Once I Was A Hero

Once I was a hero
Once I was a villain
Once I was a lover
Once I was a slave

And I remember feeling
there would never be a healing
I remember thinking
I'll take it to my grave

When the hero became the villain
and then villain became the lover
until the lover discovered the slave.

A Memory Of Love For Me

I hope you find all the dreams you're looking for
and so much more
I hope you find a new love to keep you warm
and make you strong

And I hope you find one day
a memory of love for me
just a memory of love for me

I hope you lose all the pain
yes you were right
it was insane

And I hope you find a way
to hide your scars
but at least your not behind these bars

I hope you find one day
a memory of love for me
just a memory of love for me

Do You Ever Remember…

Do you ever remember
that time one September
when two people met
and one could not forget

Do you ever remember
that time one November
when two people touched
and one could not trust

Do you ever remember
that time one December
when love said goodbye
and love didn't know why

And if you remember
do you ever just wonder
what would have happened to September
if it made through the cold of December

Sailing Through Bad Weather

I am sailing through bad weather
skies are dark over an angry sea
I am calling do you hear me
will you find me before I sleep - so cold

There is thunder, rain is falling
and the wind is all around me - oh poor me
I am so scared I am crying
why's the sea outraged at me – oh help me

I left New England Sunday morning
skies were clear
and I could hear the crowds as they cheered

Win the race boy take first place boy
take first place boy
we're counting on you
to pull the rest of us through
the school too

A Different Direction

Once I was asked for just some affection
to lay down beside just to hold and comfort
I said no it was a pretense to get me to let go

Then I was asked didn't I ever want just affection
I said no I wanted love and love was in another direction
your expression of pain and sorrow hurt as you softly said
and what of tomorrow

I walked away glade to get away
and never thought about tomorrow
until today for today is that tomorrow
and oh how just a little affection now
would take away so much sorrow

So now in my pain as I long for affection
I remember when I chose a different direction.

It's So Nice To Be Home

Isn't it nice to be home again
Sitting around the fire with family and friends
Isn't it nice to be home again
It's so nice to be home

My little daughter's sleeping
And the boy is all right
My wife is so lovely
I'll love her tonight
Looking out the window at a new moon’s light
It's so nice to be home

I took old Blue out hunting on a Saturday
We didn't get home until the middle of May
A freaky winter storm went and blocked our way

Old Blue he kept me thinking and a talking 'bout you
And when Blue got down
I’d talk about Bobby and Sue
Together we did what we had to do

Children I Am Calling You

Children, children
children I am calling you
don't be scared don't be sad
all the fears won't hurt you

You've come so far
so you've got some scars
but you have grown into your own
don't look back just press your attack
all the dreams will come true

Once they said you would never walk
once they said you would never talk
once they said life would pass you by
but they didn't know how you would try

And you showed them all
you'd just get up when you'd fall
you tasted life and you gave it your all

The Night Is When The Wolf Likes To Play

I can't wait for daylight
when everything is okay
I can't wait for daylight
when the sun washes away
the night, the night
‘cause the night is when the wolf likes too play

All the stories you've heard
about the dark in the night
and all the lessons you've learned
about the men who were wolves
is right, yes right
did you hear me howling last night

I was on my way down the Nile
with an expeditionary force
only going to stay for awhile
but of course we got lost
and in the night, the night
I felt the wolf’s magic bite
