DEAD SILENCE
by Justin Osowiecki Tom Jensen
I'm just another face
Here on the train
We fade, no names are exchanged
On the train
So close, so distant
Here on the train
No words, no words spoken
On our train
Whistle blows
On and off they flow
Dead silence all around
Empty eyes so cold
Dead silence surrounds me
Same suitcases, same routine
Nothing seems to change
Different faces, different names
Still nothing changes
Dead silence....
It's just another day
Here on the train
NOW BOARDING
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen
Whenever I see a sign
That says "now boarding"
My heart begins to ache
And my body it starts hurting
The people have spoken and are speaking:
My oars are broken and my boat's leaking
Of course the rudder's bent
Fallen mast mis-shapen
I hold no more reservations
'Bout myself safely escaping
I lost the motor...it's a mile back under water
Yet the course I steered to here
It was completely chartered
I'm afraid I've never been good
Great or well-led in navigation
My nickname at a young age was
Captain Head Scratching Hesitation
(haha)
It's well-earned and much deserved
As I waited (waded) in the water
Yet never walked the shore
That's when I'd go sailing
inside my mind
As I'd crash into icebergs
every single time
Sure I break things...
But at least they're mine
The passengers safely bail
I'm the one laying it on the line
My name will never be Jonah...
Not afraid of being a big white whale
Thus here I sit in this boat all alone
With no one to share or tell this tale...
Whenever I see a sign
that says "now boarding"
My heart begins to ache
and my body it starts hurting
Woo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo ooh hoo hoo
LEAVING CALIFORNIA
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen
This man from California
Said son, I've got to warn ya
This man from California
Said son, I've got to warn ya
I've ridden fast cars
and even faster girls
I mined for diamonds
but only got fake pearls
I tried to make it on my own
But this is a crazy world
And there's an X on the map
Marking this as the place
To find either fame and fortune
Or else pain and disgrace
Sometimes even both
When everything's laid on the line
I could rent it or lease it
But it could never be mine
It'll never be all mine
He said he's leaving California
Leaving in the morning
He told me I should follow
He said son, "This is my only warning"
Whoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
And there's an X on the map
Marking this as the place
To find either fame and fortune
Or else pain and disgrace
Sometimes even both
When everything's laid on the line
I could rent it or lease it
But it could never be mine
It'll never be all mine...
He said he's leaving California
Leaving in the morning
He told me I should follow
He said son, "This is my only warning"
And I'm leaving California
And I'm leaving California
And I'm leaving California
Yes, I'm leaving California
BUTTERFLY
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen
You're my butterfly
In this cocoon you're encased
And I wish for nothing but to
release you from this maze
And from this place, yeah
With all my heart
I wish for you to become
what you were born to be someday
As I wait for you to fly away
I'd love to see that day
Because you're my butterfly
I long to watch you gently glide
See you go gracefully floating by
It would be no lie
that I'd be so mesmerized by
Your beauty and your grace
That would put such a smile
On my face, yeah
What else could I say?
I'd love to see that day
Because you're my butterfly
In this cocoon you're encased
And I wish for nothing
but to release you
from this maze
and from this place
NATURE OF MAN
by Justin Justice & Tom Jensen
You set her up for a fall
And she wasn't ready to be let down
You left her feeling so small
She felt like she got put down
For soon she sees
It was never meant to be
As so painfully
She finds out about your history
It's not a name
It's not a face
It's not a time
It's not a place
It's just the nature of man
She could never understand
It's not a game
and no one's to blame
But she feels the shame
and carries the weight
It's just the nature of man
She could never understand
It's just the primal urge
It's the way of the earth
A thrill can come in many forms
And you can get it just about anywhere
When you go looking for fun
You just might find that fun someone
if you really don't care
And soon she will see
It was never meant to be
As so painfully
She finds out
about your ways and means
It's not a name
It's not a face
It's not a time
It's not a place
It's just the nature of man
She could never understand
It's not a game
and no one's to blame
But she feels the shame
and carries the weight
It's just the nature of man
She could never understand
It's just the primal urge
It's the way of the earth
MELODY OF SORROW
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen
I just found an old poem
That I once wrote for you
I'll add it to the rest of the pile
Of dreams that never came true
To be without love is a lonely place
But it's not worth waking up
With someone in the morning
Just to see someone else's face
She said either she's too old
Or I'm too young
When I told her she was the one
So our song of love was never sung
And now this melody of sorrow I softly hum
Age is just a number
That should come second to your heart's hunger
She told me I was born too late
When she asked me about my age
I asked her about fate
Just snap your fingers
Say the word
And I'll give my life to you
You've seen my eyes and felt my love
You know these words I speak are true
I've walked a winding road
To find the light ahead
I've done all that I can do
I've offered you my heart
Poured my soul on the ground
The rest is up to you
And if you tell me no
I will write once again
As I will be happy
if you just be my friend
Captured in rhyme
your memory will live on
As you will be remembered
long after you're gone
With or without you
I will have to be strong
If it is not meant to be
This will just be a song
And now this melody of sorrow
I softly hum
COME FOR A RIDE
by Bryan Magsayo & Tom Jensen
Hey baby,
Come for a ride and I’ll take you home
But then I’ll have to leave you on your own
I can never be the one for you
Sometime, somewhere you’ll see it too
I tried to stay as long as I can
But you’ll find another to be your man
Someone to love you like I couldn’t do
One who brings candy and roses, too
Hey baby,
Come for a ride and I’ll take you home
But then I’ll have to leave you on your own
I can never be the one for you
I could never promise my love was true
I tried to stay as long as I can
But I cannot change the man I am
I won’t lead you on
It’s too weary for the heart
I should have seen it coming
Right from the start
Hey baby,
Come for a ride and I’ll take you home
But then I’ll have to leave you on your own
I can never be the one for you
Sometime, somewhere you’ll see it too
I tried to stay as long as I can
You’ll find another to be your man
Someone to love you like I couldn’t do
One who brings candy and roses, too
Hey baby,
Come for a ride and I’ll take you home
But then I’ll have to leave you on your own
I can never be the one for you
I could never promise my love was true
I tried to stay as long as I can
But I cannot change the man I am
I won’t lead you on
It’s too weary for the heart
I should have seen it coming
Right from the start
Hey baby,
Come for a ride and I’ll take you home
But then I’ll have to leave you all alone
WHERE I AM FROM
by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen
Twenty years ago...
