My lyrics or perhaps,poem: EVERY WHICH WAY

EVERY WHICH WAY

WRITTEN BY: J.R HILTON

JUNE 2016

EVERYTHING GOOD IS LEAVING OR ALREADY GONE 

OUR POLITICIANS WILL TELL YOU THEY SEE NOTHING WRONG 

IT'S HARD TO SEE PAST ALL THAT MONEY 

THEY'VE ROBBED FROM YOU AND I

THEIR GAZE IS FIXED ON YOU

LOOKING TO EXTORT SOME MORE

HEAR THE SOUNDS GREED KNOWS NO BOUNDS

NO ONE SUBSCRIBES TO A STITCH IN TIME SAVES NINE

DANGER SOON FINDS THOSE THAT RELINQUISH THEIR POWER

CONTROL SLIPS AWAY HOUR BY HOUR

YOU KEEP LIVING IN YOUR IMAGINARY WORLD

BELIEVING ALL YOUR BEST INTERESTS ARE IN GOOD HANDS

GIVING INTO ALL OF THEIR DEMANDS

PRETTY SOON YOU DON'T HAVE A RIGHT

ME I PREFER TO DISAPPEAR OUT OF SIGHT

MAKE MY STAND AND FIGHT ONLY IF I MUST

PREP THAT LOAD TO GET AWAY

YOU MAY NEED IT SOMEDAY SOON

ARE YOU REALLY GONNA LIE BACK AND TAKE IT

BE A MAN AND BREAK IT ONCE FOR ALL

TIRED OF HEARING ABOUT ALL THIS GREED

WHEN SOME FOLKS CAN BARELY AFFORD TO EAT

TRY TO GET YOU EVERY WHICH WAY

TAKE THIS PILL, DRINK THIS WATER 

HERE'S YOUR VACCINATION

AND JUST FOR YOUR INFORMATION

WE'LL BE DEDUCTING THIS FROM YOUR PAY

WE'VE GOT TO GET AWAY FROM THIS

SURELY COMMON SENSE WILL SAVE US FROM THIS HELL

ARE YOU WAITING FOR A BELL, TO WAKE YOU

SPUR YOU ON AND MAKE YOU 

EACH ONE OF US A VICTIM IN OUR TIME

MAKE THEM PAY FOR THEIR CRIMES

TURN THE TIDE

WRITTEN BY: J.R HILTON

JUNE 2016

YOU ALWAYS FIND THE BEAUTY IN THE DAY

EVEN IF IT'S HIDDEN AWAY

YOU DON'T LET YOUR EMOTIONS CARRY YOU AWAY

TO A PLACE YOU KNOW YOU'D RATHER NOT BE

FLIGHTS OF FANCY THAT NEVER LEFT THE GROUND

SUMMERS THAT DISAPPEAR WITHOUT A SOUND

PLANS PUT ON HOLD THAT COULDN'T CARRY ON

YOU SAID DON'T WORRY IT WON'T TAKE LONG

WE GET TO LOOK FORWARD TO AGAIN

SUCH ARE THE MESSAGES YOU SEND

OUR LOVES LASTED THROUGH IT ALL

WE STUMBLED BUT WE NEVER FELL

TEARS AND LAUGHTER WE SHARED

TOOK OUR CHANCES WHEN WE DARED

I CAN'T GO WRONG WITH YOU BY MY SIDE

MAYBE TOGETHER WE CAN TURN THE TIDE

I CAN'T ALWAYS PROTECT YOU

FROM LIFE'S LITTLE KNOCKS 

BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN I DON'T TRY 

I NEVER LIKE TO SEE TEARS IN YOUR EYES

ALL YOU MEAN TO ME, AND I WANT TO BE, ALL YOU NEED

IN THE DAWN OF EACH NEW DAY

ALL I NEED IN MY WORLD IS YOU

AND A PLACE TO REST MY HEAD

THINGS AREN'T SO BAD

AFTER ALL IS DONE AND SAID

YOU RESCUE ME WHEN I DESPAIR

ALWAYS FIND YOU RIGHT THERE TO QUESTION WHY

YOU PICK ME UP AND MAKE ME SMILE

HOLD ME FOR A LITTLE WHILE

UNTIL YOU THINK THAT I'M OKAY

ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU SAY TO ME

NEVER AN UNKIND WORD

YOU BELONG AT MY SIDE 

TOGETHER WE CAN TURN THE TIDE

I CAN'T GO WRONG STOOD HERE WITH YOU

WHAT ELSE WOULD I DO

OFF OUT

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON

 JUNE 2016

SUN ON MY FACE, AND WIND IN MY HAIR

SMILE ON MY FACE NOW BECAUSE I'M GOING SOMEWHERE

HEADED OUT FOR THE THE WEEKEND 

THE MOUNTAINS ARE GETTING CLOSER

I CAN FEEL MY HEART LIFT AND MY SPIRIT SOAR

I CAN SENSE FREEDOM WAITING TO BE HAD

AND I'M GLAD I GET TO SHARE IT WITH YOU

THE LOVE THAT NEVER HAD THE TIME

NOW FREEDOMS YOURS AND MINE

THE HAPPINESS WE FIND WILL CARRY US THROUGH

WE TAKE OUR PLACE BENEATH THE TREES

NESTLED IN THE MOUNTAINS BY A LITTLE STREAM

MESMERIZED BY WHAT I'VE ALREADY SEEN

INTOXICATED BY ALL THIS GREEN

THE SUNSET BURNS BRIGHT

STRANGLES THE LIGHT

GIVING WAY TO MOON AND STARS

THE FLICKER OF THE FIRELIGHT

AND EVERYTHING IS GOOD HERE TONIGHT

FIND A WAY, FIND THE TIME, TO GET AWAY

DON'T YOU KNOW THAT YOU'VE GOT TO PLAY

ONLY HAVE SO MUCH TIME

LAY IT ON THE LINE

FIND THE TIME, FIND A WAY

DON'T LET GO OF THESE DAYS

THEY WILL NEVER PASS YOUR WAY AGAIN

LIVE IN YOUR HEART, LOVE IN YOUR HEAD

TURN IT ON, TURN IT AROUND INSTEAD

RENEW YOUR CONNECTION

MAKE THAT SELECTION

TAKE IT IN LET IT OUT

YOU WERE NEVER IN DOUBT

WE'RE BETTER OFF OUT

NOT WHO I WAS BEFORE

WRITTEN BY: J.R HILTON

JUNE 2016

GOT DOWN OFF MY HIGH HORSE

THOUGHT I'D TRY A DIFFERENT APPROACH

A DIFFERENT COURSE

COULDN'T BE ANY MORE DOWN TO EARTH

IT QUITE SUITS ME FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH

I KNOW I'M A LITTLE DIFFERENT

BUT NOT SO DIFFERENT AT ALL

I'M AN ARTIST AND A WRITER IF I'M ANYTHING AT ALL

CHORUS

I'M NOT WHO I WAS BEFORE

I THINK I'VE GROWN I'M MUCH MORE

EVERYTHING CHANGES NEVER STOPS

THINGS YOU LIKE GO RIGHT ON BY

YOU REACH OUT YOU'VE GOT TO TRY

ROLL IN, ROLL OUT WITH THE TIDE

IT'S ALL THAT YOU CAN DO

JUST HOLD ON BEST YOU CAN

AS I MAKE MY MERRY WAY

LIVING HAND TO MOUTH LIVING DAY TO DAY

DON'T YOU SEE THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG 

THOUGHT I'D CATCH A BREAK BUT IT'S TAKING SO LONG

WALKING IN THE RAIN

LOOKING IN VAIN

FOR A LITTLE SANITY

I'M NOT WHO I WAS BEFORE

AND WHO I AM NOW, SOMETIMES I'M NOT SURE

BUT EACH DAY I ENDURE

BRINGS ME CLOSER TO THE THINGS I DREAM

BUT I'VE NEVER SEEN

THE RISE AND FALL OF THE WAY THINGS SHOULD GO AT ALL

REMINDS ME OF THE WAVES OF THE SEA

PUSHING AND PULLING ME

HOLDING ME BACK THEN SETTING ME FREE

