Think I’ll take a trip And go downtown Pickup truck With the windows down No sense in hanging around If you like you can come along We’ll be back before you know it Rosie girl you can lead the way Keep us moving to a brand new day There may be some sharp turns definitely We will never be far away Out the door before the morning light Wipe my eyes and shout out loud I love the rain and I love my girl We’ll be back before you know it

Trip
Been singing your song All day long Been flying with my eyes closed And landed right on time Our world has changed in a whisper But faded like a bad dream Sing it soft Sing it slow Sing it mellow And when the dust settles After all of our struggles I will forever have your song Stuck in my head

Your Song
Don’t want to be stuck here In this consorted little circle That everyone’s living in Let us break away Why should we stay We’re all from different towns We’re all from different places

Little Circle
This is my city These are my streets This is my home In the summer heat Walk with me across this long narrow bridge Drop like a rock to the water below There is a pattern you see And it’s following me So let’s keep moving Hold on tight I’m going to make it right It’s a long way back to your world Silky sky say good night

This Is My City
Sitting alone with the paper in my hand Wipe my eyes Clear my head Sip of coffee Something you said I’m coming home on the 6:15 Your dangerouse they say Sitting there dreaming Lean into the wind What a story those eyes do tell Cradle me until tomorrow The lights may seem brighter On the other side of the city 1.8 Million people And with us just two more Such as it is The night calls out To all who wish to be found We’ve gone so far To be where we are I can still see you there Unimpressed and unaware Metro commute 1954 Please Meet me in Motor City Candle light cold winter night We can pass the time away There are days in this city That lead to such lonely nights Uptown in the City It only hurts when I look back Waiting for something that will never be Never mind that dream

Detroit Metro
A quite hangs in the air Like a soft mist envelope Streams of light flow intermittently Why do I return What brings me back to this place I long to be reacquainted Solitude brings great solace Greet me old friend With your tranquil rows Orderliness unparalleled I am humbled by your symmetry Calm uniformity dances in the morning light Saying goodbye is always difficult I will keep this brave face May this world reward you with peace I will return soon

“The Orchard”
The first time I saw her I loved her and I knew Your a long way from home And I hated the fact that you’re going back So I wrote you a poem I picked up my guitar and I played you my song And somehow you came in my life There’s a whole world of people That try every day To find that dear someone To whom they can say Please say you’ll stay and always be close Don’t go away I love you Rose I’ll be the best friend that you’ve ever had Hold you so tight and make you hard glad Make your heart glad The years went by and you stayed by my side Two girls came into our life What joy they did bring like this song that I sing So glad that you are my wife

Rose
The earth rocked hard And took my breath away The walls caved in to trap me On a summers day You are a mystery But don’t change I believe in you I’m a mystery too Night brings darkness And darkness brings fear Fear is the only way out of here Pull me from the rubble

Pull Me From The Rubble
Let us run on a canvas of color Over fields of green Crossing streams of blue On a river of light Let us run to distant places Today and tomorrow We shall see the world My faithful friend No worries no regrets Rain Fall on me As we make our way Rain sweet rain Fall on me

Rain Sweet Rain
You sat in the stairway Hair down in your eyes I was standing by my suitcase Holding your smile Skyfall Wait until tomorrow No one’s going to hurt you Skyfall The clouds are going to take you Wait until tomorrow Skyfall I’m a dreamer Of every blue sky and smile Can’t seem to pull myself away From this magic You’ve heard that story for a while I know Nothing last forever But a part of you will And I can go there whenever That’s a part of me still
