Sometimes on a rainy day I think of you
Amid all the confusion everything slips away
And the only sound I can hear is the wind
Blowing your voice in my ear
Do you ever call my name in the night
Hoping I might answer your plight?
And the only sound you can hear
Is the echo of your own voice
You made a starboard grab at the moon in the sky
A courageous stab at the love in my eyes
I don’t think about you much anymore
Only on a rainy day I sense your touch
And the only way I can feel is so free
You let me get away
Don’t be Mean
words and music by a. wells
I know you love me baby
So why’d you say those things to me?
I’m trying to find something good in your words
If there is please tell me ‘cause I haven’t heard
Darling please don’t be mean to me
‘Cause I love you desperately
When you’re mean you make me cry
And I don’t want to say good bye
You know I love you honey so why’d you have to hurt me?
Didn’t I give you everything you need?
I just want you to hold me baby
I just want you to be good to me
Darling please don’t be mean to me
‘Cause I love you desperately
When you’re mean you make me cry
And I don’t want to say good bye
Darling please don’t be mean to me
‘Cause I love you desperately
When you’re mean you make me cry
And I don’t want to say good bye
We are two peas in a pod
You are even and I am odd
We are two peas in a pod
You are even and I am odd
Darling please don’t be mean to me
‘Cause I love you desperately
When you’re mean you make me cry
And I don’t want to say good bye
Darling please don’t be mean to me
‘Cause I love you desperately
When you’re mean you make me cry
And I don’t want to say good bye
Little Sparrow
words and music by a. wells
Let me hear your memories of a life with no regret
Tell me all your street kid stories I never will forget
The first time I heard you sing I heard everything that ever hurt you
And everything you ever dreamed of
When love was everything and everything was love
I love you Little Sparrow when you sing your song
When you sing you break my heart with your sorrow
Maybe there was too much wine
There was plenty of pain
Love of your life in every line
He perished on a plane
When I hear you sing I hear everything that ever hurt you
And everything you ever dreamed of
Love is everything and everything is love
I love you Little Sparrow when you sing your song
When you sing you break my heart with your sorrow
Ice Age
words and music by a. wells
No it don’t mean a thing
if you don’t have that feeling in your heart
You could wear sharp pressed suits
shiny shoes every day but I’m unmoved
There are so many cool cats
We’re on the verge of an Ice Age
Offer me more cocaine than I can
fit in my brain and I’ll abstain because
It don’t mean a thing
if you don’t have that feeling in your heart
There are so may cool cats
There’s going to be an ice age
Go ahead straighten you tie
put on your coat and what’s more there’s the door
So what, hey I don’t care
if the Duke and the Count are your best friends
There are so many cool cats
I think it’s an ice age
There are so many cool cats
It’s definitely an ice age
Tell Me
words and music by a. wells
I’ve been sleeping, I woke up from a long sad dream
I’ve been here all this time waiting for you
Your heart and mine are the same
Tell me anything, I want to know
Tell me everything
I want to know you, I want to know you
I want to know you
It’s alright It’s OK don’t you worry
Things you say your words resonate in my heart
Tell me anything, I want to know
Tell me everything
I want to know you, I want to know you
Tell me anything, I want to know
Tell me everything
I want to know you, I want to know you
I want to know you
You’re an angel you are the answer to my prayers
I am strong I am brave I am sure of you
Tell me anything, I want to know
Tell me everything
I want to know you, I want to know you
Tell me anything, I want to know
Tell me everything
I want to know you, I want to know you
Tell me anything, I want to know
Tell me everything
I want to know you, I want to know you
I want to know you
Cathy’s Ghost
words and music by a. wells
And once again you are out of my reach
I looked for you last night
In the alley way, silhouettes of gray
Smokey remnants recede
In a dark room if the mood is right
Sometimes a ghost appears
You’ll haunt my dreams at night
endlessly year after year
In my mind it is always you and I
My other loves have been so much less inspired
And if by chance on this blue night
You choose to reappear
I’d take you in and love you now
As though you’re always here
You don’t have to belong to me
It’s just a question of really being free
If you know what I mean
In a dark room if the mood is right
Sometimes a ghost appears
You’ll haunt my dreams at night
endlessly year after year
In my mind it is always you and I
My other loves have been so much less inspired
And if by chance on this blue night
You choose to reappear
I’d take you in and love you now
As though you’re always here
Diamonds
words and music by a. wells
Walking home on a winter day
We can see our breath as it floats away
Too cool for school in our leopard coats
walking slow soon, we are halfway home
With her little hands and little eyes
she can see beauties no one else sees
Emma wants to know, can we turn the snow into diamonds?
