Alison's Second Song

You've got
Spunk and you've got class
And the biggest smile
But the smallest ass
And you wrote
The cutest song for me
So I repay the favor
Happily
I love
The way you look at me
With no make up on
Wearing my band's tee
And how you hate
Milk more than me
And how you eat cereal
Right before you sleep
This is too much fun
We've barely just begun
But I am done
Cause You are the one
We have
The same taste in everything
But you have onions
And you love to hear me sing
I'll cook every meal
If you clean every dish
I call you batty
And I remain your fish
You love
Fire and to paint
And you go to church
Just to smoke outside the gates
And how you think
You like the Beatles more than me
I was so afraid to say this
But it's meant to be
This is too much fun
We've barely just begun
But I am done
Cause You are the one
You want
To live in NYC
And I'll take you there
Before I'm 23
I want to know
Every quirky thing you do
And laugh at your dorkiness
Cause you laugh at mine too
I know
That this feels right to me
And I want to show
My world to you and be
Madly in love
Like a chick-flick story plot
We have each other
And that's all I want
This is too much fun
We've barely just begun
But I am done
Cause You are the one

Alison's First Song

I won't say too much
No clever remarks
No elaborate speeches
I've just one thing to say
Just six little words
I am in love with you

You are the reason I'm happy
I can't stop smiling because I know
You are the one
When we grow old, I'll go out dancing with you.

I'm crazy it's true,
I madly in love with you
And I know that you love me too.
When i finish this song
Put down my guitar
All I want is you inside my arms.

I think I'm undeserving,
You say thats stupid, so sue (?) me!
But this much is true..
That I'm right for you..
And you're so right for me too.
Because..

You are the reason I'm happy
I'm so damn lucky because I know
You are the one
When we are old
I'll still go dancing with you..
Dancing with yooooou.
Dancing with yooooou.

Lovesick

You're killing me
Because i've loved you since i was 17
and as years go by this cancer grows
our of my shoulder and through my sleeve it shows
A heart-shaped tumor

You're killing me
with every smile and every time you speak
all of me gets weak
but my lips stay strong and inside my cheeks i keep
what i'm dying to tell you

I think I love you

You're killing me
but i hope this feeling's not mine exclusively
are you dying too?
cause i know the cure but it's not easy to do
At least not for me

I know it's absurd
But the meaning's so much greater than the words
It's sound so stupid, but it's true
I just want to look at you and feel better than good
So say you love me...

Cause the best of me is all you'll get
You could never be something i'll ever regret
And if you take this chance on me
You'll realize that even in your dream
You never ever thought you could be
So (goddamn) happy

I think you love
And I love you

Bethymus

G
This is a slight variation
C
On the story of two best friends
G C
A tale been told a thousand times before
G
But it's all the quirky details
C
That make each one special
G C
And keeps this from being a bore

Am
She's a beautiful girl
D
With beautiful skin
Am
And a beautiful smile to match
D
The beauty within (her)

G C
And he's a sorry soul
G C
A sorry excuse of a disney character
G C
The life of the party that no one goes to
G C
But everyone says they did

Am D
And they love each other
Am D
But like bad dance parterners
Em Am
They make the right moves
C D
But at the wrong time

C
And he
G
He loves her
C
And She
G D/F# Em
Loves it when He says that to her
Am C B7 Em
And buddy he wants just to hear his name
C D7
When they ask her who do you love?

He won't wash his sweatshirts
He fears he'll wash out the stains
Of the tears she left on his shoulders
And in his arms she's cried out all her pains

And when he weeps she
feeds the seeds of
Love she planted in his
Heart

G C
And when the sun shines on his chest
G D
He feels them growing, growing

chorus

Em Am
And she's a miracle
B7 Em
A god sent saving grace
Em Am
Cause he sees the love of the universe
B7 Em
When he sees her face
Am C
And she's a miracle
F G
So to be here in this place
Em Am
To be so humbly honest
C D
To share this sacred space

chorus

He
I love him
And I
Love it when he sings his songs to me
And honey I know you want to hear three giant words
So baby darling I love you

Kristen (The Love Lost On A Girl)

I didn't write these. My friend Kristen Winslow did. I arranged them and put them to music. I love them.

