Andrew's Prophecies

How can you explain how we feel

When you're never around?

How do you make the words heal

And the pain back down?

Why is it that we'll believe

Every word you say

Why is it that you can see

Everything the right way.

The words of angels echo through your voice

You talk with strangers and they'll take your words by choice

All of knowledge

All of wealth

All of living

All of death

Andrew says

All's alight

In our light.

Anniversary

Remember back to days of old

We didn't have a care in the world

As long as we were both together

Then we were both happy

Just like children in the rain

Our hearts danced and sang

With every beat

But when we all come out of the rain

We know love can't be the same

Remember how we used to tell

Each other everything we felt

And from finish to start

We spoke from the heart

Remember how innocent we seemed

And remember how we dreamed

That we'd never part

But when we all come out of the rain

Could our love still be the same?

And now the years have come and gone

And what I feel still is love

And there's not a memory that I regret

Nor one I could forget

We thought that we would grow apart

But when I look into my heart

I'm still getting wet

So when I come out of the rain

Will your love still be the same?

And what I want, will it be what will be

On this Anniversary?

On our Anniversary!

Another Song That No One Will Hear

Another song that no one will hear,

I'm quit sure of that

Just pouring out every emotion I feel

On to a pad of words

And it hurts

I know the pain

I know the pain

Of alone

The Apology

After all we've been through

I end up like this

I never waited patiently

I never gave you your chance

Tempted by the sight of you

And lost my mind over your kiss

I never said I'm sorry girl

So please accept this

Parted from the sight of you

I feel so confused

What I wanted has been revoked

What did I do?

I meant no harm with emotion

I'm sorry you don't understand

I feel so selfish girl

Forgive me if you can

I'm sorry!

Athena

Virgin Mary came to me in a dream

While the man next door, he claims he saw Athena

And I came upon a bathroom stall

That had written upon its wall

A number to reach God

There was a number to reach God

Now I don't know if I should call collect

Or, if I call at all, will he reject me?

Proverbs says to never hold a grudge

And still we are commanded not to judge

Yet a man that I don't know

Says he knows where I'll go

If I don't believe in what he believes in...

I don't

I'm not sure about karma or divinity

Predestination ain't my belief

I'm weary about any soul for sale

But Lord, I know this, I can tell..

I believe in you!

Calee

Sitting below your window sill

Waiting for this hour to catch its thrill

You don't even know my name

Yet my heart still hopes that yours might feel the same

I stand here so confused

My heart feels torn, crushed and bruised

But I can't let these feelings show

And if I hide inside, then how can a love grow?

Have you ever

Have you ever fallen in love?

Have you ever

Have you ever had a broken heart?

The wind calls my heart a liar

But it could not put out this fire

My heart keeps crying out Calee

You just don't know how much

You really mean to me

Have you ever

Have you ever fallen in love?

Have you ever

Have you ever had a broken heart?

The castle walls begin to fall

(I see them falling down)

I can't help but stare at you calm through it all

(Now you see I'm standing here)

No barriers now in our way

(I go and try to speak the words, but all I do is say...)

And now that we are here, my heart can't help but say...

Have you ever

Have you ever fallen in love?

Have you ever

Have you ever had a broken heart?

Well, I'm still sitting here below your window sill

Waiting for our time to come, though I know it never will

If I could have changed the past to make the future bright

Then I could promise you all and be with you tonight

The Chance

Hello there,

I'm glad to meet you

I guess I should call you mom and dad

And I'm glad

You've given me this chance

To show the world what I have

And while I'm here,

I hope to make you proud

And I hope,

That I'll never let you down

For after all

I'm only human

You take me home

To our little castle

It's more than I ever thought there could be

And now I'm here

In this world I'll call home

To share with it all my dreams

And while I do,

I hope to make you proud

And I hope,

That I never let you down

For after all

I'm only human

After arguments and fights

Curfews and Prom night

Car keys and college plans

I've grown into a man.

And now I'm home

With my little child

He's laying still, here, in my arms

And as he sleeps,

I watch and smile

Praying he knows in his heart

That while he's here

He will always make me proud

And I know

That he'll never let me down

For after all

He's only human!

Chrissy, Goodnight

A smile that can't be erased

Her smile, it set into place

As she said, "I had the time of my life."

A book made of memories

Of sixteen years and one night to see

That she could have the time of her life.

