As the sheriff rides up to the house I think of how I’ll miss them and I hope they’’ll member me for better things Like how I held her little hands and kissed her tiny face and all the little songs we used to sing But a man lies dead on the porch and his blood is on the grass Now my father tells me son you’ll have to pay for all your sins or else you’ll have them visited upon your kin I ran into the parlor and I asked my little baby daughter can you live with all your daddy did The sheriff put his hand upon my shoulder and said son it’s time to go when I’m gone sing a song and please forgive the things I’ve done just don’t forget me please don’t forget me Sing aloud sing and shout I’ll be humble I’ll be proud just don’t forget me don’t forget me As I sit here in this tiny cell I’m waiting for the verdict and I’m hoping that they’ll see my point of view the man I shot he threatened all my children and he told me that my wife will beg that he would kill her too so I put a bullet fast and deep into the evil place that the thought was formed when I’m gone sing a song and please forgive the things I’ve done just don’t forget me please don’t forget me Sing aloud sing and shout I’ll be humble I’ll be proud just don’t forget me don’t forget me Now I’m standing in the gallows underneath the nooses shadow waiting for the pardon that won’t come Jesus I’ve not asked for nothing now I’m begging you for something Keep my baby girls all safe and warm give them all the peace and love that I myself couldn’t give them on my own when I’m gone sing a song and please forgive the things I’ve done just don’t forget me please don’t forget me Sing aloud sing and shout I’ll be humble I’ll be proud just don’t forget me don’t forget me

I sit here watching you sit there watching everyone but me so you can’t see me smile but I know something you’re beautiful and I’m not so I leave and I wave goodbye but someday you will be my little valentine You’ll think I’m crazy but I’m the one who calls you two and I’m the one who’s breathing on the line And someday maybe you’ll feel for me the way I feel for you and you will be my little valentine I’m walking you home I’m twenty steps behind so you can’t know how you’re safe and warm I just can’t help it I need to know you’re happier than me I need to know you’re sheltered from the storm Now you turn and smile at me I don’t know what to do you say you’ve seen me watching you and now you’re watching me

You lay beside me but we seem so far apart I didn’t know the words I said would break your heart I turn to tell you that you're beautiful to me but my pride gets in the way. I’ll sit here all night long sing the same old songs never looking back to see you falling from my arms the nights are longer now that darling you’re not here and now our distance can be measured in light years I’m sending signals that you’ll probably never see Please come back to me I’ll sit here all night long sing the same old songs never looking back to see you falling from my arms and now you’re with some other guy and all the things that he can buy but does he know just how to make you smile or does he make you cry I’ll sit here all night long sing the same old songs never looking back to see you falling from my arms

Sending love Across the only pathways he has known Safe in flight Surrounded by the clouds that he calls home But on the ground The secret’s that he guarded has been found Now they’re out He wakes to find he’s helpless gagged and bound Superman is going to die We’re watching as his cape’s falling from the sky The villains have been organized Their singing as the heroes widow cries Now there he lay On satin pillows colored red and gold Forever gone We’ll never know just our future holds Superman has gone and died We watched him as his cape's falling from the sky The villains have been organized Their singing as the heroes widow dies And he's never coming back No he'sever coming back No he's never coming back We’re losing the war To the men in black Superman has gone and died We watched him as his cape's falling from the sky The villains have been organized Their singing as the heroes widow dies

on the night when he first saw her at the wedding of a friend she was all the things he’d asked for from the angel maker’s hands but the 20 years between them was a scandal and a sin to the friends that stood around them throwing stones into the wind But the years they have between them seem to vanish with the days and the whispers and the haters voices set their hearts ablaze when she smiles he knows it’s worth it when he holds her she’s content and the love they share between them must have been from heaven sent When he sees her in the morning when she’s standing in the door the flaws she tries so hard to hide makes him love her even more she’s smart and she is beautiful adventurous and fun and the ways he says I love you makes her know that he’s the one But the years they have between them seem to vanish with the days and the whispers and the haters voices set their hearts ablaze when she smiles he knows it’s worth it when he holds her she’s content and the love they share between them must have been from heaven sent and they’re growing old together and he may be older still and he knows what they say cause he’s going grey but he’s not yet over the hill But the years they have between them seem to vanish with the days and the whispers and the haters voices set their hearts ablaze when she smiles he knows it’s worth it when he holds her she’s content and the love they share between them must have been from heaven sent