A little girl
Shoes untied
Graceless
She sat in that plum tree
Writing down her dreams
Hoping tonight wouldn’t hurt
Bearing the burden

of a secret pain
Lost beneath a raging storm
Wanting so badly to fly away
Eyes that hide it all

She weeps for relief that
Never comes
Each bruise a reminder
Of the love lost on a girl

Cradled the world in her hands
Giving more of herself than she had
Broken by times that forgot

Her innocence taken by the night
She pastes a smile on
Trying so hard to hold onto the good

She weeps for relief that
Never comes
Each bruise a reminder
Of the love lost on a girl

Life breaks her faith
Pieces of childhood
Washed away
Unknown to the rest
She closes those beautiful eyes
And prays morning will bring
A calm silence

She weeps for relief that
Never comes
Each bruise a reminder
Of the love lost on a girl
Of the love lost on a girl

To lose herself in..

Targeted, Locked & Shot (Cupid's Casualty)

This love is a burden, A heavy parasite
whose saliva releases a toxic joy
Drunk, i stumble, my feet catching my fall
S laming my head into everything, thinking i'm ok

And if God has scripted this scene
Where our heroine is approached by a commoner
who attempts to swoon her with verbiage so verbose
But her hero's lines have yet been read.

I wonder if these feelings are beyond my control
That if being in love means I'm a victim
Targeted, locked, and shot. Cupid's casualty
Casually concealing my confession-my crush.

I will write sonnets, Compose and conduct
Symphonies of naked, choirs of authentic truth
Chanting my love songs and odes to your grace
Yet I fear you do not like my music.

I wonder if these feelings are beyond my control
That if being in love means I'm a victim
Targeted, locked, and shot. Cupid's casualty
Casually concealing my confession-my crush.

If I were to admit these admirations
compelled to abandon my asylum
I'd surely be awaiting annihilation
By the rejection in your eyes

Why does this feeling refuse to retire?
Conviction convinced, yet a coward
Shuddering at the thought of negation
For what if you do not love me?

I wonder if these feelings are beyond my control
That if being in love means I'm a victim
Targeted, locked, and shot. Cupid's casualty
Casually concealing my confession-my crush.

Ghost Town Well

The story goes / the boy was 9 years old
He tripped and fell / down in the ghost town well
He screamed he yelled / he cried and cried for help
He howled in pain / but no one came, no one came

He shouted Why?
Someone help me please.

The story goes / the boy was 9 years old
Did well in school / and always walked straight home
He loved a girl / a girl named sarah malone
He missed her so much / down in the well, all alone

He shouted Why?
Someone help me please.

I'm down in the ghost town well
Down in the well
Down in the ghost town well
Down in the well

I'm dying
Someone help me please.

The story goes / the girl turned 10 years old
It was her birthday / so the boy set out on his own
He knew she liked jewels / but there weren't any in town
But he knew there were some / in the well in old ghost town

He shouted Why?
Someone help me please.

I'm down in the ghost town well
Down in the well
Down in the ghost town well
Down in the well

He thought of love and he thought of sarah
He thought of love and he thought of sarah
He thought of love and he thought of sarah
And then yelled out his love

The story goes / the boy was 9 years old
He tripped and fell / down in the ghost town well
His love for sarah / boiled over and explode
It rang out a sound / heard for miles around

He shouted Why?
Someone help me please.

I'm down in the ghost town well
Down in the well
Down in the ghost town well
Down in the well

I'm down in the ghost town well
Down in the well
Down in the ghost town well
Down in the well

Calypso

calypso gods tempt me in dance
my tired eyes in liquor's romance
fail to see what's in front of me
your shadow meanders through the fire i see
and when the fire goes out
alone with you i'll be

your wine is dark and seductively warm
your body's fluid, amoebic in form
twisting and turning are the dreams in my head
reflecting the uncomfortable size of my lonely bed
and when you come tonight
it'll feel as if these words were never said

"don't leave me"
you're contradicting
"oh at last i have found a love
that will last for good"

on many a star i have cast this burden
to cure me of my addictions uncertain
why does my body ache for a substance i'll never consume
it's trail i refind in the scent of your perfume
and god it smells so good
and leads straight into your room

"don't leave me"
you're contradicting
"oh at last i have found a love
that will last for good"

The color of your eyes is lost
as my soul celebrates its pentacost
my world is on fire
and this holiday's adorned
for this new love is born

"don't leave me"
you're contradicting
"oh at last i have found a love
that will last for good"

"don't leave me"
Don't leave me?
Don't leave me,
I've got to leave you first.
