RocKin' With Me
My Baby’s the Queen of the Mountain My Baby’s the King of the Sea. When the mountain spring water flows like a fountain You know the river's flowing to me Tumblin' over stones and Moving to the coastline When my baby’s talking to me.
My Baby’s the wave of the future. My Baby’s the end of the world. Time keeps movin' on whether or not it suits ya Turns a grain of sand into pearl. And like a pearl I shine With her/his hand in mine When my baby’s walking with me
My Baby’s the Rock of Gibraltar My Baby’s the Lay of the land When he starts loving me he’ll never falter I put myself in her hands The earth begins to quake The Richter's 8.8 When my baby’s rockin' with me copyright 2008 David Simmons & Kirsten Manville
YOU, ME AND JOE
YOU ME AND JOE WERE TIRED OF OUR SMALL HOMETOWN EIGHTEEN YEARS OLD AND DYING TO GET OUT SO I GOT MY DADDY'S GUN AND YOU GOT US SOME BEER CLIMBED IN JOE'S OLD TRUCK AND WE WERE OUTTA THERE DRIVING AS FAST AS WE COULD GO YOU ME AND JOE
DON'T KNOW WHO DECIDED WE SHOULD ROB A LIQUOR STORE BUT AFTER THE FIRST ONE WE DECIDED TO ROB ONE MORE WHEN THAT CLERK PULLED A KNIFE I THOUGHT WHAT A FOOL AND THEN I SHOT HIM TWICE SEEMED LIKE THE THING TO DO GRAB THE CASH AND HIT THE ROAD YOU ME AND JOE
JOE POINTED THAT TRUCK SOUTH AND WE WERE ON THE RUN AFTER A HUNDRED MILES JOE STARTED TO COME UNDONE SO I TOOK THE WHEEL AND YOU TRIED TO CALM HIM DOWN TOLD HIM WE'D GO SOMEWHERE WE WOULD NEVER BE FOUND JUST HAD TO MAKE MEXICO YOU ME AND JOE
BLUE LIGHTS AND LOUD SIRENS I LOST CONTROL AND THE TRUCK HIT THE SHOULDER JOE PANICKED HE WAS FRANTIC TO RUN AS HE DID HE REACHED FOR MY GUN and I HEARD THE SHOTS AS THE COP KNOCKED ME TO THE GROUND BY THE TIME I LOOKED UP JOE WAS ALREADY DOWN
IT'S BEEN TWELVE YEARS TWO SINCE YOU GOT OUT NOT MUCH TO DO HERE SITTING INSIDE THIS CELL EXCEPT TO WRITE TO YOU AND REPLAY IN MIND JOE TAKE HIS FINAL BREATH RIGHT BEFORE MY EYES OH IF I HAD ONLY KNOWN I'D CHANGE THE WAY THE STORY GOES MAYBE SAVE THE SOULS OF YOU ME AND JOE copyright 2006 Kirsten Manville |
Kissing In the Dark
Hey Baby what’ll it be Should we catch that new movie Do you feel like a walk in the moonlight or hearING the story of my life hey I got an idea let’s get to the good part Turn out the light Dear. I Wanna do a little Kissing in the dark
Well I haven’t known you for too long but I've got these feelings and they’re comin’ on strong. It’s time to make my move AND I just know I'VE got nothin’ to lose. i don’t want commitment so don’t get scared off Just haD to admit it I Wanna do a little Kissing in the Dark Kissing in the dark
OH We’ll take it slow and no one has to know This is only between you and me So Babe let yourself go We can play it safe and we can play it smart But I’d rather just play and do a little Kissing in the dark Kissing in the Dark
Well I’m dying to have you hold me and there’s no denying we'VE got chemistry Fightin' these feelings we might miss a chance to get a taste of true romance This could be love or maybe not But we’ll never know If we don’t do a little Kissing in the Dark KisSIng in the Dark
OH We’ll take it slow and no one has to know This is only between you AND me So Babe let yourself go Close you eyes and follow your heart 'cause it never lies You wanna do a little… We can play it safe and we can play it smart But I’d rather just play and do a little Kissing in the dark Kissing in the Dark KISSING IN THE DARK

Kirsten Manville Chrysalis
You spent your first life aimlessly Climbin’ up your family tree I watched you from afar I know who you are
You never got to know the root But you tasted all the fruit I saw you every day But you always went away
You came to me to my relief We spent some time and chewed the leaf So good to have you near Thanks to you my dear
By the light of the bursting moon You wrapped yourself in your cocoon
Chrysalis it’s time to turn Make use of all the things you learned Wrapped in your cocoon you lay I watch over you today
The change is done you are complete Brand new wings and fewer feet Parting time is here Farewell to you my dear
Lovely as you were before You’re truth and beauty as you soar One more thing to say I’ll be like you someday
Chrysalis it’s time to turn Make use of all the things you learned Freedom’s in the air today I sadly watch you fly away copyright 1993 by David Simmons
Advice From Joe
On Monday I drive a Mustang – it goes really fast The Hummer’s for Tuesday – I use too much gas Wednesday’s an Edsel Thursday’s an Olds Friday I stay home cause the Yugo won’t go I got this advice from my friend Joe Never drive the same car two days in a row
Monday I drop acid to mess up my mind Tuesday I drink Moonshine until I go blind Wednesday I lock the doors and do some blow What happens after Thursday I never know I got this advice from my friend Joe Never take the same drug TWO days in a row
I got this advice from my friend Joe You get a habit - that habit will grow Joe’s an evil genius so he should know Never take the same drug TWO days in a row
Monday I see Lisa she’s easy and sweet Tuesday’s for Candy she's my favorite treat Wednesday’s for Jenny Thursday’s for Flo Friday I’m so tired my body says “NO!” I got this advice from my friend Joe Never date the same girl 2 days in a row
This is the way Joe gets his kicks. Now every day I'm tired and sick I learned my lesson now I know Never ever ever take advice from Joe
I learned my lesson now I know Never ever ever take advice from Joe copyright 2008 by David Simmons
STILL
THE DAISIES BLOOM IN THE FIELD AFAR THE SPARROW SOARS INTO THE BLUE THE SUN CROSSES THE SKY IN AN ARC AND I'M STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU
THE RAIN COLORS THE GARDEN GREEN THE RIVER SMOOTHS ROCK TO STONE WHITECAPS RIDE ON A ROLLING SEA AND YOUR HEART IS STILL MY HOME
IT'S NATURAL AND ETERNAL IT'S THE TIDAL FLOW BY THE LIGHT OF THE MOON THE DAYS WILL DAWN AS THE EARTH TURNS ON AND I'LL STILL BE IN LOVE WITH YOU
THE CATERPILLAR WAKES WITH WINGS OF GOLD THE OWL SOFTLY WONDERS WHO THE RABBIT BURROWS IN THE GROUND BELOW AND I STILL BELONG TO YOU
IT'S NATURAL AND ETERNAL IT'S THE TIDAL FLOW BY THE LIGHT OF THE MOON THE DAYS WILL DAWN AS THE EARTH TURNS ON AND I'LL STILL BE IN LOVE WITH YOU
IT'S MEANT TO BE AND INFINITY IT'S THE SILVER GLEAM from a STARLIGHT POOL THE SUN WILL SET AS THE NIGHTS ARE MET AND I'LL STILL BE IN LOVE YOU WITH you
THE DAYS WILL DAWN AS THE EARTH TURNS ON AND I'LL STILL BE IN LOVE WITH YOU WITH YOU STILL copyright 2009 Kirsten Manville
