Something Beautiful

Silent I watched the clouds, silent I touch the water. Silent I lean to people, silent I turn to light. Silent I welcome birds, silent I lift the children.

One Day

Five more minutes until my brother is finally happily wed. Five long minutes that seem forever. And then he's happily wed. Look at how he's dressed. Morning coat and vest.

Never Neverland

She'd tell me about Captain Hook and all of his men. who followed Peter with a hook replaced as his hand. in those tales bad guys seldom did win. so the captain was eaten and Wendy had twins.

Making Good

That hatchet-faced hag who's pointing at me with a sneer. I don't see her. Those giggling girls with the whispers they want me to hear. I don't hear them.

Life Starts Clapping

Wherever God lays his Glance. Life starts clapping. The myriad creatures grab their instruments and join the song. Whenever love makes itself known. Against another body.

Invention

This evening has been swell, a first date in New York.. You asked the proper questions, you used the proper fork.. You looked into my eyes, you were calm, polite, composed..

Gotta Start Small

I ran a mile today. And for a while today. I forced a smile today and sailed on with ease.. . I used to think, 'Not me - I can't'.. The track was smooth,.

Because I Am A Wife

I was a child of the sea with the spray on my face. I was sure of my place, born to the bray so bright. Now I'm a shell on the sand dried to a husk and no more.

Need You Now

Picture perfect memories scattered all around the floor. Reachin for the phone cause I cant fight it anymore. And I wonder if I ever cross your mind. For me it happens all the time.

What We`re Gonna Do About It

Ok, picture this: I'm standing in the world's longest line at Starbucks. You know the one down on. Yeah right that one. Anyway, I'm standing there. I'm half asleep, of coruse no make-up on.

What If She's An Angel

There's a man standing on the corner. With a sign sayin "will work for food". You know the man. You see him every morning. The one you never give your money to.

Then Came The Night

Long legged shadows, Mississippi sunset. She was standing like a candle that hadn't been burned yet. The wind was blowing clouds like ashes. Had my hand in my pocket, reaching for my matches.

Chicken Nuggets

The Mind Of John J. Blanchard

He had a stroke in '95. They thought it best that he reside. In a nursing home. His family vowed they'd never leave him. Last time they came to see him.

That Just Wouldn't Be Me

I ain't gonna change better give up hope. I'm one of those guys who'll never be pope. I'd hang myself with a little more rope. From the nearest family tree.

Tell Me Where It Hurts

Why is that sad look in your eyes. Why are you crying. Tell me now tell me now. Tell me why you're feeling this way. I hate to see you so down. Oh baby is it your heart.

Let Go

Clothes pins and the king of hearts. Death grip on his handlebars. He said a prayer, I hope I don't crash. It's somethin' that he had to do. His buddies darin' him to turn 'em loose.

I Go Crazy

Hello girl it's been awhile. Guess you'll be glad to know. That I've learned to laugh and smile. Getting over you was slow. They say old lovers can be good friends.

I Don`t Need Another Reason (tommy Shane Steiner With Randy Travis)

Hey man, what's goin' down. Come on in, let me pour you a round. There's nothin' up in this ole town. What's new with you. Oh well, I'm doin' just fine.

Havin` A Good Time

Friday night, little town. Not much to do but ride around. And listen to the radio real loud. Hangin' out in cut-off jeans. Watchin' the traffic lights blink.
