Dispatches From The Far Side of My Mind

Dispatches From The Far Side of My Mind

RISIN’ AND FALLIN’ I've been risin’ I've been fallin’ And I got to say It's been a long time Since I heard you callin’ I've been dreamin’ About a love I thought was true Risin’ and fallin’ Every time I look at you I've been risin I've been tumblin’ And I tell you that there's Been a few times I thought I was crumblin’ It's been a long night And my heart doesn't have a clue Risin’ and fallin’ Every time I look at you (CHORUS) You walk into the room In that blue satin dress I have admit to myself It causes me great distress But I'm a fool And you are never what you seem Risin’ and a fallin’, Like a bright star in my dreams I've been risin I've been fallin’ And I guess we just fell out of love Without any stallin’ But I still dream about A love I prayed would stay true Risin’ and fallin’ Every time I look at you... RUNNIN’ TO ME Somewhere in the middle Of an empty dream You feel your heart Come apart at the seams Just before the tears And after the screams That's when you come runnin’ to me You fell into the shadow Of his clever lies You never saw through His thin disguise Now the fire has turned to ice In his heart and your eyes And you come runnin’ to me (CHORUS) You come runnin’... You come runnin’ Tryin’ in vain to rise above all the pain You come runnin’ to me Here you are again Standin’ at my door You wash over me Like a wave hits the shore And I'll get burned again Like I been burned before When you come runnin’ to me Oh the loneliness In your eyes is for real Emptiness and pain Are all you can feel As you beg for the love You know I can't conceal When you come runnin’ to me You come runnin’... You come runnin’ Broken like a child and it drives me wild When you come runnin’ to me I'll gather you in And I'll make it alright We'll share a little passion On a cold dark night But I know you'll gone In the dawn's early light When you come runnin’ to me You come runnin’... You come runnin’ It sure ain't the first time and it won't be the last That you come runnin’ to me 80 MUCH TO DO So much to do...so little time So many mountains I've yet to climb So many ups...so many downs So many people ...so little common ground So many words pass through my pen So much starting all over again In a world where nothing ever seems real It's hard to touch what you truly feel So many children See how they grow So much to tell them Before they know How to believe in a World gone wrong How to sing out When they feel their own song How to hold onto love When all the love seems dead and gone So many people I've yet to know So many heartaches yet to lay me low So much confusion to suffer through So many broken dreams before one comes true So much to do in a single life Too little harmony and too much strife All we can do is fight the good fight All we can do is hold onto each other tonight So many lovers How they come and go You think you're close to them But do you ever know Just what secrets They have to hide Just how much love They have been denied Just what they might Really be feeling inside (CHORUS) So much to do...so little time So many mountains I've yet to climb So much to do...so much to say I've got the fever and it won't go away NOBODY KNOWS Nobody knows What you're feeling Inside Nobody knows Those emotions you hide Nobody knows How long it might take Til your fragile heart Begins to break Nobody knows The burden you bear Nobody knows And hardly anybody cares You worship some god That you've never known You take it on faith That we're not here alone (CHORUS) But nobody knows What the future will bring Nobody's guess Really means a thing So we roll the dice Trying to beat the bell that tolls But nobody knows Nobody knows, nobody knows Nobody knows How this all came to be Nobody knows What rules you and me If you're looking for answers Start looking inside Find your own compass Be your own guide ‘Cause nobody knows What the future will bring Nobody's guess Really means a thing Life is a game You learn how to play It’s all up to you It's always been that way TOUCH & GO All the bridges I have crossed Are burned All the lessons life has taught me I've unlearned The only answer that makes sense IsI don’t know Everybody's life is touch and go Everybody wants to be Your friend But is it just another means To their end? So many liquid questions Freely flow Everybody's life is touch and go (CHORUS) Everybody's getting out of town Al the right side up is upside down Everything is shifting to and fro Everybody's life is touch and go All I want is something To believe But everybody's got a trick or two Up their sleeve Makes me all confused about Friends and foes Everybody's life is touch and go Nobody hangs around For very long Nobody ever admits When they are wrong Everybody's swimming Against the flow Cause everybody's life is touch and go

One of the most important things I have learned about writing is that any type of writing you attempt, whether it turns out to be crap or good, is something that is going to help your writing overall.
I started writing lyrics as an experiment in a more disciplined form of writing verse poetry, which is where I started writing in the first place. I figured I could use some discipline.
As it turned out, I fell in love with the form and have produced close to 400 lyrics like those seen here.
But overall, the discipline of writing of poetry and lyrics is something that has definitely affected my approach to writing in other areas. One hand washes the other so to speak.
Here is a selection of fairly recent lyrics I have created. I think I'm finally starting to get the hang of it.

The truth is that with the taste of lyrics and poetry, one can simply attempt writing in other areas. Great, laudable work!

We're working on that Franci Eugenia Hoffman. I'm working my my pal Ivan Boudreau (he's in Vancouver). He's already got two or three of them done.

Great lyrics Jim. If I could pull myself away from beBee and pick up my guitar, there may be some music. For example, Rising and Fallen started a rift in my mind inspired by the Allman Brothers wailing out "I got one more... silver dollar..."