Corsage pinned to her breast,

One night to confess

That she would have the time of her life.

Oh, where' s she gone to?

Oh, where's she now?

Is she still there dancing

On her own cloud, tonight?

A ballerina on daddy's feet

A little bride each Halloween

For she had the time of her life

To display a dress of lace,

The spotlight, she had a taste,

Oh, she did have the time of her life

Oh, where the princess?

Has she been crowned queen?

Is she the stars and the moon or

Somewhere in between, tonight?

She was one who had accepted Him

And her eyes were so full of peace

Her love light will not grow dim

Even while she silently sleeps

With memories of this colorful world

I know that this beautiful girl

Is smiling and having the time of her life

In a dream she comes to say,

"I can no longer visit this way,

But I'm OK"

And I'm having the time of my life.

Oh, hear her in the wind and the rain

See her in the twilight

Knowing she's OK

Makes me feel all right

And though she's far from sight

I know she's shining bright

Oh, Chrissy, Goodnight!

-In memory of Chrissy Boyce (1972-1988)

Death Waltz

On the night of the moon

On the night of the moon

We danced

We danced

We danced in the moonlight

We danced in our own right

We danced all despite

We danced 'cause we all die

On the night of the moon

On the night of the moon

We danced

We danced

We danced in the moonlight

We danced in our own right

We danced away our time

We danced to dream our lie

We danced for a life crime

We danced over the lines

We danced to praise our life

We danced on the inside

We danced to feel alive

We danced 'til we all

All of us died.

We danced...

Diamonds In Gold

"A commitment is a trap,

One should avoid the word

To avoid the wrap!"

But, without commitment where would be?

Some seem to think commitments

Keep one trustworthy.

With deceit and with lies

There's divorce and goodbyes

Vows are broken and sold

It's the added surprise

In her glimmering eyes

As she sees the stone and the gold.

Diamonds in gold

Encore

Oh, set the stage

We know our parts to play

But I think I heard you call for the next line.

I give it away

And trip on my own two feet

Fall flat on my face

Oh, well, maybe next time.

But if I take a bow, we are through

(The curtain will then fall)

It all comes down to me and you

(Will you make our curtain call)

And if I stick around, what will you do

(Will you give a little more)

I need to know now if I'm a fool

For playing in our encore.

You don't always take,

It could be my mistake,

But Lord knows you deserve an Oscar

I've delivered every line

But we don't seem to be in time

Could it be you want to find another partner.

But if I take a bow, we are through

(The curtain will then fall)

It all comes down to me and you

(Will you make our curtain call)

And if I stick around, what will you do

(Will you give a little more)

I need to know now if I'm a fool

For playing in our encore.

Everything

I love everything you have

Most women would give all to have half

But then you throw it all away

And act like I never came your way

But I love you

Lord knows, I do

I would give everything

Just for you to see

I've gone crazy about you

I've lost my mind

Couldn't be without you

Need you all of the time

Don't ever leave

Don't you know it's you I need

I love everything you do

Most women would give all to be you

But when you twist and turn form me

I don't know how I'll make you believe

That I love you

Lord knows, I do

I would give everything

Just for you to see

I've gone crazy about you

I've lost my mind

Couldn't be without you

Need you all of the time

Don't ever leave

Don't you know it's you I need

I love everything you have

Most women would give all to have half

I love everything you do

And most of all

I love you, I love you!!!

Fish In The Sea

I'd like to take a walk with you

And turn through the pages of my life

And when the details are all through

I'd like to make you my wife

I'd like to give you a rose

Together we could watch it bloom

And as the petals unfold

So would my love for you

I know the road I travel is a hard one at times

I was hoping you'd be holding my hand as I came through

I know there's a thousand fish in the sea that I could find

But there is only one you!

I'd like to take all of you

And fill you in with all of me

And we could be together, Just us two

And live our lives happily

I'd love to give to you a song

With a never ending melody

And as the words and tones go on and on

So would my love for thee

I know the road I travel is a hard one at times

I was hoping you'd be holding my hand as I came through

I know there's a thousand fish in the sea that I could find

But there is only one you!

I feel that you've been stolen away

The tears, they fall and my heart breaks

But I know

When the light comes shining through

I may fall

But I'll be landing with you

With all the love

In this world that makes us true

I will lose

'Cause I forfeit all to you.