even after 20 years I’m still thinking of the summer of regrets It all started with a kiss and our sweaty arms around each others necks for that I won’t apologize I know your name means quiet but your smile was always calling out my name and then one summer day when my folks were gone our sparks turned a flame and then to shame and I’m sorry I didn’t call you back that day and I’m sorry for the things I didn’t say and I’m sorry it wasn’t meant to end this way in that summer of regrets You called me on the phone but my father told you junior’s not at home you were scared cause you were late and the things I said were were just a heavy weight a heavy weight and I’m sorry I didn’t call you back that day and I’m sorry for the things I didn’t say and I’m sorry it wasn’t meant to end this way in that summer of regrets in the 9 months you were gone my world changed and you moved on our summer thing was now a fog but I still missed you but the questions that you asked are always haunting my old past like when you left where did you go and was it ‘cause of me now after all these years I still wonder if there’s someone I should meet is she funny is she fair does she have my eyes or auburn colored hair

How are you feeling tonight under the spell of a chemical high your eyes start to sparkle your smile is so wide it’s only a matter of time under these thin sheets you lie Wrapped up in cotton and sensors and wires you ask for a pencil and you start to write you told me it was alright you said Goodnight sunshine don’t cry I’m fine I’ll see you again when it comes your time so sing a lullaby your laughter is making me cry I’m counting the breaths that you take as you fight I try to be strong but my eyes are on fire you point to your words and you smile Goodnight sunshine don’t cry I’m fine I’ll see you again when it comes your time so sing me a lullaby You’ve passed the ceiling on the wings of an angel you never turned back I want to lay here in the warmth that fading from your lovely face Goodbye sunshine don’t cry I’m fine I’ll see you again when it comes your time so sing me a lullaby Goodnight sunshine don’t cry I’m fine I’ll see you again when it comes your time so sing me a lullaby

Down past the lake where we both told the truth we’re not the same and we’ll bury the fragments of proof Driving back home no one knows where we’ve been you know what to say silence you know is golden Someday I pray we’ll forget what we’ve done Forgive me How could we Ever feel that we’ve won the questions they’d ask if they knew what we knew under this mask there’s a scar in my soul left by you Someday I pray we’ll forget what we’ve done Forgive me How could we Ever feel that we’ve won

Stepping high through the darkness it’s getting colder by the hour throwing stones at the shadows too afraid to start a fire we’ll start a fire is there no solution cept on the firing line can’t you just forget this just give me one more time tripping over wires Stepping on the landmines falling in the craters the product of our lies heavy heart from the burden taking more than I’ve brought I couldn’t ask for forgiveness cause then I know I’d been caught I’ve been caught is there no solution cept on the firing line can’t we just forget this just give me one more time tripping over wires Stepping on the landmines falling in the craters the product of the lies There’s a part of me where are you now no one can see I’m waiting here a secret place in my heart for you tripping over wires Stepping on the landmines falling in the craters the product of the lies

counting down the minutes til we punch the clock again my brain had ceased to function til I got your text and then time stood still my heart beat fast now nothing really matters cause I’ll see your face tonight I’ll meet you at the show Tonight and wherever you may roam Tonight and when it’s time to go I’ll walk you safely home you texted OMG you made me ROTFL I didn’t have an answer so I texted LOL I’m wishing I could hear your voice but I guess I’ll have to wait until I see your face tonight You cast your spell I’m rendered useless you don’t understand one more kiss just one more time let’s not forget tonight Tonight I’ll meet you at the show Tonight and wherever you may roam Tonight and when it’s time to go I’ll walk you safely home

