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 04:54
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

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 04:51
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
