Simplicity
04:10
|

|
The laughs we shared as we made dinner
Warm sunlight on our bed at dawn
To see life more as a beginner
Simplicity
A backyard softball game on Sunday
The perfume of a new mown lawn
To say to hell with work on Monday
Simplicity
A dream new born, your tender smile
A field of corn we watch a while
That shirt you’ve worn that’s back in style
Not keeping score
Not wanting more
To speak my mind but not get clever
Accept that what is gone is gone
To move beyond all vain endeavor
All superficial ties now sever
And let things flow
And let things go
And taste for now if not forever
Simplicity

He Was Brazilian

He Was Brazilian
Can’t recall his height, hair in the moonlight
I remember his eyes were grey, in Rio on holiday
He Was Brazilian
Over all the others
If I had my druthers
I don’t recall he said his name
I’ll never be the same
Let fate cross paths
On that afternoon we laughed
He was sweet and elegant
Like an angel heaven sent
Affair after affair, he remains ever so rare
What then became of him
Met him on whim
With the lights so dim
That first moment when we met, perfect
He Was Brazilian
Let fate cross paths
On that afternoon we laughed
He was sweet and elegant
Like an angel heaven sent
Affair after affair, he remains ever so rare
What then became of him
Met him on whim
With the lights so dim
That first moment when we met, perfect
He Was Brazilian

Angel Eyes

Try to think that love's not around
But it's uncomfortably near
My old heart ain't gaining no ground
Because my angel eyes ain't here
Angel eyes, that old Devil sent
They glow unbearably bright
Need I say that my love's misspent
Misspent with angel eyes tonight
So drink up all you people
Order anything you see
Have fun you happy people
The laughs and the jokes on me
Pardon me but I got to run
The fact's uncommonly clear
Got to find who's now number one
And why my angel eyes ain't here

Cape's End
04:30
|

At the Cape’s End, blue waves bend
Together as one
The seagulls fly beneath the sky
Searching like me
Is the music they hear, so tantalizingly near
At the Cape’s End, imagine a kiss
Shrouded in mist
Why must I wait accepting my fate
Waiting, Like me
Is the longing I feel, so impossibly real
How long must I wait, accepting my fate
In a tourist town, in a tourist town
The rest of the word wont matter when he walks the breakwater
Early in the morning hours
At the Cape’s End, when mist clears
Together as one
As time grows short in this quaint port, catching his eye
Then a lover an friend, with two hearts that transcend
At Cape’s End

Bordeaux

I long for Bordeaux, that’s where you are
Bordeaux is distant, like a star
And in my heart, you’re never too far
Soon I’ll get down on my knee propose to you across the sear
Bordeaux will be a memory you’ll see
When I’m in New York and you’re in Bordeaux
There is no beauty in a song
It’s so unfair when you’re there the lights go out in times square
Friends say we’re not together, they don’t know any better
You’re in Bordeaux or Astoria, being yours is my euphoria
I love you still I always will
I see you only and you with me
Across this vast sea
One day we can cross the distance love reward for your persistence
Anywhere we are will be Bordeaux
Our Bordeaux

The site of our old Chelsea loft, falling down where nothing worked
It is now a condo I can't afford
Everything reminds me of you
The corner where you touched my hand
Unspoken thoughts to understand
Two lives begin to make a plan
The color you painted that ugly nightstand
For a while every guy who walked by I saw…but you
It's you that caught my eye
It seems to me that I may need to put into a box, the memory of you
That caused a shock, I am happy fulfilled
Even now after all these years, everything reminds me of you
Reminds me of you
Reminds me of you

You don't know what love is
Until you've learned the meaning of the blues
Until you've loved a love you've had to lose
You don't know what love is
You don't know how lips hurt
Until you've kissed and had to pay the cost
Until you've flipped your heart and you have lost
You don't know what love is
Do you know how lost heart feels
At the thought of reminiscing?
And how lips that taste of tears
Lose their taste for kissing
You don't know how hearts burn
For love that cannot live yet never dies
Until you've faced each dawn with sleepless eyes
You don't know what love is
