Standing on the corner. It’s just another day Feeling kind of empty. Got nothing left to say Lost my pride long ago. I have nothing to lose I’m standing on the corner, just trying to catch a glimpse of you Remember those days, when we were quite the pair You were so charming, I was debonair A story book romance with love so true Now I’m standing on the corner hoping to get a glimpse of you Our love blossomed like a rose that blooms Now I’m standing on a busy street breathing in fumes Don’t know how it happened You took me by surprise I never got the message when I looked in your eyes Yes, I was stunned when you bid me adieu And now I’m standing on the corner waiting for a glimpse of you Standing on the corner, standing on the corner, standing on the corner

In the darkness of the night, you hold on to your dreams so tight If the daylight is too bright, you settle for what others think is right As the days and nights unfold, the facts you can’t deny You can’t be bought and sold, the price is much too high hm hm hm Deep thoughts and a clever mind, won’t make you a legend in your time If you ride a wave too high, you may come crashing down inside As the days and nights unfold, the facts you can’t deny You can’t be bought and sold, the price is much too high Say hello to the dream catcher. You can put away what ever has you down You can start anew with the dream catcher and go around and around and around

In a moment they’ll be reaching for the big guns Having held back for a not so very long time You laid your cards on the table – thinking honesty will save you Ah, but life goes on ……and you’re hanging by a thread The world…never did make sense to you You can’t confine yourself to ordinary folk You made your choice of living …you had to take what they were giving Ah, but life goes on …and you’re ……hanging by a thread You make your representations But life goes on…and you’re …hanging by a thread You walk where angels fear to tread You never ask for something for nothing You always pay your respects You walked through the front door…but they didn’t see you coming But life goes on…and you’re still hanging by a thread

What can I say to you that I haven’t said before? What can I do to change your mind? So you won’t walk out the door. I have so much to tell you, but I need a little more time. My feelings are ready to flow so won’t you give me a little more time - a little more time. I’ll be home in a couple of days and we can talk a while. You can tell me how I’ve broken your heart … How I’ve stolen your every smile. I have so much to tell you, but I need a little more time. My feelings are ready to flow, so won’t you give me a little more time – a little more time. Just open your eyes and you’ll see what you need to see. Only then will you realize if it’s meant to be, it’s meant to be. But I can be the one to hold you when you cry your nights away. I have so much to tell you, but I need a little more time. My feelings are ready to flow, so can you give me a little more time – a little more time

So you got your feelings hurt one more time Seems like we’ve been done this road before It shouldn’t come as a big surprise You had to know what was in store I’ve done all that I can do and I’m not coming back to you You built me up then you tore me down You made me a fool you made me clown You set your sights on another guy He found you out in a blink of an eye I’m sure you don’t pity me And I’ll try not to pity you I’m sure you’ll be moving on And leave me here to mend my wounds You said we had something rare A special bond for us to share Looking back, I take the blame For not picking up on your games

Came into our lives like a sweet little hurricane Wondering if our lives will ever be the same Not a moment too soon to save myself from myself Needed a push to put my needs on a shelf What’s the hurry, plenty of time to move about You couldn’t stay still like you were trapped in side yourself Not afraid to lose, not afraid to feel the pain You’re the one to put some skin in the game So maybe you’ve been here before In another time and place You have the strength to open the door So much more for you to embrace Don’t be fooled by those who aren’t sincere In a matter of time their motives will be clear So many roads to take so many turns and twists Trust your instincts and your heart will not resist Hold on to those dreams. Don’t let time wear them down A mountain looks daunting, when you’re standing on the ground Make a plan, make a move, chart a course You’ll succeed with your spirit as your source.

Reflection 03:36
Any time there’s a ripple in the water; you call me up and ask my advice Like I really care How was I to know the man babbling to himself on the street really knows the truth He just doesn’t look the part And time takes you down And you can’t get back on your feet Put your ear to the ground and you wander out on the street Covering up your problems only takes them out of site; it doesn’t change the facts You better take them back I was traveling on a sinuous road and I came across a murder of crows and they were looking at me As if they knew me well And you feel the wind in your face as it spins you in another direction Until you find that place and you stare at your own reflection I’m playing my new guitar, but I can’t seem to find the chords that were in my head when I woke up last night I saw a forest where the trees burned down and it made me sad to see the brown How I miss the green ..I miss the green

You can live it up or you can live it down You can stay hold up in your room or be a man about the town You can take it slow or you can make it fast You can look towards the future or you can live in the past You can understand the sun and the moon and the stars that shine above But how can you be somebody without someone to love It takes a man like you to see the forest for the tree It takes a man like you to make a woman weak in the knees. You can wear a cape, or sport a wide brimmed hat You can eat caviar, or spend your time chewing the fat Someone to love You can climb K-2, or you can take a warm bath You can plead for mercy or perpetrate wrat You can take it slow, or you can make it fast You can look towards the future or you can live in the past
