Lyric Composition

In addition to photography, I have composed over 50 song lyrics in various styles.

I’ve watched the moon rise on the Colorado Rockies
Spent my time in the California sun
Took a raft on down the mighty Mississippi
Who knows what else I’ll do for fun

I got myself a pretty wife and baby
Had a country song go number one
I may be lucky, or maybe I’m just crazy
Who knows what else I’ll do for fun

COUNTRY

Christmas is for caring
Christmas is for sharing
We celebrate the day that the Christ child was born
Mothers and Fathers tell their children the story
Lovers and strangers rejoice in the glory…

CHRISTMAS

Letters that I used to write to you
Passion they’d ignite in you
The words that once excited you
Used to come from me

For you I would have killed or died
A love beyond the will of pride
The wall I had to build inside
When we went our separate ways…

From “Lost Love” © 1978

BALLAD

You said “It’s our last chance for love”
But you were looking for a one-night-stand
Prurient pleasures and company
A place to go when the dance is over and the music is gone
But that’s not love…

From “Love is Not a One-Night-Stand” © 1979

DISCO

ROCK

Bind my frustration and exorcise my mind
Look into my darkest place
Tell me what you find
Take away my memory, it’s never been too keen
Drive our love to higher heights
than man has ever seen…

BLUES

I got my own bar stool
On the corner at Jack’s
I’m gettin’ my mail there
‘Cause I just can’t go back
To my home…

FANTASY

She feasts on lies like wine and cheese
‘til cultures are no more
Then turns her face to hide away
and slips behind the door
And o’er a thousand years will fall
into the realm of lore
In wait for those who don’t suspect
she’ll return once more

From “Maiden of the Mist” © 2019

He took a turn at the roulette wheel
The gambler on the hill
The neon lights looked so unreal to
The gambler on the hill
Thirteen black, his number came up
He got his first taste of the win
The gambler knew that he’d be back,
Again and again and again…

STORYTELLING

I hear your heartbeat when a train rolls by
I feel you touch me when I don’t know why
I see your eyes in every rising sun
And I still see them when the day is done
I hear you whisper through the city noise
The wind is calling and it has your voice…
