He Gave Her Murder 11-3/4-2008 He was a cold, dark man in just a lost souless town He had nothin' to lose when that feelin' came around He earned a little next to nothin' but he called it just his own Now he feels a little reckless 'cuz he feels so all alone There was an eye in the ceiling going up and down He had the strangest look of feeling like he'd already drowned They say his soul ain't got not stuffin' you can tell it on the phone Then he'll fill you full of blessings that have never been known He said, "Don't give away your silence, not to anyone" "Measure your defiance before you go so far from home" She wouldn't listen to him, she never really knew He couldn't take it any further, that thought to be with you He had so many options he but didn't take that view So when he couldn't take it any further, he wondered if he had ever really heard her There was just one way to go like the storybooks we all know He was a living paradigm like a long lost sole deserter in the field of time Everyone would know how he'd hurt that day And he wouldn't take it any further, maybe he actually had heard her All the good came back to his head - but instead --- he gave her murder He gave her murder red through and through, such a big bloody well to do Nothin' felt so right as to be in that ancient disguise He seen so much of the right and wrong that had plagued his dreams - for so long He could only turn to her, and then he heard every word He put a different face upon his head, and all the little things were left unsaid He was gonna fix every little thread - but instead -- he gave her murder He gave her murder in the pre-dawn hours under light from signal towers And he made sure they wouldn't find her for a week or two He saved his glory from the road to ruin without knowing what he was doing He let his life light go out like some good folks do He said he didn't deserve her, she was his one true life preserver He said all those things - but still instead -- he gave her murder He said, "Don't give away your silence, not to anyone" "Measure your defiance before you go so far from home" She wouldn't listen to him, she never really knew He couldn't take it any further, that thought to be with you He had so many options he but didn't take that view He had a dark green soul to keep the black in night He paid some heavy duty tolls every day of his life There's some times that he was happy though he surely never was His brain went back to nothing just like the daylight does His character corrupted like a sad political hack Nothing was to gain from ever going back To the sad faced few that remembered him well He never was considered as a devil from hell So when he couldn't take it any further, he wondered if he had ever really heard her There was just one way to go like the storybooks we all know He was a living paradigm like a long lost sole deserter in the field of time Everyone would know how he'd hurt that day And he wouldn't take it any further, maybe he actually had heard her All the good came back to his head - but instead --- he gave her murder He gave her murder red through and through, such a big bloody well to do Nothin' felt so right as to be in that ancient disguise He seen so much of the right and wrong that had plagued his dreams -

it's a time to go, where it leads, I don't know Not too scared about what's ahead, ain't got no blankets over my head The road is long and the nights are clear, the destination is very near Don't need answers that I may fear, I know I can make it from here I guess I can find my way, no matter what they all say No one knows this better than me, it's the way I was born to be Nothin' too bad that I can't take, ---------------------------------------------------------------- when i'm alone, my thoughts go through such changes you don't can't see , know how i lose the confidence that I feel when you are with me but then a strength inside challenges all i'm meant to be and I can begin again to rise and face the storm not helpless or forlorn not afraid or always, ever torn because with you I am reborn take control of me in the night, I can feel so lost I can only find a place so deep inside of me that challenges all I'm meant to be and as time has made us stronger with each obstacle we face Life can sometimes feel so hopeless without our love in place, a place, home for love but i know there's not a moment, not a struggle i'd replace for everything i've done till now has been b so much time has passed, come between us , such obstacles we face take control of me i need your love to take control of me Everything I've been through, such troubles and such pain All become past memories when I hold you once again explain I can't explain the way you do it, how you've reached my soul but all I know is how I feel when your love takes, has me by in, control It's the freedom of my liberation for, and I have no secrets anymore All I feel is inspiration when you come thru my door your love comes that door I've got to tell you everything, to tell you my journey's done I know inside my heart has found that you're the only one You take control of me, of all that I can, will really grow to be You've focused (focus and reflect) on all the brightest lights in me And I see that in my life there truly has been but, just one goal is one goal and that is for you to love me.....and for you to take control take control of me you've waited long enough for me to see so long for me to see now I know what real love will always be it's you again, and just the way you look at me take control of me there's no reason to deny how i've always felt inside take control of me it's with you I have a home and no reason to feel alone be alone take control of me we'll share now all the future's days deep in the love ways Sometimes you don't know which way to go Sometimes there's just too much to grow You've gotta find a way to make it work out Failing that, you're gonna live without Time will change the way love leans Letting dreams get in front of dreams I let my dreams get in front of my dreams It gets so crazy, but you know what I mean There's a time to make it all seem right When you're alone on a lonely night you can take so much and not get it back there's a chance that you'll fall off track But it's not the faith or the hope you lack
