about

The urge to write lyrics had totally fallen by the wayside since my early days as a new wave punk rocker. Then suddenly it re-appeared in 2005 as if some things just needed to be said in plain English. Another thing I hadn't done since my teens was sing, but the songs just felt too personal to give to someone else. So there I go... look out!

lyrics

I wanna be that kind of man
The kind of man you can call home
Not just a pillar or a friend
More than a whisper on the phone

I wanna tell you 'bout a boy
who clung to all the things he'd learned
Till they came crashing to the ground
and now there's nothing left to burn

I'd like to take you to a church
That no one can claim as their own
For in that church there is no lord
Only the eyes of those we mourn

Around the bend there's a river
That bears the tears of the unborn
Down to a lake of fortitude
Where you could wash away your scorn


I wanna be that kind of man
The kind of man you can call home
Cradle your heart until it mends
And I'll be ready when you come