CASTING ME ADRIFT, THAT'S WHERE I'LL BE

UNDERNEATH A BILLION STARS

WAITING ON A NEW DAY

IN WHICH TO IMMERSE MYSELF

I'M NOT WHO I WAS

My Lyrics to: Yours In Kind

YOURS IN KIND

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON

JUNE 2016

NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE AT ALL

NO ONE ANSWERS THE CALL

YOU'RE KNOCKING  BUT NOBODIES THERE

YOU LOOK THROUGH THE WINDOW AND STARE

THEN YOU TURN AND WALK AWAY

LOOK BEHIND YOU ONE MORE TIME

BUT YOU DON'T SEE HER SHES GONE 

TOOK ALL THE HOPES YOU HAD

LEFT YOU FEELING ALL ALONE

NOTHING LEFT TO DO HERE NOW

BUT GO BACK HOME

YOUR HEARTS FEELING HEAVY

YOU CAN'T GET HER OUT OF YOUR MIND

YOU THINK THAT SHE MIGHT BE YOURS IN KIND

YOU CAN'T ESCAPE FROM THE FEELINGS THAT PERSIST

YOU CAN'T HELP TO THINK

THAT THERE'S SOMETHING YOU MISSED

A NAGGING FEELING LIKE SOMETHINGS NOT THERE

SHES GONE, SHE WAS RARE

TO SOMEONE ELSE NOT ME

I'M SURE THAT'S THE WAY YOU FEEL

WHAT YOU THOUGHT WAS LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT

BUT IT WAS ONLY YOU

AND IT ALWAYS TAKES TWO

TO LIGHT UP THE WIRES, YOU'RE DANCING THROUGH

UNTIL THE ROOM IS CHARGED

YOU'LL FEEL HER LET GO

AS SHE LEANS CLOSER INTO YOU

HER EYES COME INTO VIEW

YOU CAN'T LOOK AWAY

AND YOU DON'T WANT TO ANYWAY

ALL OURS NOW THAT'S HOW IT IS

NO SUCH THING AS HERS AND HIS

STROLLING THROUGH MY MIND

WRITTEN BY: JEFFREY ROBERT HILTON JUNE 2016

KICKING AROUND THE DIRT ON THE GROUND

STIRRING UP OLD GHOSTS AND DUST

I REMEMBER MY FATHER SAYING

I DON'T REALLY WANT YOU TO GO

BUT GO IF YOU MUST

DETERMINED AS HIM I WAS GONE

NERVOUS ENERGY RARING TO GO

WITH THE WIND IN MY WILD HAIR

AND MY THUMB HELD HIGH 

IT'S FINALLY MY TURN TO FLY

WALKING THROUGH STREETS THAT I DON'T KNOW

IS THIS THE PLACE I'M GOING

IS THIS WHERE I SHOULD STOP AND EARN MY WAY

IS THIS THE PLACE I WANT TO STAY

WEARY FROM THE ROAD

LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO REST MY HEAD

OR MAYBE I SHOULD KEEP GOING INSTEAD 

WALKING THROUGH MY THOUGHTS

STROLLING THROUGH MY MIND

BEAUTY ISN'T HARD TO FIND

IT'S ALL AROUND YOU, INSIDE YOU, IN WAITING

IN WIDE OPEN SPACES AND TIGHT LITTLE CANYONS

I FOUND MYSELF, ONE TRIP AT A TIME

COULDN'T LEAVE IT BEHIND

NOW IT'S SOMETHING I SEE WHEN I CAN

AND I'M LONG OVERDUE ONCE AGAIN

SOMETIMES CIRCUMSTANCE DRIVES A WEDGE

BETWEEN ME AND THE THINGS I LOVE

THE THINGS I NEED TO FEED MY SOUL

THE THINGS THAT GET UP AND GO

TAKE ME IN THEIR WAKE

SO I CAN FIND MYSELF AGAIN

FIND THE SUMMER

(THAT NEVER ENDS)  

 

