Let's Talk About Love 03:10
lyrics

Let’s not talk about the weather Let’s not talk about the war Let’s not discuss the politicians making all the laws Let’s talk about love, babe Let’s talk about us, babe Let’s not talk about the problems that beset the world Let’s talk about love Let’s not talk about science or philosophy let’s not talk about religion or spirituality Let’s talk about love, babe Let’s talk about us, babe Let’s not talk about the nature of reality Let’s talk about love Let’s not talk about the winners Let’s not talk about the game Let’s not discuss the outcome To me it’s all the same Let’s talk about love, babe Let’s talk about us, babe Let’s not worry ‘bout something We can do nothing about Let’s talk about love. Let’s not talk about the future Let’s not talk about the past Let’s not worry ‘bout some other place Or if it’s gonna last Let’s talk about love, babe Let’s talk about us, babe Let’s just stay here in the moment Let’s just hold on fast Let’s talk about love.

The Fire 02:49
lyrics
buy track
When the fire has gone, and it leaves you bare all alone and you know that your old life has gone. When the smoke has cleared and the embers died and you feel that all hope has gone up with you home There am I a photograph lies charred in my outstretched hand. I can see me standing there, when the fire had gone. Now that was years ago. And now that I know that life, it still goes on. I can still remember when the fire had gone.

Take Me For Your Own 03:36
lyrics
buy track
You can have my heart You can take my soul I give you my body You can live in my home I’ll throw in my dreams. Dear You can have them all Take me for your own In the cold of winter When the lights are low In the dead of night When we’re all along When we share our dreams, Dear We’re got it all Take me for your own. Save me from loneliness Fill me with tenderness You stole my heart Right from the start

Craps Shoot 02:49
lyrics
buy track
Take a little time before you choose your number. Warm the dice up in your hand. Get a little loose. Come-out-roll; watch it hold a natural. The money’s safe and sound. You can bet your life you can sneak it easy past the bad luck that others seem to wear You can take all bets and throw them on the table. Life’s a crapshoot. Stickman’s loaded you a pair. Snap, Roll Pray your lucky number. Up the ante for a pair. Smear a little sweat, suck it down, cast your eyes to heaven. Touch the lady’s fake blonde hair Now you’ve bet your stash, play it light and breezy as the dice, roll and tumble thru’ the air You can feel blood rush as you watch your babies settle. Then a seven, sinks you back into despair a seven sinks you back into despair back into despair.

Dance Of Love 03:08
lyrics
buy track
Standing by the jukebox looking for some money A girl comes up and says 'Take mine, Honey, and let's dance to the music Let's jump and jive. Let's groove to the music and do the dance of love Standing by the curb waiting for a ride The girl drives up and throws the door open wide She said, 'Jump inside. I want you to jump inside. Jump inside and I'll take you for a ride. Breeze up to her place cruise down the drive Key in the lock, she throws the door open wide. She says, 'Come inside. I want you to come inside. Come inside and we can set the night on fire. Turn down the lights Radio's on. Ray Charles is playing my favorite song We dance to the music we jumped and jived We grooved to the music and did the dance of love.

Twelve 02:52
lyrics
buy track
Look at you now. My how you’ve grown so fast. Seems only yesterday you were crawling, but that didn’t seem to last for long. Today is the day Bring all the family to town. Go to the park Having some fun kick the football around I turn to a man and say. “That one’s my son, He’s twelve today.” Off to the game. Watch him run up and down Trying so hard, stumbles over and kisses the ground. I call his name. Trying again can’t keep a good man down Giving his all Makes a pass and bingo they score I turn to a man and say. “That one’s my son. He’s twelve today.”

You Know That 03:01
lyrics
buy track
Like every man, I spend some days in a hole. Those sad begotten bad days feeling lowdown and blue As I mope and wallow Just thinking of myself Never think I’ve left you on the shelf Please take the following, my dear, as true Even tho’ it goes unsaid when I’m blue and lowdown Tho’ I took a wrong turn and almost lost my way I hope it’s not too late to say: You fill My heart You’re the light in my day To be here with you is all I need So when those sad days come along Recall the last line of this song There’s only you You know that You know that

Take My Chances 03:20
lyrics
buy track
And now it’s over. Where to now? Take my chances. Find out how I can find in myself the deepest store, or maybe I’m just a slave to it all Over my shoulder I can see, laid out behind me where I’ve been. Now will I stay true to that: the same old line, or maybe leave it behind You ask me how I know. It’s the same everywhere I go I weigh my future. Weigh my past. Hold them in my hand. Moving fast. Now do I take it to be that I must go along that old road, or will I choose to get on with my life

Express Blues 03:48
lyrics

Wednesday morning Train’s just arrived 5:23 am I’m half alive First the station Then the crowd People shuffle round Cry out loud That’s not supposed to be What express should be Why does it stop all the time? Left last evening of what I suppose was yesterday Long night sitting All the way First a lady Then a man Had to sit up Almost stand That’s not supposed to be... Central Station Tired to the bone Lookin’ for a bus To take me home Peak hour traffic Slow lane despair I say to the drive, ‘please, just get me there.’ That’s not supposed to be…

Two Kids And Seven Days 03:04
lyrics
buy track
She lived all alone Two kids and seven days of just hanging around all by herself ‘I Wish I was in someone else’s shoes, Just for a while,’ she said. It’s hard getting out of bed. She smiled all the time. That’s when I saw her. You know I’d never known her to relate, the causes of her great mistake. ‘Well you see,’ she said, ‘it’s him you know. He won’t leave me alone.’ And now she’s gone (she’s gone) A loss of concentration ends it all, the price she paid was paid in full She said, ‘I’m stuck here in a hole. With not enough to go, but enough to keep me hanging around dreaming of some far off land Well, I won't go. You will not persuade me. I’m staying home.’

about

For 45 years I've been writing songs, putting them in a draw and forgetting about them. After decades of playing and recording other people's songs, it's time to do my own. I hope you enjoy them.