A young mother gave birth
to a beautiful baby girl
Somewhere down east of San Juan
and west of Santo Domingo
All of the gold of the world is what she was worth
Once born it was said that
angels would follow her wherever she would go
Together they sailed up the North Atlantic Ocean
And far across the Sargasso Sea
As the ocean winds were blowing
They were blowing straight towards me
For a brand new start the sea did part
As the angels prayed for her return
While sitting in the dark awaiting a change of heart
Inside the church the candles still burned
When the angels tried to follow
They searched for but could not find her
At least that is how the story is told
On top of Pico Duarte the people still speak
Of their great sorrow
How great things once were
What they once had yet could not hold
Someone told me that if you listen by the ocean
You can hear the island cry
As if reminiscing a final parting
Without ever saying goodbye
Still others say that when the shores get windy
Down along the coast of the West Indies
The sky is calling for her to come home
It's been said that when the waves begin crashing
It is the island's way of asking
Why did this magical child ever leave her all alone?
Yet where I am from we often say
That your loss can be another's gain
Here it is sunny while somewhere there is rain
Let the winds cry
Let the ocean sigh
Let the angels fly
Let the island say goodbye
For they will never have this girl
Some may point to me and say I steal
Given time their pain will heal
Love knows no bounds...
Fate became sealed
I will always know just how I feel...
I wouldn't change it for the world
HOW CAN YOU
by Bryan Magsayo & Tom Jensen
How can you live with yourself?
Do you pretend to be someone else?
When you wake up in the morning
and you’re lying in bed
What do you feel, what goes on in your head?
Do you bury your conscience down below?
Please tell me because I need to know
How can you live with yourself?
You took my heart in your hands and you tore it in two
How can you sleep after the things that you do?
I loved you so much and did whatever you asked
When you told me you loved me you were wearing a mask
How can you live with yourself?
Do you pretend to be someone else?
Lying in bed your nightgown covered in lace
When you told me you were leaving I never saw your face
After all we been through you probably never even cried
And if you did your tears quickly dried
I’ll never know because your face you hide
With every I love you another lie
How can you live with yourself?
Do you pretend to be someone else?
RAINYDAY SUNSHINE
by Justin Justice & Tom Jensen
My life it would have been your shrine
If my ways had been refined
Before I looked into your big brown eyes
I never knew I was blind
‘Twas you who coulda seen me through
Over the only mountain that I’d yet to climb
I have only one path to take...
Try to walk a straight line this time
And it is you I'm still trying to find
My rainy day sunshine
Without you I may be just fine
But with you I'd be so much better
It’s you, my rainy day sunshine
Who’s my every day valentine
The only one who could ever have changed
Both the seasons and the weather
I hope I’ll be all right in time
I'm praying someday I'm gonna find
You again and you’ll fill all this emptiness inside
We’ll rebuild this broken mind of mine
So now…it’s you I am trying to find
My rainy day sunshine
Without you I may be just fine
But with you I'd be so much better
Yeah with you I'd be so much better
BREAKING HER HEART
by Justin Justice & Tom Jensen
Your heart breaks with every tender touch
You think to yourself
You don't love her all that much
The moon and the stars
She'd give them all to you
So with a tear in your eye you continue…
Skin so soft and light brown hair
She stares into your eyes without a single care
You have become her shelter from the rain
Yet while she's filled with love
you're filled with pain...
Reality screams into your ear
So you try to collect yourself
You try and calm your fears
How long can you play this game?
How much longer can you simply hold your shame?
Life is anything but a fairy tale
And before you pass sometimes you fail
They say it's better to have loved and to have lost
Then never have played so we pay the cost
Every passing day you sink in sand
Becomes even harder when she holds onto your hand
You can't be the one who shatters her dreams
So you make her believe everything is as it seems
It's never easy when the time has come
It's never easy but you had your fun
Do not feel sorry for what you've done
For after the rain soon comes the sun
Life is anything but a fairy tale
And before you pass sometimes you fail
They say it's better to have loved and to have lost
Then never have played so we pay the cost
