Love Button (2020)

“Like button” - “Love button”
“Like button” - “Love button”
Sexy little posts - hints of dynamite
So I respond in kind
Where does she get those crazy little devils
She puts at the end of her text line
I used to notice flowers
Now they’re flaming hearts and devils
Start to disconnect and I say - next time …
I always hit the “like” button - I’m kinda shy
But I’m gonna hit her “love” button - next time
Gonna wait around - she’s gonna come online
Then I’ll hit the “love” button - hit the “love” button
Gonna hit the “love” button - next time, yeah
“Like button” - “Love button”
“Like button” - “Love button”
Really has a flair - the way she builds her words
Her punctuation’s fine
So where does she get those steamy little devils
She puts all over her text lines
Power to the planet
Power to the people
I’ll have to plan it better when my heart’s on the line
I always hit the “like” button - I’m kinda shy
But I’m gonna hit her “love” button - next time
Gonna wait around - she’s gonna come online
Then I’ll hit the “love” button - hit the “love” button
Gonna hit the “love” button - next time, yeah
Funky little flowers are flaming hearts and devils
Heart’s all horse, reins on fire
Hot, cold sweats, get me to a medic
Better keep ‘em close when I’m here online
“Like button” - “Love button”
“Like button” - “Love button”
“Like button” - “Love button”
“Like button” - “Love button”
“Like button” - “Love button”
“Like button” - “Love button”
“Like button” - “Love button”
“Like button” - “Love button”

Cypress Moon (2020)
03:16
|
|||
Under your Cypress moon
Look at you - how you shine
Stars are out on display
And every one sends a sign
Love notes to you - under your Cypress moon
It's been a long, long road
Not always sunny and warm
Saved all the brightest rays
To shield my heart in a storm
I send it to you to show to your Cypress moon
Light up your candle
Show me the way
Just keep it burning for me
I'll be there in a jiffy and a shake
Light up your candle
Show me the way
Just keep it burning for me
I'll be there in a jiffy and a shake
Under your Cypress moon
Night air to warm your soul
Soft music on the breeze
Every song you know
Here's one I wrote for you and your Cypress moon
Here's one I wrote for you ...
Here's one I wrote for you.

Birthday Song (2021)
02:58
|
|||
One little cake - one little party crown
One little cat with a grin
If I get a guest I'm sure I'll have a heart attack
Nobody knows where I live
And so the angels got together
"Let's see what we can do ..."
They scaled back the clouds
Pasted in a sun
And a pencil crayon coloured in the Peacock Blue
And then they trained the birds in my backyard
To sing ... Happy Birthday to me
Every bird on every tree - Happy Birthday to me
Happy Birthday to me ...
Last little drink from a big red coffee cup
Then get to work on my day
Sit on the patio - birds all wondering
Which guitar I'll play
And well, the gang all got together
"Let's see what we can do ..."
They scaled back the clouds
Pasted in a sun
And a pencil crayon coloured in the Peacock Blue
And then they trained the birds in my backyard
To sing ... Happy Birthday to me
Every bird on every tree - Happy Birthday to me
And then they trained the birds in my backyard
To sing ... Happy Birthday to me
Every bird on every tree - Happy Birthday to me
Every bird on every tree ...

Christmas Lights (2021)
03:26
|
|||
Snow stuck around my little town
Setting the scene for Christmas
Tinsel galore, wreath on the door
The most wonderful time of the year
Middle school choir invaded the mall
Singing - Oh - Holy - Night
The stores are all closing
I'm busy shopping
Looking for Christmas lights
Shopped for a toy - small orphan boy
Anonymous Santa this Christmas
Metal toy train dipped in red paint
A friend to last all through the years
Little town choir with angels on high
Singing - Oh - Holy - Night
I'm walking home
Treasures in tow
And ... I found some Christmas lights
Here's to the wise men who followed the star
Seek and you will find
More than a baby born in a stable
The first Christmas light
So - snow's coming down in my pretty town
Just a few sleeps 'til Christmas
One little tree is perfect for me
I've kept it for all of these years
Church choir aided by angels on high
Singing - Oh - Holy - Night
When I get home
I'll write a song
One about Christmas lights
So - here's to the wise men who followed the star
Seek and you will find
More than a baby born in a stable
The first Christmas light
Snow stuck around in my pretty town
Just one more sleep ' til Christmas

