I didn't want to wake
up this morning

(people who like the winter
most of all enjoy making their
own warmth)

be my summertime?

Christmas lights wove a
rainbow across the trees where
I sampled sound tonight

^

and you, in your far-off wonder, I
believe your mom was smart in allowing
us memories to refresh our smiles

^^

love, you connect my days, string
hope 'tween the branches that grow
overwhelmed with sensory
reflection at the most
inopportune times

^^^

I know you still, so
thoroughly glad we continue with
our lovely living story

Impossibly close, I'm
beginning to believe you were
actually here with me, dreaming
away all doubts

My good friend Katie and I have entered the running for the show of a lifetime.

     I come to you wonderful people today to ask for your help.

We need to network via all the social media and amass as many "likes" and five-star ratings on the site as possible in order to open for Tyler Ward in Atlanta this winter.

Simply go to this web address: http://www.topblip.com/w/15262

       Listen to our song, click on the fifth star and connect through Facebook to give us a
STAR RATING (the vote number should instantly increase by five), "LIKE" our video, and SHARE IT with your friends, please!

                   You can give another STAR RATING ONCE A DAY for the remainder of the contest!
                       (if everyone reading this goes and does it, we will win.)

             Thank you so much for your support of this new creative jaunt of mine, I really
                         believe we can land the show with your help :)

(As some incentive, we're about to release a lovely CD, and I would be happy to send off the    tracks to helpful souls like yours!)


Banjo Song

Did you find what you were looking for
Did you walk across the golden shore
My dear, I wish the world for you and much much more
I hope you find what you've been looking for

Do you cry when the day is done
Did the strength you needed never come
When the world is turned against you and you're on the run
I hope you find the strength to carry on

Have you forgotten me, my friend
I love you know, I loved you then
While you were out there in the world without me

Do the city lights excite your soul
Do you walk the quiet country road
No matter where you choose to share your boots, somehow I know
That's the place I wanna go

So meet me by that old porch swing
Where we'll sit and talk and laugh and sing
There ain't no place in the whole **** world I'd rather be
Than right here with you next to me

All my love I'll send
Cause our crooked paths are sure to meet again

Do you hear me when I call your name
Do you choose to walk the other way
You said time ain't gonna break us, but I guess times changed
When you were out there in the world without me

That little heart shaped from green?
                         as I am.
         love formed with time and care, growing
     stronger and more vibrant every second,
            
               immortalized
                    there with you.

While it's easy to talk about holding on to
moments, they always slip through your
fingers in hindsight (I never thought I'd miss
having my name penciled on a napkin holder)

always is a strong word, I just
know I won't be around forever

and I'm not supposed to, not
yet

There are times when everything is right.

Such times are coming.
