GROWNUP

Saturday, July 9th, 2011

(Carly Simon)

I stood in the doorway in my white nightgown
Red roses on cotton, I stood three feet from the ground
the grownups inside used words I didn’t know
But still I enjoyed the show

They looked so lovely, they looked so self-assured
And I just like them would know it all when I matured
And I wouldn’t be...

After The Storm

Sunday, June 12th, 2011

Heat’s up, tea’s brewed
Clothes strewn around the room
Looks like a wind swept through
Made a wild man out of you
And doesn’t anger turn you on
An expectation of a calm
After the storm

And your body feels so warm
After the storm

The wind’s blowing the moon down
Underneath the eiderdown

SPRING WILL BE A LITTLE LATE THIS YEAR

Friday, January 21st, 2011

(F. Loesser)

Spring will be a little late this year
a little late arriving, in my lonely world over here
For you have left me and where is our April love old
Yes you have left me and winter continues cold
As if to say that spring will be a little slow to start
A little slow reviving that music it made in my heart
Cause time...

Attitude Dancing

Saturday, November 27th, 2010

Baby sneezes
Mommy pleases
Daddy breezes in
So good on paper
So romantic
So bewildering

I know nothin’ stays the same
But if you’re willin’ to play the game
It’s comin’ around again
So don’t mind if I fall apart
There’s more room in a broken heart (broken heart)

Do The Walls Come Down

Tuesday, September 14th, 2010

All those crazy nights when I cried myself to sleep
Now melodrama never makes me weep anymore
’cause I haven’t got time for the pain
I haven’t got room for the pain
I haven’t the need for the pain
Not since I’ve known you

You showed me how, how to leave myself behind
How to turn down the noise in...

HURT

Saturday, July 3rd, 2010

(Crane/Jacobs)

I’m hurt
to think that you lied to me
I’m hurt
Way down deep inside of me
You said
Our love was true
And we’d never part
And now
You want someone new
And it breaks my heart

I’m hurt
Much more than you’ll ever know
I’m hurt
Because I still...

IT WAS SO EASY

Sunday, June 20th, 2010

(Carly Simon/Jacob Brackman)

I remember a time, rompin’ through the woods
Sun against our skin instead of clothes
When we felt hungry we would eat, whn we felt glad we would dance
And whenever we felt drowsy we would doze

It was so easy then never takin’ any stands
It was so easy then, holdin’ hands

I remember...
