I just realized that I completely forgot about Tunesday this week. I am getting ready for my Homegrown show at Clyde Iron Works which is next Wednesday May 4th at 7pm. I will resume regular Tunesday posting beginning May 10th. The performance next week is at 7pm sharp! So don’t be late if you want to come. Wristband required.
I will post TWO Tunesday songs on two of the Tuesdays in later May to make up for this. Thanks for listening!
"Love hurts" he said
standing in the hall
But maybe he is wrong
And love don't hurt at all
the needing to be near
and at every beck and call
But love's not so demanding
and never wants at all
oh my heavenly wishes
counting diamond rings
And chasing up and down
for all the wrong things
I was giving all i had
But then i hit a wall
There must have been no love
Cuz love don't stop at all
I thought I was a giant
But I was so small
I hope to learn to love
Cuz love don't hurt at all
All the made up stories
that one mind can contain
will fade and disappear
but one thing will remain
Beside a grave now
to my knees I fall
But despite what stories tell you
Love don't hurt at all
If i only had an ounce
a quantity so small
it would be sufficient
cuz love don't hurt at all
I would rather go home
I would rather go home
Cuz this party sucks
And it is getting late
And the thought of my own bed
Is sounding pretty great
I would rather go home
I would rather go home
Cuz everybody's drunk
And the music's much too loud
And I'd rather be alone
Than be in any crowd
I would rather go home
I would rather go home
All the world turns
when he spins it
In the palm
of his little hand
Can anyone tell
how he does it
Or can tell
how it all began
All his stars light
as she waves her hand
A magic wand
And just a flick
Can anyone say
How she does it
Or reveal
Her magic trick
Ancient cities fall into the sea
Mystery!
Frozen pillars saints and killers
All around
Inside me!
All the world turns
when he spins it
with elegant command
Can anyone tell
how he does it?
Or can tell
how it all began?
Lord help me
i want to feel better
the dark cloudy weather
doesn't help
where is the sun?
lord help me
i want to feel better
feel some type of pleasure
but i've found
there is none
to be had
Oh, lord, have i been bad
have i gone wrong
o lord why are you mad
the doom you prolong
Lord help me
i want to feel better
the dark cloudy weather
doesn't help
where is the light?
lord help me
i want to feel better
in some tiny measure
but i've found
nothing quite
what I'd like
Oh Lord, have I been bad?
Have I gone wrong?
Oh, Lord! Is it my voice?
Is it this song?
Lord help me
I want to feel better
I'm just a beggar
and you are the king
of all time
lord help me i want to feel better
Don't you have some treasure
can't you spare
just a dime
for my cup
don't you
have enough?
oh LORD!!!!!!
Higher, higher, it's rising higher
in the sky
Higher, higher, and I am hiding
from the light,
waiting for the night
purple misty forest
croaking frogs and chirping toads
i've swam a hundred miles
and crossed a thousand roads
red earth in the desert
cactus blossom glaring pink
somewhere's a message in a flask
signed with blood for ink
I ate apples off the ground
From beneath a drooping tree
and wondered if right here on earth
is where heaven's supposed to be?
Sang inside an empty tomb
And kneeled on top a hill
And stabbed my heart a thousand times
But never quite could kill
Into the heart of the forest so deep
Lions and tigers and cattle and sheep
From all the corners the west and the east
The children are marching with every beast
Over the hills and in valleys so low
Zebras and horses and big buffalo
All of the creatures on earth, sky, and sea
Sing with the children a strange melody
The snakes on the ground
And the hawks up above
Elephant, butterfly, wolf and the dove
Into the heart of the forest so wild
Every animal
Every child
Why are they going what is this trance?
I wish I could join them in their secret dance
Brown bear, oh brown bear, oh what do I see?
What is this strange magical mystery?
The turtle moves slow
And the hare hops along
They join in the dance and in singing the song
Into the heart of the forest so wild
Every animal
Every child
the sun rose over the graveyard
and dried up all the rain
can it take away the pain?
the moon rose over the ashes
of a long forgotten town
shadows moving without sound
I used to be one of those creatures
sleeping through all of the day
and waking when finally the sunlight
goes away
the sun rose over the playground
and shadows they were spun
underneath all of the fun
the moon rises now out my window
and trying hard to pray
tomorrow'll be a better day
