The friction between husband and wife although they are happy to be together.

The interaction in marriage. Husband and wife.

I can be what you want me to be but I'm not really into that
You know I think we both can agree my position is never exact

On some days I'm buzzing in your ear
but you say you're loving I am here

'Cause I am sun and rain

I may not want to go it may seem to some party or social affair
But I know we are a team and if it's important to you I care

You say, '"Why do you have to drag your feet?"
I say, "That's because I want to go to sleep."

Because I am sun and rain

On some days I'm buzzing in your ear
but you say you're loving I am here

Because I am sun and rain

It may seem there's no cooperation but this is what I do
No intention for aggravation I'll always come round to you

All along you know I'm throwing words
In the end with you is how it works

I am sun and rain

Sudden death leaves one frustrated he can't get back. He is stalking his wife but thinks she will be OK with it.

Sudden death leaves one frustrated he can't get back.

I'm trying so hard but no one will listen to me
My words just dissipate or drop to the floor

What really hurts, I can't get to you
that I am right here catching your tears

I want to talk with you
You want to talk with me too

I feel the warmth from you so I think I will stay here
I see everything you do
I don't think you'll think it's so weird

I don't know how I got into this
but I don't want to be here anymore

Too many rules don't interfere or this or that who is in charge?
Reverse the situation I'm in

I want to be with you
Just like we used to do

I feel the warmth from you so I think I'll stay here
I see everything you do
I don't think you'll think it's so weird

Please let me, I want to be there
Please let me, let me out of here

I feel the warmth from you so I think I will stay here
I see everything you do
But I don't think you'll think it's so weird

Lying in a doctor's office trying to find out why one is crazy. Maybe going back is a way to move forward.

Mental illness treatment.

Lying here nervously counting the marks on the wall
Listen to you're telling me immersed in a search of recall

I'm moving in a new direction
One where I can be lost and found

Sometimes going back can help you to unpack what's going on
Lead you to a place where you can find your space to carry on

What's inside wants to understand all the needs of the heart
The medicine is all within inside the soul is where to start

I'm moving in a new direction
One where I can be lost and found

Sometimes going back can help you to attack what's going on
Help you to define how you lost your mind and what went wrong

We need to set some expectations
Want to lift you off the ground
File it with some medication
We'll help you to keep you safe and sound

Sometimes going back can help you to attack what's going on
Help you to define how you lost your mind and what went wrong

Sometimes going back can help you to unpack what's going on
Lead you to a place where you can find your space to carry on

Sometimes going back

Dying from an illness. Hanging on to life, refusing to die because one is worried about their loved ones. The spirits are calling to him, "Let go. All will be great for you and them."

Death and rebirth.

Tired and wasted a faint smile is hasten as you lie
The pain through the years as we fought back the tears
There's no place to hide

Come as you are

How you see it is how it will turn out to be
Fear and despair needing more care
change insensibly

Come as you are

Take to the sky as you open your eyes
Your kids and your wife and your friends will be fine
The whole of your life will continue to shine
Just come, come as you are

The house, the bills, the climb, uphill all can wait
The need to be free, approaching decree of your fate

Come as you are

Take to the sky as you open your eyes
The air is so sweet you continue to smile
The whole of your life is endless in time
Come, come as you are

Take to the sky as you open your eyes
The kids and your wife and your friends will be fine
The whole of your life will continue to shine
Just come, come as you are

A father waking up their older child from dreamland. Where they are dreaming about all the people they have known.

A father waking up their older child from dreamland.

Sleeping Soul it's time to wake up
Your rest is done it's time to wake up

The day is new and it's time to begin
What you'll see has not been
Sleeping Soul it's time to wake up

Your dream has stopped it had no end
It made no sense can't comprehend

A swirling room that had no floor
Filled with those that gone before
The dream has stopped but it had no end

I don't want to wake you but I must
All those dreams will turn to dust
With all those friends you miss so much

But this day will not wait you will see
all the great things that will be
filled with joys that you can touch

Sleeping soul it's time to wake up
The Sun is bright it's time to wake up
Take some time for your eyes to clear
You will know I am here
Sleeping Soul it's time to wake up

The day is new and it's time to begin
What you'll see has not been
Sleeping Soul it's time to wake up

Fat cat cheats many out of their money. Someone steals it back and is ready for a fight. They will be ready.

Modern day Robin Hood.

One day soon you'll see it's gone
Truth be told you stole from all
With misery you can't let go
My pockets deep unlike your soul

I got yo money and I know you'll be coming back
I got yo money and it's hidden in my shoe
I got yo money and I know you'll be coming back
I got yo money and I'll be waiting here for you

How you got from here to there
Suspicious games without a care
Clever deals but you're found out
It points to you without a doubt

I got yo money and I know you'll be coming back
I got yo money and it's hidden in my shoe
I got yo money and I know you'll be coming back
I got yo money and I'll be waiting here for you

You thought that you were so smooth
but we're all on to you
We know that we were had
but we are very glad
that you are now the sad one

I moved with no sound, slow pace
I siphoned off without a trace
What I stole from you I will return
Not to you but ones you've burned

I got yo money and I know you'll be coming back
I got yo money and it's hidden in my shoe
I got yo money and I know you'll be coming back
I got yo money and I'll be waiting here for you
We got yo money
We know that you'll be coming back
We got yo money
What you going to do
We got yo money
We know that you'll be coming back
We got yo money and we'll be waiting here for you

Jennifer is too good for the singer so he went out and found someone just like her. Except the new girl loves him.

Jennifer is too good for the singer.

