidence come from?
Surely you’re not always right all the time.
Over-inflated your welcome.
Pardon my opinion.
Pardon my opinion.
Pardon my opinion.
Pardon my opinion, please.

Yesterday’s Mornings
Verse 1:
Stayed up late to worry
Sleeping till the mourning comes
Trying to keep it together
Wonder when it comes undone
Wonder when I’ll come undone
Verse 2:
Still it just keeps on coming
Dealing with it every day
Try not keep my mouth shut
Working hard to find a way
Working thru to find my way
Chorus:
Yesterday’s mornings, Yesterday’s news
Will keep us from trav’lin, out into the blue
The fate of the nation, the fate of our friends
All hang on a promise, that blows in the wind.
We entered the river, and washed down the stream
A day and a year there, stuck in a dream
Verse 3:
We had to miss the party
We had to miss the train
We had to close the club tonight
Concert, bar and blame
Canceled due to rain
Verse 4:
Watchin’ the passing seasons,
Safely saving staying at home,
Never know what I’m screening,
TV, window or phone
Window, TV or phone.
Chorus 2:
Yesterday’s mornings, Yesterday’s news
Will bring you know comfort, when learning the blues,
The comings and goings are not your concerns.
Everyone’s running and nobody learns.
The fate of the nation, the fate of our friends
Are covered in water, and no one can swim
We entered the river, and washed down the stream
A day and a year there, stuck in a dream
Yesterday’s mornings, Yesterday’s news
Will keep us from trav’lin, out into the blue

Inverted Introvert
Wet lines are swaying on,
Home view is staying strong,
Inverted, introverted
Strength runs are fanning thru,
Bright Corrugated view,
Inverted, Introverted
I’m longing for the one,
You’re longing to be done,
Inverted, Introverted
I smile all through the day,
Plan every-thing I say.
Inverted, Introverted.
I have all that I need,
Bubblegum Pop jealousy
Inverted, Introverted
Empathic quality
I feel humanity
Inverted, Introverted
Attraction natural
Rejection typical
Inverted, Introverted
I have anxiety
Burst forth inside of me
Inverted, Introverted
I’m feeling ancient pain,
Just vanish in the rain
Inverted, Introverted
Red leaves are falling down,
Gray sky is staying round
Inverted, Introverted
Dense figure in the air
Side eye deflected stare
Inverted, Introverted
Tree tops blend into sky
Pull back, my love and I
Inverted, Introverted
Quaint gaze is looking thru
Well done, averted you
Inverted, Introverted
I miss component one,
Dismiss informant done
Inverted, Introverted
I trend to overthink,
Ascension on the brink
Inverted, Introverted
I draw hard to unwind,
Sapphire is on the line
Inverted, Introverted
The source set physical,
Hold set material.
Inverted, Introverted
Old soul they’re calling me
The sects and heresies
Inverted, Introverted
The bad will go to worse
Suff’rin another verse
Inverted, Introverted
The better that I do,
Subscribed Platontic view
Inverted, Introverted
My works are scattered thru,
Rein-car-nated views
Inverted, Introverted
Most pure and luminous,
Now shines in all of us.
Inverted, Introverted
The talking aconite,
Infecting me tonight.
Inverted, Introverted
I veer to walk away,
Regain my energy.
Inverted, Introverted
Behold the steady will,
Weekend is ready still.
Inverted, Introverted
Strengthen by victory,
My quiet ministry.
Inverted, Introverted
Whose work contained a soul,
Condemned behind a wall.
Inverted, Introverted
Expunging from the game,
My conversation lame.
Inverted, Introverted
The writer did not know,
What ending he controlled.
Inverted, Introverted
Among the early cast,
I waited to be last.
Inverted, Introverted
Wet lines are swaying on,
Home view is staying strong,
Inverted, introverted
Strength runs are fanning thru,
Bright Corrugated view,
Inverted, Introverted
You’re longing for the one,
I’m longing to be done,
Inverted, Introverted
I smile all through the day,
Plan every-thing I say
Inverted, Introverted
Red leaves are falling down,
Gray sky is staying round
Inverted, Introverted
Tree tops blend into sky
Hold on to being shy
Inverted, Introverted
The writer did not know,
What ending he controlled.
Inverted, Introverted
Whose work condemned a soul,
Contained behind a wall.
Inverted, Introverted
Among the early cast,
I waited to be last.
