A hurricane is coming
One with devastating winds
Time to hunker down and pray
Much to my chagrin

Worrying about our safety
Our unease and concerns
The danger here is eminent
Swirling as it churns

Time to be with family
To guard and to protect
Preparations made
For what hasn't happen yet

Waiting on impending doom
Hard to not feel gloom
The crack of lightning and the thunder boom
The gusting wind to its own tune

A form is born, yeah
Commission override
Straight into an aftershock
Imagining my pride

When it's over
The shift is made, yeah
Combustion in the pipes
That's my trade, yeah

Had to stop it
Called in the troops
Always slamming me
Kicking with those boots

You have passion
A truly great lovers tool
You had me so connected
But I was way too cool

Your a technician
A master of your craft
Asked for a promotion
He just sat back and laughed

So now it's game time
Just like tradition
Sent me out on
A greater mission

When completed
I went on home
My mother waiting
Speaking on the telephone

What came next
I shouldn't say
Had me distracted
Not in a bad way

Oh, how long I've waited
The games have just begun
Starting over
I've already won
I've already won

You mean the world to me
There is no denying
You cracked your whip
Truly death defying

I had a good run
No complaints
It's time I moved on
After finishing in first place

Nothing ventured
Nothing gained
Asked for a promotion
Now I'm getting paid

No dilly dally
Let's be on our way
There's nothing more to do
There's nothing left to say

I can feel the heat
Of your body next to mine
No need to be discreet
When love is on the line

Tangled in the web we weave
You're all that's on my mind
Seems as though we are stuck
Our bodies intertwined

Not a spoken word is chimed
Break your spirit
As well as mine

Melting down into the sheets
Got to catch up with my dreams

Can't get used to working on Sunday
Got some place to be
Turn into a pumpkin, on the stroke of three

Watching from a distance, so that you don't cheat
As long as a toenail
Starring at webbed feet

Don't know who to follow
Out there on the street
A gulp and then a swallow
Every time we meet

Drowning in my sweaty palm
I still can feel the beat
Headfirst into water
Retreat, retreat, retreat

Wall walker, running from a chimpanzee
Mood talker, colder than chocolate ice cream

Highways end, so slam the breaks with antifreeze
Falling down, praying on my hands and knees

Pale skin, dryer than a sandy beach
Can't handle, more than one hundred degrees

Burnt toast, spread with old cottage cheese
Now freeze, and everybody hug a tree

On your way down, suspended in good company
Way back, wondering how this came to be

Go faster, but no faster than a sudden breeze
Not one, not two, everything that comes in threes

Slow motion, watching on a movie screen
Bad habits, do them if you so please

Carry me to h-town
Walk along the shore
Crispy bacon medley
Wanting more and more

Shaved cat, a whisker causing me to sneeze
Black rabbit, softer than a cute bunny

When the time is right
To hold on tight
I'll call you in to say goodnight

Wish you well, on your future remedies
Sleep tight, knelt down
on a bended knee

Dream, away your fears
Play, with your friends and peers
Shed, away your tears
Follow, your heart held dear

I used to have dreams
Like most people do
Expanding my horizons
Just to get back home to you

But would it even matter
Do you even have a clue
I'm a walking/talking disaster
The opposite of you

You gave me hope
When I was down
You lifted me up high

You encouraged me
When all was lost
I still can't look you in the eye

You helped bring out the best in me
And for that, I thank you dear
You saw what I didn't see
Even through you shed some tears

I do not want to make you cry
Or suffer any heartache
The day we met I should have known
It would all end up in heartbreak

I can't take that day back
My hearts under attack
You knew just where to find it
Like directions on a map

I hold you in the best regards
No apologies are needed
The only thing that I can do
Is make sure it's not repeated

Now my dreams have all been realized
Your smile has returned
There is nothing to fear at all
No need to be concerned

You're the love of my life
There is no denying that
I just wish I knew the ending
The last and final act

I am aware of how it works
Of how I came to be
Your presence was required
Of this we should agree
For years you were protector
Of fragile cargo so to speak
You brought me with you everywhere
The Shepard with its sheep
Investing time and money
And many sleepless nights
With no manual to speak of
To teach the wrongs and rights
I was fed when I was hungry
I was taught my A, B, C's
I was taught to use the *****
To say "thank you", and "please"
To say "excuse me" when I burped
"God bless you" when you sneezed
Just a general compilation
Of everything I'd need
As the years have passed
I've grown into a man
And I have you to thank
For everything I am
Yes, I still have some rough edges
And mistakes are common place
But the fact is, I'm alive and well
Thanks to your guiding grace
On this day that is so special
I hope it stands above the rest
Know you're loved by all around you
And that you're nothing but the best!

He was just a roaming man
With nowhere left to go
Turning down a winding road
Searching for his home
Staring at the lives of which
He'll never know
Wondering how he ended up
So lost and all alone.

He hadn't had a sober day
Since the third day back in June
So lazy he couldn't pray to God
So he settled for the moon.
This man he had some big ideas
But never set a goal
The world just keeps on spinning 'round
Where it stops, nobody knows.

Some days are transparent
Others are cloudy filled with smog
He never had a best friend
Not even a dog
He just went through the motions
Alienating everybody within reach
Making mistake after mistake
He was one you couldn't reach

He wasn't very stupid
He wasn't very smart
It was clear that he was suffering
From a broken heart
Among some other things
Disappointed in his choices
Which direction leads to change?
Running around in circles
Stuck inside a maze
Seems I've been saying this for days
Lost his mind, he'd gone crazy
Stuck in ambiguity
Hidden in the leaves.
