Times Run OutI dont know if the words really take effect without the light fingerpicking of a guitar in the background, but I've always liked the imagery of this balladLike a thread that thins down the lineTimes run outTimes run out on us this ....time

A skunk is a punkWhen he lets out his junk Fine... I'll just stick with instrumentals if that's the way you feel.

From "A Matter of Time," a softly sung, poignant break-up song:As I look into your worldI see a beautiful little girlShe's got her daddy's eyesBut they don't match mineSome painfully ironic context: After I wrote this song, the girl for whom it was written found out she couldn't have kids, making it that much harder for her to listen to.The happy, even more ironic ending: She and I just had a healthy baby girl together!

OK, here are some... But she walks byAnd there's a sudden changeLike a thousand cups of coffeeInjected in my veins from "Adrenaline" Been obsessed with the sunshineI compulsively avoid the shadeCos I don't want my tan to fade, noI don't want my tan to fadeI got lines down my faceAnd circles under my eyesYou don't see them?? talking to my shrink in "Rainy Tuesday" Casey
