Before I start I just want to say that I will always love you Baby..

Free to learn that you were meant for me,

Shall never flee from inside of me,

I deserve...

Step Back Into Yesterday
Whenever you feel low
There's a place that you can go
Full of laughter and good things
Take a journey it will bring
You back to the days of old
That will touch your very soul
With warm hearted memories
Taking you back you will see
Life is good if you just hop
Into...

in silence
the shire plods his path
in footsteps of the past

Note: On holiday recently,we took a trip by canal barge pulled this way.Very evocative for me, as on my mother's side,her forbears were canal people,and thats how they happened to arrive here in my hometown....

Let's not just stop
At our guns and ammunition
I bid you please to sign right here,
Sign this petition!
Let us dispose
Of our fire extinguishers too
Let's leave it the firemen,
They have work to do!
Let us improve the roads sobriety
And stop driving those risky cars!
Let us see how far...

Step Back
I'm certain a lot of people
     can relate to what I'm about to lay down
It's having that one cool relative
     you attach yourself to whenever they come around
Well let me tell you a thing or two

I am letting you go, so go you are free
Free to learn that you were meant for me,
The pain and misery of our history,
Shall never flee from inside of me,

I deserve better than this,
You know I do,
But all I've ever wanted 
Was what I deserve,

A Step Back
There's only so much you can give
I'm not going to waste my time on passive
Because i'm still here having to explain
Why all our recklesness was in vain

Felt like i was only here to help you sort it all out
And now i can't stand any of...

Lines crossed cannot be uncrossed
For this no eraser exists
You read my words and imagine yourself there
You there in her place
Yet her place is my place
We are inseperable
Where she ends I begin
When she cries 
tears fall from my eyes
When she smiles
my teeth are revealed
As she breathes

Scream
Look through me
Tell me what you see in me

Breathe

Everything you've never told me

I see you walk twords me
It makes me wanna run away
That's what I'm best at
When my feelings get all crazy

I pent it all up inside
I wanna...

Stop, Slow Down, Forward And Step Back
Life is short
Don't forget to stop often
Enjoy the scenery along the way. 

Don't let the rhythm of life trap you
Slow down occasionally
And enjoy a moment of peace.

May you have the courage
To move forward once
And the tolerance to step back....

As I Step Back In Time
as I step back in time 
and again you come into my mind 
When I was your wife 
and we lived in Koppel PA 
it was a wonderful life 

as I step back in time 
you love playing your country music 
all the time 
some...

Step Back Please
Step back please.
Your eyes burn holes in me.
My mind twisting and churning,
A yearning,
A spiraling turning
Captivates me:
A frozen sea
Of what was meant to be....

Rice Transplanting
Rice seedlings in hand, I transplant rice in the paddy field,
And as I lower my head I see the sky that water does yield.
For a good harvest, the roots must be kept pure and clean,
Moving forward is what stepping back does really mean.
