Chain Rainy Day Night of freezing rain Night of sparkling chains Night of deadly jewels crunching ‘neath your heels Beneath your heels Deep inside your ice-bound heart You know what it’s like to go too far To go too far To fall apart Michael Barron ©2011 All Rights Reserved

I Remember Everything 04:55
lyrics

I Remember Everything Slipped in a room Thousand plus volts Spark to the brain Memory jolts You thought "lms were great Hey I’m all alone And I’m self contained Just me me me, my old brain Smells and feels# Remembering A soul to see Not a soul to need Need no food# Just memory Screens so dead Light bulbs on All in our rooms All in the dark I remember everything Baseball game and a broken swing A leap from a building Second !oor Save my soul my souls to keep Bought it online Pretty damn cheap Remember it all Remember last week Remember the friends That used to speak (Yeah I remember it all, especially now) Memories are waking dreams And dreams are sleeping memories And dreams are slipping memories And dreams are steeped in memory And dreams are seeping memories Remember??? Here’s how it goes What will it mean what will it say When thoughts are sparked to life one day Movies will play, they’ll play in our head Like novels and banjos that play in our beds I’ll play with yours and you’ll play mine I’ll crawl in your past, you’ll laugh at mine I’ll say yours is better than mine The past is not past, we’ll laugh at time.

Ohio 04:51

Ohio I asked my love to go with me To take a drive just a little way And as we drove and drove and talked Thankful we didn’t have to walk We drove along till the road ran out We stopped the car And you began to shout Down beside where the waters flow By the banks of the Ohio I was "fine I was even happy Feeling fabulous and looking snappy Then you had to go dig up all that muck Stuff from long ago back in Ohio I had a hammer had a spade In the glove box I had a grenade I had a tire iron I had a gun I think I did pretty well using my tongue I think I did pretty well using my tongue Hey babe you know things change This is where I drive away There you stood where the waters flow By the banks of the Ohio There you stood where the waters flow By the banks of the Ohio Michael Barron ©2011 All Rights Reserved

Last Train 01:44

Last Train The lady across the aisle from me is wearing long gloves She spilled her coffee on my new blue jeans The lady across the aisle from me is looking so sad Not me, I’m glad I made it on the last train out The lines were long and it took forever But at last I’m in my seat All aboard with all my stuff On the last train out The crowd was crowded There was push and shoving And we barely made it on We barely made it but it’s alright now We’re on the last train out The lady across the aisle from me has got a cat box I think it’s empty or the cat’s away The cat’s away the mice do play I busy myself counting sheep The lady across the aisle from me is wearing long gloves We made it on the last train Michael Barron ©2011 All Rights Reserved
