Face home again

Your eyes like nothing I’ve seen

Face home again

Dark eyes again

Shoreline like nothing I’ve seen

Face home again

This harbor’d like to see ya

It doesn’t matter much to be ya

Face home again

Your eyes like nothing I’ve seen

Face home again

Rembrandt, David Hubbard

Rembrandt    ©David Hubbard 2014

Jenny says she’s better

Wrote it in a letter

Left it in her sweater

I’ma go and get her

Find her at a drive-in

Sitting there with five men

Think I’d better dive in

We get out alive and

She says she’s rougher now, and

She’s had enough and all, and

She loves a scofflaw, and

I’m mad and huffing and hawing

Calls her new man Rembrandt

I call him a piss-ant

Jenny’s not compliant

She can do what I can’t

I pull into Gable’s

See all the young-and-ables

Word is on the cables

I turn over tables

You know I’m gonna find them

I’m feeling much maligned, and

Until my head’s aligned, then

Tell her I’m right behind them

All in all, it’s up to you

I don’t know how I’m supposed to fall or follow

All in all it’s up to you

I don’t know how I’m supposed to fall – All is hollow

I used to love lightning

Thunder was inviting

Now I sit here writhing

Shivering and igniting

She says she’s rougher now, and

She’s had enough and all, and

She loves a scofflaw, and

I’m mad and huffing and hawing

More Than Man: David Hubbard

 
More than Man

It’s more than fire burning here
That keeps our tired bodies warm
And all that’s falling from the air 
Is more than just another storm

More than water cools these stones
Beneath the shallow riverbed
It’s more than life existing here
That comes and goes again

And I’m looking for
More than I’m looking for
Deep inside looking for
More than man

Morning breaks in this old town
Chevrolets and passers by
One old buddy comes around
Autumn blazes up the sky

Invites me over for a bite
A friendly whiskey at his table
A ruby smile ignites his face
And he says, “Long as I’m able

“I’m looking for
More than I’m looking for
Deep inside looking for
More than man”

Blackbird passes by
And another man has died
Earth is frozen like a stone
Spinning silently outside

As I stand to take my leave
Rests his fingers on my sleeve
“Warm your boots here by the fire
This could be your final hour”

It’s more than snow that coats these roads
Creaking frozen ‘neath my wheels
It’s more than dashboard radio
More than music that I feel

More than sun that blazes high
A new-born season screams hello
It’s more than fire in these eyes
And I may never know, but

I’m looking for
More than I’m looking for
Deep inside looking for
More than man

"Runaway" Del Shannon, By Craig Hubbard

As I walk along I wonder a-what went wrong

With our love, a love that was so strong

And as I still walk on, I think of the things we've done

Together, a-while our hearts were young

I'm a-walkin' in the rain

Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain

Wishin' you were here by me

To end this misery

And I wonder

I wa-wa-wa-wa-wonder

Why

Ah-why-why-why-why-why she ran away

And I wonder where she will stay

My little runaway, run-run-run-run-runaway

[Musitron solo]

I'm a-walkin' in the rain

Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain

Wishin' you were here by me

To end this misery

And I wonder

I wa-wa-wa-wa-wonder

Why

Ah-why-why-why-why-why she ran away

And I wonder where she will stay

My little runaway, run-run-run-run-runaway

A-run-run-run-run-runaway

You Must Be Out Of Your Mind, Magnetic Fields, By David Hubbard

You Must Be Out of Your Mind, by The Magnetic Fields

You think I'll run, not walk, to you
Why would I want to talk to you?
I want you crawling back to me
Down on your knees, yeah
Like an appendectomy
Sans anesthesia

You think you can leave the past behind
You must be out of your mind
If you think you can simply press rewind
You must be out of your mind, son
You must be out of your mind

You want what you turned off turned on
You call it sunset, now it's dawn
You can't go round just saying stuff 
Because it's pretty
And I no longer drink enough 
To think you're witty

You think you can leave the past behind
You must be out of your mind
If you think you can simply press rewind
You must be out of your mind, son
You must be out of your mind

You want to kindle that old flame
I don't remember your real name
It must be something scandalous
Lurks in your shadows
If you need a Santa Claus
To buy your gallows

You think you can leave the past behind
You must be out of your mind
If you think you can simply press rewind
You must be out of your mind, son
You must be out of your mind
