Simple Answers

Simple answers theoretically speaking
should turn up easily but I am so confused
I turn this over and over in my mind
All the implications all the time
But I can’t seem to put it all together
The picture I see could just be fantasy
Am I fooling myself?
Simple answers used to turn up easy
Used to be I knew what I was looking for
I turn you over and over in my hands
Look from every angle where do I stand?
But I can’t seem to put it all together
The picture I see could just be fantasy
Am I fooling myself?
Simple answers maybe one will never come
Always to be hidden or nothing to be found
But still I’ll look you over with every word
Try beneath the surface of what I heard
But I can’t seem to put it all together
The picture I see it must be fantasy
I’m fooling myself
I’m fooling myself
I'm fooling myself
Oh, what a fool

Let Yourself Cry

There are days when the sun won’t rise
and the darkness inside stays too long
Yes there are days when it’s all too hard
You’ve gone so far, you can’t go on
So let yourself cry
Let yourself cry
Let yourself cry
and then let go
Life can seem so cruel sometimes
You find someone and then they’re gone
There’s no way to take the ache away
You’ve got to go through to carry on
So let yourself cry
Let yourself cry
Let yourself cry
and then let go
And it’s the emptiness that’s left
That holds everything you need
It’s that final resting place
where love lives on and never leaves
So let yourself cry
Just let yourself cry
Let yourself cry
and then let go
and move on

Love, Please

Love, it is raining
clouds gaining, fade to grey
But if we name it, with the flame lit
We can see
Love, let's go dancing
We can live in the beat
Love, please go dancing with me
Love, we're together
we can weather any storm
Our circle was unbroken
the moment you were born
Love, let's go dancing
We can live in the beat
Love, please go dancing with me
Love, we're together
we can weather any storm
And though it is raining
with the flame lit we are warm
Love, let's go dancing
We can live in the beat
Love, please go dancing with me
Please go dancing with me
Please, dance with me
With me
With me

Ash McDaniel Tennessee
I started playing the guitar and writing songs at 15 and have been at it ever since, even though I've "traveled the breadth of extremities" (Joni Mitchell, Hejira) between then and now. Here I am, again.
