You may know my name but that's all Don't give you the right to call And waste my precious time Cold Callin' Blues Don't care what it is you've got to sell Who you are or that you know me well Satisfied with what I got Cold Callin' Blues

Don't make it easy for me to find the door Cause I ain't had enough but I just can't take no more Don't make it easy for me to turn away I ain't tongue tied its just hard for me to say I'm sorry for the foolish things we've done I'm sorry for the stupid things we've said I'm sorry for it all Don't make it easy for me to wanna walk Can't stay in one room for long enough to talk Don't make it easy for me to change my mind My heart says I should stay but my head ain't that way inclined I'm sorry for the foolish things we've done I'm sorry for the stupid things we've said I'm sorry for it all I'm sorry for the foolish things we've done I'm sorry for the stupid things we've said I'm sorry for it all

Mess 03:23
I know you know I can't always be there for you And don't let anybody let you believe I don't care for you Or that I love you any less It's just my life's a mess I'm away for days, weeks at a time Must be hard for you I know to keep me in mind And when I call and listen to you guess I know my life's a mess Won't be like this forever, I've said that before I made a thousand promises but instead I took more Can't keep my word, yes I confess It's just my life's a mess I'm a figure of indifference, someone to ignore But you your still the last one who will run to the door Smile and make me feel that I've been blessed

Was a time when we would laugh until the tears filled our eyes Trick or treat everyday was sweet 'neath clear blue sunny skies Then she closed me down and started standing ground Was a time when we could tell each other what was on our minds Everything used to flow so easy words were never hard to find Then she closed me down and started standing ground A thousand tears we never cried show there's nothing left Look at you and me now whoever would've guessed Was a time it used to matter but now those days are far behind No more foolish games of spite and messin' with the mind Yeah, I closed her down and started standing ground A thousand tears we never cried show there's nothing left Look at you and me now whoever would've guessed Was a time when we would laugh until the tears filled our eyes Trick or treat everyday was sweet 'neath clear blue sunny skies And then I closed her down and started standing ground And then I closed her down and started standing ground And then I closed her down and started standing ground And then I closed her down

Doesn't make a difference or change what's gone before Never thought it would but at least I know now for sure No regrets, no blame, no bitterness No guilt, no love, no hate, no mess Just let it go Used to want to make it better before we let it slip too far Used to matter so much but I guess that's just the way things are No regrets, no blame, no bitterness No guilt, no love, no hate, no mess Just let it go But the feelings still come and go But the feelings still come and go But the feelings still come and go But the feelings still come and go No regrets, no blame, no bitterness No guilt, no love, no hate, no mess Just let it go

Meloncholy 01:36
How in the hell did we get here today Sittin' in silence, faces turned away All talked out and nothin' achieved All talked out but no one was believed And those meloncholy blues still come around here once in a while And while they gave this me song I still try to hide them with a smile Let's try not to lose together Let's try to keep it going
7.
Starin' up at the same moon A thousand miles apart Two times zones lay between us And one healing heart One healing heart protects the company you keep One healing heart can deprive us of our sleep One healing heart Sleepless under the stars With thoughts that won't rest Scenarios going over and over An uninvited guest One healing heart protects the company you keep One healing heart can deprive us of our sleep One healing heart And when they've struggled through grey days Feelin' tattered and torn The widow and the songsmith Chase demons till dawn One healing heart protects the company you keep One healing heart can deprive us of our sleep One healing heart
8.
Yes, there's one thing you can do for me while I'm away You can raise a smile and try to think about me everyday No, there's nothing that I need with me when I'm gone Just be right here for me so I know where I belong I'll miss you, I'll miss you, I'll miss you Yes, there's one thing you can do for me while I'm away You can raise a smile and try to think about me everyday I'll miss you, I'll miss you, I'll miss you

Race 02:40
Tell me what the hell am I to do I can't think of anything but you And all those thoughts inside your head That should've stayed left unsaid And I can't believe that I never knew And I can't believe that I never knew No, I can't believe that I never knew Tell me the hell am I to say How can we let this go away Where does all that prejudice come from You should know where it all belongs And I can't believe that I never knew And I can't believe that I never knew No, I can't believe that I never knew And I can't believe that I never knew And I can't believe that I never knew No, I can't believe that I never knew

It's wonderful to be here Almost quite a thrill To while away the hours And find the time to kill To spend the time here with you To spend the time here with you The days get so congested Crammed with the mundane Oh it's so hard to see the purpose When there's too much to explain Just need some time here with you Just need some time here with you I don't look for recognition I don't need anyone's applause Time is all that I need And the world outside the door To spend the time here with you To spend the time here with you To spend the time here with you

about

Recorded in Prague in the early noughties and armed with a Korg PXR4 pocket-recorder, a cheap microphone, a mid-range Takamine guitar and a recently acquired handmade Amistar resonator guitar, directly from the factory, I set about putting it to use on a bunch of songs I was writing at the time. Having carried these songs for about twenty years I thought it time to tidy up the files and release them.
