So today is your birthday

27 January 2006

Friday January 27th 2006

So today is your birthday Bridget
So today is your birthday Bridget

Thought I might see you in the streets of NYC
Thought instead of seeing Eric again as I do so often around Union Square I\

I would see you
And I would say hi to you
and I would wish you a very happy birthday

Where were you in 1982 when
I was begining to fall in love with you and what you were

Where were you in 1982?

Oh Bridget
You brought me joy and hope
Oh Bridget
You brought me joy and hope

Oh Bridget
You miraculaous little angel of spirit

Do you know how you walk how you talk
How you say what you say

So you lost your dreams

30 January 2006

So you lost your dreams and you
Made a scene
And it wasn’t what you thought it would be

So you think you lost your dreams and your
Ways and means to get there

So you think that all this is
Just a penitentiary of pain
And little to gain

If anything

So you think you lost your dreams and
All the things that go with it

So you think you lost your dreams

Litte is put to what it seems

I was born another city

13 August 2006

Loose paper white

13 August 2006 sun day to philly

I was born another city
The city of brotherly love

Makes me happy to leave the city
To see what it is that I like so much

When I leave NYC
And see the lights above
And see the other side

I put away my troubles then and
See my life a new again

I was born
Another city
City of brotherly love

I have to leave NYC
To know I'm comin' home again
When I leave NYC New York City
My mouth gets big and wide
Because I know how much I love my home.
Because I know how much is inside

I once thought I knew what I was

13 August 2006

*nyc to philly @ knowing

sun 13 august 2006**

I once thought I knew what I was

I can draw
I can write
I can build
All through the night
I make love
I ride my bike
I lift the wood (I like my life)
I cut the grass

I can love
I can play
I can dance and make my bed

I'm a son
I'm a brother
I'm a sister to all I love

I'm a teacher
I'm a lover

Thought I knew what I was

Inside The Love

13 August 2006

I was born another city
Was not here but we always knew
That 2nd beat is as good as it gets

I was born another city
City of brotherly love
Don’t you knock my hometown city
For the place I grew to love

If you go to my city
Be sure to look inside the love
Inside the love is
Where we grow

Inside the love is
What I know

I Am Free

13 August 2006

I am free
More than I ever know

I am free
More than I was told
To be myself
And watch and grow
To do the things that feed my soul

How long we run to another place
Where the road is rough and hard to ride

How long we fall and take it all
We need to know our foolish pride

I lay me down as pure as I
Know how to be

with help from thee

I am free
More than I ever know

I am free
More than I was told
To be myself
To watch and grow
To do the things that feed my soul

I Give It All Away

13 August 2006

I give it all away
I give it all away

Take my soul and prey that I can
Be the man to _
I live my life in NYC New York City
Not the town that I grew up.

I was born in another city
City of brotherly love

Had a friend who I thought was like
When we got to San Francisco
Things got dark and things got rough

The friend I had had turned to dust
The friend I knew when I was 9
Was not turning me on to die.

I live my life in NYC.
Far from those days

I'm better today and stop to prey
That I was given another try

So Many Angels By My Side

13 August 2006

had so many angels by my side
let me count
the ones I know
from mom and dad and brother Dave
to Heidi, Billy, Bob and Joe.
From Michael, Lori, Kelly too
For you all three showed me love
For you were three that I adored

So many angels by my side
Tht God gave me not to die

From Bobby D to Jimmy McC to
Peter now who stays by me
My friends and family

And let me not forget the crew of
Students that have loved me too
For they may not know it too
But I gave all the love I knew
To help them grow and see
Themselves for what they
Could express and show

In California Where I Almost Died

13 August 2006

had so many angels
by my side
in California where I almost died
thank you lord for all you do
for what you’ve done and what you knew
thank you lord for all you do
fo what you’ve done and seen me thru

chorus
For I was born another city
City of brotherly love
This I know that I've been given
So much more than I can love

So many angels by my side
They seem to show what I try and hide
what I try and hide

Leave Me Be

13 August 2006

leave me be leave me be
to die in peace
without a love to share with me
leave me be
to be alone

where I know it well
this is what I am here to tell

leave me be
to die alone
for what I've learned is to be alone
not what I want but
need to learn

Let Your Light Shine

13 August 2006

let your light shine
let your thoughts ray out
let your sun shine
in the light of your true self

let your light shine
break your way to stay

When The Lonely Tide Rushes In

13 August 2006

when the lonely tide rushes in
and the night begins at 3 am
and the bed you took so lonely then
is wider still cause your lookin' in

when I feel apart
and trippin' then

it's all I want to stay with then
and forget the love that I am too
that we are in this together naked
as thee
naked as a baby

The City I Once Knew

13 August 2006

the city I once knew
so much left here
to reawaken when I walk the streets

so much I thought I knew
when I was young

Pine and Walnut and Spruce
you had so much juice
so much fun
so much begun

where it all began
I had my time
I lost my mind

215 (two one five) was on my side
east and west knew all the best
Peggy

Where it all began
I had my time
Nearly lost my mind

These Streets That Carry More

13 August 2006

these streets that carry more
then what you see and above the floor
these streets that I walk today
hold more than most can say

these streets that carry more
of stories that
have written more
than words can say

I Want To Tell You Now

13 August 2006

I want to tell you now
I want to tell you now
Now and then
Is on my way
I'll be there now
Be there then
I'll walk with your until the end

Now Is then
And then is now
What we did then is still somehow
The best it ever was

Locked In A Cave

19 August 2006

7:13 AM

locked in a cave
locked in a cave
feel like I'm locked in a cage

nothin to save me except something that feels like
rock and roll

Nothing to save me cept something that
Feels like rock and roll
I'm locked in a cage
Got nothing else to say
Feels like days

Seems like nothing can save
Me xcept something like
Rock and roll

The voices are hard to control
The waves are tryin to fold on me
The tempertatures gettin hot and cold
I want to let my self go

And The Words You Spoke

19 August 2006

and the words you spoke since then seem solumn

many thoughts that left me hollow

but thank you for helping me to see
and thank you for helping me to be myself.

The words you spoke were solemn
You told me once again that I
Could be happy
And it hurt my pride
But this time was different
I did not tell you to go away
Or stick my head in shame

And this time I knew when you
Were telling me
That I needed to hear
And that it could be grace that is near

And You Broke Your Diamond Back

19 August 2006

and you broke your diamond back
and there are things you can't get back

and you told me then it was you
that let the love in but I was too old then
to open to you
and when the drugs were not there
I was gone

And you held my hand when
I needed you then

But no
Could not let go
Of my horror show and
Pain that I grew to know and
Love

I was bound to the other side
I was broused I was beaten I was
Tortured to the other side

My dreams where all around the other side

This is where I lived on the other side

Where I thought I'd die
Where I lived most of my life
Where I thought I was made to cry
And die
On the other side

I was bound to the other side

Rolled in a cage of mis knowing
Shacked up in a cage
As a slave to my thoughts and
Chained to the walls of the other side

Lost In A Cave

19 August 2006

lost in a cave
lost in and don’t feel I can be saved

seasons won't change
all that’s glitter won't face
all that’s here won't stay
all that’s used is left to play

Something Better For Me

19 August 2006

and that what I am doing
here is fighting a battle that does not need to be
that there's something better for me
