Love is So Easy © January 17, 2022 by David Nyro Intro: Verse 1: Love is such a simple thing There is no measuring a thing that never ends, a thing that never fails. But we are not like love; we measure and we judge and never get enough this thing we say is love. We complicate it all; we build that wounded wall. Pride comes before we fall. Point fingers at that wall, point fingers at us all we ever do is cry (and) we never know the why; and then we d i - e Chorus: Love is so easy People are hard Love is so easy People are hard Verse 2: Love is such a miracle it's unconditional It never makes demands or ultimatums. But we are not like love; we like to push and shove, throw love under the bus; make it all about us. But never you mind, we do it all the time We say this is just fine; sipping our bitter wine as the flames dance to the sky-I try and I try; it takes two - it's two or die, and then we cr - y Chorus: Love is so easy People are hard Love is so easy People are hard Bridge: I spent my whole life waving a red cape at an angry bull; a matador who lost the war and gave up hope Verse 3 (Same as #1): Love is such a simple thing There is no measuring a thing that never ends, a thing that never fails. But we are not like love; we measure and we judge and never get enough, this thing we say is love. We complicate it all; we build that wounded wall. Pride comes before we fall. Point fingers at that wall, point fingers at us a - l l we ever do is cry (and) we never know the reason why; and then we d i - e Chorus: Love is so easy People are hard Love is so easy People are hard Love is so easy It's people who make it hard Love is so easy Love is so easy Love is so easy People are hard People are h a - a - rd

It's Alright With Me © February 8, 2020 by David Nyro Chorus: It's alright with me if you go or you stay. It's alright with me, let me know, either way. I can bend, I can hang; I can go with the flow. It's alright with me, it's alright with me. Verse: When - you've been to as many rodeos as me Then - you get to know how things come to be Zen - I'm gonna be one with the sea Let the salt and the sand heal me Do you feel me? Do you feel me? Do you feel me? This is the re - al me Do you feel me? Do you feel me? Do you feel me? This is the re - al me Chorus: It's alright with me if you go or you stay; it's alright with me, let me know, either way I can bend, I can hang; I can go with the flow It's alright with me, it's alright with me Bridge: We belong to no one but ourselves, hold on to that before all else. But that don't mean that I would mind someone by my side. Do you feel me? Do you feel me? Do you feel me? Do you feel me? Do you feel me? Do you feel me? This is the real me Chorus: It's alright with me if you go or you stay. It's alright with me, I'm cool either way. I can rock, I can roll, I can use my domo-mo-mojo. It's alright with me, I'm only bleeding. It's alright with me, I'm only bleeding, bleeding, bleeding It's alright with me, I'm still breathing, breathing It's alright with me It's alright with me It's alright with me, It's alright with me It's alright with me if you go or stay . . . stay.

Land of Gray © October 28, 2020 by David Nyro Intro: Verse 1: I'm in the middle of a riddle that has no answer and then I wonder if it needs an answer; am I the music or am I the dancer? Is this the beginning of the end, or the end of the beginning? Am I losing . . . or are WE winning? Should I be leaving or believing? Chorus: I am living in a land of gray, wondering if I should go or stay. Wondering how things ever got this way, Living here in this land of gray V2: When I was little, there was no middle; it was black and white, wrong or right I knew just where things stood; you were bad or you were good V2: But as the years piled up, got my fears riled up, complications and permutations. I was sittin' on the dock of the bay; trying to process it all the away Chorus: I am living in a land of gray, wondering if I should go or stay? Do I believe in the things you say, or let my intuition lead the way? But can I trust what I believe, wear my emotions on my sleeve? Maybe my biases are blinding me; do I believe, or do I deceive myself da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da I am swimming in a sea of gray, wondr'ing if I should be swimmin' away... Feels like I'm drowning in this land of gray, feels like I'm drinking my own fool-aid!

I Heard You Got Married Today © November 9, 2021 David Nyro V1: I heard you got married today, I heard you got carried away, I heard you told Terry to stay in your life I heard you were singing a song. Heard all the angels were singing along. I heard bells were ringing all night long all night long Chorus: I heard you got married today I heard it was something to see I heard you got married today Like the parting of the blood red sea I heard you got married today I heard you got married today I heard you got married today, without me, without me V2: I heard you were smiling a lot I heard you were trying to not think about all the things you think about I heard you were given it another shot, this business of tying the knot. Did you find a more . . . congenial spot, for doubt? Chorus: I heard you got married today I heard it was the place to be I heard you got married today Heard you called it . . . your fait accompli I heard you got married today I heard you got married today I heard you got married today without me without me Bridge: I remember how we broke - - - our wedding vows; the bittersweet fruit we once shared And I remember, like it was yesterday; when you showed me you no longer cared. V3: I heard you got married today Decided to go all the way; nothing much left for me to say but I wish you well. Chorus: I heard you got married today I heard it was something to see I heard you got married today C'est la vie, c'est la vie I heard you got married today I heard you got married today I heard you got married today, without me without me without me

