I like candles with the best of them Soothing music is always a good start Dim the lights for a softer mood That perfume always quickens my heart Take me in your arms tonight Whisper every detail of your plans Let me watch you move & sway Notice how much I love being your man
No matter how old I become I’m still searching; I’m still seeking Obtaining considerable sums With any passion, go ahead & start peeking
I’m not one to judge an attitude I can be sinful so I won’t go there I’m no Christian Grey, but I’m no prude If you come unannounced, you’ll find me rather bare
Finding the energy to jump up To start the day in the sunshine Collecting smiles from fresh faces & always returning to the love that’s mine
Pouring another coffee to revive my soul The blacker the better; deeper than the sea Knowing secrets which youth will always deny That happiness is real & it’s forever free
Nonsense & miscalculations they always spew For they see glitter & everything they never tried But experience will tell you simple is better & anything worth fighting for is kept on the inside
I’m trying to listen to your body Trying to feel my way to your heart I’m looking to recover my innocence That which I lost from the start
I’m decidedly envious of your hands For they always remain with you Forever within reach of your flesh When I must bow & bid thee adieu
I’m continuously jealous of your locket & the home it has been given to rest The natural glories akin to Heaven God alone could bestow such a treasured chest
Break free from all your interlocking rules Unsatisfactory way to start your day Too fatigued to suffer gladly these fools Waiting for a sunrise in an errant way
I’d rather return to my bed, closing my eyes No other way to explain how I’m so damn tired Can’t get my life together after all these tries My number always called, but I’m feeling expired
What will it take for me to finally see Time to stumble forward for that pot of coffee
The warmth of a January day A bright golden sun to start the year Taking off clothes when its cold everywhere else Mercury doesn’t cause a Floridian any fear *** Time to take stock of what might be Refreshing breaths while we can clearly see
What do I do with my words
How do I contain when they start to leak
Like the Little Dutch Boy
Who’s listening when I start to speak
But I can’t worry about the audience
I’ve got to keep playing my own tune
The steady groover with the proper notes
When it comes to our hearts, no one is immune
Smelling coffee long before
These tired eyes were ever meant to open
Dreading wakin’ and meetin’ people
No time like now, so here’s to hopin’
The day started & it’s past time to rise
One foot out & eventually the other leg
I’m going to need more of this magic juice
I feel society comin’ at me like the damn plague
I’m not going to forfeit this life
Grasping at reality along the way
Running headlong into risk
Finding out what the youth have to say
Nurturing growth & development
Truth remains after their neglected lie
Sweat falls from my brow – a start
We can’t let the dream of freedom die