WRITTEN BY: J.R HILTON JUNE 2016

I SEE A PICTURE OF SOMETHING OR SOMEWHERE

I WANT TO GO, INSTEAD OF THE PLACES I'VE BEEN

SOMETHING NEW TO DREAM

PLANTING THE SEEDS, I'VE NEVER SEEN, IN MY HEAD

WOULD YOU GO THERE WITH ME

IT'S BEST IF YOU'RE AT MY SIDE 

BECAUSE YOU AND I HAVE GOT THIS THING

WHAT IT TAKES WE BRING

CHORUS

WE'RE COMING THROUGH ON A SOUTHEAST WIND

 HEAR THE WIND CHIMES PLAY AGAIN 

AS THE WAVES CARESS THE SAND

HEY WE STILL CAN DREAM

AND YOU STILL MEAN EVERYTHING

FIND THE SUMMER THAT NEVER ENDS

AND I WILL FOLLOW, AND STOP RIGHT THERE

AND STAY RIGHT THERE, FOR THE REST OF TIME

IF ONLY I HAD THAT, IT WAS YOURS AND MINE

PLANTING THE SEEDS I'VE NEVER SEEN IN MY HEAD

AND TOSSING AWAY THE ONES THAT ARE DEAD

I WAKE UP AND STILL HEAR THE CALL OF THE SEA

I STILL HEAR THE WHISTLES AND BELLS

I CAN SEE THE SHINGLE BEACHES COVERED IN SHELLS 

THE SALTY KISS OF THE SEA, NEVER FAR AWAY

MAN IT'S JUST A DIFFERENT WORLD

ONE THAT TURNS ME TOWARDS MY FINEST HOURS

YOU AND I MAY HAVE TO GO

I THINK I KNOW YOU WOULD

WE'D ALREADY BE THERE IF WE COULD

AWAKEN

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON, JUNE 2016

FACED WITH CHOICES

IT'S ALWAYS EASIER TO TAKE THE LOW ROAD

BUT THAT DOESN'T MAKE FOR ANY KIND OF MAN

THAT'S GOING SOMEWHERE WITH SOMEONE

HELP ME TO HELP MYSELF TO THE RIGHT CHOICES

SORT IT OUT FROM A HUNDRED VOICES

SOMETIMES I GET SNIPPY AND CONDESCENDING 

BUT MINUTES LATER I REALIZE THAT I

DIDN'T MEAN A WORD I SAID

DID THAT REALLY COME OUT OF MY HEAD

I KNOW IF NOT FOR YOU

MY HEART WOULD SINK INTO DESPAIR

WHEN I AWAKEN, I WANT YOU TO ALWAYS BE THERE

IF ANYONE CAN SOFTEN UP THIS OLD HEART IT'S YOU

I REMEMBER ALL THE THINGS THAT WE'VE ALREADY BEEN THROUGH

I ONLY HOPE THAT TIME WILL KEEP BRINGING US CLOSER TOGETHER

KEEP KEEPING ME IN CHECK

WHEN I BEGIN TO WANDER OFF THE PATH

OUR LOVE CAN MAKE IT WORK 

WHEN I SEE YOU SMILING

I KNOW I'M MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION

NEARER TO YOUR BEAUTIFUL HEART

I BEGIN TO START TO ASK MYSELF IF IT'S ME

FINALLY BECOMING THAT BUTTERFLY

IT TOOK SOME DOING, IT TOOK SOME TIME

COUNT MY LUCKY STARS I WISHED ON AS THEY FELL

SOMETIMES IT'S HARD TO TELL

SHADES OF GREY

WRITTEN BY: J.R HILTON  JUNE 2016

