Number One 03:22
she’s holding up the sky painting it blue she’s the reason why every day is new she carries my heart in a velvet purse whispers my name in poetic verse she’s my number one two holding on hand and hand through time memories and future plans continue in rhyme she’s reaching for the clouds running fancy free up over the mountain to see what she can see she’s my number one I count my blessings ten times twelve never keeping score I cross my fingers close my eyes and trust forever more as life winds its way many worlds collide I can handle anything when she’s by my side a stumble now and then she’ll catch me when I fall through frozen years and secret tears we’re still standing tall she’s my number one

the last time time I saw Alison was 1973 I was hitch hiking down I-5 to visit family got stranded in Fresno called her on the phone she met me at the on ramp and said come on home one night on the couch and then move on junior year in high school that’s when she transferred in she’d moved down from Modesto with her eyes wide open I’d never met anyone that was even half as cool walking home together after school cats and snakey friends on the lawn the world turns seasons change round and round it goes time runs through your hands lives ebb and flow halfway through senior year her daddy passed away momma packed all their home she said they couldn’t stay Bob told me he had heard she’d moved to Fresno her number’s in the phone book then he said I gotta go stared down at his feet and then moved on all those years ago and it’s still in my memory a bota bag a desert moon the smell of patchouli I played the lonesome vagabond and saw many things smiles always come easier to those that can sing one night on the couch and then move on yet here am I still hanging around

Somewhere in my thoughts there lives a lady She's walking back and forth across my mind Blocking out each chance of me forgetting Assuring me she'll be there for some time Her golden hair is tied around my memory The pain she left with me is here to stay I'm doing all I can to go on living And yet I die a little more each day Now that I'm alone with just her memory I've had some time for counting my mistakes And loving her stands out from all the others That was one I couldn't help but make It's funny how some thoughts can be so painful And how they just refuse to go away I'm doing all I can to go on living And yet I die a little more each day She lets me die a little more each day

Most of All 03:49
I want to believe in summer rain dreams come true if you close your eyes raindrops fall from crystal skies time never ends I want to believe in fairy tales castles tall and maidens fair happy endings everywhere let the sunshine in but most of all I believe in song it can take you away and bring you home make you cry and wanna be alone make you smile and wanna carry on most of all I believe in song I want to believe in holding hands where love wears an honest heart and promises never fall apart holding on forever more I want to believe in food for thought where every bite is sincerity where every sip is integrity the heeling begins within I wanna believe in the full moon raise my voice and start to howl with all the animals on the prowl in perfect harmony I wanna board a ship sail away to foreign lands and distant shores around the world and back to my door there ain’t no place like home

Empty Heart 03:38
she wakes with the sunlight filtering in as shadows surrender another day begins alone with her thoughts that echo ‘round the room she wonders if their orchid will bloom it’s hard to fill an empty heart he’s living a life stuck on repeat the bottle’s almost gone there’s sirens in the street he stares at the ceiling while the music softly fades a forty watt bulb burns behind a busted shade it’s hard to fill an empty heart some people are this way right from the start some become this way after being torn apart he daydreams at school of mom and dad again together forever the way it should have been long before the war and the battles fought at home over visitation rights and birthdays on the phone it’s hard to fill an empty heart ooh it’s hard to heal a broken heart

Below Zero 03:57
Don’t go looking for me I’m lost as can be you can play the game with someone else I never joined the team it’s just not my scene I’m just fine here on the shelf let it go let it be it never touches me cause I wear a uniform of steel safely tucked away in a world of my own I lock the door cause I don’t want to feel them with a frozen heart try to keep us apart playing the separation game but I know what’s true no matter the hue all our hearts beat the same there’s a man over there trying to sell me air but I think I can breath on my own he says he’ll guarantee my popularity if I only worship at his throne let it go let it be it never touches me cause I wear a uniform of steel safely tucked away in a world of my own I lock the door cause I don’t want to feel I can choose what I think is real

She’s not the kind of girl to let her secrets show She thinks that if you love her you’re just supposed to know And she’ll never tell you what you doing wrong She'll just make a note on the letter to Dolly She’s been writing for so long She always looks for answers inside the magazine On the rack at the check out line turn the page Tabloid Queen The Enquirer never told her she doesn’t understand She thinks her body is all she has to hang on to her man But his wondering eyes are traveling at the speed of light Like a beacon on a stormy sea for ships passing in the night One more night of questions asked in silent pain One more round of denials he’s pretty good at this game She whispers do you love me “C’mon honey what-a-ya think Then he waits for her to fall asleep and goes out for a drink She wonders if Ms. Taylor ever walked this empty floor The she buries her head in her pillow to cry a little more One tear for the sorrow one more for the rain A flood to wash all his lies spinning down the drain

imaginary life shelter in a dream envisioning a throne in the clouds superficial signs of golden majesty surrounded by worshiping crowds a glass of bravery followed by the same foaming illusions of success through the smokey properly dazed fulfilling their need for excess high above the herd watching celebration time anticipation conquers the room eternity awaits while the hours dance away pledging promises to the moon rainbows full of dreams arch across the years multi colored layers of the past at the end of it’s beam that fabled pot of gold where wishes are granted at last

on a windy autumn night leaves are creeping about the temperature’s falling within and without keep the dog on the bed pile the blankets high while a crescent moon hangs low in a cold November sky you do what you can to survive single once again took some time to realize that pleading face of love was just a disguise there’s boxes by the door holding half of a home memories for sale spread out on the lawn you do what you can to survive we’re all puppets of fate with our strings pulled by time you gotta learn the dance find your place in line the alarm shatters a dream at 5:29 go out and get that minimum wage down in the salt mine groceries for the week or pay the power bill can you stretch the paycheck far enough though force of will you do what you can to survive you do what it takes to survive

On The Wall 04:46
Write your name on the wall then turn and walk away leave your memories down the hall in a room called yesterday the shifting sands of time don’t pay any mind through the hourglass they drain write your name on the wall then turn and walk away Sing your songs to the dark let the words softly drift away echoing off the stars surrendering to the break of day the shifting sands of time don’t pay any mind through the hourglass they drain sing your song to the dark let the words softly drift away Carve your story on a stone send it skipping ‘cross the waves of all the smiles you’ve known watch the ripples dissipate the shifting sands of time don’t pay any mind through the hourglass they drain carve your story on a stone send it skipping ‘cross the waves Write your name on the wall then turn and walk away
