Let U Go 02:30
Let U Go (Copyright 2021 David Stephenson) Someday I hope I find U All alone in a grassy meadow I'll be the wandering soldier And you with a light amnesia I'll do all the things I did before But this time I'll do them better I'll say all the things I said before But this this time I'll say them sweeter Wind you and watch the show Then let U go Wind you up enjoy the show Then let U go I'll open my eyes and shut my mouth And just watch the dark clouds passing Open my heart and shut my mouth And just watch the damsel dancing Wind you up and watch the show Then let U go Wind you up enjoy the show Then let U go Wind you up and watch the show Then let U go Wind you up and watch the show Then let U go Let U go, Let U go, Let you go

Naked Eye Astronomer (Copyright 2021 David Stephenson) If I ever really lost you, I would have had to find you But the haystack hid the needle And the needle moved around and around From town to town. The approach, the collision, the after parting Seemed over before it even started But from my position it seemed to last a long, long time A long, long time The convergence of our orbits There's proof it really happened From nosey neighbors an naked eye astronomers Boil it down the brain stem, neuropathy a friction Were the sparkles a mere figment An illusion pure fiction Pure fiction The convergence of our orbits There's proof it really happened From nosey neighbors an naked eye astronomers They said it was over before it even started They said it was over before it even started They said it was over before it even started

Cold 04:07
Cold (Copyright 2021, David Stephenson) Every night I scream, I can't see you I can't feel you, I can't go on Far across the distance, big space between us You never come, I can't go on Near, far, wherever you are I know that your heart is long gone dear Nevermore will you open Open my door Baby your here in my heart, but my heart is cold Maybe your here in my heart, but my heart is cold Love touched us one time Is one time enough? I gotta drive on Safe to say I loved you Polaroids I cling to Safer said, I gotta move on Near, far, wherever you are I know that your heart is long gone dear Nevermore will you open Open my door Baby your here in my heart, but my heart is cold Maybe your here in my heart, but my heart is cold You're not here, there's nothing I fear Though I know that your heart will go on dear You'll stay forever away Baby your here in my heart, but my heart is cold Maybe your here in my heart, but my heart is cold Baby your here in my heart, but my heart is cold Maybe your here in my heart, but my heart is cold

The Carousel Waltz (Copyright 2021, David Stephenson) Grab a chair notice the form placed before you Use a pen not a number 2 pencil Go ahead print your name Where it says print your name And sign on the bottom line won't you Can you tell me about yesterday's weather Are you of a sound mind and body Do you know today's date What's the last thing you ate And the name of of the current Presidente' Check the yes or no box Are you wearing matching sox Can you tie your own shoes Mr. Early Do you follow the news Does it bring you the blues Seems like the same thing over and over again When your dancing the Carousel Waltz Dancing the Carousel Waltz The music stops, but there's no stepping off Dancing the Carousel Waltz Check the yes or no box Are you wearing matching sox Can you tie your own shoes Mr. Early Do you follow the news Does it bring you the blues Seems like the same thing over and over again When your dancing the Carousel Waltz Dancing the Carousel Waltz Once music starts, but there's no getting off Dancing the Carousel Waltz Now your dancing the Carousel Waltz Dancing the Carousel Waltz Once music starts, but there's no getting off Dancing the Carousel Waltz

Open Your Mind (Copyright 2021, David Stephenson Some say the War is never over The War is never over But say hey, There's a peace to be discovered And it's growing deep inside your brain Glowing deep inside you brain All that fear and the anger that you carry Is strictly voluntary So come swim in the Sea of Understanding So deep the hurt can't penetrate So calm the hatred floats away And each day a love grows never-ending A love grows never-ending Each day a love grows never-ending A love grows never-ending Open your heart Open your mind Brother's and Sister's Set down that weight you choose to carry It's all extraordinary We're all just crooked saplings Looking to the sky for rain Bending to the sky for rain And each day a love grows never-ending A love grows never-ending Each day a love grows never-ending A love grows never-ending Shut your eyes Open your mind Open your mind Open your mind

Sleepytime Tea (Copyright 2021, David Stephenson Anytime you need me I'll be there for you I'm staying only minutes away Anytime you need me I will come to you I'm sleeping only minutes away As the shadows collapse And the birds fold their wings A mind can get busy Mulling over things Anytime you text me will run to you I'm staying only minutes away Anytime you call me I will come to you I'm sleeping only minutes away The hopes, the regrets About what to do next The people that stand in your way The things that you see That no one else sees The clouds in your sleepy time tea Anytime you call me will come to you I'm staying only minutes away Anytime you text me I will come to you I'm sleeping only minutes away As the shadows collapse And the birds fold their wings A mind can get busy mulling over things
