Waiting For My Life To Start
(Again)
© 2016 By David Nyro
V1:
I’m down here in the bomb shelter,
wond'ring if it’s safe to go outside
I’ve seen a lot of good folks going
down I’ve seen the casualties of pride
I know we’ve all got things we must hide
But it’s time to step outside
I’m waiting for the rising sun,
the starting gun, a sign to be my guide
I know we’ve all got different ways and destinies
The road is long and wide
Chorus:
I’m waiting for my life to start again
I’m waiting for my life to start again
I’m waiting for my life
V2:
I’ve never been particularly brave
But I never thought I was a slave
I was doing time inside my head,
Sentenced by the things that you said
Others came and added to my chain,
Forged in pain, they’re not to blame.
Deliver me from shame
I’m waiting for the birds to sing, to grab the ring
Someone to call my name
Chorus:
I’m waiting for my life to start
again
I’m waiting for my life to start again
I'm waiting
for my life
I’m down here in the bomb shelter
wond'ring if it’s safe to go outside
I’ve seen a lot of good folks going down
I’ve seen the casualties of pride
I know we’ve all got things we must hide
But it’s time to step outside
I'm waiting for the rising sun,
the starting gun, A sign to be my guide
I know we’ve all got different ways and destinies
The road is long and wide
Chorus:
I’m waiting for my life to start again
I’m waiting for my life to start again
I'm waiting for my life

All My Life
© April, 2016 by David Nyro
I've been alone and on my own
too many nights to believe in this dream of a home,
someone to hold onto all of my life,
I always knew there was a 'you' in
the world
la la la la la la la la
I always fought against the nature of things
I resisted the paths others seemed to choose for me
I was going to be the one who would never give in
I was hardened on the outside but brittle beneath
It was only a fool's disguise
I was bound and determined to live my own life
Nothing, and no one, could compromise me
Chorus:
I've been alone and on my own too many nights
to believe in this dream of a home,
someone to hold onto all of my life,
I always knew there was a 'you' in
the world la la la la la la la la
How do I unlearn the lessons of life?
Where love came in the night, wielding a knife
I don't want to scare you
I'm scared enough for two
Give me a chance to break through
I've been alone and on my own
too many nights to believe in this dream of a home,
someone to hold onto all of my life,
I always knew there was a 'you' in
the world la la la la la la la la

Bitter Wine
© November 27, 2015 by David Nyro
Oooooo Oooooo Ooooooo Ooooooo
Bitter wine is on my lips
Bitter wine is on my fingertips
There was a line should never crossed
So many lines, and I got lost
Show me you care just a little bit more
I might be drunk but I’m not on the floor
Standing in the shadows - I’m trying not to fall
But if we don’t see the light, we’re going
to lose it all Ooooooo
Ooh, our love is like bitter wine
Poured out my heart, before its time
You know those sour grapes on the vine . . .
Can sweeten so in the warm sunshine
But all the cloudy days got piled up in endless rows
You know those cold, dark shadows
Where nothing grows whoa – oh oh oh -
whoa – oh – oh - oh whoa - oh oh oh
Show me you care just a little bit more
I might be drunk but I’m not on the floor
Standing in the shadows - I’m trying not to fall
But if we don’t see the light, we’re going
to lose it all Oooooo
Bridge:
Stars in love dancing above us
Round and round, intoxicating
Your eyes to mine
We’ve got a secret, the whole world knows,
everything glows in harmony, in Tuscany, where we both proposed,
to love and hold forever, endlessly . . .
Bitter wine is on my lips
Bitter wine is on my fingertips
There was a line should never crossed
So many lines, and I got lost
But all the cloudy days got piled up in endless rows
You know those cold, dark shadows
Where nothing grows
O o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o

Never Saw A Woman
© January, 2016 By David Nyro
Never saw a woman before I saw you
Never saw a woman before I saw you
Ooo oooo
Verse 1:
Some have come and some have gone
Left a mark and then moved on
Some brought the dark and some the sun
I was blinded and I was dumb
But I never saw a woman before I saw you
Woman, I never knew
Never knew a woman before I knew you
It’s true, so true, so I never saw a woman
before I saw you.
I just never (even) knew
No, not even a clue
Oooo Oooooooo
There were those who had it made,
Had all the parts, parts well-played
I was wooed and I was swayed
But in the end, it was just a masquerade
But I never saw a woman before I saw you
Woman, I never knew
Never knew a woman before I knew you
It’s true, so true, so true
Ooo Ooooo
I was wooed and I was swayed
But in the end, it was just a masquerade
But I never saw a woman before I saw you
Woman, I never knew
Never knew a woman before I knew you
It’s true,
Oooo Ooo oooo
Never saw a woman before, I saw you, I saw you,
I never saw a woman before I saw you.
Never saw a woman
I never saw a woman before I saw you.
Never saw a woman

Flying Out Over the Ocean
© March 30, 2017 David
Sailing out over the ocean
Dancing on waves of emotion
Singing my song,
Feeling so strong
Nothing can keep me from shining
now that I’ve found my silver lining
It sparkles so true
It glitters for you
Open your eyes to the wonder of sea and sky
Drink with your senses from the richness of life
Life is a dream where we can fly, fly
Flying out over the ocean
Imagining those lost horizons
like the ones in your eyes,
Seen in your eyes.
Leaving my troubles behind me
Goin’ where no one will find me
You’ll know where I’ll be,
free as the sea
Oh, you know where I’ll be,
free as the sea
Open your eyes to the wonder of sea and sky
Drink with your senses from the richness of life
Life is a dream in which we can fly,
‘Cause life is a dream, where we can fly fly

