Until I Started Liking You

UNTIL I STARTED LIKING YOU
You can like me as a friend
You can keep me as a pet
You can haunt me like a memory
I’ll take whatever I can get
When it hurts I feel happy
When I’m in pain I feel fine
It only happens when I think of you
I think about you all the time
 I only like you at a distance
Because you live so far away
If I could change my life this instant
We’d be together every day
The pain of love is so exquisite
It keeps romantic fools alive
I only live for your next visit
I only hope I can survive
When it hurts I feel happy
When I’m in pain I feel fine
It only happens when I think of you
I think about you all the time
I said I’d never write a love song
And to that promise I held true
I never had the inspiration
Until I started liking you

A Shadow Crossed

A SHADOW CROSSED
 A shadow crossed my heart
When I left that sunny afternoon
A kiss kept me alive
On the lonely highway ride
Springtime had to end
I still have the sweetest friend
As summer falls to autumn
I worry if we’ll meet again
I feel you every day
We’re miles apart
I’m still afraid to say
What fills my heart
What is the chance
This ill fated romance
Is what we waited for
But we promised ourselves nevermore
And closed the door
You and I continue on
We’re never out of touch too long
Messages we write
Keep the two of us up all night
I feel you every day
 Now we’re miles apart
There’s something I should say
And it breaks my heart
He said, “She’s good”
And I thought, “I know”
Those eyes the lips that hair
There’s no one like her anywhere
But soon I’ll have to go
I should have stayed
Just for one more day
Walked you up the avenue
Made a longer rendezvous
Spent more time with you

lovesick

LOVESICK
I fell ill from the love
The one thing I’m guilty of
is watching you from the trees
It seems to help my disease
A paper doll hung on a string
It’s heart the most fragile of things
If you pull on one end
Then my life will extend
You’re most happy alone
When you feel like a stone
But you’re a beautiful flower
And softness is a power
What I’m saying my dear
Is that you're drawing me near
And I want to be close
It’s what I desire most
Fenestra
Palestra
Cathedra cadenza dicentra
Tremella

As I can get to it, I'll be adding the lyrics to all the songs I have posted here.  The words aren't available anywhere else, so it will make this site unique, instead of just a replication of what's on my Soundcloud page.

Soul Mates In The Rain

SOUL MATES IN THE RAIN
The boys all love you
But what you need to know
I’m not some other
Sweet talking romeo
I care more deeply
Never pin you down
You’ll decide freely If you want me around
We’re star crossed lovers
Soul mates in the rain
There’s that connection
Logic can’t explain
 I can’t control this
It’s bigger than my pride
But if i tell you
I’m afraid you’ll run and hide
 I know you love me
Clues are everywhere
But you keep insisting to me
That you play solitaire
We’re star crossed lovers
Soul mates in the rain
There’s that connection again
No logic can explain
Star crossed lovers
Soul mates in the rain
There’s nothing that we can lose
And everything to gain

That Weekend

THAT WEEKEND
I wanted to take you downtown
Cause you don’t know your way around
But the city changes every day
And I might not even find our way
We went in circles on the subway line
Spent hours on the lower east side
Found vinyl at the record store
Got an armful but there’s always more
That weekend
Wish it would never end
We can walk
Don’t even have to talk
That weekend
Wish it could never end
I have a plan I want to hold your hand
This is my dream come true
Breathing the same air with you
We’re free to do whatever we like
Go anywhere stay up all night
We said goodbye and then we kissed
You held onto my hand a bit
Walking over to fifth avenue
you know I’m so in love with you
That weekend
Wish it would never end
We can walk
Don’t even have to talk
That weekend
It doesn’t have to end
We’ve got plans
To do it all again

What If I Never Saw You

WHAT IF I NEVER SAW YOU
I want to see something in the dark
I want to be somewhere from the start
I want to be perfect in your mind
I want us to be happy all the time
 It must be love, but it’s not real
It can’t be love if it’s not real
What if I never saw you in that light
An incandescent halo in the night
The vagaries of random circumstance
The power to disable or enhance
 I’ll be more specific when we chat
Right now I don’t know what I’m getting at
It must be love, but it’s not real
It can’t be love if it’s not real
