Match

Taking a day off and leaving you with this wonderful original in case you haven’t already listened.

Match

The weight of your worries

Weighs heavily on my mind

As we both search for answers

That are impossible to find

A kind word or a loving gesture

Cannot fix what is broken

But what hurts the most

Are all of the words unspoken

I’d like to say It’ll be okay

But we both know that’s not true

When no words can cure the pain today

It’s the little things that get you through

So if you need a light to guide the way

I’ve still got a match or two

So tell me to go or tell me to stay

But I’ll still be there for you

You’re going through the motions

But underneath that front

Is all the pain and turmoil

Of which you bear the brunt

I’d like to say It’ll be okay

But we both know that’s not true

When no words can cure the pain today

It’s the little things that get you through

So if you need a light to guide the way

I’ve still got a match or two

So tell me to go or tell me to stay

But I’ll still be there for you

Love Song

They want another love song

or a cheery tune

to ease their troubled minds

from their hearts of ruin.

They think it should be easy

to write about such bliss,

but love lasts but an hour

ending without a kiss.

Move fast,

bite the bullet,

dodge the blows,

fight the man,

persevere,

reach your goals.

Stand your ground,

but wait your turn,

lead the pack,

start the burn.

Open your heart,

but guard it well,

climb all the way

back from hell.

Move fast,

think ahead,

dodge the blows,

blaze the trail,

persevere,

reach your goals.

Flee

Tell me just once,

that’s all it will take,

to make me stay forever

or leave me in your wake.

Tell me you feel it too

and that it’s not just in my mind

that my heart belongs to you

in a love that is so blind.

Tell me the truth,

no matter what it may be,

since we’ve only got tonight

before the flames will flee.

One Song

I have seen song bring together

two people who never knew

what they didn’t have in common

was all it took to say “I do.”

I have seen a gentle tune

heal the deepest wounds

created by a hate so deep

that all mankind should be doomed.

I have seen a heartbeat pulse

to a beat that shakes the soul

that once lay dormant

just waiting to become whole.

With all that music can do

there still exists one song

that drove us two so far apart

pointing out all that’s wrong.
