					<title>October Skies</title>
					<link>http://mikemizmusic.com/lyrics.cfm?feature=2802772&amp;postid=1364529</link>
					<description>&amp;nbsp; When the sunlight in the morning
glistens off the snow
and the faces loose their sparkle
like the friends I used to know
when the chilly winds of winter
surround your every thought
and the daylight is so blinding
and my mind is all distraught 
and the last thing that your left to face
before you say goodbye
is the mirror like reflection
from her bright green emerald eyes

I can feel the tires sliding
as I&apos;m shifting though these lanes
these emotions race inside me
that I almost can&apos;t contain
man, it&apos;s always such a drag
how the summer races by
now all I see is rockets
and the cool October Skies

And the graveyards all are haunted
like the basement in her house
and my heart strings all are taunted
by the buttons on her blouse
and my heart burns like a fire
of the piles of leaves in fall
cause I burn right up to nothing 
till on my knees I crawl

When the chalk hits the blackboard
is when you know the summers&apos; gone
and when the wind changes direction
thin ice coats the pond
I used to think of walking on it
just to see if it would hold
but I&apos;ve been on thin ice my whole life
and the water&apos;s just too cold
I can see the distant rubble 
from the pin holes in my eyes
like reflections off the water
of stormy summer skies

Dorothy always told me
let me see you smile
and if I had my way
She would have stayed around for a while
but she lie around all summer
with tear drops in her eyes
cause all she felt was autumn
and the cool October skies

And the graveyards all are haunted
like the basement in her house
and my heart strings all are taunted
by the buttons on her blouse
and my heart burns like a fire
of the piles of leaves in fall
cause I burn right up to nothing 
till on my knees I crawl

on back to you babe...every time

The autumn comes so subtle 
like the roses in the spring
and you wake one day and realize
it&apos;s such a beautiful thing

So keep on shooting for the stars
or you&apos;ll end up in the mines
and you&apos;ll never see the daylight
or the emeralds in her eyes
so keep on shooting for the stars
or you&apos;ll end up in the mines
and you&apos;ll never see the daylight
or the cool October Skies</description>

					<title>Pen Y Bryn Road</title>
					<link>http://mikemizmusic.com/lyrics.cfm?feature=2802772&amp;postid=1364521</link>
					<description>&amp;nbsp;There was nothing left to say
so I packed it all away
closed the door on yesterday
and left a town I knew so well
I got tired of her streets 
and I got tired of her hands
I got tired of being tired
of being washed up on her sands
and the valley was calling me home..
so I went wandering, up on Pen Y Bryn Road

There was something in the air
as I was coming down the stairs
and the pavement smelled like memories
of days when I was young
all the geese were flying south
but the wheels were headed north
through the valleys and ravines
of the highway leading forth
that castle I long to call home..
and you can find it, up on Pen Y Bryn Road

Suddenly I feel cold as a stone
like somebody&apos;s watching me
I&apos;m not alone
I can feel this river flow
from my heart to my hands
it took years to find an answer
now I finally understand.
What it means, or so it seems
I hear it echo through the visions of my dreams
what it means, or so it seems
I feel it call me like a cadence on the breeze
what it means, or so it seems
is I&apos;m gonna wake up inside my own dreams
cause I&apos;m sick of turning dials
pushing buttons all the time
when I can just plug in the juke box
that&amp;rsquo;s been playing in my mind

Well there&apos;s cobwebs in the corner
but there&apos;s music in the air
and on a sunny summer Sunday
you can hear it everywhere
and like the curtains in the kitchen
I&apos;ve been blowing with the breeze
this life just seems to fit me
like a worn out pair of jeans
and when my work is done, there&apos;s one place I will go
and you can find me, up on Pen Y Bryn Road</description>

					<title>New Morning Sky</title>
					<link>http://mikemizmusic.com/lyrics.cfm?feature=2802772&amp;postid=1364520</link>
					<description>&amp;nbsp;I&apos;ve been so down 
I&apos;ve been so blue
I spent the last week
just thinking about you
honey when will you call?
I can&apos;t say when
but I just can&apos;t wait
to see you again

There will come a day
when that new morning sky
will shine through my window
and into your eyes

I&apos;ve been up all night
cause I don&apos;t sleep no more
I can shut out the lights
but what good is it for?
I&apos;m asleep in my dreams
awake in my bed
the minutes they pass
like hours instead

There will come a day
when that new morning sky
will shine through my window
and into your eyes

I get so nervous when you look up at me
I&apos;m speechless at best
but one day I&apos;m gonna watch you fall asleep
like the sun sets in the west&amp;hellip;

It&apos;s been so long
since I looked in your eyes
and I still cannot breath
between hello and goodbye
but the tide keeps on turning
like the stars in the sky
and I still cannot help 
but to ask myself why

