Paying for Isolation
Even my tears, Even my tears, are tainted
Although my ties, Although my ties are true
Through all my fears, Through all my fears I fainted
And fell in love with you
Paying for isolation
Like a long cold winters blues
What a price for isolation
But they gave you all the clues
Your rough, wind blown face, rough, wind blown face had color
Your shoes, a tattering blue
Your eyes, they twickled out a story
Paying for solitude…
Chorus
I turned and gazed, I turned and gazed, at a new painted face
Looked at new shoes; they had such flattering hues…
Your eyes though fleeting, told a story
Paying for solitude…,
From the benches to the Bread Box
The shock so greatly stark
And the difference came too quickly; for my mind to disembark
He had no place, He had no place, to lay His head
He ran a race, He ran a race of Love
The shoes He walked in; were a patterning
Of a Home that was from Above…
He was walking in isolation
Like a long, cold winters blues
What a price for isolation
He gave you all the clues….

The Dusty Shoes Blues
I said my peace, baby
Feel so good
Did all I could, baby
Done all I should
I gots to roll on
I gots to roll on…
Shake the dust off my dancin shoes
And roll on…
You may have won the battle, baby
But you lost the war
There’s a missing piece in the puzzle, baby
My heart’s on the floor…
I gots to roll on
I gots to roll on…
Shake the dust off my dancin shoes
And roll on…
I got my release, baby
You threw me out the door
There’s no way back in, baby
There’s a damper in this rapport
I gots to roll on
I gots to roll on…
Shake the dust off my dancin shoes
And roll on…

Mountain Top
No Qualms
I see you now
You are very beautiful.
It was beyond my sight… Till I looked into your eyes…
And I deserve to be here…
To stand upon this mountain top
See the lines that carve my face
They’re perfect in every way…
Pretty petals falling down
All around my sweet, sweet soul
Like lashes to my cries
You are my one desire
I deserve to be here…
To stand upon this mountain top
See the lines that carve my face
They’re perfect in every way
On this rugged mountain climb
I am running in first gear
I need no other years
To soothe this aftertime…
I deserve to be here…
To stand upon this mountain top
See the lines that carve my face
They’re perfect in every way
