Although I may never tell youAnd I hope you never knowJust how much sleep I am losingBut it’s hard for it not to show I was never great at pokerNor acting in a showThe time is getting shorterFor me to up and go Although I may never tell youAnd I hope you never knowJust howContinue reading “The failing bluff”

The downward ride
I went for a ride Had somethings to confide There’s nothing better than the wind and the road Now work has been a pain, And all I can feel is rain And I really needed to lighten my load The Lady at home is ready to yell, The babies in bed not feeling to wellContinue reading “The downward ride”
Married to a memory
Married to a memory.Till death waiting for you,Always honest and trueI’m married to the memory of you. At first I tried drinking you away,But it was just like hitting play,I tried moving somewhere newEach day I awoke to a familiar viewOne I take joy in waking up to,But I’m just living with the memory ofContinue reading “Married to a memory”
Never more …
I never felt stronger than when holding your gazeNever happier than seeing a smile on your faceNever more lucky than when you held the dieNever more lonely than when you said goodbye What happened?What went wrong?That I got left withJust the words of this song, Where’d you go?And where’ve you been?Since you gave us upAndContinue reading “Never more …”

What could I do?
The moon lights up the violet sky,How can you pick such a night to say goodbyeThe air is warm and completely stillIn such contrast to your thoughts and will What could I do? What should I say?Would it make any difference either way? How much do I wish I could convince you to stayAnd setContinue reading “What could I do?”
It was half past noon When I entered the saloon, Already it’d been quite a day Up at four Straight out the door None dare stand in my way. I got a gun on my hip A stiff upper lip Solitude is the price to pay For none dare talk They long to walk AndContinue reading
High side of normal
I am on the high side of normal And heading for a fall, My friends are all absent And I am trapped in my stall I am on the high side of normal And looking for a brawl Everyone seems to be enjoying themselves But I am still waiting on your call The stall isContinue reading “High side of normal”
