Never's Here 04:19
Too bad it's all going to end some day With your luck it's gonna fall apart some way You knew it would fail even before the start Well the role is cast and you're just playing the part But that's what you get when you're your own darkest cloud What do you expect when you put the lid on now And it never seems your dreams come true And you'll never get a better view Well never, Never's here again Stuck in a rut so afraid to make your move You need to turn the page find another groove If someone came along and showed you had it wrong you know you'd still disapprove So what's it going to be time for you to choose So that's what you get When you won't give fate a chance What did you expect When you refuse to choose to dance and you'll never get that one big break cuz you'll never learn from one mistake Well never, Never's here again And it looks like Never's here again Yeah it looks like Never's here again Warm winds never blow to these faraway reaches The snow never falls on the western beaches But never, Never's here again So that's what you get when you're your own darkest cloud What did you expect when you put the lid on now And you'll never know how good it gets If you can't live life without regrets Well never, Never's here again And it looks like Never's here again Yeah it looks like Never's here again Warm winds never blow to these faraway reaches The snow never falls on the western beaches But never, Never's here again

If I had the answers for you Do you think you’d want to know what they were? And if I didn’t ask you questions Do you think that you’d feel more secure? And if I didn’t try to show you How happy you could be Would you leave a door or window Cracked open for me? If I backed myself way off Stopped the letters and put down the phone If you weren’t my Facebook friend If I left you all alone Would you see that you missed me A knocking opportunity Sitting, waiting patiently ‘Til you discover me So when you take the time to straighten out Those thoughts in your head And you’ve mustered up the strength to say What needs to be said Take a break and be alone Relax and unwind And when you’ve figured out the man you want I hope you’ll keep me in mind Oooh keep me mind So there it is, and now you know it Guess that I’m your not-so-secret admirer Seems the all admiration Is making you so tired But I can’t help but wonder What lies ahead these days So I’ll just take a few steps back But I can’t walk away Can’t walk away

Three Words 05:18
How do I say what my heart feels And can I back it up with something real? Briefness of time tries to deter But I can’t hide from these three words It’s like a fire, I feel it burn A growing storm the waters churn You know the things I wanna say This is a game that I can’t play Three words can Melt hearts or make promises to broken later and.. Three words mean Nothing at all Or everything at once Thought about it now for some time Can’t believe out worlds aligned Get up the nerve to toss the verb I wanna share with you these loaded words Three words can Change friends into lovers or fighters Three words mean You built the bridge or you burned it down behind you The brakes are off Im upshifting So take my trust and do good things And if the waters become stirred Remember me and these three words I’d like that, thinking about you, I love you I’d like that, thinking about you, I love you

Making Sense 03:23
Up here on The Sound I miss the sight of you Out here on this highway Of liquid green and blue And sailing slowly on Another day without a Dawn The further away I go The closer I get to you On the fingers of this island I miss the touch of you As I look across the strait Of my narrow views As I wander and I roam At the furthest point from home From here each mile I drive Brings me closer to you I sense that things are goining change round here I can feel that you're gonna make my worries disappear I know that I haven't been easy to figure out But the smell of fear gone I can't wait to see my Dawn Cuz its time I move along And come home to you Think it's time for me to start Thinking about your patient heart Took some time to be apart To bring my senses round Ooo it all makes sense now
5.
Everything 05:28
On the verge of giving up On all I thought we had Don’t know if I’m angry still Seems to me that I’m just mostly sad How do I let go and never hope to love you again? Why do I hang on when all you want is a friend? How do I feel the world through a heart that isn’t mine? How do I believe that I can trust the hands of time? Started off so easy But reality sometimes makes it tough So what’s your plan for your life now When everything you want ain’t enough? It ain’t enough Was a time you burned for me But things were different then There was a place where we were safe Wish that we could go there once again How do I let go and never hope to love you again? Why do I hang on when all you want is a friend? How do I feel the world through a heart that isn’t mine? How do I believe that I can trust the hands of time? Started off so easy But reality sometimes makes it tough So what’s your plan for your life now When everything you want ain’t enough? It ain’t enough Sun is rising once again But the morning seems so cold Used to be much warmer when You would let yourself just lose control How do I let go and never hope to love you again? Why do I hang on when all you want is a friend? How do I feel the world through a heart that isn’t mine? How do I believe that I can trust the hands of time? Started off so easy But reality sometimes makes it tough So what’s your plan for your life now When everything you want ain’t enough? It ain’t enough

