Dream

I had a dream last night, a dream of you. You stopped by just to say hello. We exchanged greetings, pleasantries and a bittersweet embrace. We stepped into the house and slowly the awkwardness did subside. We were laughing and crying over a bottle of wine. we put on some music and slow danced.You laughed at my clumsy steps. we lost track of time. God your smile, it had been some time. You seemed happy as I looked into your eyes...it stirred up something inside me I had not felt in what seemed an eternity. We sat on the couch and talked the night away as you fell asleep in my arms. I just held you, watched you and stroked your hair. I sat there holding until our breathing and heartbeats matched into one. The simplicity and the purity of that moment was the most intimate, wonderful moment I had ever known. no party, no drink, no physical action could ever compare. Sadly, I awoke this morning. awoke alone. But last night, in my thoughts and in my heart feels as if that truly was a moment we shared. Sometimes dreams do come true.Until then, I'll have to wait. I'd wait my whole life through...if only to die in your arms

Well don't you stop wasting time, and come back down the line,
I'm right where you left me before.

I can't say I've been Behaved, you'd not believe me anyways,
There's been other women of course.

So hold me to this one.
I wont make the same mistakes anymore.
Come on now darlin, please darken my door.

With me its where you belong, so bring yourself back home.
we'll tear this town down to the ground.

White water tavern nights, old songs and cheap red wine.
There's no finer mess to be found

I'll hold you to this one
I still hear your footsteps crossing the floor
Come on now darlin please darken my door

Your bare feet on hardwood can barely make a sound
From the kitchen to the bedroom with all the lights down.
A glass of water, some whiskey, the smoke in your hair
All I taste is the perfume you wear.

yeah, that perfume you wear.


I don't expect that you will stay, gone are the good ole' days,
damn weren't we sure something else.

Ive caused enough trouble here, so girl get it in high gear
and come save me from myself.

We'll hold to this one
I still taste that god awful perfume you wore.

Now we'll hold to this one
Wont make the same mistakes anymore
Come on now darlin please darken my door

well come on now darlin
well come on now darlin
come on now darlin please darken my door...

For what its worth

I haven't blogged in a little while. I'm bad. I'm not sure why I even do this. Therapy I guess? I've been writing songs.... Songs which I'm recording. I have no Idea what will come out of it. Maybe peace? Hopefully.

The sleepless nights are now few and far between

Moving on, Burning bridge fueled by tears and Gasoline

Walking tall, Head held high by determination from the booze

Truth be told, Darlin' I hope I'm over you.

All my favorite songs sound like something else

Now they're personal... like a journal I didn't write myself

Carrying on, Pick myself up with reluctant pride

I've always said I've lived with no regrets....

...I lied

going out, trying things all new

making mistakes, like a drunken, bad tattoo

new faces, new judgements, a heart on trial

a dinner, a drink, a dance

but darlin... she ain't got your smile.

It was the way our bodies nestled in an embrace. It was the way our hands fit together. It was her smile.The true smile. The kind she would have in the purest moment of "her"...

It has been far too long since I have seen that smile.

Who will kiss your forehead as you sleep?

Every night for years

Who will hold you at your sons wedding?

and dry your weeping tears

Who will be rocking on the front porch?

under the Spanish Moss and setting sun

Who will hold your hand in Heaven?

Will I be the one?

Lucero- Hey Darling, do you gamble?

Hey darling, do you gamble?
'Cause I'm running the inside track.
and I'm taking all that I can and I'm never looking back.
Now, I believe you should run with me for a while.

Now, I believe you should run with me until this Texas sun falls into the sea.
If I shed this skin of iron and this breath of kerosene.
Darling, would you take a chance on me?

There's no map shows where I'm going.
and I can't say just where I've been.
But with you, girl, by my side, lord, there ain't no game that I can't win.
Now, I believe you should run with me for a while.

I believe that you should run with me until this Texas sun falls into the sea.
If I shed this skin of iron and this breath of kerosene.
Darling, would you take a chance on me?

And I know you don't know what odds I've got
But intuition sure counts for a lot.
Now, you looked me square in the eyes more than once tonight
I figured you and me, we'll make it just fine.
We'll make it just fine.

Hey darling, do you gamble?
I'll be your gambling man.
Now we'll take all that we can
and we'll never look back again

Now I believe you should run with me.
Hell, now, I believe you should run with me for a while.

Now I believe you should run with me until this Texas sun falls into the sea.
If I shed this skin of iron and this breath of kerosene.
Darling, would you take a chance on me?

Hell, now, I believe you should run with me until this Texas sun falls into the sea.
If I shed this skin of iron and this breath of kerosene.
Darling, would you take a chance on me?
Darling, would you take a chance on me?

Well, I did a terrible job at this blogging thing. To be honest, I've done a terrible job at many things in my life as of late. On one hand, things, in most peoples eyes, is awesome. I play my guitar with my best friends, Don't have to do manual labor and hang out with rockstars, or rather rockstars in some peoples eyes...yet I've learned so much about myself and would give it all...ALL away just to give everything where it belongs.
