"Today Has Been OK"

Friends tell me it's spring
My window show the same
Without you here the seasons pass me by
I know you were not new
That loved like me and you
All the same I miss you
Today has been ok
Today has been ok

The preacher lost his son
He's known by all in town
He found him with another son of God
Feeding on the prayer
Nevermind what God said
But love had lost its cause
And I thought today had been ok
Today has been ok
Today has been ok

Wind has burned your skin
The lovely air so thin
The salty water's underneath your feet
No one's gone in vain
Here is where you'll stay
'Cause life has been insane but
Today has been ok
Today has been ok
Today has been ok
Today has been ok

What can i say

"What Can I Say"

Look to the clock on the wall
Hands hardly moving at all
I can't stand the state that I'm in
Sometimes it feels like the walls closing in

Oh, Lord, what can I say
I'm so sad since you went away
Time, time, ticking on me
Alone is the last place I wanted to be
Lord, what can I say

Try to burn my troubles away
Drown my sorrow the same way
Seems no matter how hard I try
Feels like there's something just missing inside

Oh, Lord, what can I say
I'm so sad since you went away
Time, time, ticking on me
Alone is the last place I wanted to be
Lord, what can I say
Oh, Lord, what can I say

How many rules can I break
How many lies can I make
How many roads must I turn
To find me a place where the bridge hasn't burned

Oh, Lord, what can I say
I'm so sad since you went away
Time, time, ticking on me
Alone is the last place I wanted to be
Lord, what can I say
Oh, Lord, what can I say
Bandi carlile!

Get set go...

Wait, wait for the dawn my dear
Wait till the sun gets here
And you will wait too long he will be gone
Wait, wait till the sun shines through
Wait till the sky is blue
And you will wait too long he will be gone, he will be gone

Ooh, he will be gone
Ooh, he will be gone

Wait, wait till the signs are right
Wait till the perfect time
And you will wait too long he will be gone, he will be gone

Ooh, he will be gone
Ooh, he will be gone

La la la la la...

Wait till you don't doubt no more
Wait till you know for sure
And you will wait too long he will be gone now......

There was once an old man....

There was once an old man...
A gentleman who helped break open my lock whe i lost my keys and he saw me working on my lock in the night with a hacksaw to cut open the sturdy and stubborn lock.
The same old man who told me u were gone a week and i watched ur house for you.
Everyday i would wake up to the sound of racking cough. I would sit at my table in the evening looking out my window trying to study when the smell of cigarette smoke would reach me and i would shut the windows tight....
The man that i got used to seeing when i normally turn to say ill be back to my lil girl sitting within five feet of her  smiling at me and watching me leave the house.... the same two pairs of eyes watching me walk in through the alley to my house....
The man who joined his daughter while she was trying to scream me down....
The man who jumped over a compound wall just to make sure i was ok and not freaked out abt finding what i tot was snake eggs....
There was once an old man....
An old man whose name i never knew....
There was once an old man....
A man i once knew....
Rest in peace thathaiyya.

She walked out quietly....
Walked out with no looking back....
She walked quietly so no one finds her...

Nothing can bring me peace....
Change my grief to grace...
