Coming About
Coming About
It's time to catch some wind
Well you know what its about
It's time to sail away
Reef the main
Won't you tie on board
Better dress worm
I could hear you father crying out
Son grab the helm we're gonna come about
Gonna sail away to a place where no one could find
I believe she's a straight away
Lord to the Isthmus tonight.
I could see those dolphins starboard
Swimming by the boat
Ya better get your camera ready
Cause Sandy your missing it you know
All these memories there ringing through my head
Their a place of peace when life gets a little dense
Where's my duffle i say just the other day
I got plenty of worries to fill it
Oh and just
Oh sail away no worry day
Come find your peace
Cast all your cares
Let the wind fill your sail
And come about when you need
Come about when you need
Life's a short sail always be prepared
In what you bring on board
And all that crazy stuff you got in you head
If you learn one thing you better pay her some respect
The sea the wind in your life long trek
Life seems to blow us through squalls
Giving waves to climb
Just keep her in the wind
Wait her out and you'll be fine
to chorus

Tennessee Sky
Well the concert was over
On the dirt road in Muffresboro
Couldn't wait to hear her sweet voice
Sing 'Good Night Louise, Goodnight'
Well us friends jammed into the wee hours
We talked about the blues
And this land we call "ours"
And we said, "someday soon we'll fly on"
We said, "someday, someday soon
We would fly, fly on"
Jessi if you can hear me
We need to make that trip
The Mississippi Delta
We'll start in Mephis
Well I can almost hear the juke joint now
Oh, that National guitar
And the sound of your sweet voice
Like that night under the stars
It's plain to see
I've got you on my mind
though we had so little time
That girl set my heart on fire
When Jessi sang
Oh the words she testified
A love for the blues
My guitar rang
On a hot summer night
What I wouldn't give for that night
We played for the fire flies
Lookin' in her eyes
Under a Tennessee sky
Rolling with the sounds
Man that Aretha she can sing
By the looks of that dark cloud
I believe it's gonna rain
95 degrees southern style
mother nature pour it on
Cause we're headed for our fathers
W.C. , Muddy Waters
chorus
So turn the page and write on
Right or wrong
Story tells the day
I'm gone… movin on

Blink Of An Eye
When your days are gettin' long
And your heart is blind
You don't know what's ahead
For the rest of your life
You try to shake it off
But its all in His time
In a blink of an eye
Spend all of your time
For your silver and gold
Times passion' on by
But your only getting older
You can't shake it off
Cause it's all in His time
In a blink of an eye
Go on and tell someone
Somethings in all of us
We got a longing to know
Some unknown God
Who holds real and the true
Takes the load and the strife
In a blink of an eye
Too many band-aid gods
But who can save and heal
Wont be this steel string guitar
But the Holy Spirit I feel
That will fill me up
Shake it off in time
In a blink of an eye
You want to know His will
Well He's spoken it to you
And all of the World
Through His Word He reveals
How to Shake it off
Wait on His time
In a blink of an eye

All IN Good Time
How can I face tomorrow
I can barely find today
I bet those words just rang
Through Michael's head
There's no one to blame
He was a best friend
He fought the good fight
Over & again & again
Oh but when my light of life grew dim
He'd always say brother
Keep aware, There's a gift my friend
Nobody knows the way you felt
The troubled days the hours the nights
On end
You'd cast your cares aside to help the average Joe
Asking "What am I doing, bangin on this guitar? "
Where do I start?
Which way do I go?
You'd just say "soak and feel the rhythms,
All around you inspiration"
Harbor good friends like they're gold
All in good time
You'll find
The gift that shines
In your life
You don't know where the time has gone
But these days keep moving on
Now i can see that the gifts are free
Just waiting on me
You and only you
Hold the tools to better take care
Of your heart head senses and soul
Just live to be there in the present
Enjoy your survival your experiences
No intimidation just a little imagination
Flows the music my friend
chorus
He'd say, " Just keep walking' on the road
Your straight line brother
Though you feel it move so fast
Trust that you'll be standing tall my brother
There's nothing here to fear my friend "

