Worth Giving- in progress lyric before music

1 when so many things are worth giving up for    multiplied and thick, we're getting sick, I'm letting go.    carfully placed one at a time, each day is all we need 2 when so many things are worth leaving for     red light fallen star, who knows where we are, I'm letting go. 3 It's you i need.   but your worth giving 4 Yet the song I sing, when i breath,    dying for air, scratching the sky, I'm letting go. 5 though meant for you, short breath is my best,    i could use what you have right now, I'm letting go. 6 (but) it's you i need.     but your worth seeing 7 insatiably honest but cold in your hand   your so honest it hurts thanks for being gentle 8 just leave me the way you found me    better the way you found me 9 but all i need is you.     Am I'm worth leaving 10 remember how true we were    Back when we started, you meant different for me,   11 when no one mattered i mattered the most    Yet here I am, do I mean th

Diamond to North Wind

F Am C G It was the best of life, All that was meant to be Diamonds for the world to see, She's stuck in a cabin near the woods Such a lady like that, a friend, With such long hair, Hangin down to her knees, without a care, She... Stood with bare feet on the stone, The poor moon hangs above, Against the hill it waits, The boy anticipates, Such a boy to think beyond her grave, Gentle cry brave is stripped away, Search for her, Sharp as a knife, Weeping ash, Don't fight for no good, Where ever you find yourself, A door in the yard, Searching for yourself, Dreaming not to be, Waiting with the window light, Guiding every step, Glimmer with shapes alone, Like the wind when it's waking up.

Elijah

C/G  F Take your things and I'll take mine And don't you worry who gets left behind Subtle embrace and slight salute Pistol holding and ready to shoot C/G F Cause were moving on up, with all the changes, Cause were moving on up, to different place, Gmaj7 no5   Fmaj7 no5  You can tell everybody, Am F Am  Dm But please, please, please, Don't tell Elijah. Take my heart and take me in, I could believe you would make amends, Take these ashes and let them fly, With death impeding don't you cry, Cause were moving on up, with all the changes, Cause were moving on up, to different place, Gmaj7  no5   Fmaj7  no5  You can tell everybody, Am F Am  Dm But please, please, please, Don't tell Elijah.

The Healer & The queen

Am G F C     G C F C/E Dm C C G Am F     Dm F G A woman loved by all, Enthralled by gentlemen, She waved her royal hand, The nation mommy, Finally she settled on one, A King above the rest, And begot a fragile child, heir to the throne, When leaves would fall, The boy's bones would break and bend Days in bed waiting for death, deeply worried his mommy, The child found a rescue, A healer with some words,  Although a proper heart, But eyes set on mommy, Far away from home, On the frontline troops at his side,  The King commanding all, but hardly mommy, The saintly man would wash her hands, Heals her wounds and tour the bars,  He'd boast out loud, and make a toast to mommy, Scummed to the sauce, with fire in her chest,  T'was admiration that lead to her folly,  When the bread maker walked in, Shocked at the scene he cried softly When the word got out, It was far to late for mommy, This would be the end of mommy Least expected, Th

Left overs

The farthest I've ever been, yet the closest I am to you,  It took so much to believe It took so much to perceive/grieve/conceive. You fade through the woods rising morning water on the ground every strong step you take every strong moment is profound. The journey is not forsaken Consecrated Wet with out clothes on- left overs Won't you come with white spring bleeding out oh oh oh. You're breathing life in my being, singing and we're singing, on the delta without fleeing (no no no)- get wet with our clothes on. swimming on the dry land. Honey settle with me,  i know you won't leave me, not that you have to go. A work in progress, all rights reserved  (C) 2012 John Canales

From the Earliest of who you are

Intro x4 verse From the Earliest of who you are, to t he length of time till now-  Our heart have grow to one,  Driving to the northern lights, Rolling hills can fade away and fire fights fireflies -  As sure as I ever was I heading home to you, A miss as good as mile, a panic station set in quick- where I'm going I hope I'd not return. Box fall may behind me, there's no time to stop- this good man is true I've my eyes set on you. oh oh,  oh oh, verse Remembering  all those things , about the climb to fame,  and state will remain the same, If it never made sense then we can't get along, you have to sing your own song. If it never made sense then we can't get along, you have to sing your own song. Luckily for me, we met up in my dreams, that's drives me forward when I wake. oh oh,  oh oh, oh oh,  oh oh, Morning and rain, morning and rain, I'm almost there. Morning and rain, morning and rain, I'm almost there. Morning and r