There is only one you!!

The Game

I've never, ever felt

I've never felt this way before.

I never really quit was sure

I never thought it could happen to me

Such a big catastrophe

I guess love is what you need

When you're playing

The game!!!

I never thought I'd lose

But I fell into the trap of fools

I wonder if you understand

Maybe I'll go to Hell

And wrought inside a fiery cell

And maybe you'll be with me there

All because of

The game

I really know not well

Whether I should kiss and tell

I don't know what to do with you

Maybe I should work

And live my life as "the working jerk"

And we'd live happily ever after

With the result of

The game!!!

House Of Mirrors

Every day is a new day

In this house of honey gold

And the mirrors tell a story

Which has never before been told

And the walls sing and encompass me

In all their fire

And the laughter echoes down the hall

Until I retire

And you're here with me

The guitar falls on the floor

But doesn't break a string

And the snare starts its rattle

As the cymbal starts its sting

And the curtains on the windows

Start to shake and start to fold

We hear the end of the story

That the mirrors told

And I'm holding you

Every day is a new day

In this house of honey gold

In my house of mirrors.

If You See Sam, Tell Her Hello

It's been a long time

I really don't know when

The last time I saw her was

Or even what was said

But I know that I still smell her

Whenever my eyes are closed

So please,

If you see Sam, tell her hello.

I don't know if you remember

When she through me that party

We all got drunk and sang all night

And pretended to be on T.V.

She told me I was her best friend

And the star of her favorite show

So please,

If you see Sam, tell her hello

I recall that we bawled

The last night that we spent together

She cried as she said that I

Had ruined forever.

And I did.

It's been such a long time

But it feels like yesterday

When I last saw her

And she asked me just to stay

She said, "You know if you say goodbye

I'll have to let you go."

So if you see Sam, please tell her I meant hello.

I meant hello.

In Your Heart

Buying back the time

In which I once sold

Trying to decide

Whether love is brass or gold

Is it worth the pain

And is the pain worth the time?

Are we playing with our hearts

Or are we playing with our minds?

Tell me-

Am I in your heart?

Even though one day we may part

There's something you should know

I wanted to hold you before you go.

Sometimes I get upset

And I'll say things to you

That I know I'll regret

But when I look back

Into your brown eyes

I wonder if I could

Say another word unkind

Tell me-

Am I in your heart?

Even though one day we may part

There's something you should know

I wanted to hold you before you go.

Now I feel all alone

We don't have a love that's dead

But we don't have a love to grow

And now that you've come back

I need you to stay

And if it's love I feel

Say it can always be this way.

Tell me-

Am I in your heart?

Even though one day we may part

There's something you should know

I wanted to hold you before you go.

Is There Something

Every time I close my eyes

Fears come swelling up inside

I find I'm tangled in

A web that has control

Over all my heart and soul

Is there something I should know

Is there something?

Every time I realize

All my thoughts are skewed and dry

I'm the one believer

Whose faith has been outgrown

And my mind is bitter cold

Is there something I should know

Is there something?

Everyone gets scared some times

But finds a way to fight their fears

We can't find a fear that's easier to grow

Than facing the unknown and all its tiers.

Every time I take a breath

I imagine all regrets

Plaguing all my future

With endless, "I wish I would've" woes

"My time, where did it go?"

Is there something I should know?

Is there something?

Every time I hear goodbye

I have to wonder why

People can feel so empty

Some escaped the fold

Cracking through their mold

Is there something I should know?

Is there something?

The J.T. Song

Hi, Hey, Hello

It's me again, here I go

Down that road

That leads to nowhere

You saw me standing here

But I did not shed a tear

Because I saw you too.

You almost cracked a smile

But it didn't seem your style

So for awhile

We just played a staring game

Then my heart burst into flames

Who's to blame?

J.T.'s on the radio

And dinner's on the table

All the lights are turned down low

And my heart beat grows unstable

Because of you

I hope it's true

And I can smile

Dancing, trying to get you to sing

Trying for more than everything

Your presences brings

That flame that burns so much

No, I need not ever touch

It brings a bus from a buzz.

Weekend nights that should never end

But at least we were together

A serenade in a church den

How I wish it would last forever.

Because of you

I hope it's true

And I can smile

Kathy D.

