I only like the young ones
The beautiful and tall
If they've got it all together
It's for sure I'm gonna fall
Every spring and summer
I go through that same phase
But winter chills this heart of mine
And we go our different ways

I get bored way too easily
No woman likes me long
We're incompatible in love
But it's sad to be alone
It's just the natural way of things
As love goes against the grain
I can't change my ways for her
As the pleasure turns to pain


AND TONIGHT ONCE MORE I'M OUT OF LOVE AGAIN
BACK OUT IN THE COLD COLD NIGHT WITH THAT OH SO ICY WIND
SUMMER DAYS ARE MEMORIES AND WINTER JUST STORMED IN
AND TONIGHT ONCE MORE I'M OUT OF LOVE AGAIN

I only like the young ones
The beautiful and tall
The brunette or the redhead
Or the bleach blond Barbie doll
Where there's smoke there's fire
It burns up in a blaze
But love can't last forever
'Cause we have such different ways

I get bored way too easy
no woman loves me long
It's my incompatibility
Though it's sad to be alone
so as I travel down this road
And I sing my sad love song
I'll keep rollin' town to town
Till this highway leads me home


CHORUS

I'm feeling like
I don't really
Have anything to
H O LD
Onto anymore
And I'm not
Very good at
H O L D I N G
On by myself.

If life was a dream,
...
..
.
I'd be asleep.

Flow enough tears
but all these years
I burn them in fire.

Still a drop or two
past fire come through
finding earth's need too dire.

Poetry is the music to my soul
The words that bring about healing
Putting pen to paper and writing
Leaving emotions open and revealing

Cathartic release as the words flow
Staining the blank white page
Helping to raise and deal with all
The bitterness, sadness and rage

My poetic journey takes me
To places that need to be faced
No matter how hard or painful it may be
How bitter the aftertaste

Emerging from the final line
Renewed, refreshed and calm
Shedding the pain of writing these words
The finish, a soothing balm
