GROWING UP
He knocks
On the
Blue door
To her house
He waits
For her
To come to her tinted window
He’s nervous and happy
Their feet share the Earth
In All The Butterfly Beauty Of Growing Up
Even in her
Calico dress
She looks like a princess
A cartwheel, in the summer
Fruitcake for the winter
The blaze of new love is
A Balm for his eyes
In All The Butterfly Beauty Of Growing Up
Fireflies in the evening
Trailing light in the air
The music, the memories,
That hold him there,
There’s never two anything
They’re still on the road
In his book of everything
They’re still all aglow
His heart
Is hers
Forever
And always
All fragile, emotions
All secret occasions
All autumns
All springtime’s
Carry them high
In All The Butterfly Beauty Of Growing Up
Ooh oooh oooh ooh
In All The Butterfly Beauty Of Growing Up

HIGH DREAMS
Forever drawn back to the different places I have lived
Forever sifting through the words that whispered in their midst
Forever thumbing through forgotten faces now I know
Tenderly
Everything
My love
Down this road I’m going down again
Me and this sad motel where life’s always been The trucks and cars they’re always moving past Night cries where I was born to laugh
My heart is a junction
Where angels stop for a while
My strange game is to fumble
That opens the door
While I’m searching for more
Where I know you are
I walk through
All the crowds of high dreamers that come
One More Night
And one more day in the sun
(killer piano solo)
My heart is a junction
Where angels stop for a while
My strange game is to fumble
That Opens the door
While I’m searching for more
Cause I know you are
Down this road
with more crazy tomorrows to come
Waiting on everything
Another day under the sun
High dreams,
Waiting on everything
Another day under the sun

SEQUINS ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON
Keep some sparkle hangin’ on your dresser
A ribbon for your hair or just because
I’m a fan of fairytales & all things make believe
And what I feel ain’t breakin’ any laws, because
You bake your favorite cookies in the winter
And teach yourself to sing a Porter tune
Love this life your livin’
& wear your Sequins on a Sunday afternoon
If it’s make believe
Then grab a cloud and start to dream, it’s easier cause
Chocolate covered kisses do taste better
But only when you’re reaching for the moon
Love this life your livin'
And wear your Sequins on a Sunday afternoon
If it’s make believe
Then grab a cloud and start to dream it’s easier cause
Chocolate covered kisses do taste better
But only when your reaching for the moon
Love this life your livin'
And don’t grow old to soon
wear your Sequins, on a Sunday…. Afternoon

Be With Me

BE WITH ME
I took a walk today
You had nothing to say
So we just went along
Nothing wrong, but nothing right
Why does it seem so hard
Yet then when we're apart
You're always calling me,
just to see, wasting time
Is it that hard just to love one girl, or
easier just to be free
When will someone wanna be with me
Am I holding my breath far too easily
There are blue skies and a sunset, that I can see
But I stand here alone
This ole' heart has no home
So I go it alone and be free
Tell me when will someone
wanna be with me
Now that I'm on my own
Never felt so alone
People are tellin' me, just let it be,
take you're time.
I've waited long enough
You're not ready for love
So if you need a friend,
just take my hand, walk with me
Is it a game, is it children at play
Well then I’ll wait, by the tree
When will someone wanna be with me
Am I holding my breath far too easily
There are blue skies and that sunset,
that I can see
But I stand here alone
This ole' heart it has no home
So I go it alone to be free
Tell me when will someone
wanna be……….. with me

THE MAN WHO BROKE THE WORLD
Once in a while there seems to be
Somebody bolder than you and me
And they move with an imposters ease
As we stand back they pretend to please
Oh oh oh
The man who broke the world
Anyone out there could see
He’s the man who broke the world
Inside a bubble of disguise
Somebody older had him rule twice
No-one said a word just watched it crack
Now the curtain’s closed and we fade to black
Oh oh oh
The man who broke the world
If we could have only seen
The man who broke the world
Tell-me all will be o/k
Even, with what, you’ve had on display
Mishaps…… they-happen every day
Out in the forest with the trees
Somebody knows what’s gonna be
and he’s movin through another time
Only God knows whats really in that mind
Oh oh oh
He’s the man who broke the world
No one ever would believe
the man who broke the world
Oh oh oh
The man who broke the world
Anyone out here could see
He’s the man ………..
He’s the man………… who broke the world

