Hard Lesson To Learn

Picture an oasis, inviting and lush
You never really get there, well that feels a lot like us
You never catch a rainbow, still it’s nice to believe
There might be something real there, just like you and me
I can whisper something to you, shout into your ear
It doesn’t mean that much if you don’t want to hear
Still you don’t believe it, that the truth works best of all
Not knowing if you win or lose, if we stand or fall (but it’s a)
Hard lesson to learn, yes it’s a hard lesson to learn
When the bridges have been burned, the seasons have all turned
Yes, it’s a hard lesson to learn
Did you ever wake up screaming about what it means to be?
The past and future don’t exist and now to fast to see
Consider the things we rise above, consider the things we hate
Trying hard to take control and leave the rest to fate
Think who you would like to be, think who you have been
Counting all your blessings, subtracting all your sins
Convince yourself that somehow that must be a purpose to it all
You’re waiting for the answer, you’re waiting for a call
Think of the situation, think of the life you live
Things that must be learned like when to take and when to give
Look me in the eyes. Tell me what you see
When you reach the bottom is it you or is it me
Try to look deep down inside to see just what is real
Feelings can be genuine or something that you steal
Keep the things you need to be locked behind a door
Feel the need to set them free, that’s what loves is for (but it’s a)
Hard lesson to learn, yes it’s a hard lesson to learn
When the bridges have been burned, the pages have been turned
Yes, it’s a hard lesson to learn

Brenda's Back

Took away my sanity, leaving much too soon
Left me with a memory, the smell of her perfume
Brenda’s back, she’s come around, this time we’re going to finally make it right
She’s back, this time around, I’m going to grab and hold on tight
Step back, rub my eyes, I’ve never seen her looking so fine
She’s back to take my hand, this time she’s going to be all mine
Emotions unreliable, heart too much involved
Reasons unexplainable, never been resolved
She led me to an open door, she could set me free
Feelings undeniable, when she’s here with me
Brenda’s back, she’s come around, this time we’re going to finally make it right
She’s back, this time around, I’m going to grab and hold on tight
Step back, rub my eyes, I’ve never seen her looking so fine
She’s back to take my hand, this time I’m going to make her mine, all mine
Brenda’s back, she’s come around, just like a burst of sunshine
She’s back, this time around, I’m going to make her mine, all mine
She’s back to take my hand, going to stay with me all night
She’s back, looking so fine, what a great and welcome sight

Don't Try To Talk

Don’t try to talk me out of loving you cause it won’t succeed
Don’t try to say for a warm embrace that you have no need
Motivations all are in the right place so don’t try discouraging me.
Don’t try to tell me when it comes to love that you don’t believe
And don’t start saying how it’s getting late and you have to leave
Take your time, don’t move too fast but, baby, please stay with me
When we first met you know you won my heart
But you want to be sure before the loving starts
Don’t mistake what I feel inside
Baby, don’t run and hide from me
Don’t start talking about your old mistakes and your tragedies
And don’t try to tell me in the ways of love you lack expertise
There ain’t no rules, it’s just common sense, now, baby,
Why don’t you see?
I’ve got no plans but it’s understood
Everything I do I try to do it good
You make me happy, won’t you hear my plea
Baby, stop talking that stuff to me
This ain’t the kind of thing you throw away, I can guarantee
And don’t try to tell me deep down inside that you don’t agree
We got something, babe, we’re on the right track, so, baby,
please stick with me
You got to understand if the feelings good
That two can be happier than one ever could
Don’t be frightened by what you feel
Honey, this loves for real, believe.
