The Sinner

Papa said there’d be times like this
But you could put things right with a smile and a kiss
He never made it to the present day
But if he saw us now, what would he say?
Expectations overblown
Limitations not well known
Aspirations carved in stone
Well it just turned out this way
The preacher told me I should trust in fate
To take me through until that terminal gate
I was a young man when I read that sign
Dedicated to a waste of time
And now creation’s on the line
And evolution at the proper time
So absolution can’t be mine
Or anyone at all…
No more deception on the battlefield
A safe harbour is just revealed
Out of the sun upon that fateful day
We watched the sinner as he slipped away
There must be some way we can make it right
See eye to eye and don’t turn down the light
Our little world goes spinnin’ on and on
Without each other now we’ll soon be gone
But celebration is out of place
Unless inclusive in its warm embrace
So what befalls the human race
If we don’t care at all…

Patch

The fences blew down
And the walls slowly crumbled
No glass in the frames, so the wind blows through
And the roof lets in rain
There are tiles that are missing
But they patch it all up, and they give it the best they can
That old house ain't been a home in so long
The love that filled those rooms is long gone
Still they patch it up and carry on
The shadows close in
All of the colours are fading
And out in the yard, can't get the flowers to grow
There's damp in the walls
Where the paint's been peeling
They cover it up, but it always shows through
But that old place ain't had no warmth for so long
The lights that burned so bright don't turn on
And still they patch it up and carry on
Incidental feelings caused the ground to shift and swell
She couldn’t let the last words go, he knew her oh-so-well
They can't break that spell
No music these days
Flows from out of the windows
No sound of laughter like there used to be
The years glide on by
Any whispers grow fainter
But they answer that bell, and still they carry on
That old life ain't had no friends for so long
The social whirl they knew has moved on
Still they patch it up and carry on

Any Other Way

Here comes that California girl
Tall and lovely, hair in a gypsy curl
She gives me a sideways smile
She's enigmatic with a sensual style
I'm out of place
And the time has slipped away
It's too late, I can't have it any other way
I was standing out in the Nashville rain
I wanted one more chance to strut my stuff again
Everybody was just passing by
Concentrating on a younger guy
I'm out of place
And I've lost the will to play
It's too late, I can't have it any other way
Time is a wayward child
Buries you or sets a fire
Weaving dreams that fade from sight
Day becomes an endless night
We're at the crossroads
And the devil wants his pay
Your daddy's footsteps
Long since faded away
No aspiration for a rising son
Another chance for you to get things done
But you could keep on working till the break of day
It's too late, I can't have it any other way
