Don't judge harshly
that which the soul
pours forth in its own discovery!

ME THREE
Me, myself and I were all feelin’ pretty good
You see, we three could finally agree
From now on, nothing but blue sky
For me, myself and I
Until I got in the way of myself
In mortal mental torture and toil
Leaving a cold and shaking lonely little ol’ me
Whaddayagottabe like that for I said to myself
I am that I am I declare myself to be
​

​
A TORCH
Fearful I have fallen carrying this torch for you
Burdened by its weight, blinded by its light
A fire that cannot warm nor help me through the night
Cold and lonely, cured by your love only
They say it’s wrong, that just ain’t right
Can’t fan the flames of feelings we can’t fight
We can hide our eyes so others don’t grow wise
And still feel the flames if we must lose our sight
Joined by melody, together in song our souls take flight
Lost in the rhythm found together in harmony
Tears from eyes and skies fall as surely as I write
Another song to quench the burn of torches that burn too bright.

MY KIND
​
Oh I wanna lay this down, am I right or wrong baby
Well I know things keep changing
Make a little trouble over me,
Where angels sin and are forgiven
Coz I’m breathless, sleepless
And I want you, that’s all I can do
And that’s alright now baby, I hunger for you
I’ve said so much that’s never crossed my lips
I’ve seen in your eyes all I want to say
Please forgive me darlin, this disguise
Coz we’ve been telling our hearts these lies
​
And I’m breathless, sleepless
And I want you, that’s all I can do
And that’s alright now baby, it’s all I can do
That’s alright now baby, it’s all up to you.
​
Now I’ve been playing it cool now
And I’ve been playing it down, baby
I’ve been playing it slow
Coz I know
You’re my kind
You’re my kind
That’s alright now baby, how I hunger for you
That’s alright now baby, it’s all I can do
hat’s alright, you’re my kind

NEXT TO YOU
Oh come on now you know what you’ve been missing
‘Cause you’re sitting way over there
And then again it seems you can’t come closer
I know you want to baby, you can’t get next to me.
Yeah your eyes tell me everything.
​
Ain’t that a shame, well, we share the blame
‘Cause I want to but I can’t get next to you.
Can’t stop over thinkin’ you’re nearly drivin’ me to drinkin’
My knees are weak and I just can’t speak but I need you.
Guess I finally found something I can’t do
Get next to you, can’t get next to you.
Guess I finally found something I can’t do, no baby
Get next to you, can’t get next to you.
​
It shouldn’t be this hard for words to cross my lips and make it to your heart
But there’s nothing to say, it’s just all in the way that I feel.
I’ve been screamin’ silently, while your eyes have been doin’ that talkin’ to me.
Yeah we know it’s wrong, but it’s comin’ on strong and I can’t breathe.
Guess I finally found something I can’t do.
Get next to you, can’t get next to you.
Guess I finally found something I can’t do, no baby
Get next to you, can’t get next to…
…your fire, too close together baby
Fire, can’t get, can’t get next to you.
And I lose myself, don’t want nobody else.
Too many flames drivin’ me insane
I’m on fire baby
And it’s all I can do not to make love to you and drive you crazy.
Guess I finally found what I can’t do, no baby.
Get next to you, can’t get next to you.
Guess I finally found what I can’t do,
Yeah, get next to you…
And I lose myself, don’t want nobody else.
