thirty two the same age that you were
when you became my mother ,dear
but I'm alone no place to call home
how I wish you were still here, still here
there's no rhyme and there's no reason
as time turns to another season
the good are gone and the bad get badder
my songs are sad and sadder
no baby mine with your smile
I think I'll go lay down for a while
no one to fight for, no one to fight with
no one to spend night after night with
he made a little girl a liar
took all she loved and it set it on fire
stole her dreams & took them apart
he even dismantled her little plastic heart
what makes us special makes us lonely
so many crowds no "one and only"
but if the choice is this or a fist to the face
I'll regard my empty bed as a state of grace
thirty two, the same age that you were
when you became my mother, dear
you suffered so to bring me glory
I'll do what I can to tell your story

Sad Eyed Rambling Man

don't sing me love songs
you know I can't hear them
for my heart is broken
like waves on the shore
but tell me your stories
over and over
it's the sound of your voice
I adore
we met in summer
your voice made my blood roar like the sea
but you loved another
I couldn't help falling
it was too late for me
I wait by the water
I watch the horizon
for signs of your ship
returning to land
you're no buckskin stallion
just a sad eyed rambling man
you've no golden galleon
but you do have my heart in your hands
you were so gentle
holding my head until all was still
I was so sentimental
thinking I could bend you to my will
I wish I were the traveler
I wish I were leaving you behind
a thin line against the vastness
a sliver of dark against the sky
but I am no rover
I need companion by my side
so don't sing me love songs
or I'll never get to sleep tonight
don't sing me love songs
you know I can't hear them
for my heart is broken
like waves on the shore
but tell me your stories
over and over
the sound of your voice awakens me
and I drown

The Man Who Never Was

peter was a lost boy
who thought that he could fly
but he kept wendy's thimble
til the day that he died
wendy was a child
who took all that she could
and peter would if she would
but he never would
chorus
we're just telling stories
before we say goodnight
we want a happy ending
before we're tucked in tight
some are tragic ballads
some have epic themes
and the farce disguised as romance
will haunt our dreams
alice was a rover
who couldn't stand still
no one's ever held her
and no one ever will
the white knight was a fool
who thought that she would fall
he thought she found him charming
but she didn't think that way at all
*chorus*
I am just a rambler
a storyteller by trade
and you are a character
I didn't realize that I'd made
I thought that you would ease me
I thought you would be true
but in the end it turned out
there was no such man as you
I was just telling stories
before I said goodnight
I wanted a happy ending
before we were tucked in tight
some were tragic ballads
and some had epic themes
but it's the farce disguised as romance
that haunts my dreams
