Like Beginnings 03:47

Like Beginnings (JDA) A new sunrise like beginnings it can spur you on a big surprise (it) always catches me offguard it comes, flows can you feel it now? It's hope, it grows but it comes and goes Time it holds you down or it can lift you up It carries you around like the wind it fills your sails it comes, blows can you see just how it's hope grows you already know once you find it grabs hold of you you can't let go In turn in kind If you hang on you can't fail It calls you home can you hear it now It's life, gold Don't let it go ....don't let it go

I Wanna Believe 03:16

I Wanna Believe Joel Pirard 2004 Sometimes when we love, we start to say the things we feel Sometimes when we trust we still have something to conceal Somewhere in our senses there are secrets deep within Although we lower our guard it’s still so hard to let them in I wanna believe in you I wanna believe in me I wanna believe it’s true For me, and for you Somewhere there’s a place we go when we are joined together Somewhere where we’re safe and nothing’s there to separate us Somehow we can say that we are sure to beat the odds We’ll go on as one heart we know that we can make it happen I wanna believe in you I wanna believe in me I wanna believe it’s true For me, and for you

Someday 05:21
lyrics
buy track
SOMEDAY Can’t you stop this silly game, Running out no one to blame? Can’t you feel, that this is real? And I need someone to believe in Did you not feel any shame, For the fortune and the fame? Is it you or is it me. Who just needs someone to believe in? Someday never comes although we need to feel it. No one ever sees although they need to hear it. Laying down the answer, trying to perfect it Asking all the questions, will you just Reject it? Does this feeling ever change Asking if you’ll rearrange, What you say and what you do Do you have some one you can count on? Ask me not what I can’t feel. Or why this moment isn’t real, I was hoping, for an answer And I need someone I can count on Somewhere I have traveled though I never found it Sometimes I have seen It though it wasn’t there If I find the answer I will look to share it It’s the only way I know That I can find it fair Copyright 2003 Joel Pirard

A Bitter Pill 05:57

A Bitter Pill (Wasted Days and Silent Nights) Words by Don Pitz Music by Joel Pirard, Jeff Kalmar, John Curtin, and Arno Tietje I fell asleep today got myself in deep today I wake and then I find all this time been driving blind I fell asleep to dream woke up where I shouldn't have been I crawled into a wall bumped my head and fell that's all Warm wind blows Thanksgiving Eve, walking down the streets of dreams A wonderous night that ends too soon hansom cabs and limp balloons Remember our next Halloween, met underdog and closet queens how we turned on New Years Eve sleeping pills and wild turkey Cold Mornings Bitter Days Summer Sun turned violet haze A cold morning New years Day angry words turned violent rage A bitter pill I swallow whole winter wind and violent cold Sad letter that I write wasted days and silent nights Future promise filled with hope, now with nothing left to show like shadows on a silver screen 'the great escape' and Steve McQueen I fell into a dream, startled woke up with a scream lift my head to look around found the path to where I'm bound (and) As time goes on and on the tale is told the race has run the lesson's learned to find the battle nearly won Calm the voice that rules the night dragging darkness to the light stalled plans life put on hold brightest dreams turned rust from gold a Bitter Pill to swallow whole winter wind and violent cold It's a new song that I write (I wish you) peaceful days and silent nights

BLUES TOWN Words and music by Arno Tietje Blues town, what I call you is blues town Sad town seems I'm always wearing a frown when I'm walkin' around Blues town beat me up and put me down Lonely town sun at my back and eyes to the ground but it's where I'm bound I remember how it used to be with my girl walkin' next to me I always thought she'd be my destiny you see I remember how it was before when the future seemed an open door Frozen in time forevermore for me Blues town was a tapestry of sight and sound Home town all your memories tie me down, some lost never to be found Blues town, everybody's got a blues town Break the bonds of the chains that hold you down to a dead dream gagged and bound _______________________________________________________ BLUES SHACK -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SITTING AROUND ON A SUNDAY MORNING READING THE PAPER WITH MY MORNING COFFEE WHAT COULD BE BETTER THAN TO SPEND THIS MORNING WITH YOU THE SUN IS SHINING THROUGH THE OPEN WINDOW THE CAT IS ASLEEP AND THE DOG'S IN THE YARD WHAT COULD BE BETTER THAN TO SPEND SOME TIME WITH YOU MAYBE LATER WE COULD GO FOR A RIDE IN THE PARK MAYBE WE'LL DO SOMETHING DARING AND STAY OUT AFTER DARK BUT NOW WE'RE SITTING AROUND ON A SUNDAY MORNING READING THE PAPER WITH OUR MORNING COFFEE WHAT COULD BE BETTER THAN TO SPEND THESE HOURS WITH YOU

Elusive By joel pirard It’s nothing I can remedy I’m not the one to blame I try to write a melody I try to sing your name But words escape my memory As tears flow from inside Remembering our lonely roads Yet still we had a life Six years have passed since you’ve been gone I’ve tried to make it go I’ve lived and died a thousand times Still wish that you could know That what I do is all for you As if you were still here That what I seek is still for us Somehow it seems so clear There’s nothing for it that I know You’ve gone on to a place That time and distance makes it so I cannot join the race So you are just a memory Still buzzing in my mind Elusive like a melody This gem for me to find
