Hey Old Man
by Lord R.e. Taylor
Hey old man
May I have a few minutes of your time
So much has happened in your life
Can you tell me your stories
I will promise you that I will listen

A Cold Respite
A Cold Respite
by Lord R.e. Taylor
Hotter than the sun
Too hot for humans or animals
It happens too often
Some say it’s global warming
Others say it’s a cycle
No one is really sure
But in the end it doesn’t matter
A cold beer and some A/C
And winter is here again

I Apologise
I Apologise
by Lord R.e. Taylor
I apologise for the human species
You gave us so much when we were young
Beautiful trees, flowers, and clean waters
Sadly we never thought about it
We destroyed everything you created
You should have never had to watch us
As I said I apologise to you
We never deserved you or your blessings

Not Cloudy Or Sunny
Not Cloudy Or Sunny
by Lord R.e. Taylor
It’s just one of those days
Not really cloudy but not sunny
But I will not let it bother me
My friend is here with me
Together we enjoy our lives
Even if that means getting really close
Looking through the window
And seeing what the universe gave us
On a day which is not cloudy or sunny

The Sound Of Bells
The Sound Of Bells
by Lord R.e. Taylor
Every hour
Every day of the week
I would patiently wait
For a hundred special sounds
Echoing through the trees
And around every building
But in the last few years
Somebody changed the world
All of the church bells have been silenced
The hours pass without notice
Since then, life has not been the same
And it probably will never be again

My Fear In Choosing
My Fear In Choosing
by Lord R.e. Taylor
Standing on the edge
A shaky precipice below me
Vast unexplored areas before me
Must I choose if I am safe
Is the ledge too small for me
Are the open lands too big for me
I may never know
Or maybe I already do
I may be just too afraid to admit it

Every breath you take
Every word you speak
Tells a new incredible story
