Safe With Eileen

Digging and digging your hands get so dirty
They're practically part of the ground
Blossoms and bushes and berries all growing
Your garden's the best one around
Storms and cold wind, they make everything wilty but
You nurse it all back to green
So the flowers are safe with Eileen
Yes the flowers are safe with Eileen
Counting and counting your hands move so quickly
Like birds flying at lightning speed
Single check, double check, triple check everything's good
Before signing the deed
The crooks and the thieves try their tricks and their cunning
To steal, why are they all so mean?
But the money is safe with Eileen
Yes the money is safe with Eileen
Singing and singing your voice rises high above
Everyone else's in church
Trumpets, pianos, guitars all ring loud for you
Rarely do you have to search
When the keys and the strings they all stopped and went dead
One more tune you would say, pretty please
So the music is safe with Eileen
Yes the music is safe with Eileen
Running and running your hair flipping wildly
Like it wants to leave your head
You'll be late and haven't got your cappuccino but
I am still sleeping in bed
Work starts at 8 and you've got to get going but
You care much more about me
So the morning is safe with Eileen
Yes the morning is safe with Eileen
Kissing and hugging your mouth keeps on smiling
Though sometimes all we do is tease
Christmas and birthdays and trips to get ice cream
So nice because you love to please
We've had our storms and got through them together 'cause
You nursed us all back to green
So the family is safe with Eileen
Yes the family is safe with Eileen

Colors

Green, I'm surrounded by green
The forest, the sky, and my envy
All of it green
And blue, I appreciate blue
It's rare moons and old Miles, your star eyes
How I love blue
[Chorus]
And I know
The colors mix, they blend, they become
Life's prism, twisting, turning, and changing
Red, I'm conflicted by red
It's roses and hearts but it's anger
So complex is red
[Chorus]
[trumpet solo]
Gold, how deceptive is gold
It's sunlight and greed and Atlantis
But what use is gold?

Who You Are

Taught me to sing high
Whenever I was feeling low
Look up at the night sky
And I'd follow you wherever you would go
[Chorus]
Looking out of your Buick window and
Listening to Fire and Rain with you
You said too many wise words
So I remember just a few
Like "what you do, not what you say, that's who you are"
At night when I would get so scared
You sang me lullabies
And when life, it just wasn't fair
You'd tell me jokes laughing 'til I would cry
[Chorus]
You bought your Harley when I was 5
And mom was worried half to death
The helmet fell right over my eyes
But I felt safe on the back as we left
[Chorus]
Now I'm older, I've moved away
Life is hard but not too bad
I come home when I wanna play
And drink whiskey and sing with my dad
Looking out of my Kia window and
Listening to tunes old and new
I'm not as wise but when I have kids
I'll just smile and think of you
I'll say "what you do, not what you say, that's who you are"
Yes what you do, that's who you are

Lullaby
03:47
|

|
I wrote this melody because
You always liked the soft, sad ones
I don't think that ever really changed
Please listen dear, do not shut your ears
I've learned some things over the years
You cry because you don't yet understand
There's a door in your bedroom, it leads to the roof
So small that you'd miss it if you weren't looking
But you're busy staring out the window
One day you will know that's not the real thing
Sandbox, football, telling scary tales
Life is great when friendship never fails
But you're starting to feel just a bit strange
No two quite the same, celebrate, celebrate
Love what is different, that's what makes us great
But all the king's horses and all the king's men
Well they're all trying to stop you from being your best
There will be those who'll say "I love you"
And you will say that you love them too
Until you see someone who stops your heart
Yes she'll stop it, and she'll break it
Without ever knowing she did
A few years and some months later
You'll find someone so much greater
The door will fly right off of the hinge
Growing up is strange, it's good and it's bad
You'll pay in tears for each grin that you've had
But don't worry your pretty red head
Just lay down in your bed
And sleep knowing that someday you will be alright

Heaven

(Ooo x a million)
Oh when you fall
And there's no one to catch you
Just know I'll be there
Quick as I can speed
And everyone knows
No longer a secret
I'll hold your hand
You're safe here with me
(ooo x 500,000)
I've been a fool
For most of my life now
Tried to be everyone's pal
And lost who I was
But you brought me back
Back to where I belong
I'm up through the clouds
My heaven's your arms
We like to wear jeans and t-shirts
We have friends, they all are teachers
(ooo (ooo))
And I've seen skylights, headlights, moonlights
Hit my eyes
But none have been as bright
None have been as bright
As you
