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

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
