Love I got your love Right here in my pocket for you babe Love I got your love Right here in my back pocket for you babe I wanna tell you baby You make me crazy (crazy) crazy I’ve been thinking A lot about you lately (lately) lately I love you and I swear I’ll never let you down Love I got your love Right here in my pocket for you babe Love I got your love Right here in my back pocket for you babe I wanna tell you baby You make me crazy (crazy) crazy I’ve been thinking A lot about you lately (lately) lately I love you and I swear I’ll never let you down Love I got your love Right here in my pocket for you babe Love I got your love Right here in my back pocket for you babe

What I feel I cannot show And what I have I can’t let go It’s easy To fall behind It gets better Just give it time Keep that smile upon your face Try to enjoy your fall from grace It’s easy To fall behind It gets better Just take your time All I need is your smile To get by The road ahead it is unknown But I guess all roads lead home It’s easy To fall behind It gets better Just give it time All I need is your smile To get by It’s easy To fall behind It gets better Just take your time The road ahead it is unknown But I guess all roads lead home

Time is a turning point For many men missing their mouths Focus on the ashes Of the arrows heading south Living on the shoreline Doesn’t apply to everyone Apples covered in syrup Climbing the stairs back up to the sun Statues crumbling down Over the edge of your hometown The melancholy clown Is no painting his blue face brown Mountains of denial As a result of your cheating ghost Fairies made of raindrops You always were such a gracious host I can see the rainbow Sleeping deep in your silhouette Smiles flood the river Where my secret heart is kept Your eyes make me nervous Your smile could light the sun People keep saying to go for you But I’m just not the one

Mama I know I’ve been on your mind But what am I supposed to do? You left your heart in San Francisco On an empty street Somewhere downtown But now you’re back and you take prisoner Of every man wearing a frown You never thought about the future You can’t be bothered by the past But now your queen is in detention And your circus man is last Yeah, oh yeah Mama I know I’ve been on your mind But what am I supposed to do? You always were such an attraction Make any man fall to his knees But now the curtain has been lifted And the ugly truth has been set free I’m taking back all my possessions I’m leaving nothing up to chance And now I swear I’m gonna leave you And take the first flight off the France Yeah, oh yeah Mama I know I’ve been on your mind But what am I supposed to do?

I’ve been waiting on this plain for you Making memories She knew more than life itself It seems Beauty that I’ve only seen In dreams Won’t you take my invitation? We could leave this place tonight And never look back Oh it seems we meet again Walking on this street Memories of everything we had Changing faces Every time we laugh Won’t you take my invitation? We could leave this place tonight And never look back Oh it’s so good to see you Floating in the sky Nothing here will ever be the same And when you cry Your tears will bring the rain Won’t you take my invitation? We could leave this place tonight And never look back Oh it’s so good to see you Floating in the sky Nothing seemed to change Since you’ve been gone Everything’s the same Since you left home

Hungry 03:01
I’m so hungry My poor tummy is grumbling And I need to get me some food But what should I have? There’s so many choices I think I’ll have some pizza Food is our friend Food is our friend Food makes us happy And happy is what we am Called my friend Betty The pizza’s almost ready Oh I can’t wait I help set the table Put the baby in the cradle We’re gonna eat together Food is our friend Food is our friend Food makes us happy And happy is what we am Careful when you eat your food You don’t wanna spill You better wear a bib Careful when you eat your food You don’t wanna spill You better wear a bib I’m still hungry My poor tummy is grumbling And I need to get me some dessert But what should I have There’s so many choices I think I’ll have some ice cream Food is our friend Food is our friend Food makes us happy And happy is what we am Happy is what we am

Standing all alone In the sands of time Burning bridges in my path All for you My love Don’t give up on me now Turning my back on the ones I love Oh I’m so predictable Can’t you see the glimmer of guilt In my eye Don’t give up on me now Don’t give up on me now In the morning You won’t even be my Friend Staying up late In case you call I don’t wanna miss a chance I don’t mind I’ll put my life on hold For you Don’t give up on me now Don’t give up on me now In the morning You won’t even be my Friend I don’t know what the future holds Truth is that I don’t care As long as you got me My love Don’t give up on me now Don’t give up on me now In the morning You won’t even be my In the morning You won’t even be my In the morning You won’t even be my Friend

Listening to the silent night There’s a hole in every light I won’t let it be I’m alive you see There’s always a way To be alone One can never truly be known ‘Fess up to the fact That there’s nothing you lack Pale and unhealthy Like you’ve given up on being Who you know that you are Deep down inside It’s like you’ve given up your life It’s not right It’s not right It’s not right Trying to paint an accurate pose Is it possible to come close To catching the sun Wouldn’t it burn everyone Hanging on to the edge of a cliff Over a never ending pit Of dark despair Will I fall Or will I get back up there? Pale and unhealthy Like you’ve given up on being Who you know that you are Deep down inside It’s like you’ve given up your life It’s not right It’s not right It’s not right This is not what it seems I’ve been dying I’ve been living in my dreams Waking up to a face That can never be erased Pale and unhealthy Like you’ve given up on being Who you know that you are Deep down inside It’s like you’ve given up your life It’s like you’ve given up your life It’s like you’ve given up your life

Well I know you told me once I know you told me once I know you told me once Tell me again Yesterday you loved me Now that’s just a lie I don’t believe you Please Tell me again Hold on To your friends Hold on To the dreams you left behind Well I know you told me once I know you told me once I know you told me once Tell me again Hold on To your friends Hold on To the dreams you left behind Well I know you told me once I know you told me once I know you told me once Tell me again So now we’re back at one I hope you’re having fun You wasted all my time Never again Never again Never again Never again

In the middle of the night I call your name I call your name In the middle of the night I call your name I call your name Oh can you hear the angels call They call your name And you go In the middle of the night I call your name I call your name In the middle of the night I call your name I call your name Oh don’t you fear what you might see You were a good one Come to me In the middle of the night I call your name I call your name In the middle of the night I call your name I call your name
12.
I know You bit off more than you can chew Why not I got nothing left to lose I am looking for something But what it is I don’t know Hold my hand We’ll make it through Hold my hand We’ll make it through Burning roses As I sit outside your place I love you But you wouldn’t know it from my face I am looking for something But what it is I don’t know Hold my hand We’ll make it through Hold my hand We’ll make it through Paid my dues Paved the whole road to where I am If you want to be my lover baby First you gotta be my friend I am looking for something But what it is I don’t know Hold my hand We’ll make it through Hold my hand We’ll make it through We’ll make it through We’ll make it through

about

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.
