Soft Clean Everything Romance is out cool confidence is in but I'm too old to play their reindeer games I'm the last of the romantics I'm as awkward as sin writing songs to the melody of her name somewhere between the sunset and moon the door to my heart awaits the guard is sleepwalking, singing an off key tune anybody here can sneak through the gates and find a cozy place to be 'neath gentle waves of a melancholy sea oh love burns like a brand Cupid can't you understand all this can be soft clean everything A songwriter is an observer of life it's understood and I've been patient and I've been good I want a participation trophy and a hand to play I want a walk on role in the light of day most of all I want her like the tide needs the moon most of all I need her like a songwriter needs a tune his words sung true his heart coming through all this can be soft clean everything Say, sweet summer señorita you're a sight with your brown eyes of L.A. twilight whatever accident that caused you to stumble onto me say you'll stay the night and every night thereafter till the river of my life flows free arching wildly to a fro like a hazy crazy summer dream the July day I was born to long for brown eyes like sunset light destined to be each twisting turn in each song I'd write and all they wish to be soft clean everything It is everything I want for me it is everything that I need of thee I sing soft clean everything “All is fair in love and songwriting” - Norah Jones |

I've been patient and I've been good I want a walk on role in the light of day most of all I want her like the tide needs the moon most of all I need her like a songwriter needs a tune --------------------------- Oh man, you stir so many emotions and you bring me to tears. No doubt about it; you are so so good. Just hugs and all that... |