Jennifer
I love someone
I found someone new
She's like you

We could never be together
You talk too much and think about whether
We were meant to be as one
But so much time has gone

I've waited so long and I've been lonely
Your cold feet chilled me only to
Finally to realize
To move forward it's time

Jennifer
I love someone
I found someone new
She's like you

I hope one day you straighten out
All those things you need to work out
What needs to be
That never included me
The way it should be... I guess

Jennifer
I love someone
I found someone new
She's like you

I found someone
She's like you
Except for one thing
She's like you
I love someone new
She's like you

This is the time when the person knows something is wrong. They are fighting it. They know that soon even the ones they love will mean nothing to them.

The onset of Alzheimer's disease.

I noticed a picture on the wall
I don't remember it at all
It makes me smile for a short while
Then it's gone

I struggle along the line
I know there's a reason to care
And people are talking about me
as though I'm not even there.

How long will we let this last?
Who I am is fading fast
All alone, adrift at sea
And turning to dust what you mean to me

Someone just waved I don't know their name
I kind of know who they are but I'm ashamed
It's deep inside but it's locked and I've tried
Help me find a way

Help me to find the key to unlock this door
Before there's no going back like I was before

How long will we let this last?
Who I am is fading fast
All alone, adrift at sea
Turning to dust what you mean to me

Help me find the key to unlock this door
Where you will find me as I was before

How long will we let this last?
Who I am is fading fast
All alone, adrift at sea
Turning to dust what you mean to me

Turning to dust

Struggle within ones self. Internal demons.

Dealing with internal demons.

You know my face
You think I'm not so original
Open shut case
Let's see who's marginal

You come down on me
I know who you are
The third degree
Will get you so far

I'm here to chase you right into Hell

On my right hand to God
I'll be on you 'til you are gone

You're getting no head start
I'm beating you to the punch
I know what's in my heart
In yours I have a hunch

You come down on me
I know who you are
You will see
The light in the dark

And I will see you right into Hell

On my right hand to God
It's what you have to do
On my right hand to God
You've got to help yourself
On my right hand to God
There's really no one else

You should know you're not coming back
I'm staying right on your tracks
And here, is an open door
You know what it's for

I will see you right into Hell

On my right hand to God
It's what you have to do
On my right hand to God
You've got to help yourself
On my right hand to God
There's really no one else

You should know you're not coming back
I'm staying here right on your tracks
I'm on to you
You are through
Right hand to God

A stillness quality to this song with 7/8 and 6/8 time joined together.

Quietness. Winter. Alone with a guitar. Lydian appears.

Lydian, It's cold outside
You really know how to treat your guy
I feel the warmth you give to me
Lydian

You begin
Share your thoughts
Lead the way I am lost
Take my hand lead me away
Lydian

Guide me through doors that I thought were all walls
Lydian

Show it to me, when I four meets a three
Lydian

Lydian, you got to me
But I haven't heard the last of you
You, you have a way in what you say
Lydian

Breakup song. Waited around too long now it is time to end this thing. Happy about breaking free. Too late...

Breakup song.

Do you know the way I feel?
Can I hold you near?
I would do the same for you
I would no matter what, I'd see it through

Would you do the same for me?
The feelings never die
Would you not agree
or would you hesitate wait and see?

You set me up all along for the same old story that I know
I've waited much too long for the same old story

I've taken much too long to say
I've waited now I'm gone
I'm shaken and I tried to stay
I've waited now I'm gone

Do you know the way things are
or do you have your own ideas?
An impression in your mind
or picture of you lost in time

And if there were ways to let you see
The feelings never die
I would do it all again
I would no matter what to the end

You set me up all along for the same old story that I know
I've waited way too long for the same old story

I've taken much too long to say
I've waited now I'm gone
I'm shaken and I tried to stay
I've waited now I'm gone

How was I to show you
I did not feel the way you do?
I already told you
It doesn't have to be this way

I've taken much too long to say
I've waited now I'm gone
I've shaken it off and I'm on my way
I've waited now I'm gone

Was here
I'm gone

Inspirational message to move foreword through ups and downs of life.

Upbeat song.

High or low you got to move ahead
Take it slow or stop instead
Sit back while you're riding high
Hope it lasts

High and low you got to choose a friend
Make it a good one to the end
Because low is not fun
That day will come

It will stop you in your tracks
And haunt you if you try to relax
Pull you into the past
Decisions that you made too fast

High and low

High or low you got to move forward
You have to realize take my word
Good days will come
High is real fun

It will put jump into your step
Make sense of words you know that were said
Put you back on your way
Directing you everyday

High and low
It's with you every day
High and low
No matter what you want to say
High and low
Trip and move forward
High and low
Sometimes the path is blurred

High and low there's an in between
But we're talking here you know what I mean
About the sky high deal
The low we have to heal

High and low

High and low
It's with you every day
High and low
No matter what you want to say
High and low
Trip and move forward
High and low
You'll have to take my word

Writing a song with no real point. Only trying to complete it. Fill it in. Get it done. Put anything in.

Writing a song with no real point.

This is not that song you think it is

Sing it all day long
got nothing going on
Got no point of view
Nothing here to do

No political repartee
Empty thoughts today
I've got nothing here
No one would ever cheer

That's why
This is not that song you think it is

There is no serenade
No masterpiece is made
No atmosphere
No one will shed a tear

I'm using the same old rhyme
I just want to save some time
I want to end this thing
And look for something else to sing

Because
This is not that song you think it is

No sensitive romance
It's only left to chance
But I did begin
Only few more words to put in

If you like this song
Try to sing along
You don't have much time
It's not going to 4:09

Because
This is not that song you think it is
