American I am a compulsive writer who will write about anything on any scrap of paper I can find
I went to the other side to find him But he was gone So lost to me And all I dreamed was a dark dream A rolling tide Of nothing And me Under a cold white sheet On the hard table Needle putting me to sleep Trying to find him One last time Before he was gone Forever But he was Just as gone as the day I cried Never to be found And only to be mourned

Jack
He was a mountain And she was the sad summer sky And She cried rivers of tears down him That ran into pools of sorrow But no matter what He always made her smile He made her the early spring dawn Eager to be alive And he waited every morning To see her open her eyes But now, her tears are for him She can't bear that he lies in the cold On the hill, below the green Wrapped in his blanket, with his favorite toys And her tears fall on the hard ground All alone and without his brown to hold

War dog
We'll dine in Valhalla tonight Abandon our Ashen bodies on the field Broken swords by our sides We'll drink from the cup of Kings tonight Carried off with songs on our shields Tonight we'll toast; 'Til dawn we fight Again, again ,once more You and I my love Until the end of time

Tonight we'll dine in Valhalla
While I still can Before I become nothing more Than a dusty,old box full of tools On the empty work bench In the way Not to be used anymore But too soon to be given away I have to hurry While I still have things to do

I have to hurry
It's Ireland for the Irish Eire 'Til the end of days When the rain falls in Ireland It falls on Irish Graves From Dublin Pale to the troubled lands Every inch's been been bought and paid By Irish love and Irish blood And sacrifice ever made It's Ireland for the Irish Eire to the end of days

Ireland for the Irish
Woke up to shovel snow in the rain So cold and gray Another day Another day Another day All just the same Still waiting for the warm Waiting for the light of day

Cold
I remember the day the world ended Just went away No flashes of light Nothing to see A Blanket of dark Over my eyes Gone Gone in the night The world over And now nothing more Nothing but war

In the night
Glowing waves of grey and white iridescent clouds wash softly against the pale shores of the night sky They lap against the shining moon But it is a beauty I can’t enjoy My love, my love is not at my side The beauty is lost on me alone I am lost as me alone. She sleeps As the night does beautiful things She sleeps While I wonder What would I ever do without her? All the beautiful things of the world are lost on me alone Tomorrow I think We will watch the sunset and the moon rise Tomorrow, tomorrow

Moonrise
She wears her *** like silk Draped around her in translucent veil Shimmering as she walks In ivory , elegant form She can almost hear the heads turn And feel the men stare As she glides across the room

The entrance
Ready to take a ride Even though the roads aren't paved with gold But I still want to roll Maybe sit at the table with warrior kings of old Come on down Take a ride To the new Alamo Toast of the town Riding alone to the great dining hall Kings and Cowboys To tell their tales of war Shields and spears hanging on the wall Toast! Toast! In new Valhalla At the table of kings and Gods
