Skid Road
where dreams go to die
I still hear your laughter, soft as the breeze
It whispers through the trees, brings me to my knees
The way we used to dance, under starlit skies
Now the echoes of your voice are where my heart lies
I thought of you yesterday
I thought of you today
I’ll think of you tomorrow
The memories never fade
I see your shadow in the morning light
It lingers in the silence of the quiet night
Though time moves forward, leaving us behind
In every passing moment, you’re still on my mind
I thought of you yesterday
I thought of you today
I’ll think of you tomorrow
The memories never fade
And I hold on to every piece of you
The moments we shared, the things we knew
They live on forever, deep in my soul
Your memory’s a fire, it keeps me whole
I thought of you yesterday
I thought of you today
I’ll think of you tomorrow
The memories never fade
They wanted Yes or No
as the only answers
but what if it’s Yes and No
or neither with no firm answer.
So many things aren’t simply black or white,
wrong or right.
Left or right
day or night
Yes or No
Yes and No
Yes or No
Yes and No
Where are the shades of grey and the central ground
Why expect a simple answer to a complex question
Why is the complex answer never found
What if it’s both, what if it’s none
Yes or No
Yes and No
Yes or No
Yes and No
or neither
Walking, not running,
Through the tapestry of twilight hues,
Where shadows dance on the edge of day,
And the world breathes in a quiet sigh.
No hurried pace, no frantic steps,
Just the rhythm of a heart at ease,
In sync with the whispers of the wind,
A gentle cadence, a slow release.
The path unfolds beneath my feet,
A mosaic of earth and fallen leaves,
Each step a story etched in the soil,
Tales of journeys, both near and far.
The sun, a fading ember in the sky,
Paints the horizon in strokes of amber and gold,
A masterpiece of the closing day,
A palette of dreams, untold.
I tread upon the canvas of nature,
Feeling the earth beneath my soles,
Connected to the pulse of the land,
In this moment, where time strolls.
Not a race against the hands of the clock,
But a communion with the silence,
Where the rustle of leaves and the song of birds,
Compose a symphony of tranquil compliance.
A mindful saunter through the sacred,
A meditation in the art of being,
In the slowing down, I find the essence,
Of a journey that transcends mere seeing.
So, I walk, not run,
Along the path of quiet contemplation,
Embracing the serenity of each step,
In the hush of the world’s meditation.
(Verse 1)
Walking, not running,
In the twilight’s gentle glow,
Where shadows waltz on the horizon,
And the world breathes soft and slow.
No hurried pace, no frantic steps,
Just the rhythm of a heart at ease,
In tune with the whispers of the breeze,
A melody of tranquility, a sweet release.
(Chorus)
I tread upon the canvas of nature,
Feeling the earth beneath my soles,
Connected to the pulse of the land,
In this moment, where time strolls.
(Verse 2)
The sun, a fading ember in the sky,
Paints the evening in hues untold,
A masterpiece of the closing day,
A palette of dreams, a story to unfold.
Each step, a tale etched in the soil,
A journey written in the falling leaves,
I walk the path of quiet reverie,
Where the heart finds solace, believes.
(Chorus)
I tread upon the canvas of nature,
Feeling the earth beneath my soles,
Connected to the pulse of the land,
In this moment, where time strolls.
(Bridge)
Not a race against the hands of the clock,
But a communion with the silence,
Where the rustle of leaves and the song of birds,
Compose a symphony of tranquil compliance.
(Verse 3)
A mindful saunter through the sacred,
A meditation in the art of being,
In the slowing down, I find the essence,
Of a journey that transcends mere seeing.
(Chorus)
I tread upon the canvas of nature,
Feeling the earth beneath my soles,
Connected to the pulse of the land,
In this moment, where time strolls.
(Outro)
So, I walk, not run,
Along the path of quiet contemplation,
Embracing the serenity of each step,
In the hush of the world’s meditation.
Walking, not running, through the quiet streets,
Where echoes of footsteps blend with the heartbeat.
Underneath the city lights, a nocturnal ballet,
In the moonlit shadows, I find my own way.
No rush, no race against the ticking hands,
Just a stroll through a world where time expands.
Street lamps flicker, casting a gentle glow,
As I weave through the city, letting thoughts flow.
The pavement beneath, a textured story unfolds,
Each crack and cobblestone, tales of lives it holds.
I’m a wanderer in the urban twilight,
A poet in the symphony of the city’s night.
Neon signs whisper secrets in electric hues,
As I navigate the city’s labyrinth, wearing midnight shoes.
A steady rhythm of footsteps on the pavement,
In the stillness of the night, a silent engagement.
Walking, not running, through the city’s embrace,
Discovering beauty in each forgotten space.
A slow dance with the urban serenade,
In the quietude, my worries begin to fade.
Gentle winds carry fragments of distant sounds,
As I stroll through the quiet streets, unbound.
Reflections in windows, a transient mirage,
In this nocturnal reverie, I’m the sole voyage.
The city sleeps, but my steps are wide awake,
In the hushed alleys, dreams and reality intertwine.
Walking, not running, through the city’s heart,
A nocturnal explorer, making art from the sublime.
Walking, not running,
Beneath the silvered veil of night,
Where the moon whispers secrets,
And stars paint the canvas of quiet delight.
No hurried strides, no racing beats,
Just the cadence of a thoughtful gait,
In step with the nocturnal symphony,
A melody that transcends the hour late.
The world, a silent observer,
As shadows play on the moonlit ground,
A ballet of contrasts, light and dark,
In the stillness, a tranquility profound.
Step by step, the journey unfolds,
A pilgrimage under the celestial dome,
Each footfall a note in the cosmic score,
A serenade to the universe, a quiet poem.
Through realms where time takes a pause,
And the night sky cradles the wandering soul,
I walk, not run, in the hallowed quiet,
A voyage where introspection takes control.
No destination set in stone,
Just the path of quiet exploration,
As the night embraces with open arms,
A sanctuary found in the art of contemplation.
Walking, not running,
In the hush of midnight’s embrace,
Where the world sleeps, and dreams unfurl,
I find solace in the unhurried pace.
The morning light creeps in
As I lie here in my bed
My thoughts drift back to you
And all the things we said
Oh my love where have you gone
I’m lost without you can’t carry on
I long to hear your voice again
To feel your touch to ease this pain
The days are long the nights are cold
My heart is heavy my soul is old
I wander through the streets alone
Wishing you were here to guide me home
Oh my love where have you gone
I’m lost without you can’t carry on
I long to hear your voice again
To feel your touch to ease this pain
I know that I’ve made mistakes
And I’ve caused you so much pain
But if you could find it in your heart
To come back to me we could start again
Oh my love where have you gone
I’m lost without you can’t carry on
I long to hear your voice again
To feel your touch to ease this pain
So I’ll wait for you my love
And hope that you’ll return
Until then I’ll sing this song
And let my heart yearn
Verse 1
I’m sitting here with my guitar
Strumming chords in the dark

To set my soul free

And all I wanna do is find a way
To set my soul free

So I pour my heart out through these strings
Hoping that someone out there feels the same
And maybe we can find a way
To make it through another day
Chorus
Cause I can feel the weight of the world
Pressing down on me
And all I wanna do is find a way
To set my soul free

I’ll keep playing this guitar
Until I find the peace I seek
And maybe one day I’ll look back
And see how far I’ve come from where I used to be