There will come a day
when that new morning sky
will shine through my window
and into your eyes</description>

					<title>Dopesick Blues</title>
					<link>http://mikemizmusic.com/lyrics.cfm?feature=2802772&amp;postid=1364519</link>
					<description>&amp;nbsp;It&apos;s 5am and the sun will be rising soon
there ain&apos;t a damn thing I can do
its cold outside and I feel like I&apos;m ready for the spring
or just to hear the morning sing

I woke up late this morning with my sheets all drenched in sweat
just trying to get used to living endlessly in debt
I spent the last few years digging my own grave
and suffering like a slave

Ooh baby, won&apos;t you take me down nice and easy
somebody told me once, you&apos;ll never leave me
ooh, baby won&apos;t you take me down nice and slow
I got nowhere else to go

I got these scars on my arms from sticking that needle in
and I still don&apos;t see no reason why
I think it&apos;s about that time to check it in again
and you can easily see why

Ooh baby, won&apos;t you take me down nice and easy
somebody told me once, you&apos;ll never leave me
ooh, baby won&apos;t you take me down nice and slow
I got nowhere else to go

All that fire inside just got smeared into the ground
cause all my dreams brushed past me like a stranger in a crowd
and them voices scream so loud..

I get this feeling that all the fun&apos;s gone too
but here I am still running on back to you
I&apos;m so tired of having these dope sick blues
how do I untie this noose?

Ooh baby, won&apos;t you take me down nice and easy
somebody told me once, you&apos;ll never leave me
ooh, baby won&apos;t you take me down nice and slow
I got nowhere else to go</description>

					<title>Wink</title>
					<link>http://mikemizmusic.com/lyrics.cfm?feature=2802772&amp;postid=1364518</link>
					<description>&amp;nbsp;Too many times I am lonely
too may days I am down
too many nights I am scared all the time
cause I still want you around

Too many times I feel sorrow
too many days I feel shame
too many nights I&apos;m in fear all the time
cause I still want you around

There&amp;rsquo;s a story in your eyes
and I know what it&apos;s about
and there&apos;s a child&apos;s voice inside
that I never have to doubt
and never once did I blink
I got the hint before the wink

Too many tears I have now shed
to wonder where they all come from
too many nights I slept lying by the phone
cause I still want you around

Too many years have past now
to wonder how I got this old
too many nights I woke lying on the ground
cause I still want you around

There&amp;rsquo;s a story in your eyes
and I know what it&apos;s about
and there&apos;s a child&apos;s voice inside
that I never have to doubt
and never once did I blink
I got the hint before the wink

I never meant to jump the gun
I&apos;ll light the fuse and we can run
our separate ways
but thorns and pickers thick and thin
are made to pierce your smooth pale skin, 
today..

Too many lonely nights have past now
to still feel sorry for myself
too many nights I woke lying on the ground
cause I still want you around

There&apos;s still that story in your eyes
but I just don&apos;t care how it ends
I feel compelled to turn the page
but I can&apos;t seem to comprehend 
cause I&apos;m still waiting for the wink
with open eyes I never blink</description>

					<title>Was a Time</title>
					<link>http://mikemizmusic.com/lyrics.cfm?feature=2802772&amp;postid=1364517</link>
					<description>&amp;nbsp;Was a time, was a time on that long lonesome journey
when the clouds filled up my eyes
was a day, was a day on that long stretch of highway
when the tears filled up the sky
was a night, was a night when I woke up so lonely
and a man knocked on my door
he said &amp;quot;I&apos;m telling you son, you don&apos;t have to run,
and you never have to feel this anymore&amp;quot;

Now I&apos;m lying in this bed 
and I&apos;m kicking with no meds
and I&apos;m feeling like I&apos;d rather die
and when I look at your face
in the picture by the vase
I just curl up in a ball and cry

Well it&apos;s my first night here 
and I just wish if it was clear
if we&apos;re still going to share this light
and I just can&apos;t sleep 
cause I love you so deep
so I&apos;ll crawl in my skin all night
was a time, was a time when I kissed your cheek
and then stole all the money in your purse
was a night, was a night as I watched you sleep
I stole your car, can you tell me which is worse?

