from “Little Rose”

Dear my sweetest little rose,

Time is wearing thin and I know, everything must go

and I’d be wrong to make you stay

but the song we sung,

was forever young and we always have yesterday

incomplete

You’ll make a man spend his whole life looking back;

How quickly we forget who we are

You’ll tell your friends he's not the one and one by one

tear him apart

Oh tread lightly..

With your head held high, you never walk alone in this town,

but you remember now and again.

This man can't stand the thought of you not around

with less of you theres so much less of him

- J. Smith

Seasons of Faith (Part 1)

Seasons of faith

under mountains of dirt.

Dont hang around bars, 

they’re the scum of the earth.

They’ll take from a heart all that its worth.

The better the man, the bigger the church.

Crazy

Has the world gone crazy?

I know nothing at all

The dead is dancing with the dead, there running down the halls

My brother, you always forget just how far we can fall

Has the world gone crazy? 

I know nothing at all

Growing Young

This San Francisco wind proves no path to make amends

I keep my nose clean..

..and I keep moving.

Through all this push and shove I can't learn to lie for love

Its up to fate..

..and I hope it comes back my way.

Brush Your Teeth

If truth were a tooth

all mine would be loose

brown and decaying

all the way to the root

hoping and praying

for the days of my youth

to come back and grant me

a tooth I can use.