watching you sleep taking little breaths and I think can I teach you things I’ve only now just learned I’m holding tight throughout the ride you turn to tell me it’s alright I hope you know it’s worth the fights we’ll fight the day you walk away One prayer for your love one prayer for your time and I pray you will understand I’m really on your side I’m holding tight throughout the ride you turn to tell me it’s alright I hope you know it’s worth the fights we fight the day you walk away One heartbeat away One step to the edge of the world and these crashing waves won’t bring you peace tonight You’re holding tight throughout the night I turn to tell you it’s alright I hope you know it’s worth the fight we fight the day you walk away You’re holding tight throughout the ride I turn to tell you it’s alright I hope you know it’s worth the fights we fight the day you walk away

you’re much too kind but it’s time to say goodnight but your too strong and I forget it Deep inside I can barely see the light if there were signs I couldn’t read it your love it’s like A punch and it knocks me out I’m lost in your eyes I’m down count it one two three One more time then I’ll have to say goodnight I’m barely conscious and you know it you know I’m weak I don’t think that I can fight I think I’ll need a paramedic your love it’s like A punch and it knocks me out I’m lost in your eyes I’m down count it one two three

When I look on the crashing waves I think how they’ve made us slaves we’re just living out today on the compost of yesterday the barons they love to play on the backs of the underpaid at least that’s what we used to say on the top of the heap today The sun goes down on this sleepy seaside town and the surf is singing me to sleep tonight the wind and rain won’t bother me again til I wake up knowing everything's alright Now I’m back to the island way I traded my car away for a bike and a boat today on this island I’ll pass away The sun goes down on this sleepy seaside town and the surf is singing me to sleep tonight the wind and rain won’t bother me again til I wake up knowing everything's alright One small step toward the limits toward the limits Could we build everything we love right here

strapped in for the ride seconds dragging by oh oh waiting for the count leaving earth behind oh oh feeling the pull of gravity let me go floating above the cities we’ve built below counting stars outside feeling small inside oh oh I simply can’t describe all I do is cry oh oh feeling the pull of gravity let me go floating above the cities we’ve built below holding my my breath dancing on air tonight

Week 46 - The Wreckage walking through the lane taking shakey pictures of the city streets and towering trees Copper into silver silver into gold our wanderlust has led me to my knees you couldn’t answer yes I watched you nod your head and you looked so confused a bit amused the beginning of the end was started there that day but how could I know what could I do or say I wander down through the wreckage that was scattered round and I couldn’t see past the fallout that’s now raining down on me All the lovers say they couldn’t get much closer to the one they love I know it’s true Cause who but you could ever answer my old letters with a numbered guide of the ways I’ve let you down I wander down through the wreckage that was scattered round and I couldn’t see past the fallout that’s now raining down on me I couldn’t let you think you’d won the war I couldn’t let you walk away with more I didn’t think you would set your sights on me or that you would go and drop the bomb on me just the other day someone asked me if I’d ever called you up I could not say there’s nothing I can do my hands are tied and now it seems your mind’s made up Your words they linger on I wander down through the wreckage that was scattered round and I couldn’t see past the fallout that’s now raining down on me

Summer’s gone and now we’re moving on to long cold days and colder nights I count the days til it’s warm again it’s three long months might as well be ten now I’m dreaming bout Sunny days starry nights lying out on your front porch running through the summer rain and feel the sun come out again. Sleeping in Is this a sin to waste the day all safe and warm just one more hour or maybe more can I just stay here all day long cause I’m dreaming bout Sunny days starry nights lying out on your front porch running through the summer rain and feel the sun come out again. maybe we warm ourselves by the fire or we could snuggle up real close darling we could bundle up real tight Can’t we just agree that it’s a better day when we can feel the solar rays and the birds are singing right beside Sunny days starry nights lying out on your front porch running through the summer rain and feel the sun come out again.