If you don&apos;t like it when I leave
wipe the teardrops with your sleeve
and pick your head up off the pillow where you lay
was a time, was a time when I couldn&amp;rsquo;t stand the weather
so I stayed in the house all day

So they let me out and then
I messed up again 
and you walked right out my door
now I&apos;m wondering where you are
and every headlight is your car
and I know you don&apos;t want me anymore
so now that you are gone
all I have is this song
just to keep me from killing myself
and as I look at the past
how it all went by so fast
I&apos;m just wishing I was somebody else

Now the cool autumn days
have turned into cold
and all the pretty leaves
just get stomped into the road
was a time, was time when I couldn&apos;t live without you
was a time when I couldn&amp;rsquo;t stay here
was a time, was a time, when I couldn&apos;t live without you
but tonight I just can&apos;t stay here</description>

					<title>NYC Skyline</title>
					<link>http://mikemizmusic.com/lyrics.cfm?feature=2802772&amp;postid=1364516</link>
					<description>&amp;nbsp;If you feel so empty from within
and it looks like night is falling again
three hours later your still there
and if there ain&apos;t no more to see then you can stare
and if it gets so quiet that it makes you scared
and if nothing ever seems to be fair
it&apos;s just your imagination playing tricks with reality
and the things you never imagined you now see on your TV
you try to sit up straight but you can&apos;t begin
cause the devastation ain&apos;t set in

That NYC line will never be the same
I heard Manhattan&apos;s just drowning in the rain
that NYC line will never be the same
two silver birds ain&apos;t it a shame

So turn me onto them B-sides
I never heard this tune before
in the land of the free ride
there&apos;s got to be something more
and if it gets so quiet that it makes you scared
and if nothing ever seems to be fair
it&apos;s just your imagination playing tricks with reality
and the things you never imagined you now see on your TV
you try to sit up straight but you can&apos;t begin
cause the devastation ain&apos;t set in

That NYC line will never be the same
I heard Manhattan&apos;s just drowning in the rain
that NYC line will never be the same
two silver birds ain&apos;t it a shame</description>
					<content:encoded><![CDATA[&nbsp;If you feel so empty from within<br />
and it looks like night is falling again<br />
three hours later your still there<br />
and if there ain't no more to see then you can stare<br />
and if it gets so quiet that it makes you scared<br />
and if nothing ever seems to be fair<br />
it's just your imagination playing tricks with reality<br />
and the things you never imagined you now see on your TV<br />
you try to sit up straight but you can't begin<br />
cause the devastation ain't set in<br />
<br />
That NYC line will never be the same<br />
I heard Manhattan's just drowning in the rain<br />
that NYC line will never be the same<br />
two silver birds ain't it a shame<br />
<br />
So turn me onto them B-sides<br />
I never heard this tune before<br />
in the land of the free ride<br />
there's got to be something more<br />
and if it gets so quiet that it makes you scared<br />
and if nothing ever seems to be fair<br />
it's just your imagination playing tricks with reality<br />
and the things you never imagined you now see on your TV<br />
you try to sit up straight but you can't begin<br />
cause the devastation ain't set in<br />
<br />
That NYC line will never be the same<br />
I heard Manhattan's just drowning in the rain<br />
that NYC line will never be the same<br />
two silver birds ain't it a shame]]></content:encoded>

					<description>&amp;nbsp;She often wonders, alone in her room
she often listens, to that same sad tune
she often lays down, on the linen alone
she often wonders, will he ever come home?

I don&apos;t know what it&apos;s like in Oklahoma
and I don&apos;t know how the sun shines on your skin
but you held me so tight, it kept me warm half the night
and now I don&apos;t know if I&apos;ll see you again

All this driving, is driving me mad
all this crying, for the life that we had
all this running, is running me down
all this longing, to turn it around

I don&apos;t know what it&apos;s like in Oklahoma
and I don&apos;t know how the sun shines on your skin
but you help me so tight, it kept me warm half the night
and now I don&apos;t know if I&apos;ll see you again

Somewhere, you may be somebody
but heaven knows you ain&apos;t nobody around here
you&apos;ve been looking for a rainbow 
but your afraid to face the storm
I hear the thunder
now the light I&apos;m waiting for

I often wonder, alone in my room
I often listen, to that same sad tune
I often lay down, on the linen alone
I often wonder, will she ever come home?</description>

					<title>3am</title>

					<description>&amp;nbsp;I hear you smile though the phone
speaking softly in that tone you use
to milk the life from every living thing 
I guess you know it&apos;s wrong but you don&apos;t care
and nothing on but underwear
and dimly lit streets at 3am on Saturday

We open doors but shut our minds
we&apos;re always peaking through the blinds
in fear that somebody is watching
I&apos;m like a leaf caught in your rake
can&apos;t tell what&apos;s real and what is fake
but you keep dragging me around

Now I&apos;m at ease cause your right there
your gazing bullets through the air
that kill me slowly, and it&apos;s tearing down my walls
I smell you sweat but I don&apos;t care
I grab a handful of your hair
and gently pull it as I make my way in further

We can lock the door but crack the shade
I&apos;m always stuck in this parade that goes in circles
obliviously marching
always running against the wind
always questioning, &apos;hey where you been?&apos;
when I know&amp;hellip;

