Rain In My Pocket
Jg 2/11/02

Where were you this morning
when the rain began to fall
And I waited by the phone all night baby
waiting for your call

I’ve got rain in my pocket
A gray sky full of blues
My imagination’s running wild
Wondering what you’re doing

Where were you last night
where are you today
Are you gonna be home by tomorrow
I wish you’d call and say...

I’m coming home

Ch.

I’ve got rain in my pocket
Got my finger in the dam
Gotta belly full of whisky
and to much time on my hands
I can’t hold out much longer
I’m losing the will to try
I can’t hold back the water
These tears in my eyes


There’s a rumor around this town
That says we’re history
I don’t know where it started
to me it’s a mystery

I’ve got things I should be doing
Besides minding the telephone
Places to go, people to meet
But I know I’ll be staying home

This pocket full of rain
Is full to overflowing
There’s no rainbow in sight
I’ve got no way of knowing...

Where you are

I’ve got rain in my pocket
I’ve got thunder in my head
I’ve got rain in my pocket
I’ve got an empty bed
Rain in my pocket
Gray skies full of blues
Rain in my pocket
Where the hell are you

SWEET TENDER LOVE
July 7, 1994


SHE CAME ALONG WHEN HE WAS GIVING UP
ON THE WORLD
EVERYTHING HAD CHANGED AND BECOME SO STRANGE
UNTIL HE TOUCHED THIS GIRL
AND SHE GAVE HIM LOVE.......... SWEET TENDER LOVE.......
SHE OPENED HIS EYES TO THE DEEP BLUE SKIES
CHASED THE STORM CLOUDS FROM ABOVE
SHE GAVE HIM LOVE....... SWEET TENDER LOVE...........


THEY KNEW IN THEIR HEARTS
WHEN THEY TOUCHED
THIS WOULD LAST FOREVER
AN EMPTY VOID WAS FILLED AND HEART AND SOUL
THEY STOOD TOGETHER

AND THEY HAVE LOVE......... SWEET TENDER LOVE.........
TWO SEPARATE HALVES BECOME THE WHOLE
AND SHE FITS HIM LIKE A GLOVE
THEY HAVE THEIR LOVE........ SWEET TENDER LOVE.......

AND SHE SAID SHE'D HEARD THOSE VOICES ON THE WIND
CALLING TO HER LIKE THEY CALLED TO HIM
THEY KNEW THE DIRECTION THAT THEIR LIVES WOULD GO
AND THEIR SEARCH FOR TRUTH WOULDN'T BE ALONE

AND THEY HAVE THEIR LOVE
A DEEP TENDER LOVE
A WORLD OF WONDER AND TIME TO EXPLORE
THE THINGS THEY'RE DREAMING OF
THEY HAVE THEIR LOVE SWEET SWEET TENDER LOVE
THEY HAVE THEIR LOVE SWEET SWEET TENDER LOVE

Greensburg...

Headed to Greensburg KS today to help Brenda's (my longtime GF) daughter get her remaining salvageable possessions out of what remains of her house. Her daughter, boyfriend and her are all OK but like everyone else, lost their home. They were in a neighbors house when the tornado hit, in the basement, and the house was completely blown away. They are very lucky thank God. They found a hole through the debris to crawl out of right before the floor of the house collapsed into the basement. I'm sure you can imagine what the last few days have been like around here, but we are really just very thankful they are all OK. Their actual home lost it's roof and ceiling, but the walls are still standing so we should be able to save some of the stuff. A lot of it is ruined by rainwater, sheet rock and the insulation that fell down on it, but quite a bit of their stuff we can get out. Our little granddaughter was a real trooper through the whole thing and will be staying with us for a few weeks until they find a place to land. Keep them in your thoughts and prayers...

Virtual Rain
3-6-07

Candi dreams of a virtual rain
She’s at a loss, looking for her gain
She rolls back... reality
She can be who she, wants to be
Looking through a glass curtain
Fake a smile, when she’s hurting
She likes a world where nothing is real
Just turn away baby, if you start to feel

Virtual rain Virtual world
She’s becoming a, virtual girl
Look right through her, you won’t see the pain
Behind glass curtains, everyone’s the same...

It’s very easy, to hide in here
And not have to face, your only fear
His face is fading, it’s almost gone
His ring slips from the finger, he put it on
Look through the window baby, see the rain
Don’t let it get to you, drive you insane
That rain can’t hurt you, it’s not real
Lie to yourself but we know how you feel

She’s disappearing now, before our eyes
Sucked up into that box and pulled down the line
Virtual rain is falling from electronic skies
Or is only tears, falling from her eyes

Virtual rain is falling
Virtual rain has fell
Virtual rain is falling
And her tears fall as well

I've just finished moving after having bought a house. Moving is always a pain, especially when you have as much junk as I do. Internet was down for awhile but now I'm back and the move is (mostly) behind me. The new house and studio have a lot more room which works out well for me and the people I record. Anyway, I'm back. Did ya even know I was gone

COLD STEEL AND GRAY


I reached out my hand to stay her
To keep her from walking away
The look in her eyes was a look that said it all
A look that was cold steel and gray

I motioned to her come follow me
Might be something here worth looking for
But her eyes turned away I followed her gaze
I knew they rested on the door

Chances are slim growing slimmer by the minute
It’s one in a million she’ll stay
I don’t feel saddened it’s just not in my heart
You see I never really knew her anyway

The city is cold but it talks to me at night
It whispers of the lives it contains
I wander through her streets wander through her dreams
Sometimes I simply wander through her pain again and again, again and again

When she left I never saw her again
Out of eight million strangers she’s just one
Cold steel and gray in eyes everywhere
And empty eyes in the mirror.....

The city is cold but it talks to me at night
It whispers of the lives it contains
I wander through her streets wander through her dreams
Sometimes I simply wander through her pain again and again, again and again
Again and again, again and again

On the steppes of this city I’m the steppenwolf
And I’ll never see your smile again...

Can You Feel The Magic Of Christmas


Can you feel the magic of Christmas
Remember how it felt as a child
Can you fill your heart with peace and understanding
And put away your troubles awhile

Christmas is all about love
It’s better to give than receive
Giving is easy, when you know in your heart
You have, all that you need

Ch.

Our gift to you, is a song
And all the good will that you can take along
And one Christmas wish that we hope will come true
A magical and peaceful, merry Christmas for you

Can you feel the magic of Christmas
It’s not hard when it’s all around you
You can see it in the eyes of a child
Or hear it in a friend’s laughter too

And wherever you are this Christmas
We hope that it’s magic for you
And remember peace and love, friends and family
Are gifts from God and you know that is true

Our gift to you, is a song
And all the good will that you can take along
And one Christmas wish that we hope will come true
A magical and peaceful, merry Christmas for you