In the winter sun, snow sparkles like diamonds
Days grow short in wintertime,
Pretty soon it’s nighttime
Looking out on the winter night, we can see moonlight become blue light
on the snow
Emma wants to know, can we turn the snow into diamonds?
In the winter moon, snow sparkles like diamonds
Emma wants to know, can we turn the snow into diamonds?
In the winter sun, snow sparkles like diamonds
Emma wants to know, can we turn the snow into diamonds?
In the winter sun, snow sparkles like diamonds

Perfect
words and music by a. wells
Brilliant conversations with strangers
Paint a pretty picture everyone knows
I can see your words disappearing
Into a cloud of cigarette smoke
If I were perfect you would not have to
Criticize my every move
If I were perfect you would not have to
Always leave me alone
A good martini buzz is heaven
Much better than being in love
Love is on the page, a story made up for some babe
Then sent in the mail
If I were perfect you would not have to
Criticize my every move
If I were perfect you would not have to
Always leave me alone
I’m invisible
You can’t find me now
Have another drink
But don’t drag me down
Angels and devils meet here in this dive
Do you really know which one am I?
After all this time you don’t know me
You were too afraid to see what’s inside
If I were perfect you would not have to
Criticize my every move
If I were perfect you would not have to
Always leave me alone
Always leave me alone
Always leave me
Driving
words and music by a. wells
I’m feeling down
Heavy like the dark sky
Above the golden ground
The sunset behind me
Lights up the trees
Against the clouds
Rolled down the window
To get a picture, driving home
Wish I could just keep driving
Just keep driving
The sun going down behind me
Just keep driving into the night
Just keep driving
The sun going down behind me
Just keep driving into the night
Where stars are headlights
I passed a girl on the road in the rain
she was riding a bike and smiling
Raindrops fell like tears on her face
She’s headed into the sunset
A heart can love
A heart can break
And still it beats
I could live my whole life
With a broken heart
Or I could just keep driving
Just keep driving
The sun going down behind me
Just keep driving into the night
Just keep driving
The sun going down behind me
Just keep driving into the night
Where stars are headlights
When I die, I’ll come back
As a cloud
In the blue, blue sky
Rolling along
You will see me for miles
But for now, I’ll just keep driving
Just keep driving
The sun going down behind me
Just keep driving into the night
Just keep driving
The sun going down behind me
Just keep driving into the night
Where stars are headlights
Beautiful Voice
words and music by a. wells
Late at night you know I’m with you
Keeping bad dreams away
Be kind to yourself
Everything is ok
Sing a song soft and low
Just like a mourning dove
It doesn’t matter if nobody hears you
I hear you with my heart
I remember your beautiful voice
I can hear your beautiful voice
I’m sitting with you at the piano
You don’t play enough
A song will make you feel better
Lift your heavy heart
Save yourself, say a prayer
Lift your voice and sing
I remember your beautiful voice
I can hear your beautiful voice
I miss you, I will miss you forever
Until we’re together again
The pain will go away
Soon you will find peace
I leave you peace
My peace I give you
Soon you’ll be with me
I remember your beautiful voice
I can hear your beautiful voice
I still love your beautiful voice
I’ll Guide Your Sweetest Dreams
words and music by Phillip Marshall
Can I see you where I’m going?
Can I help you once I’m there?
Can I speak to you in person?
Can I show you how much I care?
I am going to be ok
And it is going to be alright
I’ll watch over you each day
And guide your sweetest dreams at night
Oh sweet dreams my dear Madeline
Sweet dreams Caitlin you sleep tight
Sweet dreams Amanda and remember
I’ll Guide your sweetest dreams at night
When you miss me God can help you
You can speak to him in prayer
When he listens I will hear you
‘Cause where God is I too am there
I am going to be ok
And it is going to be alright
I’ll watch over you each day
And guide your sweetest dreams at night
Oh sweet dreams my dear Madeline
Sweet dreams Caitlin you sleep tight
Sweet dreams Amanda and remember
I’ll Guide your sweetest dreams at night
I’ll Guide your sweetest dreams at night
I’ll Guide your sweetest dreams at night
Rosary
words and music by a. wells
My first memory is of you and me
Kneeling by the bed
Our Father
Hail Mary
And the Rosary
I know you saved
Your mother’s clothes
I have saved your clothes too
Now I can talk to you
Whenever I want to
Now I can talk to you
Whenever I want to
I have your dresses
Your costume jewelry
Your high school graduation ring
Now I can talk to you
Whenever I want to
Now I can talk to you
Whenever I want to
Be
poem by Megan Hall, music by a. wells
Be the ground that you walk on
Be the earth that you live on
Be the sky you are under
Be the words that you speak
Be the sun that warms you
Be the person you are
Be yourself |
