Love Can Be Like A P
I wrote this for a song writer circle I was asked to do about a year ago
you have built a prison
the walls made out of love
the bars are made of jealousy
the ceiling made of Rust
All the lies you told me
kept things hidden
and helped to build a prison
around my heart
through all those years of silence
you never once talked to me
about anything important
do you know how that feels
All the lies you told me
kept things hidden
and helped to build a prison
around my heart
in my minds eye I see you
as you used to be
long before all the problems
when you still loved me
All the lies you told me
kept things hidden
and helped to build a prison
around my heart
love can be sad and lonely
and sometimes far too rough
very much like a prison
it can be too much
All the lies you told me
kept things hidden
and helped to build a prison
around my heart
you have built a prison
the walls made out of love
the bars are made of jealousy
the ceiling made of Rust
All the lies you told me
kept things hidden
and helped to build a prison
around my heart
through all those years of silence
you never once talked to me
about anything important
do you know how that feels
All the lies you told me
kept things hidden
and helped to build a prison
around my heart
in my minds eye I see you
as you used to be
long before all the problems
when you still loved me
All the lies you told me
kept things hidden
and helped to build a prison
around my heart
love can be sad and lonely
and sometimes far too rough
very much like a prison
it can be too much
All the lies you told me
kept things hidden
and helped to build a prison
around my heart

you can`t go back
I recently moved back to the town I grew up in after being away for many years.After looking around things were quite a bit different than I remembered.I heard a saying once something like you can`t go back home that`s where this song came from.I recorded it very quickly I need to do a better job when I get the time.
the places that I used to go
back when I was young
they don`t look the same no more
all my friends have gone
some are dead,some moved on
some I just don`t know
maybe I`ll meet up with them
somewhere down the road
you can`t go back,I`ve heard it said before
you can`t go back,you`re a stranger at the door
the life you had there`s no more
the swimmin hole`s been dried up now
for the past few years
we used to have a great time there
swimming and drinking beer
you can`t go back,I`ve heard it said before
you can`t go back,you`re a stranger at the door
the life you had there`s no more
Times faded now in a cloud of dust
but times were never all that good to us
skipping school smoking joints
by the railroad tracks
teachersd looking for us
man we ran so fast
you can`t go back,I`ve heard it said before
you can`t go back,you`re a stranger at the door
the life you had there`s no more
yes it`s true we had good times
but good times have to end
but know that I think of you
often my old friend
you can`t go back,I`ve heard it said before
you can`t go back,you`re a stranger at the door
the life you had there`s no more
Times faded now in a cloud of dust
but times were never all that good to us
the places that I used to go
back when I was young
they don`t look the same no more
all my friends have gone
some are dead,some moved on
some I just don`t know
maybe I`ll meet up with them
somewhere down the road
you can`t go back,I`ve heard it said before
you can`t go back,you`re a stranger at the door
the life you had there`s no more
the swimmin hole`s been dried up now
for the past few years
we used to have a great time there
swimming and drinking beer
you can`t go back,I`ve heard it said before
you can`t go back,you`re a stranger at the door
the life you had there`s no more

Time To Go
I live in an area of central Ny that is always overcast.I wrote this song about 4 weeks ago,while looking out the window at all the clouds thinking how it would be nice to see the sun a couple day a year,andmaybe it`s time for a move.
Dark clouds hanging over me,here in the valley
feel like I `m on the edge of death sometimes
I`m tired of these cloudy days,just got to get away
time for a different place,to call my home
I`ve been living here too long,
time for me to be moving on
it`s time to go
it`s time to go
please don`t ask me to stay,here in this awful place
if I were to stay,I`ld lose my mind
feel like I`m losing ground,here in this nothing town
time to get away ,while I still can
I`ve been living here too long,
time for me to be moving on
it`s time to go
it`s time to go
you ask me where I`ll go,Carolina sounds real nice
seems like a place where I could finally rest my mind
I`m tired of the NY snow,tempratures far too low
Carolina really looks so good right now
I`ve been living here too long,
time for me to be moving on
it`s time to go
it`s time to go
Dark clouds hanging over me,here in the valley
feel like I `m on the edge of death sometimes
I`m tired of these cloudy days,just got to get away
time for a different place,to call my home
I`ve been living here too long,
time for me to be moving on
it`s time to go
it`s time to go
please don`t ask me to stay,here in this awful place
if I were to stay,I`ld lose my mind
feel like I`m losing ground,here in this nothing town
time to get away ,while I still can
I`ve been living here too long,
time for me to be moving on
it`s time to go
it`s time to go
you ask me where I`ll go,Carolina sounds real nice
seems like a place where I could finally rest my mind
I`m tired of the NY snow,tempratures far too low
Carolina really looks so good right now
I`ve been living here too long,
time for me to be moving on
it`s time to go
it`s time to go