CONFESSIONS OF A WALLFLOWER
Sittin’ alone in the moonlight
Hopin’ I don’t turn my back on a dream
Watchin’ the skies darkness up above
Don’t wanna sleep but I don’t wanna wake up
Spinnin’ on luck and some hard years
Try as I might
I know it may never be
But there’s a chance
The dream hasn’t gone
Do what I do be what I be
I’m singing my song
Part of me that wants it all to happen
Yet gracefully I’d give it all away
Kissin’ the wind in my own world
Tellin’ myself and everyone else it’s gonna be great
Life will pass you by,
you’ll wake one day and wonder why
Youchose to sit it out
when what you should have done is fly
Sittin’ alone in the moonlight
Hopin’ I don’t don’t turn my back on a dream
Kissin’ the wind
In my own world
Tellin’ myself and everyone else
It’s gonna be great
Tellin' myself and everyone else
It's gonna be great

THE LULLABY HAS ENDED
(Dannielle De Andrea)
Now you’re gone and so have I
Singing different parts to the lullaby
Where should we go now from here
Cause to me it’s becoming clear
That it’s over it’s gone for good
Are you happy now are you understood
How could we get it so wrong
Tell me where do I belong
You see I thought it was with u
but now I’m not sure
So many heart aches I gave u
and you gave me yours
Oh please help me to grieve us
but leave us alone
Good bye my friend our lullaby has ended
Now I know how it sounds
Between the 2 of us
We’d a common ground
Our love it showed us the light
2 break free & do what is right
Am I willin’ to let you go
Find the truth again did you always know
How could u just walk away
promising u always stay
You see I thought it was with you
But now that I know
So many heart aches u gave me
We put on that show
Oh please help me
to grieve us but leave us alone
No lies my fred
I guess our lullaby has ended
How are you doing cause I’m not that great
What if the choices we’ve made’s a mistake
You were the only one and now it’s too late
Goodbye my friend
I guess the lullaby has ended

COUNTIN’ MY BLESSINGS
Ya pick a me up when I’m down
Keepin’ my feet on the ground
You always know how I feel
Helpin’ me to keep it real

Without all the love you’re givin’ to me
One smile brightens my day

A melody to go with my rhyme

Sometimes it’s roses

CHAPEL ROAD
(Dannielle De Andrea, David Hurst Batteau)
In the night
The moon-lit splendor
On her skin
Skin as white as snow
In her eyes In her eyes
He remembers
At the end of Chapel Road
In a town
That’s cracked and shattered
Found his love
More than hope
In her arms In her arms
Nothing mattered
At the end of Chapel Road
Yellow Bird
Sing for him, sing for him
For his heart
His heart is on the wind
And I fear And I fear
That Dosey Doe
At the end of Chapel Road

You

YOU
Always an awkward battle
But something you could handle
Where would you go if you could choose
And once a love for someone
Who tried to pull you undone
Cause all you knew was how to lose
Everyday………. running from the truth
Lookin’ away…..no one but you
but you oo oo oo
Time to push through
Go out into the sunlight
Connect again it’s alright
There’s nothing worse than missing out
And let me say
Don’t do up what’s been undone
Use your imagination
And live with love inside of your heart
Everyday………. standing in the truth
No other way………… to be you
Yeah you oh oh oh dust off the blue
You know it’s been all along
but something in your song
Took you to where you don’t belong
Every day standing in your truth
No other way to be you
mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm

THE CALL
(Larry Goldings, Dannielle De Andrea, David Hurst Batteau)
I wonder where we’re going
Never stop to say hello then
We keep on missing the call
That’s what we know after all
Looking around the city
Living on a cloud of pity
We turn away from the call
That’s what we know after all
I wanna go to places
Where everyone’s more gracious
Taking their time to relax and be kind
Oh what a life we’d have
What if your world just closed down
No one came visit your town
Would you believe in the call
I think you would after all
We need is love and love is all
