Good Together
03:13
|

I knew
and you knew
and we knew
that we'd be good together
wake up my dear
i wanna take you somewhere
don't worry about being late
just you and me and a view of the lake
our love grew
and we are still together
and the years flew
because we are so good together
in the night when i wake
i look upon your face
by the light of the moon
can you feel my love
it fills up the room

Heart & Diamonds
02:58
|

he woke at quarter to two
not quite what he wanted to do
but when a ghost still lurks in the room
the mind searches for another clue
there was a woman he knew
wore scarlet red velvet and expensive perfume
she caught his eye from across the hall
and he knew that his life was no longer his own
he showed her his many rooms
books to the ceiling and cases of jewels
in the garden they sat for a drink
glasses clink and their secrets were few
the onlookers knew
their secrets were few
that's what brings us to that night
that night alone in his room
all the ghosts were there
on that fateful night
when the butler was found dead
and all his diamonds gone
and the lady in red
was never to be seen again
was it a rope, a knife or a gun?
heart and diamonds gone

Boxing Gloves
02:37
|

looking out the window
cat in your lap
book is laying open
but you're not looking at that
you're gonna put your boxing gloves on
no one's going to tell you what to do
no one's going to tell you
just what to do
when your mind is on taxi-cabs and fermented food
put your boxing gloves on
no one's gonna tell you what to do
eyes so blue and heart so true
whatever will you do?
eyes so blue and heart so true
you're the one breaking the rules

Dirt Road
02:27
|

She has always lived on a dirt road
through circumstance or through choice all her own
you can see her there
at the end of the drive
looking at the sky
and the northern lights
there are apples in our orchard
and the trees are ripe with fruit
knowing me and knowing you
our hearts and hands are full
when the winter snows and the winds blow
and it takes all morning to shovel out the dirt road
knowing me and knowing you
every season is full
knowing me and knowing you
we let our hearts rule
knowing me and knowing you
our hearts and hands are full

Park and Ride
03:11
|

been hanging around this little town for years now
with nothing going on
you caught my eye and you caught my smile a few times
meet me at the park and ride
there's no better place, no better time
no better place, no better time
than right now
who knew, who knew
you've been here this whole time?
a lot at stake in this hay ride
it's been a joy ride
you are my love, child
you caught my eye and caught my smile for all time
meet me at the park and ride
there's no better place, no better time
no better place, no better time
than right now
who knew, who knew
you've been here this whole time?
now we know, now we know
there's nothing left to miss
now we know, now we know
there's no one left to kiss

Honey and the Knife
04:30
|
|||
Rhythm is what i see in you
and motion is what will see us through
eyes are windows
and we are peering in
without hesitation we are opening
man becomes woman
woman becomes man
fire and air
fire and air
water and sand
a healing breath
delicious strife
the taste of honey
and then the knife
a healing breath
delicious strife
the taste of honey
and then the knife
but the honey
affects the allergies
and the skin erupts into flame
and the only thing
that remains consistent
is the blood on the knife and the moon as it continues to wane
wings and fins
wind and life
the taste of honey and then the knife
wings and fins
wind and life
the taste of honey
and then the knife

Wonderful World
03:03
|

What are you doing tonight?
Think I'll go to the open mic
gonna sing some songs
i hope i sing alright
Gonna meet my friend
we'll have a drink
we'll sit and watch
we'll listen and think
My friend never came
but i'm still going to play
what should I say?
what should i play?
gonna sing about
what i believe
there's a love so big
it lives and breathes
and when I got done
singing my songs
i saw a pair of eyes
that made my heart go thump
i walked on by
too shy to stop
but she reached out her hand
and we started to talk
we haven't stopped
we haven't stopped
i hope we never stop!
gonna sing about what we believe
there's a love so big
it lives and breathes
passing through
this wonderful world
when a girl met a boy
and a boy met a girl
what are you doing tonight?
think i'll go to the open mic.

He's Got Your Back © Mary Bue 2018
Dallas
St Louis
How about Phoenix
Baby, he's got your back
You moved there
You stayed there
You lived there
And now there's no going back
Take off your sunglasses
The darkest night gonna shine
the brightest light
Let's go to Vegas
Gonna get married
at a little white chapel there
Let's go
eat some fancy food
get all dressed up
cuz this one is so mad about you
finally so good for you
Take off your sunglasses
the darkest night gonna shine
the brightest light
"The Finer Things in Life"
She said, "I'm lucky to be his wife."
And at the end of the day
all we can say
is that this love is larger than life
