In the End We'll Be OK

In the End We’ll Be Okay

By Andrew James

Verse 1:

(Andy)     

  I try to be your running man

  walk the beach in the sweet sea sand

  you help be someone

you helped me understand

  I wanna be your harvest moon

  your summer breeze in the middle of June

  I’ll show you something

help you write this broken tune

  I ask you someday if one day you would help me see

  you ask me one day if someday we'll be getting free

Chorus:

  I’ll always love you with a tender heart

  tell me lover that you’ll stay

  Oh believe when I promise I’ll never part

  And in the end we’ll be okay

 

Verse 2:

I want to be your milky way

all your stars and your heavenly space

you helped me see

written all over your face

I want to be your nobel prize

for feeding children and discovering the sunrise

you tell me secrets

take off my disguise

Bridge

Chorus

Verse 3:  

I want to be your darling dear

the one you call when your end is near

we can go together

let me take you there

I wanna be your only man

I wanna be everything I can

Oh oh oh

You help me understand

Bridge

Chorus

Howl @ the Moon

Howl at the Moon

I close my eyes not a moment to soon

the dream kicks in when running to the room

where the demons play in the devils tomb

When our eyes met I knew I was the fool

A white witch lady with electric eyes

she caged my heart kept it locked up tight

we fell in love down by the river that night

but the only place i knew her was deep inside

A stone in my eyes made me rock and roll

The cramp in my mind made me lose control

A stale pale dream made me come to soon

my human being starts howling at the moon

The years kept going and they left me behind

our visions overgrown cold and confined

like the rose and the briar we were forever intertwined

by our imaginary love was distant and unkind

I sought you out I knew your soul was real

but the dark arts secrets kept you far and concealed

we made a hidden lotus grown out of the night

I accept our fate and wait for our souls to collide

I feel it in my fingers

and sense with brain

an open ended question

flowing like your streams

the hope of satisfaction

erodes with every dawn

your spirits sweet nectar

I'm sucking till it's gone

it's scratching and it's clawing

the penetrating the gnawing

predictably withdrawing

like every morning swift thawing

Like a thoughtful poet perturbing

this rhyming getting disturbing

this nocturnal journey's unearthing

a part of my soul that's worth conserving

A stone in my eyes made me rock and roll

The cramp in my mind made me lose control

A stale pale dream made me come to soon

my human being starts howling at the moon

Bang Bang Bang

Boom Boom Boom

The night in your heart makes me howl at the moon

I fought with the dark

and I swam in your pools

the night your heart makes me howl at the moon

Understand

Driving down I 89

looking for an exit from this ride

need to rest to stay alive

need to think and need to revive

the passions that flee from this road

a moment of peace from this overload

you'll get what you need or so I been told

when this life over you get rest for your soul

I understand what you're trying to do

But I don't know if it will work

They bring us together to tear us apart

the sooner we get there the sooner we'll start

maybe we could just listen to each others heart

maybe we could listen to one more part

you tell me your wishes I'll sing you my name

I think it is silly I think it is lame that

we're kind of similar we're kind of the same

we look at each other hoping we'll both change

falling up standing sound

I think of you as my solid ground

I'd hoped for love but I needed pain

there's no way else I'd understand

I push you down and you tear me apart

selfish ambitions fill up our heart

it's not what we want or what we need

to make the other hurt to make sure we can bleed

you hold open your arms and draw your home

i keep my mouth shut and draw you a bomb

drop it on my foot that blows you away

you open up your door and invite me to stay

Peace comes in stands next to my seat

expects your hospitality and something to eat

you make up some eggs and some fresh killed meat

I turn my head away ashamed by needs

She takes my hand and says there's hope for the blind

hope for the sinner and hope for our minds

what do you think of that you whisper to me

I said as long as I can rule we can all be free

Stop and listen to yourself

you sound like someone else did long ago

and you think that you can play

the games not a game and cats don't have 9 lives

Joyful Cry II (Song for a queen)

I wrote this song for my 93 year grandmother :D It actually uses the chorus that I wrote for my other grandmother. Always a wonderful time to honor those who came before you.

Joyful Cry(Song for a Queen)

Sitting on your front porch swing

talking softly sipping sweet tea

Your ears always open even when your closed

so let me tell you one more time

before you go away

there's never enough to tell you though

Sure you're tired to think for so long

like a river flooding your land

life grows on and I understand

God only knows how long

you've known

I'm so sorry that it's time to go

but it's been a long good life

you've seen a lot of love from the people you know

but it's time to say goodbye

And When I think about it I can not lie

it's your memory that brings a joyful cry:)

Like a bird in a blueberry bush

scattering seeds all over creation

you spun that wheel a thousand times

till it landed on what's right

the price is never worth cost

but you were worth the price

Oh my lady my queen

you have cradled me

in arms that never let go

quite opinionated at times

thank God you shared your mind

now I know the things

I thought I might never know

Good People

I wrote this song after listening to a lot Woody Guthrie, it was my attempt to honor the working man.

Good People

There's a lot good people out there out there

There's a lot good people on the line out there

Dear Lord can you help them find there way here

They don't want to be down but they found there way out

if you help in they may find there way back here

There's a lot good people out in the field

the factories making automobiles

dear lord can you help them find their way back home

They don't want to be greedy getting more than their worth

but the suits come in tell em what they deserve

They don't want to be extravagant just work and honest day

so they can afford the life for their honest pay

there's a lot of good people just trying to stay alive

do whatever they can find a way to survive

from the projects to the plains to and the mountain states

do whatever we can do whatever it takes

it's my family your family imprisoned and free

we're all in this together on the same damn team

the many have suffered long enough it's time we are done

they have to listen if we all stand together as one

There's a lot tired people out there out there

there's a lot of tired people on the line out there

Dear Lord give them strength to go all of the way

They offer us convenience as compensation for life

paycheck to paycheck ain't no way to get by

You make your silly contracts taking captive my time

I just want to see my childs first steps with my own eyes

There's a lot good people out there out there

There's a lot good people on the line out there

Dear Lord can you help them find there way here

Back Home

I wrote this song back 2000

Bring me back home

You better look before you leap

You better think before you speak

Cause your bridges will be burned

If you don’t start to think

You better learn when to sleep

You better count your blessings

Cause things don’t seem to stick

Around to long here

Take a deep breath now

And start to look around

Everyone seems stare you down

Because of what you’re near

(if you can send help,help

please don’t close your eyes

and walk away, I know you saw

cant you stay

I know they tell you

Live your own life

And leave others alone

But I cant find no one

Else to bring back to my home)

I tried to go back today

I thought I’d try a different way

But they cut down all the trees

And put a fence up in it’s place

I looked back today

At all my yesterdays

A couple of friends still remember

When we were young in those days

I need to take a deep breath

and Clear my head

after all that’s said

it’s time to go on now

(chorus)

I guess I question to much

When I should be having fun

But theres more at stake here

Then when I began

You could say that I’m walking blind

But I could say the same about you

Throwing stones wont help

To get us both through

Time, if I could would I buy some more

Time, if I could would I sell my soul

Time, is it worth the things I do

Time, is it important to me and you.
