you glide away and fade into the fog
like you can hear my inner monologue
your heels they echo off the pavement
as it glistens from the dew
you’re technicolor i’m in black and white
my world is shadows and perennial night
i know why you’re leavin
ain't no better thing for you
Whatever all it is you’re bout to do
It’s something irresistible
i know your husband was a shady guy
your cool indifference … belied by your eyes
you know they’re gonna drag the river
and that can’t be good for you
Whatever all it is you’re bout to do
It’s something irresponsible
we had our time together… long ago
one of us was very young
i feel for you i feel i really do
but i belong here in the shadows without you
Whatever all you’re bout to do
It’s something irreversible

Indeed Believe

the moon doesn’t care
that you’re feeling lonely
the skies they don’t care
you lost your one and only
Indeed | you are all on your own
Believe | you are never alone
know that you have a home
in me
the world doesn’t care
if you wander forever
the cosmos don’t care
whether we are together
the stars they don’t care
that your heart’s a breakin
the night doesn’t care
that you’ve been forsaken
Indeed | you are all on your own
Believe | you are never alone
know that you have a home
in me
are you a Nikita or a Lolita
i suppose when they find the body, then we’ll know
the moon doesn’t care
if you find what you’re looking for
the cosmos don’t care
that i’m falling in love

10 Years

it’s been 10 long years since i saw your eyes
took me all that time just to realize
what i shoulda done and what i shouldn’t said
but i went and did the opposite instead
it’s been 10 long years since i heard your name
but i’m oft reminded of it all the same
in the virga gloom and in the rails below
my descent to hell is proving long and slow
oh well oh well oh well
its been 10 long years since I smeld your hair
but there’s evocation of it everywhere
in the petrichor and the western wind
in the sullen downpour wert to cleanse my sins
it’s been 10 long years since i saw you smile
next time i do the same’s gonna be a while
cuz i’m in purgatory on a mortal plane
and the reckoning be every day’s the same
oh well oh well oh well
it’s been 10 long years since i saw your grave …
would there were a lord, i’d pray my soul to save
oh well oh well oh well

anna lee, anna lee
a specter ‘neath the olive tree
in black at dawn, shoulders drawn
there from midnight, [her] eyes to feet
[this] nightly scene evokes the tragic
twilight quietly bows to magic
anna lee anna lee
eyes as black as [the] ravens circlin’
pall of sadness shadows be
would you would you be my gal
i am i am in your thrall
you beckon but you don’t see me at all
it was something ‘bout a fire
it was something ‘bout a death
it was something ‘bout betrayal
no one seems to know the rest
all I knows is anna lee’s behest
steeled my soul to end this yearning
i know her, she’ll know me yet
but my pony pulled up spooky
as I approached her silhouette
and as i neared she disappeared
my ghost love done just ghosted me
it was something ‘bout a fire
it was something grim and gory
it was something ‘bout betrayal
no one seems to know the story
and i’m left twisting in the blackest wind
would you could you come for me
darkness seems to follow me
anna lee, anna lee
lies beneath the olive tree
died in 1853
yet somehow she calls to me

Redemption Redux
03:58

been a lot of things i done
i probly shoulda told
i reckon it might go down hard
and so my tongue i hold
coulda been a better brother
could a been a better soul
but being somethin else
the only thing i ever known
bearing out of riverside
shoulda stood in bed
headed to los angeles
found sorrow in its stead
trouble with them ponies
they never run my way
now some guys named tony
sayin’ time’s run out to pay
would that i had my winchester
would that i had some gold
would that i had redemption
for this old sodden soul
and all i ask of you is…
don’t bring me down (I got a lot goin on right now)
don’t bring me down (i got plenty of cause to be …)
don’t bring me down
and i’m doing okay, anyway
this gimpy leg some 12 years now
falling drunk off a train
I lived the way I wanted to
it hurts now when it rains
my left eye’s still kinda fuzzy
from that run-in with your ‘friends’
I made mistakes at your expense
too late to make amends
and I know that … so in the meantime, I’m just asking you
don’t bring me down (I got a lot on my mind on right now)
don’t bring me down (i got plenty of cause to be …)
don’t bring me down
and i’m doing okay, anyway

GMacGuffin San Diego, California
I write songs about bad people in unfortunate circumstances, then sing and play them standing up (the songs, not the people).
Sometimes I record them so I can play drums and such.
