Erica Lightly

Erica Lightly, she gently says no, as she cuts across the dance floor in her dress that's cut low.
She moves politely from bo and to bo. She looks at them slightly, so they wouldn't know.
And all of the boys watch as she passes by. It makes all their girlfriends go green in the eye.
But Erica Lightly, she sighs a deep sigh. She's seen all her options and none caught her eye.

She's looking for a man.
Some one to understand.
She's all dressed up with nowhere to be, and no one to take her hand. ]

The Angel in My Mind

I looked, and I found an angel in my life.
She spoke with a sound that calmed my aching mind.
And Oh, how she stole my heart, and cut my burdens loose.
She sewed up the bleeding shards of what was left by you.

I know she is real, the angel in my mind.

I looked, and I found an angel for my wife.
She walked down the isle- a wedding gown all white.
And Oh, how it broke my heart, to see her standing there.
For I did not play the part. My finger remains bare.

I know she is real, the angel in my mind.
I know she is real, the angel in my mind.

Humpty committed suicide to stick it to the man

Broken and bruised
Looking for use
Falling apart
This wandering heart

and Everybody here,
has Been watching for years
But no one expects
To clean up the mess

Please can I not be me today
God can we not do this today

I'm not alone
Though nobody's here
Safe in my home
Safe with my fears

When everybody's gone
The demons will come
Tear down this wreck
and Clean up this mess

Please can I not be me today
God can we not do this today

Build me a wall, so Humpty can fall
Build me a wall, so Humpty can fall

Build me a wall, so Humpty can fall
Please can I not be me today

I wrote a song in May

I've tried to force the feeling,
but the feelings didn't come
Still you mean the world to me,
and I wish you were the one

But you couldn't know, you couldn't see,
how hard I tried to make it you and me
you didn't know

and I know how much I've hurt you
I can never take it back
I never thought that I'd desert
You deserve much more than that

and I didn't know, about what I'd see
the stranger looking through the mirror at me
some one I don't know

So I don't try to give you any reasons,
'cause nothing seems to measure up
and I'd only disappoint you with possible excuses I'd make up

I didn't know how much I'd miss you
and all the questions left behind
Have you found what you've been searching for
what I just can't seem to find

I had it in my hands- let it slip away
Now it's lost three thousand miles away
I had it in my hands

I don't try to give you any reasons
'cause nothing's gonna make it up
and you could only disappoint me, with all of my excuses you'd bring up
