Old Crow

Old Crow

Well, I'm heading toward the trash again, and I'm bringing all my crap.
And I wonder will it take this time, or will I soon be heading back.
You gotta unearth me, Lord, I been buried before my time
and it was my hand held the shovel, it was me that done the crime.

I wanna go. I wanna run away from here.
I wanna step out into the morning light where everything is clear.
But I can't seem to escape myself, I go everywhere I go
and when I think I've finally hid, I hear the shrieking of an old crow.

In a moment of clear sobriety, I see the pain without disguise,
but the sorrow is not my own, I can see it in my family's eyes.
And when I look into those eyes, my heart begins to beat,
and if You can help me, Lord, I just might dig out of defeat.

I wanna go. I wanna run away from here.
I wanna step out into the morning light where everything is clear.
But I can't seem to escape myself, I go everywhere I go
and when I think I've finally hid, I hear the shrieking of an old crow.

I know that I am just a few slippery steps from the fall;
through the fog of anger and sadness I can still hear the call.


I wanna go. I wanna run away from here.
I wanna step out into the morning light where everything is clear.

September (for Jessie)

​September (a song for Jessie)



​Do you remember when I gave to you a token of my love to cherish always.
When you tried to give it back to me under Christmas lights, I messed it up, because I couldn't wait.

Snow-covered mountain tops in New Mexico. Going to the shore and running from the beach patrol.
Fireworks on New Year's Eve, and you Staying-In-Style with me.

It's been good. It's been so sweet.
Girl, you reached me in my darkness and helped me get back to my feet.

I can hear my brother singing in the background, and I can feel you whisper in my ear.
I can almost taste your goodness all around me. Baby, it must be September-what a great time of year.

    I've written a multitude of songs I rarely sing. :(

    I have made amateur :) recordings of several, so I've decided to share them with you here.

    Enjoy!
