Castor Without Pollux

You are a part of me
apart from me.

You and I were raised up in the sky
to show the world the glow inside our eyes.

We are stars
when we believe we are.
We are stars when we believe.

I see you in winter night
and summer sunlight.
There is empty space beside you
where I used to shine.

You watched me slowly fall so low
to where you could not follow.

I let in doubt
to take my light out.
I let in doubt to take my light.

You are a part of me
so far apart from me.

Ways and Wanderers

I attended a Mormon funeral today and was inspired to write this. The post-chorus and outro are old and the chorus is an old idea rewritten. The rest is new.

Note: Edited Oct. 27, 2008 and Nov. 7 2009 and Sept. 18, 2010


I have left the way
but I am not a wand'rer.
I will find you at the end.

My enemies light
fears of fire
that I will fight until the end.

Steady now your heartbeats.
As one sound the heart beats.

Take that cold graven cross
and heat it in (with) your heart
until you've found the end.

Beautiful, Beautiful Day

This is a lyric written a little over a year ago as a birthday present.

Beautiful, beautiful day
I'd spend no other way
than with you in my arms
and me in your arms.
When night comes we'll look to the stars.
We'll lie on our backs
and try to decide
which ones we are.

I will never let you go.
I will never let you feel alone.
Though we may be worlds apart
you'll be in my heart.

Deep into the night we will go
though we won't always know
just what to do
to get us through
to the other side of those woods.
When we find white moonlight
we'll seal our love tryst
with a soft kiss.

We'll wait till dawn.
and really, night's not that long
a time to wait compared to
the beautiful beautiful day
I'd spend no other way
than with you in my arms
and me in your arms.

In Spite Of What You Say

It's a little on the cute side. That's atypical for me.

The world is spinning around still
in spite of what you way.
You're just talking with your willy.
It's not as bad as all that now.
In spite of what you say
it's better than it was yesterday.

What has got you to thinking
that we've all been drinking
that silly stuff you're drinking.
Things just keep getting greener
In spite of what you say
you can't explain that away. No,
you've got to show me
where you were going. Oh,
but you'll never tell.

The world is moving around still
in spite of what you say
you're just talking with your willy.
It's so much better than you know.
Flying up here in this
fleet of clouds
I see it all
and it's making me homesick
Even though I'll be there
quicker than I ever dreamed.
