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
