Satisfied

there are times, when my heart misses a beat
and hits a minor key, when I think of all those
yesterdays, dusty and grey and I'll be lost in my
sadness

of what might have been and just not turned out
to be, 'cause something a past will never do, is
change its taken course when it has been sung
out of tune

and I have so many a time and my rope was getting
shorter ev'rytime, but that's life, getting the wrong end
of the stick was getting to be a habbit to me, someone
told me I had to quit and just let it be

and I did, I managed to get back on track, getting more
and more satisfied, with what I had, more and more
responsible for what I did and getting into old age
gave me a break

I was satisfied, not yet old still alive inside, my thoughts
will always get the better of me, I'm just hoping time will
give me something more and not give up on me too soon
even now I'll always keep coming back, still satisfied
with what I have

Love's complete

love's cruel, love's tender,
love's a wonder, love can change
in a flash of anger

most of all it's sweet, has you on a lead
somethin' you can't beat when love's
complete

a shot of love nourishin' your brain
can have a cold touch, soaked in poison
straight to your heart

it'll tear it apart that cold cold touch
love can stare an' have enough, it'll
choose another victim to stay

will set it on fire by wild desire by
wild rage it's caged an' won't leave
this is love complete

stays uncounted days an' nights
you've discovered life, hang on
where love's wild

Lost in my words

a strange sensation ran through me
I was at the station I was knocked
out, he had me beat

lost in my words I tried to explain
wasn't it all a mistake, tried to plead
he wouldn't give in didn't he love me

we had somethin' goin' goin' down
well, but he was leavin' goin' out
of town

throwin' my life to pieces leavin'
me hell, lost in my words I felt the
hurt comin' on strong

my screams rang out almost blew
my mind for all the lies that wasted
my life

caught my breath he finally went
to that prety girl an' all to the one
he loved best

leavin' me here sheddin' my tears
my love was dyin' the ashes were
blown away

words came back to me again
