"Dove"

You were a good, good man.
Who held all my respect in hand.
Full of witt,
and full of love;
a Dove I couldn’t get enough of.
We both were caught off guard
by how well we fit.
By your side
and you by mine
but, we knew deep down
there never was much time.
Kept in touch
I tried to show
you weren’t alone.
But, you changed your mind;
you flipped a switch
into someone I never knew existed.
Nine months wait
all in vain
I bet you're running on gin and shame.
You’re dressed in white
and cannot hide
from drinking alone on the base
in the Jacksonville moonlight.
You were a good, good man

So you’re hidden in a mountain of sadness,
Wondering when the sunshine will come.
Wishing for a friend to come save you,
But, not tell them how dark it’s been.
It’s okay you don’t feel like talking,
Healing hearts can take some time.
But, you can bank on me
and a full tank of gas,
For when you’re done giving so many damns.
We’ll go for a drive
in your getaway car,
eat gin and tonics,
but, pass all the bars.
‘Cause I want to wander with you,
make memories, pain can’t undo.
Now I know it’s the Lord’s job to save you,
But, I give you this shoulder of mine.
To hold on to when
The darkness sets in
And to soak up how hard it’s been.
I’ll remind you of the woods you love,
So ever green.
‘N the smell of the that good kind of rain
And that hallowed golden desert
‘N how the canyons ‘r callin’ your name.
We can go for a drive
in your getaway car,
eat gin and tonics,
but, pass all the bars.
‘Cause I want to wander with you,
make memories, time can’t undo.
We’ll go for that drive
in your getaway car,
Head back to the mountain,
Where our love was not far.
And the Son will make us anew,
A love the heart can never undo.

Well, hello there, good grief
I wondered how long you’d be,
To find me...
Hiding in new and old cities,
Thought you’d have better sense to
Leave,
To leave me...
I thought I could lose you,
By running into my maze;
Of my bargains in mind games;
Thought you’d give up and go away.
Even changing my address,
Wouldn’t throw you off scent.
Dear grief…
Thank you for holding me,
On the lonely nights,
When all I want to do,
Is fight or cry,
Dear grief…
I know it was you on those late night drives,
When I was searching for my someone,
I would never find,
You stayed with me…
You, put up with all of this…
You carried all my heart, and his;
To give it time, and let it lie.
I know I never let you sleep,
‘Cause I wait for Love never ready,
To be free…

Angry broken man
Angry broken man
You’re not laughing
You're at war
Running from your heart again
Drinking them bottles dry
Drinking them bottles dry
Turning a blind eye
To life passing by
Leaving hope
behind like broken glass.
Angry broken man
Angry broken man
You’re not singing
Tongue is dust
Songs burned with you
and smoke remains
You bat my hand awaySaying you’re fine, to my faceBut, I can see
The cave you’re hiding in
Filled with all your rage…
Do you think that I won’t understand?
Do you think I won’t stand by my man?Please remember
The words I wrote to you,
You are worth it all…
You are worth it all...
Angry broken man
Angry broken man
You’re not alone here
In this war
This too will pass by my dear,This too will pass by my dear, This too will pass by.
