Pigtails
These pigtails of mine,
Fade with the coming of times,
Little red bikes to little red cars,
getting high on life,
getting high at bars,
childhood friends,
they slip away,
the sky that you thought you knew was blue,
has turned to gray
Chorus
Innocence is faded glory,
all my memories tell a story,
my ribbons gone and the road I'm on will only lead me home,
shoot the payphone,
nobody's ever home,
plus they wouldn't like what they'd hear,
to hear he's lying near
touch his face he hasn't shaved for days,
you're spiraling into an unstoppable maze,
grab a cold one and fade away,
but the morning light is here to stay
Chorus
Bridge
Can you hear the angels sing amazing grace,
when you close your eyes ca you still see you're mama's face,
do you love the life you've made for yourself?
Or are you just looking for a way to get out?
These pigtails of mine,
fade with the coming of times

Wishing she could be the one
Sitting by the window
In the dawns early light,
I'm wide awake and thinking
Nothings wrong, all is right,
I can't believe how
WORLDS DIE DAILY.
Bring me the broken hearted,
Bring me the tears and shame,
Bring me sad desolation,
And screams of fear and
The lantern I hold, accents my way.
No other light shines on these broken days.
Hope is with me, I'm prepared to fight.
For
"The Way to Be"
She died one day
She didn't see it coming
It was a good day
To pass away
She wanted to know
Wanted to know herself