Anything
©June 2, 2016 By David Nyro
I'd do anything for you
I'd do anything for you
Betray my brother
sell my soul Even quit my rock 'n roll
I'd do anything for you
Ooo ooo ooo ooooo
Walk through fire, swim through ice
Take a bullet, feel the knife
I'd do anything for you
I'd do anything for you
Pull down the sun if you asked me to
Climb ev'ry mountain to the top
Run every race and never stop
And thank my lucky stars for the chance to prove
I'd do anything for you
Instrumental:
I'd do anything for you
There is nothing we can't do
Bring down the sun if we so choose
Promise you before I know
What you're asking me to do
I will trust you with my heart
oo oo oo oo oo ooo
I'd do anything for you
I'd do anything for you
I'd do anything for you

I’ll Step Aside
© 2016 By David Nyro
There was a room, waiting there, unopened
Behind the door, live words, words unspoken
Open the door - Release the words
We know something is terribly broken
I know you’ve wrestled with this beast of changing colors
Caught in the twilight between dusk and dawn
though it might not show,
all those secret battles,
I know, I know.
I never ever wanted you to go,
Oh no, oh no . . .
I’ll step aside, I’ll open wide, I’ll be so nice,
‘cause I REALLY want your happiness
I’ll step aside, I’ll open wide, I’ll be so nice
‘cause I never want to see you suffering
You’ve weighed the world,
measured the light against the dark
We know how much you’ve wished me
to be the things that I am not
I know you’ve loved me
like no other, have tried to see it thru,
but living here in limbo is so very hard to do
I’ll step aside, I’ll open wide, I’ll be so nice,
‘cause I never want to see you suffering
I’ll understand, I’ll be a man, I’ll sacrifice
‘cause I’ve never been a graceful loser,
guess it’s time for me to Bogie up
We became two
I became you.
But then we became all about you
and me separately
I’ll understand, I’ll be a man, I’ll sacrifice,
‘cause I never wanna be the one to keep you
from the one who makes you happier
‘cause I never wanna be the one to keep
you from you from the one who makes you happier
‘cause I never wanna be the one to keep
you from you from the one who makes you happier,
‘cause I MOSTLY want your happiness

Your Face
©July 22, 2010 David Nyro
Your face, your face, I see your face every place
Your face, your face
In evr’y space, I can’t replace, your face
Your face your face your face
It haunts me like a missing child...
It taunts me like a mocking smile
From every door and window frame
Every view is just the same
It’s you...
Your face, your face
Tho’ you are gone without a trace
You linger on, every place
Your face, your face
I glimpse it in a passing car...
It winks at me in a bar
It flashes by on a northbound train...
It falls on me like frozen rain
It’s you...
Instrumental Bridge:
Your face, your face. Unconsciously, I trace; your face, your face
Like some obsessed mental case
It haunts me like a missing child It stalks me like something wild
From evr’y door and window frame,
evr’y face is just the same It’s you.
Your face your face your face your face

Skeleton At The Feast
© May 5, 2016 by David Nyro
The nights are growing colder,
the shadows, growing bolder
I can’t face my face any more.
Choices through the years,
voices on deaf ears
Settling in my bones, to my core.
Hello, Grim Spectre, I see you at my door;
or are you a reflection? I’m not a dancer any more
Chorus:
I don't wanna be . . .
I don't want to be
A skeleton at the feast
Four only children have I raised;
Grown and flown away from me
Beloved others in their graves;
sometimes , I envy that they are free
Mistakes and sour grapes,
I alone have lived to tell the tale
There’s still a place at the table
But I’ve gone beyond the pale
Chorus: I don't want to be . . .
I don't want to be
I don't want to be . . .
A skeleton at the feast
Instrumental:
Chorus:
I don't want to be . . .
I don't want to be . . .
I don't want to be . . .
A skeleton at the feast

Stand
© 2015 by David Nyro
Sister, Brother
I’ve never known another
Father, Mother; from you,
I learned to love the world
Lessons learned
Always believed to be returned
Childhood burned
Inside a mem’ry of another world
Sometimes we have to say: this will not stand!
Sometimes a blood lines drawn in the sand
There comes a time to rise and take a stand, hand in hand!
Flags, half-staff
Cowards unmasked
Knives that flash
Blinding tears around the world
Sometimes we have to say: this will not stand!
Sometimes a blood lines drawn in the sand
There comes a time to rise and take a stand, hand in hand!
How far will it go?
How much do we simply accept.
I can’t forget when I heard the news
This is a fight we must not lose
Oo o o o O o o o O o o o O o o o o
Sister, Brother; all of you are mine
And all of you are me
Until the end of time
Sometimes we have to say: this will not stand!
Sometimes a blood lines drawn in the sand
There comes a time to rise and take a stand, hand in hand!
Sometimes we have to say: this will not stand!
Sometimes a blood lines drawn in the sand
There comes a time to rise and take a stand
Don’t run away
Don’t run away
Don’t run away
Don’t run away
Don’t run away
Don’t run away
Don’t run away
Don’t run away
Don’t
Don’t
