I'm just a singer with some words
I rearrange the ones I heard
Town to town with my guitar
Nightclubs, honky tonks and bars
Love and longing, greed and pride
Dreams and jealousy collide
Sing it happy, sing it blue
Tell a tale and make it true
Let's sing a love song to the world
Full of happy boys and girls
Can't stop the misery with a song
But it sure beats dropping bombs
by Richard W. Bray
When truth melts your delusions
Like a pair of wax wings
Tumbling through your head
Go a thousand random things
Daily fabrications
Avoiding with a sigh
Things that you might notice
When you walk instead of fly
Peering down from clouds
Such a curious location
What one mistakes for clarity
Could be dissociation
by Richard W. Bray
You learned to hit a curveball
From another kid's dad
My tale is endless woe
A monument of sad
You can cuss me, you can curse me
You can put me in my place
You can slam the front door
In my stupid f---ing face
Every volume on the shelf is a song about myself
My whole universe is me and my shameless rhapsody
I thought freedom was heroic
It was just a cloak of lies
Only fools are gonna mourn
When the hallucination dies
I got no right to be proud
Of the man that you became
My only solace in life
Is that you bear my name
Every volume on the shelf is a song about myself
My whole universe is me and my shameless rhapsody
by Richard W. Bray
A lifetime of enchantment
Is all I ask of you
Dreaming of impossible
Because it's what you do
Tether me to heaven like the stars across the sky
Feather me with comfort and your lover's lullaby
Free me from a thousand woes
My flesh cannot endure
Shelter me with sunshine
That flows from you so pure
Tether me to heaven like the stars across the sky
Feather me with comfort and your lover's lullaby
You can be my proof rock
Solid as a stone
Even when we're miles apart
I'll never be alone
Tether me to heaven like the stars across the sky
Feather me with comfort and your lover's lullaby
