It’s Not Heaven
Hello good friend, is that you passing by?
Come rest with me for a spell.
I’m lonely for some company.
It’s not heaven, but at least it’s not hell.
The stars rise up and the sun dies down.
Time passes, oh this I can tell.
I lay in my grave, neither here nor there
It’s not heaven but at least it’s not hell.
Of the sweet by and by, I figured I knew.
But death has broken that spell,
No rest in peace for the one who can’t sleep.
It’s not heaven, but at least it’s not hell.
Come closer my friend and you’ll hear my plea.
Please tell me that you’ll remember me.
Don’t leave me here where the end isn’t clear.
It’s not heaven, but at least it’s not hell.

Burning Pain
My new wife went back home to visit some old friends
and she showed me the house where she used to live.
But her smile turned upside down when she recalled her last old man
cos he left her with a burning pain.
Burning Pain (Burning Pain) Burning pain (Burning Pain)
Running crazy in the pouring rain.
It shouldn’t be getting harder as the years go running by
But its left me with this nagging burning pain
We married each other after 40 years gone past.
But you lived in new york so far away
I couldn’t live another day in this empty house.
being without you is a burning pain.
A radical bladder can cause 3 days in bed.
Epstein Barr and some hypertension too.
But nothing gets better when physicians turn their backs
and they leave you with a burning pain
I wait for the day when we can go out on our own
Far away from dysfunctionality
Our family and kids have brought such stress into our lives
and it's left us with a burning pain.

(Doing) Cool Stuff
I’m so glad that you have come back into my life
I have missed your face for so many years (its’ been blue)
Now I’ll dedicate my life to being spent just looking around
and being together and doing cool stuff with you.
We went upstate to look for ghosts but just saw spooky clouds
Music Camp to see Toombs Dixon and The Faux
The rest stop on the turnpike said Bon Jovi service stop
But there was no food, no service, and no fuel.
We will always find something good to eat at home by the bay
Whether its Nassau, St. Johns, Carroll, or the Jersey Shore.
But i remember we went to Coney Island after the snow
and had hot dogs, fries, and soda in the car.
Been to Edinburgh to see Tom Jones, and Glasgow to play golf.
Moved all about London on the rails.
Made our tour guide crazy looking for the beatles in Liverpool
And saw sheep by the beach on the rolling hills of Wales.

The Love That's Yet to Come
You held my heart in the palm of your hand
It fell through your fingers into the sand
It kept on beating like a drum
For all the love that’s yet to come
It’ll light my way, that’s what they say
It’ll be alright, it’ll be OK
Like a beam of light from the sun
Waiting for the love that’s yet to come
You were my woman and you made me blue
You had my love but it wouldn’t do
Now I’m holding on though my hands are numb
Waiting for the love that’s yet to come
In the darkest night when you let me down
When you tore my heart left it on the ground
Still it keeps beating like a drum
For all the love that’s yet to come

Bring Me Back To You
When I am far away and traveling alone
I look up at the stars overhead
I draw a line between them so I can get back home
For each one brings me back to you
Out in the valley a freight train’s on the move
I count the cars behind it two by two
I’d like to climb aboard it if I knew it was true
The tracks would bring me back to you
Solo
This road is long and winding, the job is never through
Lines stretch out beyond me, wishing I was there with you
Life gets so lonely out on the open road
Missing all that happens there at home
My eyes are getting heavy, and I’ll pull over soon
My dreams bring me back to you

Old Red
Who's gonna greet the morning sun,
let you know the day's begun?
Who's gonna keep the small ones
safe from harm?
No one loves an old red rooster
he can't do the things he used to
Will the sun keep on a rising
when he's gone?
You should have seen me back in the day
No one dared get in my way
And how the ladies loved to
flock around
Now, no one loves an old red rooster
he can't do the things he used to
Will the sun keep on a rising
when he's gone?
Out in the yard, I'd strut and preen
my spurs were sharp and my heart was mean
It takes a tough old hand
to run the farm
No one loves an old red rooster
he can't do the things he used to
Will the sun keep on a rising
when he's gone?
How I loved the quiet morn
to watch a new day being born
The beauty always filled my
heart with song
But no one loves an old red rooster
he can't do the things he used to
Will the sun keep on a rising
when he's gone?
Will that old sun keep on a shining
...when I'm gone?

Staying Here Right Next to You
Your hand in my hair, a poem, a kiss
I skydive into your ocean blue.
Your smile, your eyes; there is nothing but bliss
I’m staying here right next to you.
But then the divide, the silence, the cold
I miss the feeling that it’s true.
The highs then the lows; it’s so hard to know
But I’m staying here right next to you.
An ocean, a dream, a swell, our embrace
Thinking of you the whole night through
I’ll stay in this dream, this luminous place
I’m staying here right next to you.
