Healing A Heartache V1 You tore my soul to scrap iron Thanks love bulldozer Been reading Shelley and Byron Rebuilding romance in a steel enclosure I’m back to 82% badassery Broke out of my regret With renewed dragon energy Pre Give me morning Kona I’m leaping far beyond ya Training in Patagonia CH 1 I’m busy healing a heartache Eating emergency chocolate It’s hard work heading a heartache Binging Rocky 1 through 8 Healing a heartache V2 Flew to Saint Tropez French Riviera To bathe in golden rays Drinking vodka under peach umbrellas I got my sea legs back From that azure bay Felt my doubt retract From a shipwrecked, sandy Cay Pre CH 1 BR We used to love to go out driving On the Hana Highway We’d go off cliff hang gliding we lost the book of scenic byways Your soul twisted and mine went into hiding V3 I’m a rebuilt bionic me Wearing moon beams like a hat A battle fleet against your haunted sea Suaveness like a Calico cat I’m the Rock of Gibraltar Streaming Donna Summer Sacrificed my pride on the altar Cranking up the beats of my own drummer Pre CH 2 Excuse me, I’m healing a heartache Climbing Kilimanjaro It’s crazy I’m healing a heartache Loafing an Ironman tomorrow healing a heartache Its hard work healing a heartache It’s uphill healing a heartache Excuse me, I’m healing a heartache I’m halfway through healing a heartache

Margaritas on the Moon By Dave Kirkpatrick V1 Frazzled up out of your mind The world’s taken leave of its senses Building refugee fences Work just devours your time Like a corporate Venus Flytrap Have to get off planet CH Margaritas on the Moon That’s the travel destination for you Steal the keys to the Lunar Rover That old engine would still turn over Margaritas on the Moon You just can’t beat the view Do a pub crawl on the dark side Bring your golf clubs for some epic long drives V2 Time to pack up that spacesuit The trip to Roswell was definitely worth it They said it was legit Costco had rocket fuel But that ship was DYI Hope it clears the sky CH BR Looking back a marble shaped, sapphire Earth You get a swell of hope you’re not sure that we deserve You believe in the cost of what our freedom’s worth And belief itself is like a second birth. V3 Smashed right through gravity Looked down on all of our problems- like a giant It’s time to re-bond with humanity Land that Mothership right on Wall Street Maybe get greed to pause a beat CH

Come on better days V1 I remember the endless rays of summer A trip to Galveston as a “date” Jumping sea weed in briney water Star fish on the Promenade A sweet kiss and water ice CH We all want to get back to living Through disease and decay Come on better days No limit to our believing As our sea anchors drift away Come on better days V2 I can remember days of wonder Colored chalk scratched out on the concrete Whimsical words and colors Children playing stickball in the street Wet sneakers and ice cream CH BR All the wisdom that passes Like fragile blown glass Come on better days We still set our sights on the stars Through the interstellar dark Come on better days Our hearts still spark and blaze Through the Pea Soup misty haze Come on better days V3 Now ache concern for the family Old and new life huddled in darkling shadow I play board games to kill the anxiety Anybody remember how to play Uno? Hog the controller and popcorn CH CH

One sweet kiss V1 I saw a girl in the Starbucks line She drank espresso with a slice of lime Classic and refined. She whirled past me back to her chair With a Vidal bob of honey blond hair Gorgeous but unaware How am I going to get the nerve to tell her? CH Hi Hello You’re a goddess I’ll be honest One sweet kiss And i’ll love you forever Can’t resist Your ruby red lips Use my quick wit For one sweet kiss And I’ll love you forever V2 I shuffled over and said hello Her smile hit me like a million volts It was hard not to bolt. I asked if she’d rather drink whiskey? Chill it with snow and it gets smooth quickly. She said absolutely. Maybe I’ll get the nerve to tell her? CH BR Found out we both like sinking pints in London And staying up to greet the sun. She only likes tea if it’s Darjeeling and I’m feeling it just takes one sweet kiss. CH CH

Lord of Light V1 Ever wonder what it’s all for? Running through life, babe to grave Is this all keeping score? In some pointless game Maybe there’s a way, a path to find That cove where your heart used to be A light house that pierces the sky While violent seas are foaming CH The thing is: there’s a Lord of Light Holy Power, One who put birds in flight Soaring higher, breaking through eternal night Oh, Lord of light V2 There’s a whole lot of signs Billboards on the road trail through deep forest pine To a breathtaking emerald city filled with clover Your not alone feel it in your marrow Hearts surge forward to home A nest for the sparrow Oh, Lord of light CH The thing is: there’s a Lord of Light Holy Power, One who put birds in flight Soaring higher, breaking eternal night Oh, Lord of Light BR Bruised and fighting across the starlight Scrambling for a hidden door Come and save me, Lord of Light Patch my soul with Your glory Oh, Lord of light V3 You’re tired of pretending This secular world can meet all your wildest dreams You’ve found a Creator and friend That’s worth believing Oh, Lord of Light Capture our thoughts The Love shines so brightly You’re loved and no longer lost Thanks Lord of light! CH The thing is: there’s a Lord of Light Holy Power, One who put birds in flight Soaring higher, breaking eternal night Oh, Lord of Light
