Hard Days

These are hard days
And the long hot summer goes on forever
Always never say always
In these days when there is nothing to hold onto

Only me only you
Through all these claims of permanence
And justifiable innocence
Just to hold onto
All that they left for you

People come people go
Nothing is constant the river flows
Sadness there is sadness in time
And glory is so unbecoming

Only me only you
Through all these claims of permanence
And justifiable innocence
Just to hold onto
All that they left for you

On the edge overtime
Looking out watching the passing years
Sadness there is sadness in time
But where is the peace in our time

Only me only you
Through all these claims of permanence
And justifiable innocence
Just to hold onto
All that they left for you

Fifteen words

Little crowds of hopeless dancers
Stepping out of time
One by one the feeble poets
Talking up the calm
Newspaper tell the stories of a queen they did not crown
Everybody searching for a key that can never be found

Fifteen words to every line
Fifteen words to every line

Yesterday the world was waiting
Lying at my door
Come tomorrow now we are facing hope where has it gone
Little children stare back at me with hope gone in their eyes
I can still taste the salty tears I cried

Fifteen words to every line
Fifteen words to every line

They say it is a bitter wind that blows in the promises of the mind
And I can still see my little hand reaching out towards the sun
What it was that I could be I cannot recall
And what it was they said to me makes no sense at all

Fifteen words to every line
Fifteen words to every line

Walk with you

Push back the fear
Tread softly on air
Hold on to those things
And the hands of those who walk with you
I can be last for words
When I wear my heart like a medal
Always pushing never waiting
Always on the road before I reach the saddle

May time always walk with you?
May the light help guide you through?
And may my heart have touched your soul

When you floating when your feet don’t touch the ground
As you are growing like a flowers seek the sun
When your memories fill your waking moments
When the sadness sits heavy on your shoulders

May time always walk with you?
May the light help guide you through?
And may my heart have touched your soul

As your are rushing finding no time in the day
When your walking you don’t know which way
When your sleeping and your dreams are crashing waves
As your singing and as you walk away

May time always walk with you?
May the light help guide you through?
And may my heart have touched your soul
