Well I love my baby, yes I do
I love my baby, yes I do
You know I do, you know that I do
Yes I love my little baby, oh baby I love you
I say stop, she says go I say yeah, she says no
You know I love my little baby, you know I love her so
Well I love my little baby
And I ain’t gonna ever let her go
She said it’s Black, I said it’s White
I like the sunshine but she likes the night
You know I love my little baby, don’t you know that I do
Well I love my little baby, baby don’t you know, I love you
Well I love my little baby, you know that I do
Love my little baby, yes I love you
Yes I do, yes I do
Well I love my little baby and I’m so in love with you

Break Away
03:30
|

1
Her mind and heart are broken
Secret silence, words unspoken
Fifteen
years
Defenseless, no protection
Spinning, lost without direction
Living in fear
Chorus
If only she could face the day
And make her getaway
Free herself from the binding chains
Break away
Verse 2
For awhile she saw the two of them as one
Never thought that she’d have to run
He’s to blame
His words and muscle breaking her down
Cowering down to the ground
So much shame
Chorus
If only she could face the day
And make her getaway
Free herself from the binding chains
Break away
Bridge
Prisoners try to break free
Before they lose their sanity
Their captors won’t let them go
They won’t let them go
Verse 3
Her family was the first to know
He was never going to let her go
They’re both gone
Such a big price to pay
For trying to make her getaway
And for being strong
Chorus
She decided to face the day
And tried to make her getaway
She freed herself from the binding chains
And broke away.

He said this place had changed
Didn’t recognize a thing
All that’s left are the words
Of a song he used to sing
50 years ago
In 1971
He ran out the doors of the DMV
Hell bent on having fun
That year, now long forgotten
It was a simpler time indeed
Stored in the back of his mind
These fading memories
He bagged groceries at the market
To earn a little pay
Found a high school sweetheart
They passed the time away
They lost something in the back seat
Of his Daddy’s Chevrolet
She smiled, pretending to hear
Three words, she hoped he’d say
That year, now long forgotten
It was a simpler time indeed
Stored in the back of his mind
These fading memories
The beach became his refuge
That’s where he liked to go
To flirt with Mary Jane
Watch an ocean picture show
Paradise on the Gold Coast
The hot South Florida Sun
He called Miami his home
back In 1971
That year, now long forgotten
It was a simpler time indeed
Stored in the back of his mind
These fading memories
That year, not all forgotten
It was a simpler time indeed
Stored in the back of his mind
These fading memories
That year, not all forgotten
But like a setting sun
Disappeared into the distance
Nineteen Seventy One
Nineteen Seventy One
Nineteen Seventy One

Calmer Seas
Scott Shorr
Copyright February 2018
Verse 1
Setting sail
For the ocean
Riding on
This choppy sea
Looking for
Calmer water
To sail this ship
To comfort me
.....
Verse 2
Feel the chill
In the air
The cold wind cuts
The sail’s frayed rope
Waiting on
Warmer weather
A glimpse of sunshine
A ray of hope
Chorus
There’s a storm
On the horizon
Blowing South
And Westerly
Changing course
A new direction
Searching for
Calmer seas
Verse 3
Turning back
The voyage is over
New reflection
Home at last
Mirrored water
Offers answers
To the questions
I always ask
Chorus
There’s a storm
On the horizon
Blowing South
And Westerly
Changing course
A new direction
Searching for
Calmer seas

Dreaming Again
03:33
|
|||
You’re on my mind
Wish you would call me up
And ask
If you could come on by
Act as if
Not a thing has changed
Maybe
Give it one more try
Find a way
And the words to say
You’d like to be
Here with me
Laugh again
And remember when
The stars were all we could see
Seasons change
As the clinging leaves
Hold on
As long as they can
Eventually
Bright colors fade
Perhaps it’s all
Part of the plan
I was dreaming again
Now I’m wide awake
And realize
She is gone
Hopeful thoughts
Like the clinging leaves
I struggle
And try to hold on

The Daily Blues

Copyright 2018
Verse 1
It’s 3 AM, I’m wide awake
A heavy load on my mind
Can’t sleep a wink, It’s bitter cold
A sweet dream, I can’t find
Maybe tomorrow, when the new day breaks
A rising sun will shine
Shed some light on these darkened skies
A gaze, now less sublime
Chorus
Headlines make
For heavy hearts
I’m dismayed by the daily news
Crushing spirit
Across the land
They trigger...
The daily blues
Verse 2
Rainy days and stormy nights
The forecast’s, not looking good
High pressure cells and cold fronts loom
If I could change it, I would
Warmer weather is bound to appear
Bring us all back home
I hope it’s soon, cause this cold wind
Is chilling to the bone
Chorus
Headlines make
For heavy hearts
I’m dismayed by the daily news
Crushing spirit
Across the land
They trigger...
The daily blues
Chorus
Headlines make
For heavy hearts
I’m dismayed by the daily news
Crushing spirit
Across the land
They trigger...
The daily blues

