Old Rocking Chair

Old Rocking Chair

Oh Gloria remember when you came up close in spirit to show me love
show me more of that beauty you have...
yes inside we are bones, blood, guts. organs, muscle and scar tissue...
but your wonderful soul shows through your eyes
and your spirit shines like an angel... if you were with me there wouldn't be an issue
your not the devil they made you out to be... don't blame the whole world
because a few tyrants don't add up to the sum of one
 no other lady will ever add up to the sum of one
you are not a monster and neither am I
you will always be an angel in my eyes

I know I have a lot to put on the table since I've been back
but I've had a lot to say to you over the years
my life feels like I'm still in time sitting on an old rocking chair
back n forth creeking on an old wood floor
A ghost writer of perdition who just needed your love
where were you while I was out there writing dissonant love songs
lost in desolation... without direct translation...
riddles that only you and I understood
why did you keep me burning...
now I'm the pheonix rising from the ashes of the wake
only love can save us now and the storm is brewing in the couldron
the witches are dancing with shadows and I'm not a fake
I didn't come back to lie to you
decipher my riddles and see me through
the divine folk say I'm a beautiful man
therefore why do you go back there where the mind should never go
you sound like a horror story... the story that is over...
can we move on to the next chapter of our lives and take my hand

There was time when I was lost in the smog…
Than I saw you again and I broke through the thick fog
You knocked me down… On my knees... Off-of my high horse…
You keep me level headed and grounded
You take me down a few notches…
Less is more of what we want
when we want more we're astounded
How can I be empty when my cup overflows…
I just have nothing much to say to most folk out there
Talking about people spreading gossip
turning against their fellow man
Turning family against each other,
turning us against one another
Turning us against the one or the other
Did you think she was your possession,
she isn’t an object of your obsession
she is what love is made of…
and she can love who she decides to love
let that wild flower blossom…
let her grow into an independent woman
she doesn't need a man...
she needs a best friend
let me turn your life upside down
and sweep you off-of her feet
I'm here to listen I hear your dreams
I don't want to hear your screams
in the dead of the night
come to my new pad... 
I ain't much of a romeo
but I do my best to be romantic...
when romance is hopless the spark dies...
 

Oh Gloria... I'll surprise you and keep the spark alive
I didn't mean to come off the way I did
but without you I wouldn't survive
this world is a predestined fateful circumstance
full of coincidences and surprises
try to see all the little miracles that happen all around us
Sometimes she’s better left alone to think things through
sometimes what she sees is not really her point of view
these few infidels got her pressed against the broken glass  
sometimes I feel like I need to go out and kick some ass
I want to be a hero but I'm not very brave
I want to be a perfect ten but I'm not a slave
I veared off on a side winding path somewhere and I haven't made it back
I am the way I am the light in the darkest point before dawn
I am the morning star... I am 5AM …
sometimes we have to let her know
That we are free… we are a team…
The world isn’t out to get her 
and I’m not working against her

With you… I can talk for hours about everything and nothing
With you… I can talk about ideas and life and the unknown
With you… I can have everything without having everything
With you… I can know everything without knowing everything
With you… I will forget this stigmata without forgetting who I am
With you… I can care about what matters without giving a damn about what doesn't matter
With you… I can live the selfless dream without living the selfish dream
With you… As bad as it’s been nothing is as bad as it may seem

It is heaven by my side and you never have to be afraid
By my side you can speak your mind, Oh we’ll have it made in the shade
With you it's like I’m meditating still in time under an old oak tree
With you it’s like we wait until the time is right to be set free
Forever is a long time you said I had to wait forever
Oh when will you love me like no other like no end
I want to be your king, your lover, and your best friend
We don’t need a picture perfect wedding but it looks good on paper
Whats said and done can stay in the back burner
My devotion to you is to put the pain behind us
And love one another like no other like no end
Be my queen, my lover and my best friend
It’s heaven beside me and it’s strange that it makes you a weapon
I want to be my own master, my own best friend
We can be our own worst enemy of the heart
I don’t feel like myself when I feel miles apart
No one can come between us again
Don’t turn your back on us again
You’ve bombarded me with a barrage of come downs
There is nothing I can’t handle
Don’t you think I’ve heard it all before
Your whirlwind won’t blow out the candles
I came back for you… and the flame is alive
Love is more than heartache… pain for timeless pleasure
It’s more than one man can take… let’s live a life of leisure
The pressures off… have a change of heart
I knew you were the one the first day
I looked in your eyes…. I knew without knowing
that it would all come to a moment of truth
They can’t keep us apart…
now that I’ve come closer to the fire in the heart
I hate it when I feel miles apart
Oh Gloria you are a warrior of light
and you don’t have to fight alone anymore
you’ve done so much for others
and it’s time someone does something for you
I’m setting you free because with me
you are as free as you allow yourself to be
You are a voice of reason and I am a voice of faith
I mean what I say and I say what I mean
Yet I didn’t mean some of the things I said
my world is full of game players
and we all must stand together
or we won’t cross the river
to see what it’s like to shine
I’d be a fool to play a game with you…
I am yours and you are mine
I don’t want to lose you…
I’m keeping it real with you
Keep the faith strong…
don’t let no body do you wrong

Oh Gloria I’d rather be your best friend
than to lose you in the end
And nothing or no one will stop me from loving you
this time around
It must drive them crazy when I sing this song…
my knees hit the ground
Take me and make me your man
because you are mine and I am yours
I didn’t mean to leave you feeling abandoned…
I didn’t know what I was getting myself into

Someone once told me “she loves you”
Oh she knows me more than I know myself
What scares me the most is the slightest thought of losing you forever
Because you are my forever and ever amen…

I threw the flowers on the floor
because they told me you were dead
I came flying off my rocker
I didn’t mean to say he words I said
They told me you were shot in the dark
where the devil breaks his bread
I didn’t believe in them…
I had to see it for myself
You say your alive
but are you alive and well
Let’s create heaven in our minds
because we’ve been through hell
Couldn’t know much more
than what comes from the heart
my heart is no fool, my mind can’t be fooled
because I trust my intuition
it tells me to trust in you
even though you’ve let me down
I understand… you’re not the weapon
You’re just a bit misunderstood
Not all men are evil, the heart of mankind is mostly good
There’s a few out there that make us look bad
Same goes for woman, religion, or politics
Theres a few bad apples that fall of the tree
While we flourish and eat the fruit off the top of the tree

When I rekindle your flame
I let it burn ever so slightly
calm and vigorously sparkling
I see the reflection of my flame in your eyes
not in no other... We gave them hell… 
Time is a ticking bomb ready to go off
Breaking out of this desolation…
clearing my eyes blackened by the scoff
Take me in your arms and don’t ever let me go…
I’m not leaving you behind ever again
I’m not letting you let me go…
don’t ever let me let you go
