Not A Teardrop

Not A Teardrop

Not a teardrop, just a memory in the rain

Once upon a time I had love like summer wine
Skin was soft as winter snow
When I was young I didn’t know
Love could cuase a grown man pain

I don’t sit and wonder why
I don’t sleep around and cry
There’s just something in my eye
Not a teardrop, just a memory in the rain

It’s been a long, long time since you put your lips on mine
With your breath so fine like wine, like springtime so divine
I’ll be on the downtown street, lookin plain
If we meet face to face, just walk on by
Not a teardrop, just a memory in the rain

I don’t wanna be no love detective
I’m gonna keep my heart protected
I’m gonna keep my own perspective
Keep all ships sailing in one direction
I’m gonna keep on movin, I’m gonna keep on groovin;
I’m gonna keep on doin’ and I ain’t gonna cry for you girl

Ain’t no great wide ocean
Ain’t no deep blue sea
Ain’t no more spilled milk for you
to puss around with me
Not a teardrop, but a memory in the rain

Cry about it now

No room for discrepancies, hotel got no vacancy
Shout if you want but you can’t touch me
Freak around if you want but you can’t f$*k me
Look up to the sky, go back in your mind
See the fish with the spoon and the man in the moon with the
teardrop in his eye

All’s well that ends well, the story’s told and that’s what people say
The good old days will be back again, remember the time when those words will fly away
Someday when we meet again, it’ll be easy we won’t have to pretend
That we would wish it was like it was back when
Not a teardrop, just a memory in the rain

Not a teardrop, just a memory for the pain
Not a teardrop, just a memory for the rain

What Poison?

What Poison?

What Poison?

What poison this way comes?
Through the mist and sun?
Wears a mask?
Asks to dance?

What villain this way comes?
To try to get me all undone?
What devil? What lurch?
What evil this way comes?

Wearing a mask?
Creeping up behind my back?

Dark wave, tempest cloud
Hidden shroud, evil now;
What nightmare this way comes?
What poison? What curse?
What pain and suffering?
Pain and suffering,
Pain and suffering
Pain and suffering

Pain and suffering
Pain and suffering

New Music: Amaryllis

New song demo, “Amaryllis”, by Joe Eddie

Amaryllis

Amaryllis

Belladonna lily, beautiful lady
Sparkling mistress of the open sands
I have come to set you free, baby put your trust in me
To understand, take my hand; you’re a flower, I’m a man

Amaryllis, I hope you do
Amaryllis, I’m determined to
Amaryllis, I promise you
O Amaryllis, Amaryllis,
Amaryllis, I love you

White with crimson, from the winter rains
You bring me hope from the Western Cape
How I long to see you bloom in the springtime afternoon
Know too well to kiss and tell, the game’s the same, I’m for sale

Amaryllis, I hope you do
Amaryllis, I’m determined to
Amaryllis, I promise you
O Amaryllis, Amaryllis,
Amaryllis, I love you

~ dance ~

Amaryllis, I love you

Ocean winds like a shepherdess swoon amongst the coastal rocks
Naked lady amongst the flower blooms, I’m your nightly moth
Do not fear, we’ll be coming back next year
To understand, take my hand; you’re a flower, I’m a man

Amaryllis, I hope you do
Amaryllis, I’m determined to
Amaryllis, I promise you
O Amaryllis, Amaryllis,
Amaryllis, Amaryllis, I love you

Amaryllis, baby, I love you

Amaryllis,
Amaryllis, I love you
