Bluebells

My baby’s always busy when the bluebells are out
Keep on wishing I could show her around
She’s always running at the sound of the school bells
She don’t want to see the blue bells
All for the grade
That paper always blotting out the sunny days
These petals only hang around till early may
And you can’t smell them through your screen saver
It’s not the same
And boy I’ve tried
Chasing memories that elude me cause the boy inside
Won’t ever find nostalgia ’til his worlds collide
And his girl’s missing moments just passing by
Oh that wonder you felt as a child
Head on the ground and your eyes in the heavens
Like you could float to the clouds
But the branches stretch their hands and hold you down
Tuck you into a bed of violet
If I got her there then she wouldn’t fight it
She would invite it

A Friend

Don’t be a stranger
A cold memory she’d rather forget
Don’t be a wonderer
Those dark streets might have you yet
But don’t get too familiar
Those eyes are chasm you’ll easily slip
Don’t be a settler
Your heart will be stolen and broken again
It’s hard to know x2
How to be a friend
No matter what you think you can give her
You’re not her deliverer let her go
Can’t be a lover
Though it’s burning within you don’t let it show
But don’t be a fighter
If you fight her you’ll never know
If she could discover
That your love is what she is looking for
It’s hard to know x2
How to be a friend x2
No don’t get too familiar
Those eyes are chasm you’ll easily slip
Don’t be a settler
Your heart will be stolen and broken again
It’s hard to know x4
How to be a friend

Ladies That Lunch

Wondering
Wondering eyes
Take strolls in the summer time
When she’s out of sight
I get into my mind
Such an impressionable space
Though I try to find the strength the hunger takes its toll
And lo imagination fills the space my love would hold
All this eating out
The bill’s getting high
Ladies that lunch
On my mind
I’m bleeding out
It’s just a matter of time
Ladies that lunch
Wondering
Wondering eyes
I sail close to the shore
I wonder why I orchestrate siren songs
With the tunes that I find
Their mystery appropriated
Wide eyed are pushed in the mould
I make, a little cage
The mind indulges for a taste
And only to incarcerate itself
In some tepid hell
All this eating out
The bill’s getting high
Ladies that lunch
On my mind
I’m bleeding out
It’s just a matter of time
Ladies that lunch
Wasting my time making carnations for canapés
When I’ve got the whole entrée at home
Hold tight cause I’m running babe
Yeah I’m on my way
