I Will Fly - Demo
02:52
|
|||
A storm is rising over the hills
I feel the wind and I hear the rain
It surrounds me and makes me think of you
and takes away my pain
My soul longs to fly and soar with the wind
to return to the things I’ve lost
The memory burns, the fire returns
and it all comes with a cost
Chorus:
And I will fly. Fly.
I will fly. Fly back home to you.
The rain is falling over me now
It hides the tears running down my face
The wind blows near and settles my fears
it fills that empty space
It won’t be long before I’m traveling home
And back to the life I miss
A lifelong love from the heavens above
A tenderhearted kiss
Chorus
And I will fly. Fly.
I will fly. Fly back home to you.

Time Moves Slowly - Demo
03:37
|

Time moves slowly, when I’m with you.
Love me, hold me, I’ll always be true
When we were young we didn’t have a care,
under a sky so blue
Our love was strong, we knew we’d go somewhere
And so we said I do
Time moves slowly, when I’m with you.
Love me, hold me, I’ll always be true
The baby came I looked into his eyes,
He looked so much like you
The sleepless nights the never ending cries
It all felt so brand new
Time moves slowly, when I’m with you.
Love me, hold me, I’ll always be true
The days they slip away, how time flys by
Even when I’m with you
The kids they grow so fast, don’t blink an eye
I guess the sayings true
Time moves slowly, when I’m with you.
Love me, hold me, I’ll always be true
But still our love is strong, We’re getting by
There’s nothing we can’t do
Enjoying moments, making up the time
When I can’t be with you
Time moves slowly, when I’m with you.
Love me, hold me, I’ll always be true
Time moves slowly, when I’m with you.

Place your hand in mine and feel my heart
Beating faster all the while
Hold me in your arms and don’t let go
Stay with me tonight
From a distance
You have stolen my heart
My desire
for you will tear me apart
You come near me
You don’t even know
How I want you
My love isn’t ready to show
Place your hand in mine and feel my heart
Beating faster all the while
Hold me in your arms and don’t let go
Stay with me tonight
We’re together
They can’t keep us apart
If it feels right
this might just be a new start
Whisper softly
The things you want me to know
Don’t hold back now
I don’t want to see you go
Place your hand in mine and feel my heart
Beating faster all the while
Hold me in your arms and don’t let go
Stay with me tonight

I’m tired of writing love songs
I need an upbeat tune
no more wailing on guitar
or howling at the moon
Those sappy scrappy love songs
they start to make me cringe
I need a change, a different tune
a life out on the fringe
When all your songs are love songs
you wonder what to do
I’m sick of sappy love songs
so instead I’ll play the uke
I took your uke down off the wall
to write this silly song
if you dont mind I’ll put it back
i’m sure it wont take long
a uke song is a happy one
its hard to wear a frown
when playing ukulele
that frown turns upside down
When all your songs are love songs
you wonder what to do
I’m sick of sappy love songs
so instead I’ll play the uke
On the uke it is much easier
to play that damn F chord
It opens up a bigger world
of writing songs galore
Thank you for your instrument
You are so very kind
I love the way you look at me
when I’m singing by your side
Oh shit
It turned into a love song
I think that I am doomed
To sing of love in every song
until I’m sixty two
When all your songs are love songs
you wonder what to do
I’m sick of sappy love songs
and I guess this one is too

Apple Pie - Demo
02:40
|
|||
It started with an apple
on crisp fall day
He took a bite and knew
What he’d be doing that day
He took 5 cups of flour
One pound of lard
A teaspoon of salt
from the mason jar
Mixed it all together
with a whole lot of love
A warm and flaky crust
from heaven above
As he rolled out the dough
They laughed and cried
He knew her so well
He didn’t even have to try
He looked into her eye
Offered her some pie
Said they’d be together
Till the day that they died
A universe of love
in every single bite
And when you were in need
He would make you Apple pie
Like the dough their love
Was just the right size
No holes on the bottom
When he laid it inside
Next came the apples
Peeled with care
Add a pat of butter
Now we’re getting somewhere
When a pie’s made with love
It always turns out right
Doesn’t matter what is in it
All your probems hide from sight
He could never refuse
That single request
His heart was always open
And he gave it his best
He looked into her eye
Offered her some pie
Said they’d be together
Till the day that they died
A universe of love
in every single bite
And when you were in need
He would make you Apple pie
The love they had together
Was pure and strong
And she knows how much he loved her
Even now that he’s gone
He touched so many hearts
That still to this day
They’re singing his praises
In so many ways
He looked into her eye
Offered her some pie
Said they’d be together
Till the day that they died
A universe of love
in every single bite
And when you were in need
He would make you Apple pie

I'm Listening - Demo
02:59
|
|||
How do you turn away
From your desires now
They’ve fueled you with hope
And replaced your doubts
How do you live your life
Without trusting a soul
I know there’s a story
You have not yet told
[ch] Oh, I’m listening
Do you hear me
I’m listening
Please don’t fear me
Soon the moon will take its place
And dreams will fly if they can find a space
Oh, let the stories flow
Cuz I’m listening
I’m listening
Tomorrow will come by
With the sun and warm rays
And you’ll have a chance
To go or to stay
[ch] Oh, I’m listening
Do you hear me
I’m listening
Please don’t fear me
Soon the moon will take its place
And dreams will fly if they can find a space
Oh, let the stories flow
Cuz I’m listening
I’m listening
[br] We’re all just travelers
On a big round ball
It’d be nice to connect
On some level, that’s all
Repeat ch

Hide the Tears - Demo
03:34
|
|||
Your life is a song
But somewhere it all went wrong
In grief, and fear you find it
Hard to stay so strong
You lay down to bed
The voices are in your head
Feeding your doubts and fears
All hope and wonder fled
Chorus:
You hide the tears
You’ve cried for years.
Smiled through the pain and sorrow
Hidden in your eyes.
Don’t let the fear
Of pain be near.
You need a hand to hold
And mine will be right here
You hide it so well
Your loved ones under your spell
Afraid of the battle raging
Inside; your inner hell
I watch from afar
Keep wondering where you are.
Lost in your pain and sorrow
Wishing on a star
CHORUS
No one knows your fear
I see it from here
What can I do
To save you?