And Just Like That © December 9, 2021 by David Nyro Verse 1: Fire in your eyes Smoke in your soul Salt in your cries Schemes in your head Spiders in your beard Ghosts in your bed And just like that, I'm disappeared Chorus: Ohhh, Don't you look so smart Breaking all those hearts Don't you look so . . . Don't you look so smart. Storms on your sea Rising suddenly It was never me never meant to be Anger cocked just so Talons tucked in low So they wouldn't show We would never know Chorus: Ohhh, don't you look so smart, breaking all those hearts Don't you look so . . . don't you look so smart Bridge: I'm not sayin' you meant to make us cry; it's only you, doing what you do, to survive. Chorus: Ohh, don't you look so smart Tearing all of us apart Don't you look so, don't you look so smart Ohhh, don't you look so cool Who'll be your next fool? Don't you look now, don't you look so cool Ohh, don't you look so smart Tearing all of us apart Don't you look so, don't you look so smart (Repeat and fade)

C'mon Baby, Show Me What You Got © August 9, 2019 by David Nyro Chorus: C'mon baby, show me what you got, c'mon baby, show me what you got. I got a little, but I'd like a lot, so c'mon baby, show me what you got and we'll shine Verse 1: I've been waiting on your song for such a long, long, long time... It's been at least a week now, and you know I've got an anxious mind, I've been making up the words, but I can't find a rhyme. I've got this melody stuck in my head; you hold the key, so C'mon baby, show me what you got, c'mon baby, give this boy a shot I don't think that I'm asking a lot, c'mon baby show me what you got... and we'll roar...and we'll soar...

Please don't keep me wondering, waiting . . . Please don't keep me hanging, wondering . . . what's in store . . . Chorus: C'mon baby, show me what you got, Let's make some sparks while the iron's hot It's now, or never, to be or not; c'mon baby, show me what you got c'mon baby, give this boy a shot; I don't think that's asking a lot, c'mon baby . . . c'mon baby, show me what you got, I got a little, but I want a lot C'mon baby, show me what you got.

Dance on My Grave © September 7, 2021 by David Nyro Intro: Verse 1: Now that I'm dead and gone far away; Just a poor cowboy, cold as the clay "A poor judge of character," is what they will say, made misguided choices every mis-step of the way Chorus: Come and see Come and sing Come and dance on my grave Won't you come, bang the drum and join the parade. Hey, hey, hey; The world is saved! Verse 2: Now that I'm gone, silent and gray I'll always be wrong, with no more to say Had my chances and I had my day; I'd like to say, that I did it my way But I know that ain't so I was caught in between the stars and the earth. And the curse of a dream As I lay myself down, in the cold, cold ground Let those white doves fly . . . Instrumental Come and see, come and sing; come and dance on my grave Won't you come, bang a drum, come join the parade Hey, hey, hey; be not dismayed. It was a world he never made Come and see, come and sing; come and dance on my grave Won't you come, bang a drum, come join the parade No one was saved! Come and dance on my grave Come and dance on my grave Come and dance on my grave

Rubicon © September 14, 2020 by David Nyro Chorus: I have crossed the Rubicon and I've gone beyond the pale; burned those bridges beyond all recognition. I've set sail without a crew, without a rudder, without a clue. But the winds and the currents are my companions Verse 1: Once upon a time, I was a lucky man, a better man, a fool. Once upon a time, I believed in fairy tales, Save The Whales, and Sunday School But that was then, and this is now, and I'm a hollow man, a bitter man, a broken tool. When everything's been stripped away, even dignity, there is nothing, nothing, nothing to lose . . . What would you chose? Chorus: Verse: Once I had some friends, I was popular, singular, a man of means. I chose to see the universe as a friendly place, with an honest face, where we could follow our dreams. But Einstein never said which way to go, what to choose and how to be. The ones who saw the universe as a hostile place, a rat race, no room for grace, and they had it out for me. And I just didn't see, naivete - the choice I made Chorus: I have crossed the Rubicon and I've gone beyond the pale; burned those bridges beyond all recognition. I've set sail without a crew, without a rudder, without a clue. \But the winds and the currents will see me through, see me through.