Expecting Rain (2022)
03:26
|
|||
It's blazing hot, crazy sunny outside
The boys are into the grain
But I'm expecting rain -
Weatherman says the lord’s on his side
So he’s predicting more of the same
But I’m expecting rain -
Been a dog’s long life since I heard from the girl
Hoping nothing has changed
But my letters go unanswered
I’m expecting rain -
Postman bops by shaking his head
Says there’s nothing today
But I’m expecting rain
Said she’d write a letter in Mexico City
Then mail it when she got into Spain
But I’m expecting rain
Been a dog’s long life since I heard from the girl
Hoping nothing has changed
But my letters go unanswered
I’m expecting rain -
I’m expecting rain -
Hey hey - yeah
I remember that look through the steam on the glass
As you took to your seat on the train
I remember those words on the back of a photo
As you pressed it tight to the pane
Been a dog’s long life since I heard from the girl
Hoping nothing has changed
But my letters go unanswered
I’m expecting rain -
My letters go unanswered
My letters go unanswered
I’m expecting rain -
I’m expecting rain

I - get lost
Every time I hear that name
I get nervous
The walls close in
I’m all kite in the wind
I - can’t find
A place where I fit it
Close my eyes
Watch her walking
I’m all kite in the wind
Kite in the wind
Until she comes to reel me in
Just a kite in the wind
Nothing more …
I - have tried
Time and time again
The halls are haunted
And I can’t breathe
I’m all kite in the wind
All - this time
Path was not in vain
Dreams don’t die
They just keep on truckin’
And I’m all kite in the wind
Kite in the wind
Until she comes to reel me in
Just a kite in the wind
Nothing more …
Kite in the wind
Until she comes and reels me in
Just a kite in the wind
Nothing more … nothing more
Kite in the wind
Until she comes and reels me in
Just a kite in the wind
Nothing more …
Kite in the wind
But will she come to reel me in
Just a kite in the wind
Nothing more … nothing more …nothing more … nothing more

Stranded on a rock
Miles from the shore
Marooned at sea - paddle's out of reach
Now it's gonna storm
Behind your wall
Cracks will show
Fresh lick of paint - all's new again
Pray nobody knows … tell me …
Why'd they go and leave you stranded, baby
With half a heart -
Abandoned here and stranded, baby
With half a heart
Stranded on a rock
Afraid of falling down
Water's icy cold - it's treacherous below
The sharks are all around — yeah, yeah —
My, my … my, my …
Well, you’re not sure what you hear
And you're not sure what you see
Swimming with the sharks is not where you want to be
Swimming with the sharks is not where you want to be
C’mon, tell me …
Why'd they go and leave you stranded, baby
With half a heart -
Abandoned here and stranded, baby
With half a heart
Why'd they go and leave you stranded, baby
With half a heart -
Abandoned here and stranded, baby
With half a heart
Why'd they go and leave you stranded ...
Why'd they go and leave you stranded, baby
With half a heart -
Abandoned here and stranded, baby
With half a heart — tell me —
Why'd they go and leave you stranded, baby
With half a heart
Abandoned here and stranded, baby
With half a heart
Half a heart, yeah … baby, half a heart
Half a heart, yeah … baby, half a heart
Why’d they go and leave you stranded …

There once was a word
In the land of make believe
Wondered about it
All the time
Word was in fables
In text I could not read
Just kept me guessing
All the time
Word was spoken all the time
Book just kept on closing all the time
Seems like I’m moving
Maybe find my “okay”
Keep myself waiting
All the time
Can’t seem to shake it
It all comes into play
Close enough to miss it
All the time
Still I listen for it all the time
Word is getting closer all the time
Listen for it - eyes wide open
Ancient tongues that spoke it all the time
Ears that listen for it all the time
Listen for it - and eyes wide open
Still I listen for it all the time
All the time …
Still I listen for it all the time
I listen for it all the time

Sending My Heart
03:54
|
|||
Da da da da da ta ta ta tum
Snow’s on the ground and old man winter’s ..
Just - spreading his blanket over my head
You’re out there .. oh so sad and blue
Shall I - send my heart out to you ..
It’s nice to know you’re still writing
I used to be - head over heels in love with you
You’re falling apart .. what’s a girl to do
Shall I - send my heart out to you ..
Any old way you want it
I’ll send it by bus or mail
Any old way you want it
I’ll send it by plane or rail
It don’t matter which way - it’ll get through
If I - send my heart out to you
Da da da da da ta ta ta tum
Courting a storm without a shelter
I was - closest to cold I ever knew
You put your heart in a jar .. the jar it broke in two
Shall I - send my heart out to you
Any old way you want it
I’ll send it by bus or mail
Any old way you want it
I’ll send it by plane or rail
It don’t matter which way - it’ll get through
If I send my heart out to you
Da da da da da ta ta ta tum
Sending my heart out to you ..
Sending my heart out to you ..
Sending my heart out to you ..
Yes, I’m - sending my heart out to you
