Nearing the Finish Line
As the might-have-beens get smaller
And the what-the-hecks get taller
Life gets sweeter.
What a beater,
Death looms, but ya wanna stall'er...

Nearing the End
When I’m reading a novel
And nearing the end,
(Especially one that
I would recommend),

I want to speed up
So I finally know
Where the author was leading
Through ebb and through flow.

On the other hand, I’d like
To slow it all down,
‘Cause when I reach the end,
I’ll be wearing a frown

Since...

NEARING HOME

On this final day of two thousand eleven
What thoughts are on your mind
Are there any thoughts of heaven
And the joy you will find

Another year has come and gone
What difference did it make
It means that you are nearing home
What pathway did you take

Did you take...

I'M Nearing a Store
I'm nearing a store.
Has it something for me?
No; I'm nearing the next.
Hoping there's something to see.

I'm nearing a store.
For something that's new.
Fearing the worst.
Hoping for few.

I'm nearing a store
for something I need.
Only to eat.
Hoping to feed.

I'm nearing a store.
Have I been here before?
Bored again and...

Nearing the End Times
COVID-19?
What have you not heard about it?
It’s all over the place
In my face
In your face
In our faces
Only to instill fear
The fear of losing
The fear of dying
Panicking
Rushing
Fidgeting
Pacing
Unsettling

But, we have to be still
And everything became still
It seemed the air became fresher
It seemed the land was not stressed
It...

Nearing the End
Nearing the end,
and I'm all butterflies inside,
all the sensations that i send,
those feelings that inside i hide.
i have now reached a point,
where I'm okay to return,
unlike the yesterdays,
when I wanted to turn back time.
this person that i have become,
through this journey that's evolved me,
all the...

Nearing My End - You Owe Me
Pre-chorus #2: You turned out to be so mean…you were so heartless… (you

Nearing My End - I Thought Your Grass Was Green
Give me an excuse or a reason
To overcome these waves of emotions
Friends come and go like season to season
Dealing with vile clashing commotions

I thought your grass was green…I’m hopeless…
I thought the grass on the other side was greener than ours…
I thought your grass was green…I’m...

Nearing You
I feel so lost in this dream
You're were everything to me
My world my life my love
Come closer I'll come undone 
I hear your voice but it's fading 
Words are lost for all this blaming
I love you, I do for now let go
Hard for you, hard...

Another Session Now Nearing
Another Session Nearing

Something happened so endearing
So then we had another hearing
Much discussion had gone on
To conclusion was never drawn
Senate's next session is now nearing.

Nearing the Chalice With Malice
Time for Holy Communion and chalice
Not one for Methuselah-old malice;
You ought to have dumped it at church entrance
To sought redemption give the fullest chance;
Holy Communion with spiritual police 
Watches the terribly upset Alice,
Who is right now doing an asked Lord’s Dance
With a rock of a...

Nearing My End - You'Re Left Without a Clue
Friends come and go like season to season…(whatever…sure…)
Dealing with vile clashing commotions for no reason (whatsoever…sir…)
Is there a cure to this heartbreak?
My heart skipped a beat…time spent with you isn’t a treat!!
Race me to see who wins for your sake!
You make me feel kind of...
