New days begin when the morning breaks
And I fight with myself for the strength
To face the hours, ahead, that wait
Oh, another hopeless day
The tears, they come not once, but twice
Coffee in my cup, pack of Camel Lights
But this don’t solve those lonely nights
When silence danced in both your eyes.
So heaven can wait till I’m ready
Boys like me, well, they rock steady
Steady as it goes, easy there now
Nothing’s ever easy if time runs out
The saddest thing
I’ve ever seen
Is when you turned
You turned your blue eyes green
And the saddest thing
I’ll ever do
Is go on living
In love with you.
You’re the saddest thing
The saddest thing….
I’ve ever seen.
A shower, some coffee, and a quick snack
Can’t help but wonder if you’re coming back
To fill my heart with what it lacks.
Where’d we go off track?
I tried to show you that I cared
My love stops with you, yes I swear
You say you’re off, but off to where?
Leaving me like this isn’t fair.
In the courtyards of my mind
Well I see him there each night
His golden eyes, my bleeding pen
I’m right back at his door again…
You’re the saddest thing
I’ve ever seen
The saddest thing…

Chorus of "Saturday (Lights Out)" Posted!
Ain't this America?
Can't we just get down
With the boys who come around?
You know they wanna mess around?
Ain't this America?
Got the vodka and the juice
We'll be rocking it till two
Send the boys up to our room, room, room.

"Mr. Hardy's Love Songs" (Album Outtake)
Heaven can wait till when I’m ready
Boys like me, well, they rock steady
Steady as it goes, easy does it now
But it’s not easy if time runs out
So here I am, again my friend
Rewriting the novel’s climatic end
And tearing out pages you know that I
Cannot and will not be satisfied
In the courtyards of my mind
Well, I see him there each night
His golden eyes, my bleeding pen
I’m standing at his door again
A barefoot gypsy with no remorse
For riding on this winged horse…
Write me a song, Mr. Hardy
Write me a song so sweet
You may not have the melody
But play me anything.
Write me a song, Mr. Hardy
Like you did the other men
The ones that you won’t discuss
Goodnight and Amen.
Well shame it is a wrinkled dance
You can dance around the chance
That you might find your north star
I found mine in the back of his car
So naive I was and I gave him
The tastes of all my southern whim
And from the apple blossoms he drank in
The useless memories that bleed my skin.
Riding on myth and old charade
I dance a summer promenade
To a scene not far away
Where an old tin roof holds the stars in place
And silence dances to the cadence cries
Of all my sad goodbyes
Write them a song, Mr. Hardy
Write them songs so nice
Lay the cards out on the table
And roll those fucking dice
Write them a song, Mr. Hardy
You sentimental guy
Your intent to fall in love,
Well its dashed, and it has died
All along the orchard row….
There is a fruit which does not grow.
It smells of need
And tastes of want…
It must be the fruit that god forgot.
And I am fruit so blistered sore
Blistered since I was born.
Broken and weary a window waits
For the empty window….
Is my soul mate….
Write me a song, Mr. Hardy
Write me a song brand new
One I’ve never heard before
And I will cherish you…
Write me a song, Mr. Hardy
Cos I’m the one you need
I’ve come to take you away at last
Giddy up, horse, god speed….
Heaven can wait till when I’m done
Tilting my arrow to the sun
Mistakes are made and are forgotten
The smell of you, now it is rotten
That shirt in my closet so stained with sin
Is the shirt that our, our love died in...

The Talk of the Town Mini-Reveal
So, this evening, I had Lindsey over and gave her a little preview of some of the tracks to be included for the upcoming Talk of the Town disc, and I was quite happy with her reaction. Between the visit she and I shared and the phone call I had with Liz this evening, I was pleased with their feedback and their excitement over the songs.
Listening intently as I played and sang along to "Peep Me," "From My Place on the Floor," "Soda Pop," and "Bare Feet," both of them commented that the songs were quite catchy and sounded as if they belonged on the radio!
I think we have a hit here! Stay tuned for more developments as they come to pass. I'm finishing up the last of the songs now, and we will begin recording, mixing, and layering the vocals! Can't wait! Love always, Frankie.
