Hey Yo

(close)

Hey Yo up and on
Hey you off and on
How are we today

Why don't you let your dog run away from his lead
Allow him to roam
He just wants to look around
A little far from home

How 'bout we go for a walk it's safer to kiss outside
How 'bout we don't even talk
I hear your voice and come untied

Hey Yo up and on
Hey you off and on
How are we today

I'll bet you don't want to leave
I'll bet you want to stay
I'll bet you might beg and plead
Then I make you leave anyway

I'll bet you hang around awhile
Outside my front door
I bet you look up at my window and smile
And think of my bare feet on my floor

Hey Yo up and on
Hey you off and on
How are we today
Are we okay

Fall into the ocean
Become one with the sea
I'll spread your ashes there
First spend some time with me

Let me spend and hour with your eyes
A day or two with your nose
A springtime with your mouth
A life time with your toes

Hey Yo up and on
Hey you off and on
How are we today
Are we okay
Hey Yo up and on
Hey you off and on
How are we today
Are we okay
Are we okay
Are we okay

Down For Long

(close)

She holds her heart
Close to herself
She cries alone
Where no one can tell
She smiles at the clouds
Whenever they pass
She sees their beauty and she knows they won't last
They never last for long

Journey she goes
Away in her mind
Enchanted places warm faces
Most never find
She dreams one day she may know
A place to belong
Where cruelty's overthrown
And kindness makes
Kindness makes you strong

Go take away all her passion
Go take away
Her reactions too
Is it her eyes or her soul
Or is it her song
Go take it all away
She won't be down
She won't be down for long

She must be a mystic or a muse
But she can't be believed
Hardened hearts they refuse
They poet can be so strong and free
Can't silence her laughter
When she wants to play
Try and disregard
You'll find you're one more
Who can't stay away

Go take away all her passion
Go take away
Her reactions too
Is it her eyes or her soul
Or is it her song
Go take it all away
She won't be down
She won't be down for long

Go take away all her passion
Go take away
Her reactions too
Its her eyes, Its her soul
And its her song
Go take it all away
She won't be down
She won't be down for long

Dark

(close)

Hey you so open wide
Don't you want to climb inside
Don't you want to read my mind

Hey are you afraid to be led
To the thoughts tossin' round my head?
Darker than the Stephen King books you've read

If reach out will he come
Is he tall and fat short or thin
Will I recognize
The truth behind his lies

Hey are you listening man
Sometimes I think I can
Leave the pain if I only ran

Hey did you hear what I said
Sometimes I lie in bed
I like the idea of bein' dead

Can you tell me just one reason
It might not be me tomorrow
Are you just naïve
Or do you live to believe

If there's only one more
Make it one I will remember
I only ask for this
May I have just one kiss

Hey you so open wide
Don't you want to climb inside
Don't you want to read my mind

Changed Some Too

(close)

Don't be sad
You knew I'd change
You know restless hearts can't stay the same
You have changed some too

I see a little gray hair
The wanting look of your stare
In your eyes I can see
Your heart strings tear

I see that look on your face
You want to find a safe place
To rest your head and
Sleep at night

But don't look to me though you know
I still care
And I guess I've been aware
One day you'd want me there

Not long ago commitment was curse
You wouldn't take any prisoners
You splashed right through
My tears

Don't be sad
You knew I'd change
You know restless hearts can't
Stay the same
You have changed some too

Don't be surprised if I call out your name
Don't be surprised if I
Smile at the rain
Don't be surprised if I
Turn out to be insane

I see a little gray hair
I see that look on your face
I see a man who's
Taken a small boy's place

Don't be sad you knew I'd change
Don't be sad you knew I'd change
In your heart you must have known
I'd change

But you have changed some too

Blue-Eyed Girl

(close)

Here's to the blue eyed girl
The one down the hall
Here's to the brown-eyed boy
The one you can't call
Here's to the white hot coals
Their burning sensation
Here's to your lips on my mouth
Sweet temptation
Divine
Divine

Here's to a life that is true
Honest and good
Here's to the one that I know
Call it misunderstood
Here's to your heart beat and sigh
A simple reaction
To that look in my eye

History plays a funny game
Turn pages again and again
Will we be the same
Or will you and I remain

Washed by the rain

Here's to your patience so fair
I'll string you along
Here's to your hand in my hair
It lingered so long
Here's to the flame as it died
Night turned to day
And to the look in my eye
As I drove away
Divide
Divide

History plays a funny game
Turn pages again and again
Will we be the same
Or will you and I remain

History plays a funny game
Turning pages again and again
Will we be the same
Or will you and I remain

Washed by the rain
Washed by the rain
Washed by the rain
