Two Old Red Tractors, Both Are Broken Down

Two old red tractors, both are broken down
on a small dusty farm, outskirts of town.
Dawn comes early, no time to sleep in bed
rooster crows call out, work, work, work instead!

Dad rose early, I hear a tractor start
shows me...

The sun had vanished, it was black as black,
The air was crisper than ice.
And the wire on the fence whispered a steady humming tune
To hundreds of kangaroo mice.

We’d broken down, in the middle of Australia, 
We were alone, my partner and I.
At first it was...

A lifeless body laid face down
on the back alley wet sidewalk.
This time of night no ones around
especially now at three o’clock.
I’m here because my carbroke down
Otherwise I wouldn’t be found dead
in this place. I hail from uptown.
Here, downtown, murder is widespread
Someone is always getting killed:
Prostitutes,...

I've lived on the streets,
With no where to go,
I've eaten from trash cans,
Because I didn't have a home,

I've been depressed,
And tried over dosing,
But I see the purpose of my life,
Here on this earth,

I've been abused,
Mentally and physically,
My heads still high,
Trying to forgive and forget,

Been in...

I was never out to get your silver or your gold..
All I wanted with you, was "to have and to hold."
 
Love is not callous, but, tender, gentle and kind..
You didn't want to listen or heed the warning signs.
 
Our Love was only meant, between...

In my kitchen alone on the floor i cry
anti depressants not working
people pulling for my happiness
and yet i am sad because i lack the personality i desire to try
i feel like a victom
in a world where everyone is the fool
in my mind i remember a...

I bore it all with a smile
Not a flex of muscle
Betrayed my expression
Not a word said
Displayed my inner feelings
How insensitive you seemed
To me.

I bore it all with a straight face 
Not letting you know a thing
Maintaining my composure
As always
But inside me i crumbled
Crumbled like a...

BROKEN DOWN ANGELS

It disny seem that long ago
Toddling and having fun,
Crawling then walking along the floor 
And learning how tae run.

Potty trained and full eh life
They’d run you af yer feet,
A kiss on the cheek and I love you
Wid make ye want tae greet.

The greatest...

Old, Broken Down and Delapidated are words some men use to describe
women of a certain age, because they have matured and wondered away from the 
naive stage, they have reached a place where they are comfortable with 
themselves and don't need to have the flattery...

The apple of my eye is out of reach,
but the scent of his hair still lingers,
managing only sporadic gasps,
curly and thick,
running my fingers through and through,
just like it was yesterday.

Some nights wake me,
dead in my sleep.
Seeing you with her,
is hurtful,
yet I feel hopeless,
hopelessly in love.

Considering the church's present plight
the evils of sin have breached the walls
just as it was in Nehemiah's days
we need to learn from Jerusalem's fall

We must see the need of the hour
prayer needs to be our first priority
as Nehemiah mourned for many days
crying to God our...

My heart, My soul
All that was is now lost.
A broken down corpse,
Left here to rot.
Alone in the damp dark dirt,
Why have I paid this cost.
A withered out corpse,
Stuck here to rot.
Awaiting the day,
I hope to rise again.
As a broken down corpse,
Seeking my revenge....

Broken down into pieces,
Drowned by this love,
Straighten out my creases,
Fooled by words so unsatisfied,
Shared a love but every word you lied.

Oh how I was an empty shell,
Submerged in love,
Yet still put through hell.

A love once gained.
You threw away,
Everyday it rained,
In my heart it poured,
A love...

I can't believe I would have give it all up for you
What was I thinking

Walk off into the sunset and leave it all behind for you?
It must have been the drinking

Every time I see their faces I would have to wonder
Was it all worth it?

See...

Broken down in tiny pieces
love's not really much at all
just a snowflake in December
you remember watching fall.

Broken down in tiny pieces
it can make your teardrops flow
from the pain of losing someone
you never thought would go.

Broken down in tiny pieces
love can rip your world apart
leave you...