You and me got something in common Some kind of sick phenomenon here Look for the broken and break ourselves fixing them Thinking the connection’s sincere Me and you got this rut we get into Gets harder every time to get out But we stay in the game like a moth chasing flame And the focus of the deeply devout We wait all night By the Phone We couldn’t feel More alone Always the last one to know We wait all night We wait all night She and him got their own space they’re in But we’re oblivious to the signs It’s been a long hard day so I’m turning in early They cast excuses we bite the lines He and her got their own shit to stir Deception’s goin’ out on a date Our duplicitous lovers and insignificant others Making fools of you and me as we wait Wait all night Play the part Hold all the pain in our hearts We got this down to an art We wait all night Wait all night Not this time Give me your hand and we’ll climb Out of this dark to the light We wait all night We wait all night We wait all night By the Phone We couldn’t feel More alone Always the last one to know We wait all night We wait all night

Cold Mountain on the screen Our hearts were feeling strong When we gonna go back there You said I’ve waited for so long To take a man like you back home To meet the family To show them how I love you so And how much you love me CHORUS The leaves on the trees were falling down Making a carpet of red and brown Along that misty mountaintop Where you left you childhood days The girl I knew got lost out there And I don’t know where to find her Won’t you please bring your heart Back from Carolina Shoulda been a happy trip One filled with memories Instead the house was haunted with Ghosts only you could see I didn’t mean to hurt you then I wish you hadn’t played along Before I knew it I was every man Who ever did you wrong [CHORUS] Half a dozen bottles gone Bags heavier by far We dragged our broken spirits home And wondered what went wrong Was it worth the time you spent just to fuel a few more songs Can you still remember me or is the fire in your heart gone? [CHORUS] The leaves on the trees are green out here Pretty much all through the year Along that misty coastline Where you live your life today The girl I knew found home right here With the people who truly love her Won’t you please bring your heart Home to California

Remember when you used to be so sweet? Yeah when it came to cute you were hard to beat But now you're a teenage Know-it-all I'm drivin' you, you're drivin' me right up the wall You aim to disrepect like it's your right Rolling your eyes at me just out of spite You're going to push the boundaries that you know I'll give you freedom to roam as long as you don't go Far away Don't go Faraway from my heart Don't go Far away Faraway from my heart Drop me off at school, but don't expect a hug from me Stop trying to be cool, you know you're just embarrassing me Give me money for my lunch, empty out your wallter again Don't bother me now, I'm busy texting all of my friends They say you won't be back til 17 So I've four more years of this routine But underneath it all you're still my girl And for you I'd endure all the pain in the world Far away Don't go Faraway from my heart Don't go Far away Faraway from my heart

The sun peeked through the bedroom window The Zzz’s still in my head Until the dog jumped on the bed And just like that the story ended No chance for final chapters No Happy Ever After But it seemed so real Like everything I feel when I’m awake [G] And if I just knew how Well I would sleep forever now If I could only see you again Get me back to the dream Where my fantasies seemed real And you felt the way I feel Dream To stay asleep I’m gonna fight I can’t wait until tonight So I can dream Down the hall a shade is opened To greet another dawn Time can’t help but move along She wonders if he’ll even notice The way she curled her hair Special perfume in the air But she just can’t stop Stop thinkin’ bout the way that it could be So she’s gonna drop A not-so-subtle hint That says stay here with me Back to the dream We pass most every day Can’t get out of our own way Dream 'stead of dreaming all night through Wanna be awake with you And not just dream Dream I dream that I can fly, that I can play a mean guitar You dream you can be comfortable with you the way you are Dream all the fantasies you want to come to life And maybe you want have to dream to be with me tonight Dream We're gonna bring this dream Bring this dream to life We’re gonna stay awake Stay awake all night

Another year Another candle on your birthday cake Another tear of pride Rolls down my sentimental face I can’t help it if you move me With just a smile For seven years now You’ve been makin’ every day worthwhile Just one more snapshot One more video to share Can’t miss the miss the goofy faces Gotta love your crazy hair [CHORUS] Yes it’s true I wanna spend my days watchin’ over you Cos Daddy’s love for his girl never dies If it’s alright I’m gonna tuck you in once again tonight And wake up to your footsteps at sunrise You bring my songs to life You’re off to school You’re off and running, climbing, reading now Sharing your knowledge With your friends who try but don’t know how The great musician takes the stage To grace us with her sound The western rider Saddles up and rides her pony ‘round Just one more snapshot One more video of you I’ll be there for all your firsts And I’ll bring a camera too! CHORUS Let’s go to Disneyland And you can ask are we there yet Let’s go to anywhere where you can leave all soaking wet Let’s always promise to make history in our own time Save all the memories up and some day we can press rewind Just more snapshot One more video on screen 100,000 images before you turn 18 CHORUS You bring my songs to life You bring my songs to life Youbring my songs to life

about

This album has probably been over ten years in the making, fueled by a lifelong love of music and stymied by artistic self-doubt. Getting to the point where you can say "this is perfect" is not possible for me, so I offer it up to the musical universe and hope that you enjoy it...warts and all.

Give it a listen, then download it if you want to take it with you wherever you may roam. Name your own price, or if money is tight just download it anyway - music will never be my ticket to financial independence.
