DON’T CALL ME

You don’t give me no respect
You don’t give to me at all
Now you hear I won’t take this
Won’t take this thing at all
You think ‘cos I aint like you
That you can break me like a kid
You can think what you want
But don’t call me stupid

You think you’re so high and fine
You think I’m not your kind
But brother you just crossed the line
So have you lost your mind?
Just because you know long words
Don’t mean I aint bright
In the cold light of day I know
It’s me you need at night.

LAST NIGHT I DREAMT OF DENVER

Last night I dreamt of Denver
The mountains and the trees
The house and the valleys
The Rockies on the breeze
Last night I dreamt of you again
Can’t get you from my head
Can’t quite forget the pain
Since you left my bed

Last night I watched the moon rise
Over the bare trees
I remembered the old times
Painful memories
Last night you cam to me again
All night I my dreams
Happy smiling faces
Happy smiling scenes

Last night my eyes were swollen
I’ve cried too many tears
My pillow is my only friend
But I still feel the fears
Last night I remembered
For the thousandth time
That you had gone forever
And you were not mine.

FOR YOU

For you
I will climb the highest hill
For you
I’ll keep on you know I will
For you
When it comes I’ll be your light
For you
I’ll hold you all through the night
Oh you
You you you
For you

With you
Heaven opens up its doors
With you
I will always need some more
With you
Be with me at journey’s end
With you
I will always have a friend
Oh you
You you you
For you

And you
Lighten up all my days
And you
Love me in so many ways
And you
Walk with me to setting sun
And you
Stay with me when life is done
Oh you
You you you
For you.

A BETTER PLACE

I’m always looking
But I don’t find
A place where I
Have peace of mind
A place where I
Can rest in calm
A place where
Wont come to harm

A better place
Oh oh
A better place
Where you and me
Can both walk free
A better place

And so I look
Under the sun
Beneath the moon
I’m on the run
I look and look
But I am blind
If I can’t see
Then I can’t find

And now the sands
Of time run fast
I’m fading now
And I can’t last
Help me help me
To find my place
And shine your love
Upon my face.

A STORY

Let me tell you a story ‘bout me
About the times I cried
Lonely were the nights
Sometimes I nearly died
Couldn’t see trees for wood
Couldn’t learn to slow down
But you you showed me good
Showed me I was found

But love never comes easy
Sometimes it doesn’t come at all
But if you should ever need me
I’ll listen for your call

One day I hope you’ll see me
Spot me in the crowd
Take my face and kiss me
Call my name out loud
Till then I’ll be waiting
Like god within the ground
Always hoping always waiting
Waiting to be found

But love never comes easy
Sometimes it doesn’t come at all
But if you should ever need me
I’ll listen for your call.

UNTIL THE DAY

The light slips slowly
Through yellow curtains
The day treads gently
Into our play
I see you smiling
And you say softly
It wont be long love
Until the day

Your father is waiting
Your mother she cries
Your shell you are breaking
By telling them lies
But my need is greater
Hear me when I say
It wont be long love
Until the day

Come with me tomorrow
And leave your today
Trust me completely
Hear what I say
Your life is my love

I wont throw it away
It wont be long love
Until the day.

SHELTER FROM THE STORM

Come to me when your heart is broken
Come to me when your dream dies
Come to me when no doors are open
Come to me when she lies
Come to me and I’ll heal your sorrow
Come to me and I’ll keep you warm
Come to me and I will love you
I will give you shelter from the storm

Come to me each morning
Come to me each new day
Come to me I will love you
Come to me and you will stay
Come to me I’ll always love you
Come to me and make your home
Come to me my precious lover
I will give you shelter from the storm.

FALLING

I wished upon a falling star
And wished I knew where you are
I wished upon a falling dream
And wished no one could hear me scream

I wished upon the falling rain
And wished that I felt no pain
I wished upon the falling night
That would end up quite alright

I wished upon the falling leaves
I wished that I should ever grieve
I wished upon the love that died
That you and I had never lied

I wished I wished for something new
I wished I wished for only you
I wished upon my dying breath
I wished until I had nothing left.
