Salt In My Coffee
© Larry Saklad
I'm not gonna pour salt in my coffee
not gonna sprinkle sugar on my steak
Yes, I'm gonna savor every one of these flavors
gonna embrace all that's on my plate
But with her I stumble down again
playing some clown
And I don't wanna don't wanna be down now
All of the shadows that were clouding my thinking
putting my attention on my weakened state
If love is letting go, I finally surrender
Now every moment is a fresh clean slate
But with her...
... no I don't wanna don't wanna be down now
don't wanna be down now
Free to be your witness
windblown on a mountain peak
letting our song take wing
All that I learned about the law of attraction
we're gonna find just what we seek
So tired of thinking "can't get no satisfaction"
and no more questions if the hill's too steep
But with her...
... don't wanna be, no I don't wanna don't wanna be
Don't wanna be down now, don't wanna be down now

2} Tethered
©2010 by Kim De Meo, Larry Saklad
Listenin to the voice inside that whispers in our ear
Tryin to decipher what is not crystal clear
Questioning the voice inside that whispers in our head
Asking for direction, can not assume my way instead
[chorus]
Tethered together here in the quagmire
lifting each other
Tethered together, what will inspire us to
lift each other out of this quicksand?
The asking of these questions: what is false and true
All of us are yearning for all those answers too
Extend your hand to me my friend, is all we have to do
The lessons we are learning here, I realize in you
chorus
I'd gladly shed your fears for you, if we only could
but both of us laughin with the voice inside, reminds us things are good
chorus 1.5x
...Tethered together, what will inspire us to keep
lifting each other out of this quicksand? Tethered

Baby, just in case you got the wrong impression
Looking for some sign that I’ll change my mind, just in case
I don’t have time, always the same question
Walking that line of love and hate, baby, just in case
What did you hide while I stood beside you
How was your soul denied, you’re lost deep inside, without a trace
I finally found my voice
all buried and dusty
You know you give me no choice
It’s time for letting go
Why did you lie as I lay down beside you
I looked in your eye, your lost so deep inside, without a trace
I finally…
…for letting go
Baby, just in case, you got the wrong impression
Looking for some sign that I might change my mind, just in case
Just in case, just in case
aw, baby

Kim De Meo - I Been Told
03:19

I been told I have a fragile spirit
by friends who have seen the worst of me
And I been told that love is just illusion
by lovers who’ve taken the best of me
And in the morning sun the world looks so promising and new
But by nightfall it always seems to change my point of view
‘Cause the night has brought me pleasure
And the night has brought me pain
It’s a camouflage for lovers down the lane
I’ve been told that life goes by so quickly
by someone who has lived and loved a few
And I been told to love like no tomorrow
by the forces that have drawn me to you
And in the morning sun the world looked so promising and new
But by nightfall it always seemed to change my point of view
‘Cause the night has brought me pleasure
And the night has brought me pain
Clear the camouflage for lovers down the lane
Lovers down the lane
lovers down the lane
I been told, I been told

Lull’bye

Star of perception drifting,
from candle light to music flight
and back to your warmth so close tonight
Ponder direction lifting
in spiral thought our lives are caught
en-wrapped in the web we both have sought
And sleep is beckoning
her peaceful angels sing
our Cupid’s arrows bring
sweet Valentine dreams…

Forgiveness

All I ever wanted was your happiness
gladly giving you my all we found this bliss
Always believed our dreams were possible
Then the in betweens and now am I able
Forgiveness, I know
Just follow your heart
Forgiveness, was this the gift,
the lesson from the start
This road we’re driving is a two way street
Leaving and arriving and on time we meet
Traveling together letting the love grow
We can make it better, can we come to know
Forgiveness…
Going round and round this rotary
getting all green lights and then I get to me
Looking in the mirror with high regard
Summon all my strength, why is it so hard
Forgiveness, I know
Just follow your heart
Forgiveness, was this the gift,
the lesson from the start
Surrender to your heart
Forgiveness