Sweet Moon
be nice publishing ©℗ 1998 dannyDONNELLY
I keep looking over my shoulder
As if your gonna look my way
Idealist some people say
I guess I got a little hope for me
A little hope in you
Don't ask me why I like apple pie
In the middle of the night
With a scoop of you on the side
When they all say I'm crazy
You say I'm just fine
Well I don't mind you
You blind artist
Just paint me the color you use
That shade when I'm with you
Some kind of blue
Where are you going sweet
I guess I just got lost in you
Seems like every time I get this close
This close just flies away
Or leaves to soon
Sweet moon
Miles Davis must have known you
In his past life
He even named a record after you
Words just couldn't say what he was feeling
So he picked up his trumpet and blew
I wonder if Stella knew
That the starlight was shinning down on her face
At just the right angle to inspire
Those were the days of the porch
Where the family would listen in
And you two would perspire
Well I don't mind you
You blind artist
Just paint me the color you use
That shade when I'm with you
Some kind of blue
Where are you going sweet
I guess I just got lost in you
Seems like every time I get this close
This close just flies away
Or leaves to soon
Sweet moon
Sometimes its better
Not to ask, but I do anyway
Seems like I'm always tripping over my heart
Just can't find my way
Forget my way
If it always leads to the gloom
Someday, I'll see you face to face
Sweet moon
to chorus

For The Good Of You And I
Gonna kick off my shoes
take a little time
to think about you girl
how you've been on my trouble mind
is this the reason that i live
Or am i just wasting time
These days I'm walking blind
But in time I'll know the truth
Of you and I
I like traveling down my road
not knowing where it leads
will i see you at the crossroads
where our eyes may choose to meet
well you cut me so deep
with understanding in your eyes
so hard to believe you know
what I'm about inside
I'm holding' on
And i know someday
Well finally get it right
but i feel the days are passing me by
it's time to let it go tonight
and say goodbye
for the good of you and i
"mother" she feels so good under my feet
my toes are in her dirt
well off the concrete
It's just like me and you
it's better way below
down below the surface
so much closer to the core
where do you draw the line?
how can you let go?
and still hold on to the sacred
the thing that matters most
but i know you are the same
girl you and i
by holding on to you
i shakle your soul and mine
can i let it go?
i must let you go!
I'm holding' on
And i know someday
Well finally get it right
but i feel the days are passing me by
it's time to let it go tonight
and say goodbye
for the good of you and i
can i say goodbye?
oh we must say goodbye
for the good of you and I

For You

For You
No compass on board
Floatin in a stormy sea
Clouds overhead can't see
Three feet in front of me
Well here I am no where is where I stand
I guess its good to me free
Cause its good to have company
When your lost of flying free
It's good to know that your looking for me
For you would run a million miles
For you would tell the truth
And I could never give up
Looking for you
You hold the real the truth
I'll be driving in my car
Rolling in some search to find
Anyone, something, someone, anything
To ease my troubled mind
Well I guess we're all the same
All got a longing… a need
For a little real …just a little peace … chorus
Traffic so slow
God it don't help much
Sucks the life out of me
And everyone I meet on the go
Well the wrinkles of my face
Turn to rivers that flow
But you can catch the tears
Before they fall to the floor
chorus

Hold On To You
This worlds a crazy kind of place
So much easier to take
When I see your sweet smiling face
I wanna hold on to you and never let go
When it all gets cloudy in my view
And I wonder if true love is something I can do
I see the miracles before me an you
They say hold on to you and never let go
Something stirs inside of me
When I walk next to you
Past the barricades
God let me know somewhere deep inside
How about the the truth in her eyes
So when you here a song a sweet kind of tune
With words that say things like I love you
If your thinking of me just know I'm thinking of you
Of holding on to you and never letting go
My love can only see you the Lord and I
It gets a little crazy but just one day at a time
I'm a little scared as I sit her and cry
May I hold on to you and never let go
I'm strumming hanging on six strings and a prayer
Need a little help keeping true love on the square
There you stand and I can't help but stare
I wanna hold on to you and never let go
It's the simple sweetness that you are
That drives me to lasso down the brightest of stars
To show the world from afar
That I'll hold on to you and never let go
