Violet Hour

1.
Day into night
Just another night
I always said I wanted some time to myself
My mind is blue
A dark and heavy blue
I’ll just imagine I see the stars shining through
But now it’s the end of the line
No moon in sight, just a light fall shower
In my mind it’s always the violet hour
2.
Have you forgotten
That stolen afternoon
The sun was streaming through all that smoke in the room
You said you loved me
And I was not surprised
You blew your cover with that look in your eyes
But now it’s the end of the line
What good is sweet without a little sour
In my mind it’s always the violet hour
I should’ve known a happy ending
Was not in the stars, at least not for you and me
But I thought we could be the
Exception to the rule
I know I’m a fool
3.
Pour another round
Just one more sip
I’ve always loved the feel of a glass on my lips
We almost made it
Just you and I
We almost had our chance to touch the sky
But now it’s the end of the line
Do we resign, or just keep on dreaming
In my mind it’s always the violet hour

Nowhere Town

Eyes on the line
Keep my eyes
On the dotted yellow line
Gonna leave this town behind
Night, dark night
Cut by my headlights
Just like all those movie scenes
This town put a dimmer on my dreams
I’m not stopping ‘til I get to neon lights and the big hot sun
I’m going straight to he top of the world
My time in this nowhere mountain town is done
Just passing through
Like I do
Sure as hell won’t stay too long
By tomorrow I’ll be gone
Eyes on the line
Keep my eyes
On the dotted yellow line
Gonna leave this town behind
I’m not stopping ‘til I get to neon lights and the big hot sun
I’m going straight to he top of the world
My time in this nowhere mountain town is done
Just passing through
Like I do
Sure as hell won’t stay too long
By tomorrow I’ll be gone

Sea Song
02:21
|

I’ve spent many hours of my life
Voyaging off in my mind
Fathoming fathoms below
Dreaming of life on the sea
Tossed by the wind and the waves
I live for the thrill of each storm
Enveloped by a calm night sky
The blanket of stars keeps me warm
And now I am here
Upon deep blue waters
Sailing through life on the arms of the sea
The power of the sea has seduced me
The sails of my heart are unfurled
But just below each crashing wave
Is a quiet and delicate world
And now I am here
Upon deep blue waters
Now we are here
We’re finally free
Now we are here
With all we could hope for
Sailing through life on the arms of the sea

A Spruce Tree
A creek bed
A path into the woods
Is someone there
I hear you
A barred owl
Calling
Who
Who cooks for you
Who cooks
Who cooks for you all

Wheel of Fortune

|

Come on wheel of fortune
Gonna give you one more spin
Maybe this time will be my big win
Chasing gold and rainbows
Is wasting my time again
But there’s more than one way
To cash in
I’m tired of waiting for the good life
Gonna grab the reins today
Then I’ll see to it that things
Go my way
I saw that glimmer on the horizon
It used to seem so far away
I think it’s finally my
Lucky day

Julep
01:58
|

I never was the girl next door
With eyes like these,
And thighs like these,
I was the hometown carnivore
Get me a drink
But don’t be long
These gin martinis make me wild as the Amazon
I will admit that I’m a tease
But I’m not easy
Only the best can pass my test and even then
There’s not a guarantee
‘f’ya wanna get inside my . . . heart
It takes a real man
A man’s man
Who’s handy with his gun
And when he shoots he always hits his mark
Play your cards right
You can’t go wrong
Just stir me up and you’ll be sippin at my Julep ‘til dawn

This peach is ripe
And waiting to be picked
Don’t leave me hangin’ on this tree
This appetite
Has a hankerin’ for a peach
And baby, you’re the perfect peach for me
Are you sayin’
Yes, I’m sayin’
We’re the ones that we’ve been waitin’ for
We don’t have to wait around anymore
2.
This kettle’s hot
I’m steamin’ up the place
Don’t leave me whistlin’ off key
This whistle’s wet
I’ll pour you into my cup
‘Cause baby, you’re my perfect cup of tea
Are you sayin’
Yes, I’m sayin’
We’re the ones that we’ve been waitin’ for
We don’t have to wait around anymore
I like this rhyme scheme
Everything rhymes all the time theme
No more of this
Tomato, tomahta,
Potato, frittata
What we’ve got is a fine thing
3.
This engine’s revved
Come take me for a spin
Don’t leave me idlin’ on the street
I’ve got the keys
I’ll take you out on the town
‘Cause you’re the perfect set of wheels for me
Are you sayin’
Yes, I’m sayin’
We’re the ones that we’ve been waitin’ for
We don’t have to wait around anymore
4.
This flower’s in bloom
Put me in your bouquet
Don’t let this blossom go to seed
I’d say this room
Could use some sprucin’ up
And you’re the splash of color that it needs
Are you sayin’
Yes, I’m sayin’
We’re the ones that we’ve been waitin’ for
We don’t have to wait around anymore
No, we don’t have to wait around anymore

Water rushes all around me
In the distance something’s burning
The falls are closer
They thunder louder
Someone’s standing on the highway
In the distance bells are ringing
The falls are closer
They thunder louder
Water rushes all around me
Sun is setting in the distance
Now the sky
Is cast in gold
Everything’s suspended
Now I can let go
Over the edge in my dream
The view from up here
Goes on forever it seems
Every detail is suddenly clear
