Miss You, Always Will 01:40
lyrics

You changed my life for the better I just wanted you to know You challenged me To be a better me You challenged me to grow I wish you weren’t gone I wish you were here still I miss you I always will I got the job that I never would’ve gotten If you hadn’t led me down that path Your constant love and encouragement Inspired me to act I wish you weren’t gone I wish you were here still I miss you I always will I meet plenty of people And plenty of the people That I meet Aren’t half bad But they can’t hold a candle No they can’t even compare To the best friend I ever had I wish you weren’t gone I wish you were here still I miss you I always will I miss you I always will

Heavenly Eyes 02:32

Come to my bed Heavenly eyes We can watch the sunset And then watch the sunrise Drifting through days Feeling less like myself More like a bottle on the back of some shelf Come to my bed Heavenly eyes We can watch the sunset And then watch the sunrise The point is not this The point is not that The point is to be where you’re at The point is not this The point is not that The point is to be where you’re at Come to my bed Heavenly eyes We can watch the sunset And then watch the sunrise Come to my bed Heavenly eyes We can watch the sunset And then watch the sunrise We can watch the sunset And then watch the sunrise

Come down from your window I want to see you again And I don’t want to wait Not even for an hour You’re beautiful I want you to know I am a force to be reckoned with You ain’t seen nobody like me yet You better believe You’re beautiful I want you to know You are a force to be reckoned with I ain’t seen nobody like you yet You better believe Come down from your window I want to see you again And I don’t want to wait Not even for an hour

Ponder the Passing of Time 02:32
lyrics
buy track
“It’s morning somewhere” She says this morning To herself In the middle Of her bed The birds are singing The bells are ringing She’s lost Again In her head Neglected and abandoned Out of place And out of her mind She stares out the window And watches the wind blow She ponders the passing of time “I have so many worries” She says as she hurries To get Where she doesn’t want To go The traffic is creeping She wishes she was sleeping But sometimes You can’t just say no There must be some reason I came here She looks to the heavens for a sign She’s making connections Among her reflections She ponders the passing of time “I’m going to be ok” She tells herself every day “Love is illusion” She says in confusion I listen while holding her hand In the distance there’s laughing And then I hear clapping Mixed in with some high school band Through chaos and degradation I make a promise to always be kind Whatever the weather We’ll make it together We’ll ponder the passing of time Whatever the weather We’ll make it together We’ll ponder the passing of time

I'd Rather Be Drinking Wine With You 02:25
lyrics
buy track
I never see the sunrise Anymore And I can’t even remember If I’ve seen one before If I did it was when I was small Back when people seemed so tall And time was so long I’d rather be drinking wine with you I’d rather be drinking wine with you I’d rather be drinking wine with you Than writing this song It’s easy to forget creation c Can be so much fun To remember that nothing you’re doing Has ever been done So lift up your voice and sing Go ahead there’s no such thing As right or wrong I’d rather be drinking wine with you I’d rather be drinking wine with you I’d rather be drinking wine with you Than writing this song I’m dreaming in glimpses and glances And flashes of light And everything that I believed in Was brought into question tonight Up on top of the hill Through the fog and train All was still All was young I’d rather be drinking wine with you I’d rather be drinking wine with you I’d rather be drinking wine with you Than writing this song

lyrics

I’m crazy ‘Bout bein’ crazy ‘Bout bein’ crazy ‘Bout bein’ crazy Tell me what’s it cost To be reborn Do you have to die inside To change your form And if not then may you be forewarned That tomorrow you may not recognize me I’m crazy ‘Bout bein’ crazy ‘Bout bein’ crazy ‘Bout bein’ crazy I feel pain Even though I know there’s nothing wrong When the rain beats down All weekend long I go insane ‘Cause I’m trying to stay so strong In the face of day to day reality I’m crazy ‘Bout bein’ crazy ‘Bout bein’ crazy ‘Bout bein’ crazy My scatterbrain Is powered by my scatterheart And I miss you every minute That we are apart Why don’t you stop running ‘round Like a chicken in the dark And get underneath this blanket with me I’m crazy ‘Bout bein’ crazy ‘Bout bein’ crazy ‘Bout bein’ alive

Spring Flowers 02:26
lyrics

Spring flowers Outside my window I watch them grow So nice and slow When we were walking We were so happy When did the world unwind When did I lose my mind Unification You must be dreaming, man I’m in a semi-demise Brought on by those I despise Spring flowers Outside my window I watch them grow So far below When we were talking Life was so wonderful My memories leave me blind You always were so kind This occupation Requires fortitude They wouldn’t understand Living off the fat of the land Spring flowers Spring flowers Spring flowers Spring flowers

Take me someplace else You say I wanna go someplace else But where will you go Where will you go You finally got the job you want And yet you still feel sad You still feel bad everyday You finally live in a place you love And yet you still get down You still walk around in a daze Why Do you cry When you know It could be so much worse Take me someplace else You say I wanna go someplace else But where will you go Where will you go You finally got a bunch of get friends And yet you still feel sad You still feel bad everyday You finally got a little money to spend And yet you still get down You still walk around in a daze Why Do you cry When you know You’re lucky beyond belief Why Do you cry When you know It’s good to be alive Take me someplace else You say I wanna go someplace else But where will you go Where will you go

Joe Dickinson Chicago, Illinois

Hi, I’m Joe Dickinson.

I'm a DIY singer/songwriter from Chicago, IL.

It's not easy, balancing the external demands of work/life with the internal demands of creativity, but I'm working toward a set of sustainable internal systems that will allow me to continue to write, record, and release songs. Hopefully for the rest of my life.

I appreciate you taking the time to listen. ... more
