Lyrics
Krafty
Krafty was born a wild child
Howlin’ at the moon
Drivin’ his momma crazy
From night till noon
Pink slip racin’
Tight skirt chasin’
Chalk line tracin’
Times a wastin’
He laughs like a madman
With a glint in his eye
His heart is on his sleeve
For you he would gladly die
Krafty embarked to join the devils
Doggedly pursued
Poundin the shores of the island
He found his blues
Mornings runnin’
Target gunnin’
Killer's cunnin’
Hears the drummin’
He laughs like a madman
With a glint in his eye
His heart is on his sleeve
For you he would gladly die
Krafty was home on leave
Painting the town
He met a girl
They had some laughs
Danced all night
He walked her home
Her father’s waiting
For his little girl
Krafty took his hand
He looked him in the eye
He said I'll never lie
And I will always
Bring her home
Her father shook his hand
He said I understand
Krafty knelt down and took that woman
All the way to church
Promised her he'd always love her
And put her first
He laughs like a madman
With a glint in his eye
His heart is on his sleeve
For you he would gladly die
The Moment
Lay your head next to mine
And we’ll drift away
Find your place among the stars
As night fades to day
We have danced in the moonlight
Shared a kiss in the pool
Falling for you down, down, down
I am just a fool.
Dreams never last
Some do come true - this ones of you, what can I do
This moment will pass
With it will you?
Dreams never last
I hope that we do
This moment will pass
So what can I do?
Stay with me, won’t you dear
I just can’t bear to leave
Please just let this feeling linger on
I can finally breathe
We have danced in the moonlight
Shared a kiss in the pool
Falling for you down, down, down
I am just a fool.
Dreams never last
Some do come true
This moment will pass
With it will you?
The moment is passing, what will you do?
Take her and hold her and tell her true
Fear now takes a hold
What if your too bold?
The time is now just make your move
To tell her what she means to you
Lean in close and stroke her hair
Open your heart, you’re right there
Don’t stop now you’re almost there
Dreams never last
Some do come true
This moment will pass
With it will you?
Tender
You’re the greatest love
I’ve ever known, dear
Or been shown dear
When you look into my eyes
I see a lifetime
And a lifeline
Something real to hold
Keep me warm when nights are cold
Until we both grow old, together
Together, forever, surrender to my tender heart
My tenderheart, your tenderheart, their tenderhearts
You’re the greatest mother
It comes easily to you
You naturally do, all the things
And they look to you
When they’re blue
And you give them guidance
And dry their eyelids
And do all the things, you need to do
Together, Forever, protector of their tender hearts
My tenderheart, your tenderheart, their tenderhearts
Lay beside me
And feel my heartbeat
Touch me watch it go
Take my hand now
And hold on tightly
Never let you go
The Life We Choose
Everyday
I find a way
To make it through
And back to you
Everyday
You find a way
Back to me
Our family
There are times
I lose my mind
All I need
Fly free
There are times
The ties that bind
Hold you down
To the ground
You look at me
I look at you
This is the life
We both choose
You look at me
I look at you
There is nothing
That we won't do
We work to make it work
We work to make it work
Hard times
Fault lines
Land mines
Fool us
But, in your eyes I see the truth
For our lives, it’s me and you
With our love, we have the proof
We work to make it work
We work to make it work
Everyday
I find a way
To make it through
And back to you
Everyday
You find a way
Back to me
Our family
Thoughts & Prayers
Love Letter
Stained with blood
From my heart
to yours my love
That was our
First Valentine’s
Was I the last thing
On your mind?
There’s children
In the halls
Their protector
Ignored their calls
To help us, help us, help us
They cried.
He shook outside the door
As they died
Over and over
Over and over
Over and over
and over again
How do I
Let you go?
I don’t know…
When everything I see
Reminds me so
The bus stop, the school yard, the willow tree
Where we first kissed
All reveal to me
How you’re missed
Over and over
Over and over
Over and over
and over again
Enough is enough
I can’t take anymore of your
Tragedy apathy
Enough is enough
We can’t take anymore of your
Tragedy apathy
Flags at half mast
At last, things will change
Send your thoughts or
Prayers for all those slain
Absolution
Absolution, please come to me
I beg forgiveness on my knees.
The night that I heard you were gone
The feelings I got were so wrong
For so long I had loved you so
Now it was far to easy to let you go
But I’m sorry
And now it’s too late
To say goodbye
The right way
Each of us carry along
All we have done right or wrong
I have no right to take sum
But in the end that’s what I had done
But I’m sorry
And now it’s too late
To say goodbye
The right way
But here I go, anyway
I love you and I miss you every single day
Smile through, I will laugh away every ounce of pain
Just like you, you taught me to
Absolution please come to me
I beg you’re forgiveness
On my knees
Absolution please come to me
Relapse
Hey man, where have you been?
Locked away from your demons
Build your walls higher
Hide your faults from the world
You smile
All the while
The light is gone
From your eyes
Cracks appear in your veneer
Seeing you dimly through
Subterfuge, glamour
We have all been enamored
You smile
All the while
The light is gone
From your eyes
Your eyes
Your eyes
Memories return, close your eyes
Practice what you've learned, run your lines
Confidence upturned, rationalize
Yeilding to the yearn
You compromise
Hey man, how’ve you been?
Crawled away from your demons
Build your road forward
Welcome back to the world
To My Son
Take my hand
And we’re off again
Where we’ll go
Well I’m sure I don’t know
We’ll wander through
The thistle and the dew
Hill and dale
As we cut our own trail
Come on buddy try and catch me
We can play all day
Running, jumping, climbing something
Singing all the way
Areion this songs for you my son
You’re the one
Makin us laugh when we’ve come undone
Make the darkness run...
Lucky boy, life is filled with joy
When you’re young and your journey’s just begun
As you grow the winds may start to blow
In from the north, don’t get pulled off course
Areion this songs for you my son
You’re the one
Makin us laugh when we’ve come undone
You bring out the sun
You are not alone (We got the time now)
You are not alone (Where do you want to go?)
You are not alone (Anything you want to)
Come on, Come on, Come on
The Shoals
The tide comes in
There’s nothin to do but swim
You can’t fight the current
Just get below it
And hold your breath
When everything’s a mess
And push on through
Until there’s something you can do
It comes in waves
Everyday
The shoals of my soul
Are now exposed
They slowly erode
Churning motion
Reflecting my emotions
Destructive forces
Consequence of your choices
Overwhelm the levies
With hatred, rage, and envy
The lies, the lies, the lies
On ocean of lies
It comes in waves
Everyday
The shoals of my soul
Feel so exposed
They slowly erode
Swelling sea consumes me
Drifting and unmoored
My ballast will entomb me
As I fall overboard
The storm rages on
Harbored inside
Broken dawn
I close my eyes
It came in waves
My final days
The shoals of my soul
Eroded away
The storm surge
Washed me away
