LEAH JOANNE

 

I was on the lonely road of life

Just watching time go by

But there you where wanting nothing more than the simple things

Nothing more that just to be seen then you found me   

Leah Joanne first woman to see me as I am

You took me in and let me be your man

What a match we make

I would make you laugh

You would make me nervous

Now together we will make this life serve us
 

Leah Joanne first woman to see me as I am

You took me in and let me be your man

Your feeling for me where hit or miss

Even after our first kiss

Pushing me to the side with all the feeling you hide

I told you I couldn't fake happiness

Advice from a friend you let me back in

Leah Joanne first woman to see me as I am

You took me in and let me be your man

I said I would make you love me

You smiled in disbelief

You took my promise for a ring

When I didn't have any thing

Now with you I have everything

Oh, Leah Joanne 

Oh, Leah Joanne

Oh, Leah Joanne

With you makes me a better man

SEEN WITH ME

Had no love on the side living alone

No one there what would happen if I died tonight

Did she find me or did I find her in this lonely world 

Living a dream ever time she looks at me, not even asleep

Was the bar lowered for me, all she wanted was the simple things

She wanted no money

She wanted no expensive things

She just wanted a ring and to be seen with me

Not good enough for what I thought was the one

Just a man under glass, incase of emergency break the glass

That one never got the chance, loving friendship never last

Now I have what was the one passed, much more special than that

Did our path ever cross, where we the two ships in the dark

She wanted love from my heart

She wanted to feel kiss on the neck

She also wanted forever to be seen with me

A voice speaking the word glorious

Gave up a dream and traveled thousand miles just to see

Feeling I was needed until there was no need

Thinking all I needed was a Caribbean dream 

Did I give up on love or did it give up on me

She wanted me in her dream

She wanted to be in mine

She wanted to be at my side just to be seen with me

NARCAN NIGHTMAIR

Waken from a deep sleep 

As she ran from the room like a nightmarish dream

Blonde hair dark skin what she did was a sin

Grey skin he didn't even breathe

What has happened to the sleep I've known

The entrance to a world that is all my own

A comfort that feels like home

Where do I go from here? 

With a mind full of fear

Is the end really near

Waken from the Narcan in his nose

Confused by the torn-up room

What has happened no-one knows

Regretable memory of the past 

The embarrassment will never last

Will there be another chance

Where do I go from here?

With eyes full of tears

Who is this in the mirror
