ringing telephone

I hear my phone ring hasn't rung all night

I don't know what it's for but to pick up take all of my might

the voice on the other end is cracking and shaking

they tell me that you've gone and my heart it starts breaking

you've fought this for years but couldn't make it through

as i hold back my tears all i can think is how much i miss you

My memory of you is already clouded and droopy

that memory fell through like a basketball goes through a hoop

the last time i saw you you were mad and you told me you hate me

now that plagues my thoughts and i can't believe that you're gone

the sickness it took you and we knew that it would

but that didn't force us to treat one another the way that we should

now that you've gone in the ground in a case of wood

all i can do is tell myself i did all that i could

fifty years later i wonder if it will feel the same

as it did that first day i wonder if i'll still place the blame

on myself even though i know that that can't be true

what happened was faultless no one to blame not me not you

you've been gone so long that it feels you were never here

no matter how much time goes by my vision won't clear

an eternity could pass through my life like a dream passes through my head

and it won't change how much i miss you laying in my bed

new song

the road that leads

The way is clear but he can't make it through

The only thing blocking his way is keeping you

his eyes they burn with the dust that hangs in the air

all he can do is wish he could not care

the road that leads from houston and takes him to your door

its an uphill fight, it takes all night and he doesn't think he'll make it through

The night is black when he appears to you

shit in your blood keep your vision dimmed as he calls to you

but you can't make out what it is he says

you read between the lines there's too much space between your heads

the road that leads from denver and take him to LA

is a road that he can beat but he has lost his way

so i lead him back put him on the path

takes him right back to your door at nighthe'll be back with you tonight

the way is clear but i can make it through

there's not a thing that blocks the path that leads to you

my eyes feel like they've sprung a leak

i can't help but care but it's all i could ever need

the roads that leads fro my house takes me straight to your door

its the path i'll stay as long as it takes i don't need anything more

i can hear exactly what you say no need to read in to things its pure honesty

i don't need to worry anymore cause our minds they match like a puzzle built upon the floor

the way is clear and i can make it through

there's not a thing that blocks the path that takes me straight to you

his eyes they burn with the dust that hangs in the air

i can't help myself you're all i need you're all that i could care to see, lying here next to me