Oh, Kathy

Are you happy

Have you finally found the one

To whom your heart belongs 

And he makes everything right?

Or Kathy

Are you lonely

Are you thinking about

Those infinite doubts

That could never leave your mind?

After all the years

With all those tears and joys

Let's not forget --

It was not all bad

And what we had

Had moments that were perfect

We've both moved on

But it seems so wrong

That we don't talk anymore

We never even call

Or see each other at all

But somehow I am sure

There's no more broken hearts

And no more crying

No more falling aparts.

No more broken hearts

And no more fighting

No more stops and starts

We'd stop and start,

Then stop and start.

Oh, Kathy

I'm so sorry

For anything I ever did that

Ever hurt you so.

Oh, Kathy

I still worry

About you and

How you are

Though I need to let you go

After all the years

With all those tears and joys

Let's not forget --

It was not all bad

And what we had

Had moments that were perfect

We've both moved on

But it seems so wrong

That we don't talk anymore

We never even call

Or see each other at all

But somehow I am sure

There's no more broken hearts

And no more crying

No more falling aparts.

No more broken hearts

And no more fighting

No more stops and starts

We'd stop and start,

Then stop and start.

When I wasn't feeling right

She'd come and hold me tight

And take me to another world

She'd sneak in without a sound

The shortest girl in town

Her name, I never found

But I always called her little girl

Well, little girl

I know you're coming

Little girl

You know I'm horny

Little girl

You must want me just the same

I always thought I'd be the boy

With a heart void of joy

But then she became my little toy

And I was so happy to play with her

After our playing time

She'd laugh and talk in rhyme

I never understood just why

But I knew what all the fun was for.

Well, little girl

I know you're coming

Little girl

You know I'm horny

Little girl

You must want me just the same

Love Is Dead part I

It's over.  Did it ever begin?

You're sobered by the pain of it.

What was it? Did it have a name?

What you called it can't be what was meant.

Foolish notions, it's over romanticized.

Go through the motions, creating what you find.

It's so helpless, it kind of makes you sick.

It's so worthless, what you put in it.

But it was your only answer.

It was to beat an end.

It was your tool to conquer

But love is dead.

Love is dead.

Love Is Dead part II

It's been a long time girl

Since you first cast your eyes on me

I remember motions we made

Like waves crashing on the sea

During a storm on the rise

Under a star filled sky

'Twas the sanctuary of your eyes

That made me feel

So surreal

But now I'm in my place

And I'm a believer

In what most do not hold faith

Some say I'm a dreamer

Or maybe a fool

Believing that love

Can concur all

And I have felt alone

The emptiness a bitter stain

But I've dried the tears

And held my breath

And tried to not complain

About this scaring crime

For which there was no fine

It was a clean get away

And the world of the vein

Still mach my pain

And says "Son that's what you get"

For being a believer

In what most do not hold faith

Some say I'm a dreamer

Or maybe a fool

Believing that love

Can concur all

Though the road I paved

Isn't one I made

I followed with all my hope

I never found the end

Though sometimes I ran

But once I did come close

And when it's gone and it's done

It's so hard to move on

And to feel those hopes again

And at the fork in the road

I felt so alone

'Cause I discovered love is dead.

Mind Off

I can't seem to get my mind off of you

No matter what I try to do

I can't seem to get my mind off of you

I've been imprisoned in my heart and in my mind

So many years have come and gone and I'm

Still doing time

Why can't I leave

Moving's my only crime?

I can't seem to get my mind off of you

No matter what I say or do

I can't seem to get my mind off of you

I can feel you in my heart

But it's still hard to believe

Mother Earth 

I know you want me

Don't you dare try to lie

You know I need you

You know that I'm on fire

I'll try to tempt you

And you understand good

You had to give in

Though you tried the best you could

No one ever told me that I would feel this way

But when I try to deny it, I know I'm losing face

You know you dream it

You know you need it bad

Everything you've wanted

You know that's what I have

I've tried to free you

But can you tell me why

You'll say you love me

After I say goodbye

I don't know how it's supposed to be

How am I supposed to try and act naturally?

When I have traveled my whole life

For you, Mother Earth

I've done all I can

And you pushed on my desire

For you, Mother Earth

Now let me be a man

And I swear I've the desire

So true, Mother Love

But I'm losing control.

I know that I'm right

For you, Mother Earth

Just don't let me go
