Azure Wrapped In Saffron

Azure wrapped in Saffron that's how I picture you

Like the lonely morning glory growin' under the sun

A beautiful bluejay sharin' a tree with the whipperwills

That precious sapphire on a beach full of sandstone

Deep Caribbean Sea surrounded by the mountains of sand

Indigo living freely in the fields of Gypsy Dancers

Midnight skies encased in the lights of the street lamps

A mystical Apatura Iris amongst the Painted Ladies

🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

[Actually mix of Tom x Stevie]

Your soul creeps in like an unwanted memory I'd rather forget
But You walks in so smoothly that I lose myself instantly
The door will close behind you and we'll embrace again
Then I'll be left to pick up the pieces of this broken heart

I'd rather you keep your distance from me darlin'
Walk out that door 'fore this gets too hard to handle
Before you start something you know you can not finish
I can not take the pain of losing you all over again

You look on with angry eyes as you glare down at me
But honey you've done this to your own damn self
The horrible words that you spout aren't ever true
Cause baby you are just as much to blame as I am

Slam the door throw a little fit tell me I'm worthless
I won't be persuaded this time, won't break gotta let go
You can't expect so much from me can't take everything
And then try to leave me with nothing it don't work that way

🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

If love came a knockin' would you let it in wholeheartedly?
If all the time was there a tickin' would you spend it wisely?
If out lives were made for a riskin' would you treat it foolishly?
If the land was worth a takin' would you cherish it soulfully?

🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

If I were to pack up my belongings would you miss me?
Oh if I walked out that front door would you try to kiss me?
Now I must let you go and you must do the same thing with me
Please don't keep us in this cage it's hurting you it's hurtin' me

Love doesn't last when it's forced upon the lovers involved
But I did have a good time with you while this thing lasted
But now I gotta move out and move on from this whole thing 
You'll be alright just continue to shine on through like you do

You'll cry and plead with me but I can't stay, not this time
We've been here before and I don't want to do it again
It's a vicious cycle to go through and a even visciouser battle
When you must choose to trust your mind or follow your heart

I do love you, always will seem to have that part me and you
Though I'll try my hardest this time not to give in to you
I'll still feel that spark, that pull that I first felt with you
But I gotta go 'fore I do something stupid like forgive you

🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

I don't recall my childhood so well
But I do remember all of the hell
Mama didn't have money for the rent
Daddy blew the cash as he got spent

He left one day never to come back
We were left with nothing but a sack
Landlord swore he was out to get her
Winded up living in a homeless shelter

It didn't last the bad things never did
We wound up winning he got the slip
Got a new house and began a new life
Mama had to work so we could survive

I've learn to cherish what I have here
Cause once I had nothin but my tears
It's a long road you must travel on
But I swear one day you'll find a home

🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

[This was inspired by Stevie Nicks x Tom Petty]

If you aren't my love in this time
I bet you were once in a lifetime
Like a secret that's kept deep inside
Nodody else's just yours and mine

You're by my side everywhere I will go
Carry you in my heart durin' my shows
We'll stay by one other but not so near
You'll take me with you cause you care

If you aren't my love in this time
I bet you were once in a lifetime
Like a secret that's kept deep inside
Nodody else's just yours and mine

Golden hair danced on the Sun shine
Your Eyes spoken volumes you'd hide
She walked in head held high and free
Decked in black and lace like a dream

If you aren't my love in this time
I bet you were once in a lifetime
Like a secret that's kept deep inside
Nodody else's just yours and mine

Voice like a syren with eyes to match
Felt spell bound couldn't fight back
Had to keep some distance from him
Cause I could not go through it again

If you aren't my love in this time
I bet you were once in a lifetime
Like a secret that's kept deep inside
Nodody else's just yours and mine

Won't admit I like you to anyone at all
The guessin' is fun this secret is ours
You're a great friend of mine forever
A kind of relationship you can't sever

As long as I have you near on the road
I won't ever feel like I am on my own
Please stay with me don't abandon me
I will need you here now and always

If you aren't my love in this time
I bet you were once in a lifetime
Like a secret that's kept deep inside
Nodody else's just yours and mine

I'm yours, you're mine

There was a crow high in a christmas tree
There were butterflies dancin' all around
There was a wind that whispered softly 
There were wild flowers on the ground

🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

[Technically this was inspired by Lover Of The Bayou soo it's a bit Tom x Roger McGuinn]

Painted ladies dance upon the tall grass
The Apaturas fly through the willow trees
Young lovers lie out on the bayou banks
The skies look too majestic for any words

Seasons may come and then they up and go
But the scenery still continues to grow
birds may always leave their little shacks
But always somehow find their ways back

Wildflowers are living peacefully with Spanish moss
Swamps look like a piece of artwork in galleries
Dragonflies glide on the wind as they pass on by
You can hear the wild dogs in the distance

Seasons may come and then they up and go 
But the scenery still continues to grow
birds may always leave their little shacks
But always somehow find their ways back

The smell of flowers are strong in the air
Gypsies meet near to give thanks to the mother
Blue waters lace the coast as they walk along it
The sun's going down and the moon's on the horizon

Seasons may come and then they up and go 
But the scenery still continues to grow
birds may always leave their little shacks
But always somehow find their ways back

Spells are cast in the pitch of the woods
Children play in the shallows of the rivers
Cults dance around a fire chantin' words of old
Night's are alive like the depths of our souls

 Seasons may come and then they up and go 
But the scenery still continues to grow
birds may always leave their little shacks
But always somehow find their ways back

This ain't the Whiskey A Go-Go 
This ain't the The Strip's Rainbow
This is the arena a real live show
You gotta try hard don't wanna blow!

{Fun fact I wrote this before hearing them actually say in a live performance "C'mon Ben, this ain't the Whiskey!"}

[A bit of Stevie x Tom inspired]

I had a feeling that you would come to your senses
And here you are at my door again tonight
You pushed me aside for the most stupidest excuses
And now you just expect me to let you inside?

Go on call up your little lover they'll be there soon
Don't play with my emotions I feel like a fool
You promised the world but I was never in that equation
Let me down baby I can't take all this madness no more

You always crawl back when I'm torn or broken
Think it's fun to treat me like some kind of joke
And I always seem to let you back inside of my life
But not this time Larry I've  given up the fight

Go on call up your little lover they'll be there soon
Don't play with my emotions I feel like a fool
You promised the world but I was never in that equation
Let me down baby I can't take all this madness no more

Get away Larry go find yourself another toy to possess
There's plenty of fish out there who'll fall for your catch
I'm not gonna try ain't gonna do this all over again
We can't be lovers but we will always be friends

Go on call up your little lover they'll be there soon
Don't play with my emotions I feel like a fool
You promised the world but I was never in that equation
Let me down baby I can't take all this madness no more

You sit there pleadin' with me but I'm not givin' in
Can't cast your pearls to swines and expect a swan in the end
Remember it wasn't me but you who didn't care
But don't worry Larry you'll be fine and make it I swear

Go on call up your little lover they'll be there soon
Don't play with my emotions I feel like a fool
You promised the world but I was never in that equation
Let me down baby I can't take all this madness no more

🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

The walls are crumblin' around us at our feet
And children are bein' awoken from their sleep
We gotta pray that we make it through this
Cause it's gonna be one hell of a destructive peak

The water's coming through the floorboards
And the roof has just got it's own wings
We gotta pray that we make it through this
Cause it's gonna be one hell of a long week

The winds pickin' up the grounds bein' shredded
And the neighbor next door has just lost their truck
We gotta pray that we make it through this
Cause it's gonna be one hell of a life changer

God we ask you keep those who are under attack safe
To bring them some peace as they deal with the disasters
Keep them warm and sheltered from the ragin' storm
Above all give them comfort knowing they're safe from all harm

[Again Tom x Stevie]

His name was Lawrence came from KT
He wasn't a gentleman, wasn't for me
Gave me tons of cash just to shut up
All I ever wanted in return was his love

Oh Larry why you gotta be so cruel
Can't you see this little girl loves you
Treats me better than my own father
But baby stop screwin' with another

He moved on up to gorgeous ol' VA
Met some whore, she weren't no lady
Swear he loved her he could be right
But she left for another man last night

Oh Larry why you gotta be so cruel
Can't you see this little girl loves you
Treats me better than my own father
But baby stop screwin' with another

Went out West to seek new horizons
His new friends made him feel like dyin'
He ain't comin' back he's got a show
Yeah I may have to let that man go

