Put the tip upon the table To the pretty waitress who kept your coffee cup filled Walk out into the cold night, wind tearing through the darkness Can't wrap my head around the past, stays buried within my soul Your face cuts through the night, nickel in my pocket and I know who to call The voice...

I’m holdin’ on Punching holes in the night sky Stars are shining light on me Well I am a stone Tossed onto shore Let the wind break my face Let me breath again Ships are setting sail Leaving us behind The blind leading the blind Losing touch With my mind It’s a gaping hole Love is raining in Set...

I've never seen the sun until it blinded my eyes Never heard the world scream until I heard my mother's cries So cold was the night that I finally knew what it meant to be alive The TV's on in the den, me beside my favorite bottle of Gin making sense out of nothing My eyes are red waiting for...

the morning sun on my front porch, burning holes in my eyes it's been a long time since i got some sleep in this place the ashtray is full and i don't how i'm keeping up the downers are pulling me down and all i see is black but your the heart of friday night when the work week is done i see you...

cold november, watching the shadows fall behind me bury my hands in my pocket, take one more trip down the line these streets are cold, going through me like a ghost my eyes are wiery and my mind has gone stale early morning i'm awake, i wish it was all just a dream but the night comes early...

My hometown in my rearview mirror The grey skies ain't getting any clearer If I knew where I was going, I'd stop to look back But all I got now is some George Jones and a bottle of Jack And through these drunken eyes I'll see the world Through the bottom of a bottle somewhere up the road This...

Thank you. That was basically an autobiographical tale and it was prom night so... :) Thanks again.

"I Got the Rain" I was standing in the doorway, minding my own Man walks up, shivering from the cold He says "Man ain't it cold out, why don't you go inside?" I say "It's cold out here but it's colder in there. "They all got their happiness but at least I got the rain" As the man walked away, I...

Lock the fence, in cage Birth of the futile in rage Through mashed teeth, a primal growl Yelled out the world below It surfaced, burned holes through skin Waiting for the night to begin Give me a second, I'll take the hour Through my eyes mankind will cower I'll raise my hand through burning...

midnight burning through my eyes maybe somethings gone i looked real hard and saw the rain maybe somethings wrong i made the trip, i've seen the light it's been so long the door is scratched and charred the windows of light closed and barred my memory is a gaping hole i've never been so lost...

Sun blisters on the back of my neck It burns like the bitter neglect That you dealt so easily... I'm looking at the sun Til my eyes go blind Waitin' for my sign Love strikes like lightning Whispers through the trees If you want to talk I've got nothing to say These words, they get in the way My...

Monday, 5 a.m. No sleep again It's time to rearrange Re-explain The lights are dimmed On what I can see in Nothing's there As I drove away I let the sad song play The world doesn't even look the same From my front porch News of today Forces me to look away Pretend it's gone Pretend I'm gone...

My first poem in a while... I'd appreciate any feedback... I'm an aspiring writer and I just want to know if I'm good enough: Life passes like a gray cloud Never knowing when to expect the rain Never to knowing if things will be the same But somehow... We never know how to change My head...

Great songwriter, love his music.