WHY DO YOU DESPAIR 

IS THERE NO ONE THERE

DID YOU GET OFF TOO SOON

NOT DRAW ENOUGH INSPIRATION FROM THE MOON

HAVE YOU COME TOO FAR

DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU ARE

DO YOU STARE OFF INTO SPACE

DO YOU DISAPPEAR WITHOUT A TRACE

YOU'RE HERE BUT YOU'RE NOT HERE

FALSELY HAVE NO FEAR

DID LOVE FIND YOU THEN RUN AWAY

STAIN YOUR HEART WITH SHADES OF GREY

WHERE ARE YOU GOING

DID YOU MAKE A PLAN TO FIND SOMEWHERE

MILES AWAY FROM HERE

IS IT EVEN CLOSE TO CLEAR

YOU NEED SOMEONE THERE

IF YOU FEEL LOST ON YOUR OWN

STANDING ON THE EDGE

FORWARD YOU STEP OR BACK YOU FALL

BUT AT THE END OF IT ALL

DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOU BELONG

DID YOU KNOW ALL ALONG

THOSE DAYS HAVE COME AND GONE

NOW IT WON'T BE LONG

YOU'RE SWEPT AWAY

IN SOMEONES TOMORROW

BUT NOT TODAY

EVERY NOTE A SYMPHONY

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON   JUNE 2016

I COULD STAY HERE TO WATCH THE SUNSET

AS THE BLUE OF THE SKY

RUNS OUT LIKE TEARS

THE RED ORANGE GLOW

GIVING WAY TO THE STARS

FILLING UP THE SKY

ANOTHER DAY IS PASSING BY

SITTING BY THE FIRE

 MY THOUGHTS ARE LOST IN THE FLAMES

DRIFTING SKYWARD WITH THE SMOKE

THE SILENCE OF THE EVENING

SOOTHES ME LIKE A SONG

ONE I LOVE TO HEAR

ONE THAT PLAYS SO LOUD AND CLEAR

EVERY NOTE A SYMPHONY

PLAYING FOR THE TREES

PLAYING FOR YOU AND ME

THE STARS GATHER LIKE POOLS OF PEARLS  

IN A BLACK BLUE SKY

THE MORE YOU'RE HERE

THE HARDER IT IS TO SAY GOODBYE

THANK YOU FOR THIS NIGHT AGAIN

THIS IS MEANT TO SHARE WITH A FRIEND

CHARGED BY THE MOONLIGHT

SHINING THROUGH THE TREES

ALL THE THINGS WE WERE MEANT TO SEE 

PIECES OF MY HEART LEFT AT EACH ONE

NEVER TO FORGET THEIR BEAUTY

THE WATER AND THE SAND

THAT I HELD IN MY HAND

IT KEEPS ME GOING

ALL THAT WISHING AND HOPING

FOR A PIECE OF THIS

I'M TAKING MY BEST SHOT

I HOPE THAT I DON'T MISS

A FALLING STAR STREAKS ACROSS THE SKY

AND I PONDER ON WISHES

PICK ONE THAT I THINK WILL FLY

AND THE NIGHT CARRIES ON AS I FEED THE FIRE

THE WARM GLOW SHINES ON YOUR SMILE

AND SETTLES IN YOUR HEART

THAT'S HOW THESE THINGS GET TO START

THE HARDER IT IS TO SAY GOODBYE

STILL YOU'VE GOT TO TRY

TO DRAW YOURSELF AWAY

BACK TO MUNDANE ORDINARY DAYS