after the thing the other day I didn’t know just what to say how could I know how could I know I’m coming around to to understand the situation’s out of hand and I’m not ready to let go Thanks for the times where you tried to make it right and thanks for the smiles and the sentiments and I’m sorry I can’t say that everything’s okay but life goes on anyway I’m disappointed in the ways we find to push ourselves away the wall we’ve built is much too high but there are things that you should know that I can’t say and cannot show cause I’ve been broken for so long Thanks for the times where you tried to make it right and thanks for the smiles and the sentiments and I’m sorry I can’t say that everything’s okay but life goes on anyway I know it’s awkward but I can’t describe just how much you mean to me I know there’s probably nothing I can say please please please believe Thanks for the times where you tried to make it right and thanks for the smiles and the sentiments and I’m sorry I can’t say that everything’s okay but life goes on anyway

I woke up on the morning after turkey day was gone he just sat there grinning at me all day long then I heard about the story how he’s keeps his eyes on me who is he he’s the elf on the shelf he was sitting on the stairs and he was hanging from the blinds everything that he is doing blows my mind he was having tea with Barbie he was in my underwear he’s the troublemaking Elf on the Shelf Every night he talks to Santa so you better be real good and you better eat your supper you should really clean your room or you’ll end up on the naughty list you know that’s never good so be good for the elf on the shelf So I’m hoping that he saw me being kind to barbara sue and I’m hoping that sees the good I do But does Santa know the trouble that this little elf has caused this troublemaking elf on the shelf Every night he talks to Santa so you better be real good and you better eat your supper you should really clean your room or you’ll end up on the naughty list you know that’s never good so be good for the elf on the shelf Now I’m laying in my bed and I’m bundled up real tight I am stoked and I can barely close my eyes but I’m know that he is leaving and I’m just a little sad say goodbye to the elf on the shelf Every night he talks to Santa so you better be real good and you better eat your supper you should really clean your room or you’ll end up on the naughty list you know that’s never good so be good for the elf on the shelf

Here's another song That you'll probably never hear These loving words are Falling on deaf ears All the things I love about you They won't make you smile today Cause you'll never even read the things I say So feel free to sing along To the song you'll never hear It could use your pretty voice To bring a tear I wish that you could know All the things I feel inside But I know you'll never hear it in this song But if I should pass away you’ll read every word I pray and my ghostly voice will sing you right to sleep and you’ll member all the ways that I tried so hard to say you were always so perfect in my eyes So feel free to sing along To the song you'll never hear It could use your pretty voice To bring a tear I wish that you could know All the things I feel inside But I know you'll never hear it in this song

Well nothing can prepare you for the ultimate fight But someones got stand up tonight It’s time to dig in deeper with all of our might it’s time to watch them run for their lives no waving flags no standing down no one surrenders no one’s backing up from the fight Oh the feeling inside In the midst of the fight When you know that you're right no one could predict it the dangers aside the villains riding high in the night fingers on the trigger and fire in my eyes they’ll never find a safe place to hide I say reach for the sky your knees on the ground Please don't ask why Just pray I'll let you live through the night Oh the feeling inside In the midst of the fight When you know that you're right Oh, it’s time to bed down for the night round the fires that we’ve built in the trenches tonight Oh, can I rest on your shoulder til light or we’ll run, til we crash on the beaches tonight Oh the feeling inside In the midst of the fight When you know that you're right

It’s worth looking back on the moments in time with friends and the folks in our lives so lets take a minute we’ll all sing a line One more time The songs that we’ve written bout women and friends and songs bout our past and our kin it’s brought us together let’s do it again one more time one more time one more time let’s all gather round let’s all make a sound one more time The year’s about over just moments until and every year gets shorter still but let’s gather round let’s all make a sound one more time one more time one more time let’s all gather round let’s all make a sound one more time and if nobody listens I guess that’s just fine as long as I have you on the back line So let’s raise a toast to the memories we made and we’ll twirl round our lovers now let’s promenade let’s rock this one last time. one more time one more time let’s all gather round let’s all make a sound one last time I’m just an old punk with this guitar in hand and here at this mic I will stand when this is all over I’ll do it again one more time