Let me salt your frozen heart 
and pull your ventricles apart
and tie a knot to choke the pain of Sunday morning
lay your heart into my hand
don&apos;t break this dream on which we stand
if I should leave here, would you come back home?

don&apos;t close your eyes
and be here with me

Don&apos;t want to tell you but it&apos;s true
if this means anything to you
the times upon me and I&apos;ve got to let it out
I feel you glow but you don&apos;t know
I watch you smile all the while
I think about you long after you are gone</description>

					<title>Casket</title>
					<link>http://mikemizmusic.com/lyrics.cfm?feature=2802772&amp;postid=1364509</link>
					<description>&amp;nbsp;When I wake up in the morning
and when I hold my head up high
when I lean against my window
and when I look up at the sky
when I feel the fire burning
like the tracks beneath this train
like a hundred bolts of lightning 
screaming through the rain

well it&apos;s over now&amp;hellip;and honey&amp;hellip;

Something happened on these sidewalks
now they won&apos;t ever be the same
and when I&apos;m driving down that street
I can still feel the pain
There&apos;s a part of me that&amp;rsquo;s dying 
fading like leaves on a tree
and when I feel the wind blow stronger
I don&apos;t know how much stronger I can be

Now this town feels so dirty
and it don&apos;t wash with the rain
and when I&apos;m driving down that street
there is fury in my veins
I can feel the tires sliding
I can feel it in my soul
with nothing left to hold onto
I&apos;m about to loose control

When my head it hits the pillow
that&apos;s a fight I&apos;ll never win
as I lay my body down
and I just can&apos;t sleep again
I hear the rain pound off the rooftop
as my head it starts to spin
cause my bed feels like a casket
that my body don&apos;t fit in

well it&apos;s over now&amp;hellip;and honey, it ain&apos;t even begun</description>

					<title>My Irene</title>
					<link>http://mikemizmusic.com/lyrics.cfm?feature=2802772&amp;postid=1364508</link>
					<description>&amp;nbsp;My Irene, it&apos;s much later than it seems
I must have woken from the dreams I had last night
My Irene, I see the moonshine in the sky
how I often wonder why I am here

Now I&apos;m all up in my head
was it something that I said?
or do you take me for the fool you think I am?
You are cooking in the kitchen
now I&apos;m wide awake and wishing
that someday you would help me understand

My Irene, when I couldn&apos;t stand it anymore
girl, you opened up the door and let me in
My Irene, when the root is strong the fruit is sweet
and how I wonder what it means to know you care

And like a tree I must be pruned
so I can bear all I&apos;ve been through
but for the moment it&apos;s the best that I can do
I know the needle has sewn it&apos;s thread
and my branches they are dead
all I hope is that you feel me shining through

Sometimes sunshine don&apos;t feel so sweet
when darkness is all that surrounds
maybe moonshine is all you need
I don&apos;t know&amp;hellip;

My Irene, I don&apos;t know how I&apos;m still clean
but if I&apos;m willing then it seems to be okay
My Irene, I see the moonshine in your eyes
how I often wonder why I am here

Now I&apos;m all up in my head
was it something that I said?
or do you take me for the fool you think I am?
I know the needle has sewn it&apos;s thread
and my branches they are dead
all I hope is that you feel me shining through</description>

					<title>Heels of the Day</title>
					<link>http://mikemizmusic.com/lyrics.cfm?feature=2802772&amp;postid=1364507</link>
					<description>Welcome back, my old friend
ooh my God, where you been?
it seems like yesterday we were kids playing in the snow

Innocent, free, and young
now when&amp;rsquo;s the last time you had fun?
there&amp;rsquo;s a void in your chest where your soul should be

I&apos;d rather step down on your toes
than be standing on your grave
Just seems like what your doing is killing you
and it&apos;s killing me too

It&apos;s a pain I can&apos;t describe
but maybe you know what it&apos;s like
to feel like broken glass, crushed by the heels of the day

We were brought back from our graves
we had to learn how to behave
and there ain&apos;t nothing left to defend when it&apos;s all gone

I&apos;d rather step down on your toes
than be standing on your grave
Just seems like what your doing is killing you
and it&apos;s killing me too

Oh sweet nothing
it&apos;s my only regret
oh sweet nothing
I&apos;ve been trying to forget

In the silence of my soul
I saw a face I used to know
and it looked like light
busting through the cracks of the door to your room

You may say that your awake
it all depends who&apos;s side you take
but there ain&apos;t no sense drawing lines
if we&apos;re all asleep

I&apos;d rather stand up just and strong
than to be just hanging on
and if it&apos;s all just a dream..
will you wake up with me?</description>
