1. NEVER IS A LONG TIME

If I stall at all or
Hesitate
The world of always
Never seems to wait
A comedy that could be
So divine

A shadow born
To steal the light of day
You woke me up
And said “c’mon let’s play”
Well now I know
That never has….it’s way

You are you are
The star I say
From far from far
From far away
The laws that cause
It all to stay
By you by you
By you by you
For you I do

I thought I’d done it all
I thought I knew
But nothing ever looked
As good as you
Now every never
That I knew was fine
Never is a long time

And now I share
This feeling with my dad
Stolen goods aren’t always
Half that bad
The never that we’ll always

The faded piping on your press
Will always have its place I guess
By you by you
A common love
That we can bless
The pleasure of
My child’s mess
Golden books
And tenderness
Have rescued me
From emptiness


2. LOVE OF YOUR LIFE

Sat on a cliff
Wondering what did I miss
I watch the waves come in
Roll in, roll out
Without a single doubt

Love on a bluff
Is there ever enough
I stare into the air
Somewhere out there
The family affair
Bring home the night

Hey, I know that you turned on the light
Hey, so slow but you gave me
The love of my life

Coming up short
And I’m sad to report
We fuss and fight tonight
Your case, my case
Another day to waste

Lovers don’t mix
When they can’t even fix
A plot that has a twist
To share, my prayer
I need my baby bear
Come home tonight
