mercy boy

I'm calling in my head
Cuz I can't get out my bed
I think I ate too many nuts
And now there's a pain in my guts
And I'm crying for mercy boy
Leave me alone
My life is not a toy
The doctor tells me no
(Why you no follow me)
And my crush says she can't go
(Please just come in with me)
I might as well skip my next class
(This is way too easy)
I don't care if it bites me in the ass
(Just sing on di)
Oh please have some mercy boy
Crack open my door
So someday my darling joy
Oh I think it's enough
Think it's enough
Think it's enough
I'm feeling ready
Feeling ready
Feeling ready now
Cuz now I've let it go
I've let it go
I've let it go
And thank God that now I know
From before you came around
You came around
And I'm not gonna let you down
And I will have mercy boy
My lovin will do
To send you that message

we went north

Morning bait
Evening catch
She paints her nails
She's a match
But I'm not
He picks you up
He tears you down
He tests your trust
He makes you frown
But I can't tell you where to be
Because you're somewhere I can't see
Far away from the beastie that I be
She has a mango voice
She's got apple eyes
She doesn't talk to boys
And she tells no lies
But I won't try to count you out
Cuz that's what life is all about
And I don't feel
At all like heaven or hell are real
So maybe you and I should strike a deal
September day
Watchu know
I heard you say
To the north we go
The sun was out
(To the north we go)
No clouds in sight
(To the north we go)
We saw the route
(To the north we go)
Into the light
(To the north we go)
I took a chance
To be alive
A great advance
A deeper dive

i will be your may

Daylily dreaming
Tenderly through my day
Wondering freely
When will you be, my may
And thy gentle caressing
The fabric of the heavens
To move of thy blessings
And rouse the elevens
Consuming happy contentment
Forever finding my way
Am I being lazy
Or am I just crowded and down
(lazy or crowded)
Are you calling me crazy
Or is my ego just going to town
But there's one thing for certain
(call me tell me what you see)
With this magical feeling
(everything you want to be)
There's a fairy 'yon the curtain
(only those abiding by a contract can be)
And a contract been sealing
You're married to happy contentment
In her beautiful bridal gown
Ravenous vulture
Scavenging through my mind
I hope that you're cultured
By all the little gems you find
Consuming happy contentment
And leaving the waste behind

funny girl

Where goes that funny girl today
Where indeed
Is she smiling
Not crying
Is she happy everyday
Can I give her anything
Anything at all
Anything at all
Do angels sing her to sleep
From her days of pain
Would they heal her
Resurrect her
She would always live again
Live again
Live again
I love that funny girl to death

homecoming
04:49

|
You know my name
It rings every bell
And you have your side
To the story that I tell
I ran far away
To an unfamiliar land
I only prayed to God that He
Would make me a better man
But I don't think I ever
Asked you to be there
And if I did it wasn't me
It was my fear
But you gave me everything
I needed and more
And I thought I'd never feel
A love quite like yours
(I'm coming home)
And I realized
I'd never seen myself before
(I'm coming home)
I'm following my heart
Lord I'm coming home to you
We went through hell
To get to where we are
And it would be so foolish
To let it all fall apart
It never dawned on me that
Life was just a game
And if I lose I only have
myself to blame
So why should I keep myself
From loving you for good
What is there stopping me
From living how I would
And why why why why
Do you lock yourself away
It don't matter what they say
Cuz Lord I'm coming home to you
Every time I fall asleep
(Lord I'm coming home to you)
Every time I see the sun
(Lord I'm coming home to you)
And they call me son of a piper
(Lord I'm coming home to you)
Steal that pig away I run
(Lord I'm coming home to you)
If I ever trip and fall down
(Lord I'm coming home to you)
If I have no place to hide
(Lord I'm coming home to you)
When the devil's at my door
(Lord I'm coming home to you)
And my love is safe inside
(Lord I'm coming home to you)
