"Seasons"

It happens,

overnight the seasons change.

And expected as the change may be,

it nonetheless surprises me,

to wake and find the summer's slipped away.

It happens,

overnight people change,

I tell you this because I love you,

and to love you is to live in fear.

The fear that I'll awake and find

the seasons and your feelings

changing.

"West Texas Waltz"

He was a honky tonk hero

She was the West Texas Rose

He had his hands clenched in hatred

She made the sweet flowers grow.

They met on a Saturday evening

At a place called the "Last Chance Saloon"

Her hand in his stopped the trembling

When he laughed as they danced

 cross the room.

The jukebox was playing a beautiful song

A tune called the "West Texas Waltz"

And it seemed like the whole world 

was dancing along

With the music controlling it all.

Away, come away from that window

Come lay down beside me awhile

You know I stepped out of the shadows

To walk in the Warmth of your Smile.

Nobody knows me like you do

You changed me and made me a man

I gave up the life of an outlaw

The day that you gave me your hand.

 He was a honky tonk hero

She was the West Texas Rose

They met on a Saturday evening

 She made the sweet flowers grow.