Oh Larry why you gotta be so cruel
Can't you see this little girl loves you
Treats me better than my own father
But baby stop screwin' with another

That lifestyle flew by it didn't last
Can't recall how he got South so fast
Woke up in someplace in New Orleans
He reckons it must've been that Gypsy Queen

Oh Larry why you gotta be so cruel
Can't you see this little girl loves you
Treats me better than my own father
But baby stop screwin' with another

🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

If you want this thing we got to go anywhere
Better go on and make a better effort at it
Cause the signs that are currently showin'
Are gonna have me get up and go leavin'

You can't have your cake and eat it too
Don't ensnare that poor Raven and chase that wild Goose
Have to pick only one yeah, you have to choose
You can't have your cake and eat it too

Do you know how this makes me feel
To be confused like you make me daily
Got me thinkin' I'm wastin' my time
Betcha think it's fun to make me crazy

You can't have your cake and eat it too
Don't ensnare that poor Raven and chase that wild Goose
Have to pick only one yeah, you have to choose
You can't have your cake and eat it too

Ever wonder how the other's doin'
I think you are just in to that screwin'
With my emotions and fuckin' with my head
Won't be laughin' later once I've fled

You can't have your cake and eat it too
Don't ensnare that poor Raven and chase that wild Goose
Have to pick only one yeah, you have to choose
You can't have your cake and eat it too

Lately I feel the pain, feel the cracks
My hearts breakin' I can't get it back
You'll be sorry you'll probably even cry
When the chance goes, passes right by

You can't have your cake and eat it too
Don't ensnare that poor Raven and chase that wild Goose
Have to pick only one yeah, you have to choose
You can't have your cake and eat it too

🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

Those boys don't fuck with that kinda booze
They don't like champagne or anything refine
Want the southern comforts of some Dixie brew
Rather have a beer and some homemade moonshine

[A bit of Tom x of course My childhood experiences]

No One Deserves This Kind Of Life

There's someone outside, keeps tellin' lies
I'll be with them For better or for worse
It all started out as a blessing in disguise
Who knew that blessing would turn into a curse?

They build you up a little just to break you down
You swear that they love you but you look like a clown
They're facade seems to slip away down the line
Then you realize too late it was a waste of time

Nothing is worse than living with the constant battle
Day in day out your nerves start to rattle
They push or throw you to the hard ground
Don't worry it'll get better once you figure it out

The screams turn into nails on a chalkboard in class
You can't seem to do anything right cause you're the ass
They belittle and smack you when you've done nothing wrong
Wait for recovery that's even a hell of a longer road to cross

Livin' on the edge ain't too bad in small doses
But a daily shot of it can have some consequences
A child isn't a punching bag neither is an adult
That kind of thing follows through life, them thinkin' it's their faults

Do Me a favor and get out while you can
Tell someone what's happening or maybe lend a hand
No one deserves to endure such an awful sentence
For crimes they never even would think to commit

🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

You may fall in love again down the road
And that spark you've felt with your first love
May simmer down and go to the back of your mind
But in all your years of livin' it will never die

🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

[A bit of Blue Eyes x Tom inspired]

He stood there in the pitch black darkness
Thinking why do bad things happen to good souls
She probably didn't even care how bad he was hurting
Had her boyfriends to occupy her thoughts

He sedated the pain by drinking it away
Didn't care what it caused as long as it helped him
Bottle after bottle the days just slipped right by
Never thought about livin' he just wanted to die

She always came back to him like a dream
This only lasted for awhile before the nightmare began again
Promised to change and get help for the demons
But in the end it was always the same ol' dance

I'm the girl tryin' to keep him together
He may not want me but that's whatever
As long as he has peace of mind and everything's alright
Then I can sleep so soundly during the  night

🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

There was a sweet little girl I used to have next to me
She had hair like sunflowers and eyes like the sea
She was so young at that time and I was so young too
But knew I loved her, at the first look was that it was  true

🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

[See I accidentally wrote Heading For The Lift instead of Light and these lyrics came to me like wait a sec I can use this!]

Heading for the lift
If it hasn't departed yet
I'll see you later on
If you decide to ever call

🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

And that's about all I have saved I think there's more but these are the main ones enjoy and thank you for inspiring me every time I pick up a pen to write! ❤
