i’ve been sniffing all the flowers
i’ve been dancing on the dew
you’ve been giving the impression
there could be a me and u
dont wanna play no 20 questions
just wanna spend some time with u
already know enough about ya
from the things that u do
let’s go walking in the park
it’ll just be me and u
we can get to know each other
we can woopty doopty doo
we can talk about the weather
we can sing a little tune
we can listen to the starlight
in the magic of the moon

Big sky
Red truck
Trusty old hound
Big sky
Long stretch
Covering some ground
Big sky
Freedom
Miles of blooming dirt
Big sky
Heartache
The woman that I hurt
Big sky
Long days
What I gotta do
Big sky
Highways
Rolling back to you
by Richard W. Bray
Pick your diamond pick your pearl there is beauty in the world
—Macy Gray, et al.
You’ll never see a sunset
Hanging on the wall
You can’t buy any moonlight
At your local mall
You can find a billion
Emeralds and pearls
In the overwhelming joy
Of a bunch of boys and girls
I could dig up every gemstone
From Paris to the Nile
I’ll never know a treasure
Greater than your smile
by Richard W. Bray
the warmth of you
melts away the hurt
love like a river
washing out the dirt
the song of you
pulses through my mind
your tender melody
compassionate and kind
the joy of you
sparkles like a star
I wish I could absorb
everything you are
by Richard W. Bray
if you ever got a problem
or if you’re feeling down
you only gotta tell me
I’ll come riding into town
when walls are collapsing
and you can’t escape your trouble
I’ll be there in a minute
to protect you from the rubble
when life is an inferno
and things are looking dire
you’ll see me rushing in
to pull you from the fire
I’ll deliver you from danger
I’ll rescue you from strife
I’ll be your rope ladder
I’ll be your jaws of life
by Richard W. Bray
See that messed up
Couple over there?
She’s got a million tats
And he never cuts his hair
Can’t you just be happy
They have one another?
Can’t you be happy
They found love with each other?
What could those people
Ever see in each other?
She’s the wrong age
And he’s the wrong color
If you got a comment
Just keep it in your throat
It isn’t your life
You don’t get a vote
So wrong for each other
Just headed for trouble
It really makes me sad
When the wrong people couple
In this crazy old world
It ain’t easy to stay warm
Can’t you just be happy
They found shelter from the storm?
by Richard W. Bray
My guts are bleeding
My anatomy’s afire
The fog is receding
I’m a loser and a liar
Takes a toll on my health
When I pretend to be ok
Been lying to myself
Since I sent you away
Alone in my room
A wayward little boy
Living on the fumes
Of the love I destroyed
by Richard W. Bray
Never liked anyone
More than I like you
But keeping us together
Was more than I could do
Never lost anything
More lovable than you
I’m less than a man
For what I put you through
Paying the price
For being a dunce
True Love ain’t a thing
That happens more than once
by Richard W. Bray
I’m glad you let me love you
I hope you let me see
All the things you wanna do
And what you wanna be
I’ll get down on hands and knees
I’ll dig your heart a moat
I’ll cover all your tender parts
Wear me like a coat
Tell me what you want to be
I’ll show you what I mean
I’ll protect your eager heart
And defend your thirsty dreams
Allow me to acknowledge
Everything I get from you
And trust me with the part of you
That’s delicate and true
by Richard W. Bray
After all the things I done
I can never hurt enough
It ain’t my conscience talking
It’s the ghost of our love
I wake up in evening
Feel you breathing on my skin
Just the ghost of our love
It’s teasing me again
The ghost of our love
Is laughing in my face
Every time I try and find
Somebody to replace it
The ghost of our love
Reminds me all the time
I’m just another scoundrel
Who cannot face my crime
by Richard W. Bray
