BLUE FLOWER
©2015 by Terry Winchell
Has anyone seen the sun it feels cold
I’m afraid of what lies ahead
What’s this world coming to when we can’t talk
or work things through
so much anger so much suffering
My heart it aches it loves it breaks
deep inside love grows a vine
The hope I carry is in each breath that I take
reaching for the unreachable
toward the sun toward the sun like a blue flower
Time slips away through humanities arms
like that moment in a deep long kiss
This is about us we all wrote this song
maybe someday we’ll trust ourselves
to open our eyes
My heart it aches it loves it breaks
deep inside love grows a vine
The hope I carry is in each breath that I take
reaching for the unreachable
toward the sun toward the sun like a blue flower
toward the sun like a blue flower
My heart it aches it loves it breaks
deep inside love grows a vine
The hope I carry is in each breath that I take
reaching for the unreachable
toward the sun toward the sun like a blue flower
toward the sun like a blue flower
toward the sun toward the sun like a blue flower
toward the sun like a blue flower
New Mexico

Shared memories kin spirits of the road
south west bound in a Fleetwood Brougham
Driving all night long in cruise control
your long hair flowing out the window
I remember waking from the back seat
seeing the deserts early morning dew
A silver blanket met the horizons edge
sunlit diamonds glistened on the sage
I will always think of you in New Mexico
It will be November Thanksgiving time
With the scent of pinion smoke in mountain air
I know how much you loved it there
I will feel you walking close by my side
hold your words and wisdom dear
On these dusty roads I may break and cry
but In my heart you will never die
I will feel you walking close by my side
hold your words and wisdom dear
On these dusty roads I may break and cry
but In my heart you will never die
You will always be a part of New Mexico
dancing underneath the rabbit moon
Walking through the amber glow of cotton woods
You lived for the blaze of red sunsets
I will always think of you In New Mexico
It will be November Thanksgiving time
with the scent of pinion smoke in mountain air
I know how much you loved it there
I know how much you loved it there
I know how much you loved it there
I know how much you loved it there
I know how much you loved it there
Wandering The Highway

I threw away all we had I threw away the time
What was I thinking when I left you behind
I can blame it on my past
or that I have a reckless side
I seem to have a habit of rocking the boat
on the smoothest ride
Now I'm wandering the highway
blinded by the headlights broken needing you
Too many days like this living like a fool
so much I risked
Will I live my days filled with regret
will your love be my safety net
Wouldn't it be a nice surprise if you took me back
So I guess I'll survive
now that I've climbed out from underneath the lies
only to realize how much I miss you
Now I'm wandering the highway
blinded by the headlights broken needing you
Too many days like this living like a fool
all I ever wanted was to be loved by you
Now I'm wandering the highway
blinded by the headlights broken needing you
Too many days like this living like a fool
so much I risked
Now I'm wandering the highway
blinded by the headlights broken needing you
Too many days like this living like a fool
all I ever wanted was to be loved by you
Loma Bonita

Bougainvillea flowers purple and white
two shades of pink are everywhere in sight
How they grow I just don’t know In
this dry earth In this dry earth
Thin dogs lay on the cool dirt ground
dreaming only things that dogs know how
Workers driving’ off in the back of a truck
a full days work for a couple of bucks
Ground shakes pounding surf there’s an
endlessness to the horizon and the earth
Mexico Loma Bonita
Mexico con la vista del mar y del sol
Mexico Loma Bonita
Mexico con la vista del mar y del sol
A man walks by in clean white clothes
in the shade of his cowboy hat
through the smokef a fire
on the side of the road
through the smoke of fire
on the side of the road
Smoke stings your eyes burns your throat
but it doesn’t bother him or dirty his coat
He’s on his way through the smoke and clouds
he’s on his way he goin to pray
Sleepy towns sleep donkey in the headlights
big wooden cross on the wall in the candlelight
Mexico Loma Bonita
Mexico con la vista del mar y del sol
Mexico Loma Bonita
Mexico con la vista del mar y del sol
Long black hair flips in the wind
a pink belt sparkles on a dusty road
Chica walks past the mango tree
a cat naps under a chair in the breeze
Black and yellow birds dip and dive
catchin’ bugs on a winding drive
Down to the beach where the air is cooler
gotta get down where the air is cooler
Sea birds glide palm trees sway
Moody skies turn shades of gray
Mexico Loma Bonita Mexico con la vista del mar y del sol
Mexico Loma Bonita Mexico con la vista del mar y del sol
Mexico Loma Bonita Mexico con la vista del mar y del sol
Mexico Loma Bonita Mexico con la vista del mar y del sol
Stuck In A Beautiful Place
©2015 by Terry Winchell
Lately life's punches are wearing kinda thin
were not getting any younger surviving each tail spin
We both love one another we're joined at the hip
we can count on that forever it’s a reinforced friendship
This isn't our cup of tea it doesn't fit quite right
this tryin to build a nest egg when your living so dam tight
Well the cards may seem against us we keep dreaming of an ace
Our love will keep us strong we're just stuck in a beautiful place
There once was a small town where I use to walk to school
Now it's all real estate and image you buy a house because its cool
If your not loaded up with money you’re a member of the staff
working long hours its not funny but you laugh
This place has its upside Its pretty and it feels safe
But at the end of a long hard day
Mr. Money steals your parking space
Well the cards may seem against us we keep dreaming of an ace
Our love will keep us strong we're just stuck in a beautiful place
Got no money to leave here and we can’t afford to stay
it’s a hard way to live each and every day
We’re just part of the food chain what Gandhi said was true
There’s enough for every ones need but not enough for every ones greed
So you put your pride aside barely make ends meet
try not to feel bitter while you’re staring at the top of your feet
Well the cards may seem against us we keep dreaming of an ace
Our love will keep us strong we're just stuck in a beautiful place
we're just stuck in a beautiful place
we're just stuck in a beautiful place
we're just stuck in a beautiful place
There Goes Time

There never seems to be enough time
I start out early I stay up late
Sometimes I catch up sometimes I don’t
Time always wins this human race
There goes time just under a mile
There goes time in lightspeed
There goes time in continuence
There goes time
My dog gives his whole heart he wants to please
he stays by my side he’s along for the ride
Someday he’’ll slow down and sleep longer days
showing his age face turning gray
There goes time in a life span
There goes time only love can last for ever
There goes time with my good friend
There goes time
The less you have the more you think about it
we learn to swim through that’s what we do
Regrets will fade when we don’t look back
I use to run into friends on the old Main street
havent seen a face that I know in a week
Those who grew up here can’t afford to stay
they say money’s the reason it’s harder lately
There goes tIme moving away
There goes time leaving someone behind
There goes time with lifes choices
There goes time changing things
There goes time in the now and then
There goes time never knowing where it’s going
or where it’s been There goes time
while I’m standing still
There goes time
Tiny Love

Heartbeat sweet light
blinked a night sky
the brightest star
Universe a ruin verse
diamonds mist the milky way as if to say
tiny love tiny love twinkling above
I see you tiny love
la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Sunshine summertime
sleepy afternoons honeysuckle blooms
Cloud burst earth spins
dancing colors make a rainbow sing
blue butterflies wing
tiny love tiny love the sound of love
I hear you tiny love
tiny love tiny love twinkling above tiny love
tiny love tiny love
the brightest star
la la la la la la la la la la la la La
la la la la la la la la la la la la la
