You're Gonna Drive Me Sane



© 2016 Mark Cote

this whirlwind life of a single man
playboy mansion mixed with Disneyland
burning the candle at both ends
crazy hearts and fair-weather friends

shy-eyed girl looked my way
dreamer's mind I have to say
turned my world upside-down
without a word without a sound

(chorus) you're gonna drive me
                     you're gonna drive me
                     you're gonna drive me sane
                     make me want to
                     again and again
                     you're gonna drive me
                     you're gonna drive me
                     you're gonna drive me sane

love could never hold me down
always flew to not be found
but you knew what I ran from
and cradled it in the wings of a dove

(chorus)

Hello Yesterways



© 2013 Mark Cote

mirrored soul of days gone by
I saddle up and take a ride
down that old forgotten road
down the road nobody knows

see the child playing in the sun
bathed in colors of summer fun
that is what I used to be
that is what I used to be

(chorus) Oh, hello yesterday
                  oh, hello yesterways
                  Yesterday is all in you
                  yesterday is all in me

fascination of today
growing younger with every day
the spirit you don't outgrow
the spirit some may never show

(chorus)

time flies when life's standing still
If you don't guide it nobody will
sleep is empty without a dream
shadows hollow now it may seem

that is what I used to be
that is what I used to be

(chorus)
