    “My One Intention”

    I don’t want you to love me
    I don’t want you to hold me
    I only want things that can be true
    This faceless crowd annoys me
    It bugs and trys to destroy me
    I wonders aimlessly in the dark
    But since the inquisition
    Here’s my one intention
    To find out what the future
    Wants to bring

    Inside the heart of darkness
    I found a willing accomplice
    She said the jewels are in the sea
    We swam out to the ocean
    We bounced and loved the motion
    We sang the songs that set us free
    And when its time to leave her
    I’ll sleep alone and grieve the
    Magic in her eyes that free my soul
    Driving down to Bill’s apartment
    The place of our embarkment
    An adventure that requires that we let

  • Another Night, Another Song Idea, “After the Love is Gone”

    After The Love is Gone by spickeringlr

    They won’t leave me alone!!! I couldn’t even finish Saturday Night Live tonight with Charles Barkley for fear of forgetting it. And then I have this new thing, whenever I start a few lyrics I’m obsessed to finish the whole song. It’s a good habit, but annoying.

    Here’s the first draft of lyrics:

    After the love is gone
    After the love is gone away
    I need some place to hide
    A secret guide to another place
    With all that’s said and done
    I still remember the fun we had
    Tears and laughter too
    All was possible with you
    You taught me about myself
    That there is something else to find
    You helped me believe in me
    Encouragement to realize my dream
    Bridge:
    And though it feels so empty without you
    You gave me the strength to know what to do
    All the love you gave to me
    Allowed me to set my heart free
    After the love is gone
    After the love is gone away
    There’s a sweet sadness
    But priceless gift I’ve found a way
    Won’t forget your eyes
    They carried the bluest skies of faith
    Yeah sometimes I’m blue
    But I carry you in my heart always
    So after the loving’s gone
    I always will be strong though its through
    The fire’s still burning bright
    All through the winter’s night ’cause of you.

  • New Song Idea, Working Title “I Feel You”

    Man, it seems like every night, song ideas pop into my head that I feel the need to get out. It feels good to get them out, like if I didn’t they would fester and wreak havic down in my subconscious, cutting off my future creative energy. So really as much as a result, it’s about a process. That’s what Blake tried to get across. The creative process. “Don’t fall in love with your own creation.” And its really freeing not to. It allows you to have fun with whatever your working on.

    First Draft Lyrics,

    I Think I Feel You
    I hear you’re looking so fine on the cinnamon line
    I hear you’re peeling you’re heart away
    I want you so much but I’m feeling so rough
    From another wounded holiday
    When you come over tonight, ‘wanna hold you tight
    Don’t want you to feel you gotta walk away
    Looking through town feeling down like a clown
    But it was just another sad display
    {And once I did it wrong
    I knew the first verse of the song
    And once I had it all
    I gave it to a bum for whiskey and malt
    I know that you do, and I know that it’s true
    You’ve always had a funky retro soul
    I found out about him through the grapevine of friends
    And now I have no other place to go
    I want to see you again, you’re such an endearing young gem
    You give me hope not to dwell upon things
    If it works out just right, I’ll be leaving tonight
    And won’t worry what the future brings

  • A New Song I Just Wrote called “Union Street”

    The buildings can’t stand the heat
    The true love is all we need
    Gonna rise up and kill this weed
    It’s the nature of the beast

    So hold on
    Just hold on
    My love

    Wanna take you to Union Street
    Wanna get out out on our feet
    I can treat you to something sweet
    I can love you and never leave

    And hold on ….

    Oh when it seems like there’s a mission don’t play dumb
    And when it seems like there’s a reason
    That’s when you run

    After answers the evening Sun
    Wanna find out what’s been down
    To our sweetheart who’s never come
    Our own extention to a truth that’s wrong

    To Hold on, just to hold on

    And after you leave won’t be the same
    After the flowers and the pouring rain
    I could’ve kissed when what’s been done
    I could’ve kissed you in the evening Sun

    Hold on…..

    {You need to take that when you’re done
    ‘Cause all the rabbits are on the run

    You need to take that rabid smile down when you leave
    Union Street…..

    When you’ve crack that smile love’s left you when she says goodbye
    It don’t take no mind of the teardrops that redden your eye
    Or the mourning night, or the mourning night.

    I wanna take you under the trees
    I wanna take you down by the sea
    I wanna get out of this town
    I wanna see what’s going down

    Follow me, c’mon and follow me….

  • Oh Honey

    Oh honey, oh dear,
    Whatcha’ been doin’
    Since you been here?

    You like sunny
    Eyes blue as the sea
    Tell me stories so funny
    So I can laugh and sing

    It’s cold and it’s snowin’
    We gotta chance to be free
    There’s a fire that’s still glowin’
    On the inside of me

    We’ll drink from the bottle
    Vintage Pouilly Fouisse
    We’ll swim through the oceans
    And dance in the valley

    Chorus:
    Over the hills and into the trees
    Riding so high, feeling so free
    Don’t turn around I want you to see
    Just what you mean to me.

    Mountains covered with sunshine
    Hills covered in snow
    Wind singing like angels
    Singing things we should know

    I wanna take you forever
    I wanna take you to sea
    Round ’bout like the angels
    Filled with harmony

    It’ll be so funny
    It’ll be so clear
    When we’re walkin’ on Sunshine
    When we’re walkin’ on air

    Oh honey, oh dear
    Whatcha’ been doin’
    Since you been here?

    You’re so funny
    You’re so sweet
    Lips like honey
    Eyes like the sea.

  • Where are You Goin’?

    Where are you goin’?
    Where are you runnin’ to?
    Aww, it’s me and you.

    Where are you goin’?
    What are you gonna do?
    Aww it’s me and you.

    The color’s open
    A peach I made for you
    From the morning dew

    The summer’s over
    But you still feel the white and blue
    Aww, it’s brimming through

    {bridge}

    The sky is open
    The sun is shining through
    The night is over
    The valley comes in view
    We talk it over
    Don’t know what we’re gonna do.

    The sun is shining
    So bright and green and blue
    Aww, I wanted you

    The Sun is shining
    So bright and green and blue
    Aww, I wanted to

    The sky is open
    The Sun is shining through
    My mind is flowing
    Here’s what we’re gonna’ do
    The sky is open
    This time we’ll slip right through
