Nature's Song 02:43
lyrics

The road is all but deserted Lucky no one here alerted me I don’t mind, do you my friend Walking with my face in the wind Mmm Mother Nature’s calling out my name Mmm Mother Nature’s calling out my name I’m sorry I don’t visit more I never meant to be gone so long I wrote this for you yesterday I think I’ll call it nature’s song Trees are green and water’s blue Fire burns and this one burns for you Stars are shining inches away Bringing out the age in your face Mmm Mother Nature’s calling out my name Mmm Mother Nature’s calling out my name I’m sorry I don’t visit more I never meant to be gone so long I wrote this for you yesterday I think I’ll call it nature’s song After all these wasted years I finally realize I love you Now you’re dying in your bed Tell me is there something I can do I’m sorry I don’t visit more I never meant to be gone so long I wrote this for you yesterday I think I’ll call it nature’s song I wrote this for you yesterday I think I’ll call it nature’s song

Karenwood 02:54
lyrics

We gotta hunt ‘til it’s all dead We gotta shoot it in the head We gotta understand what we’re living for Oh Karenwood We gotta fight ‘til we got peace We gotta spit on our won streets We gotta understand the reason for Oh Karenwood We got love and we got hate We got plans and we got fate We gotta understand before it’s too late Oh Karenwood The community blames the victim The community is to blame Some got money and others don’t Some find love and others won’t Some believe in a higher power Oh Karenwood We got a box that feeds us fear They say it’s safer over here I don’t believe the lies they tell me Oh Karenwood We got guns to clear our sights We believe we have the right A shot rings out in the night Oh Karenwood We got flowers and we got friends We got holes we have to mend The widow weeps alone Oh Karenwood The community blames the victim The community is to blame Some got power and others don’t Some will cry and others won’t I wake up to the moon Oh Karenwood

Heart of Fire 02:16
lyrics

Over insanity That runs our lives On the walls That age so slow Past the crumbling Columns of pride To the truth Where we must go And though I may look Like a bird on the wire You fulfill my deepest desire Are you immune to being admired Oh heart of fire Kicking possibility Straight in the face Sitting here It hurts so bad Hard to find And so hard to replace Meeting you Was not my plan And though I may look Like a bird on the wire You fulfill my deepest desire Are you immune to being admired Oh heart of fire Mystic mountains hover Over everything above I don’t want to take your soul I only want your love Mystic mountains hover Over everything above I don’t want to take your soul I only want your love Sliding into a dream That feels so real I’m tripping On the grip of time Much too much Such a crutch to conceal Not exactly what I had in mind And though I may look Like a bird on the wire You fulfill my deepest desire Are you immune to being admired Oh heart of fire And though I may look Like a bird on the wire You fulfill my deepest desire Are you immune to being admired Oh heart of fire

The Final Mile 01:43
lyrics

I’ve lived inside the moment I’ve played out all my parts I’ve met so many people I’ve known so many hearts I’ve dreamed with kings and peasants I’ve bathed within the Nile I’ve hidden in the moonlight I’ve walked the final mile I took the road less traveled I’ve lived on my own terms I’ve drawn upon my fathers I’ve thought so many words I’ve broken all the mirrors I’ve cried just like a child I’ve faded into glory I’ve walked the final mile I’ve watched the buildings crumble I’ve seen the promised land I’ve rested in the meadows I’ve drawn portraits in the sand I’ve shattered every promise Like glass upon the tile I’ve touched the holy statue I’ve walked the final mile

We got to meet in the middle Over our heads I’ve to to find a way To be with you my love To be with you my love Nothing makes much sense To those who doubt I cannot repent Aw I’m drawing hearts for you I’m flying home I’m flying home I’m flying home to be in your arms Rain clouds up above They can’t stop us Everyone you love Is waiting here for you I’m flying home I’m flying home I’m flying home to be in your arms I’m flying home I’m flying home I’m flying home to be in your arms I’m flying home I’m flying home I’m flying home to be in your arms

True Love Means No Deception 02:23
lyrics
buy track
He sits alone And watches her sleep Through her bedroom door Through her window he creeps Leaves her a flower And a letter so deep She is God to him Her room is empty Except for some clothes A porcelain box And some ribbons and bows She keeps her secrets Where nobody knows Letters to the sky She wakes up And goes down the stairs Puts on her makeup And plays with her Her life is so sweet So void of despair Nothing is what it seems She sees the flower And picks it right up Gets it some water And gets it a cup Plays with her kitten And plays with her pup Love is everywhere To be together To be in her sweet arms Where nothing matters Where no man can harm Hair on her body And ghosts on her charm I remember you Do you remember me?

Nothing Makes Me Cry (Except for Rain) 01:49
lyrics

Oh I still see you In the morning fog And I still breathe you As I get along Nothing makes me cry Except for rain Nothing makes me cry Except for rain On my mountain Where the eagle flies Babies forget And angels sigh Nothing makes me cry Except for rain Nothing makes me cry Except for rain Dawn is rising on my Tired face Won’t you slow down You’ve won the race Nothing makes me cry Except for rain Nothing makes me cry Except for rain Little child Waking up Bigger mind Sleeping cup Moon only shines When she is blue Drinking life And breathing fire Eating hope and smoking liar Nothing really matters When you’re innocent

The Real Me 03:01

I don’t know what I want I don’t know what I need I don’t know who I am I don’t know the real me Hear those church bells on the porch Maybe I’ll go have a seat Paint a picture in my mind Fake white doves start to fly I don’t know what I want I don’t know what I need I don’t know who I am I don’t know the real me I’m following a black tooth angel Up and down on a roller coaster of love Love I’m living in a broken stable With stolen cable and fax-enabled love Love Nevermind all your dreams How much money can you make I don’t want to live like that I don’t want to be fake I don’t know what I want I don’t know what I need I don’t know who I am I don’t know the real me

I’m going to be lonely all my life I’m going to be lonely all my life Don’t pity me you see It’s the way it has to be I’m going to be lonely all my life Nobody loves me just the way I am Nobody loves me just the way I am Let’s cut out all this shit And get right on down to it I’m going to be lonely all my life It’s clear to me that I don’t have a chance It’s clear to me that I don’t have a chance You’re an artist and an angel Though you never would agree I’m going to be lonely all my life This emptiness is more than I can stand This emptiness is more than I can stand You’re looking in the mirror And I’m sitting by myself I’m going to be lonely all my life I’m swimming in the sound of my own tears I’m swimming in the sound of my own tears They don’t want to hear the story But you brought it on yourself I’m going to be lonely all my life My head feels like an orchestra of bells My head feels like an orchestra of bells I can’t the way I act Can I take what I said back I’m going to be lonely all my life I know that you don’t feel the way I do I know that you don’t feel the way I do I know that you don’t love me And you’re never thinking of me I’m going to be lonely all my life

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