Silver Lining
03:39
|
|||
Losing hope faster than ever
Isolated inside her room
Searching for some kind of answer
To explain this doom and gloom
Now her Daughter calls every morning
From her walk, when she’s all alone
They’ve spoken more words in the past thirty days
Then in the twenty years since she left home
There’s always a Silver lining
Gray skies will turn Blue
That’s what her Mom always told her
You know that it has to be true
When it feels like the sky is falling
And you can’t wake from a scary dream
Haunted by things around you
Is it really as bad as it seems
Things lying beneath the surface
Covered up and so hard to find
Dig deep you’ll find buried treasure
That will soothe your weary mind
There’s always a Silver lining
Gray skies will turn Blue
That’s what her Mom always told her
You know that it has to be true
Trust me, things will get better
For now, the sun is hiding
Slip on your old overcoat
Inside, there’s a silver lining
There’s always a Silver lining
Gray skies will turn Blue
That’s what her Mom always told her
You know that it has to be true
There’s always a Silver lining
Gray skies will turn Blue
That’s what her Mom always told her
You know that it has to be true
You know that it has to be true
You know that it has to be true

Mayfly
02:39
|

Verse 1
The month of June
Came all too soon
Way too soon
For the Mayfly
An all too common
Circumstance
Not even a chance
To say goodbye
Verse 2
His life was full
Unbelievable
What could possibly
be missin
Guess he knew
What he had to do
To free himself from
His prison
Chorus
Mayflies live
On borrowed time
Disappear...
And fade away
They spread their wings
And fly so high
In the little time
That remains
Verse 3
Hid it well
But down inside
A tortured man
was hurtin
One final act
The curtain was drawn
As to why...
Remains uncertain
Verse 4
A life cut short
Bourdain is gone
He was so much like
The Mayfly
He flew so high
In his given time
So hard to say
Goodbye
Repeat Chorus
Mayflies live
On borrowed time
Disappear...
And fade away
They spread their wings
And fly so high
In the little time
That remains

All The Things I've Been
03:03
|
|||
I’ve been mean
I’ve been nice
I’ve been stubborn
I’ve taken advice
I’ve been rich
I’ve been poor
up and down
This rocky road before
I’ve been brave
I’ve been scared
I’ve been present
And unaware
I’ve been high
I’ve been low
I’ve held on
I’ve let go
Chorus
Take me as I am
An old reflective soul
I’ve, seen a change within
Take me as I am
Love me if you can
Cause now, I think you know...
All the things I’ve been
I’ve struck out
And hit a home run
I’ve hid in the dark
Basked in the sun
I’ve given a lot
I’ve taken my share
I’ve played by the rules
I’ve been unfair
I’ve been unhappy
I’ve had a ball
I’ve gambled a lot
Won and lost it all
I’ve been timid
I’ve been bold
I was young
But now I’m old
Chorus
Take me as I am
An old reflective soul
I’ve, seen a change within
Take me as I am
Love me if you can
Cause now, I think you know
All the things I’ve been
Instrumental
Chorus
Take me as I am
An old reflective soul
I’ve seen a change within
Take me as I am
Love me if you can
Cause now, I’m sure you know...
All the things I’ve been

Left Behind
03:12
|
|||
Ponders his life from a bucket seat
Driving a cab, to make ends meet
He’s been on a dreadful losing streak
Lost it all in a bitter divorce
Takes the blame, shows no remorse
He's picked up a habit, that was his choice
The harder you look, the less you find
That piece of you, left behind
Buried so deep in the back of your mind
That piece of you, left behind
His friends are gone he’s all alone
Biding his time on an old cell phone
Shrinking fast, down to skin and bones
Like a top, spinning out of control
Falling fast, into a big Black hole
There’s nothing left, he’s lost his soul
The harder you look, the less you find
That piece of you, left behind
Buried so deep in the back of your mind
That piece of you, left behind
The harder you look, the less you find
That piece of you, left behind
Buried so deep in the back of your mind
That piece of you, left behindLeft Behind
The harder you look, the less you find
That piece of you, left behind
Buried so deep in the back of your mind
That piece of you, left behind
