When Monday Morning Comes Around

© 2011 Mark Cote

with a painful hello goodbye
2 shattered hearts too proud to cry
anymore

with plastic lips an empty stare
emotions lost into the air
a silent shore

as the plane lifts off to the sky
those paper dreams they say goodbye
a closing door

(chorus) When Monday morning comes around
                the love we knew will not be found
                it'll just be a memory
                a distant echoed melody
                when Monday morning comes around

In your eyes little girl
it's candy canes and Disney World
it's make believe

Humpty Dumpty lost his crown
Cinderella goes to town
one more time

baby girl one day you'll know
what moms and dads try not to show
no nursery rhyme

(chorus)
(instrumental)

with plastic lips an empty stare
emotions lost into the air
a silent shore

as the plane lifts off to the sky
those paper dreams they say goodbye
a closing door

(chorus)

You Isn't You

(chorus) ain't it funny
                ain't it funny
                ain't it funny
                the sun isn't sunny now
                ain't it funny
                ain't it funny
                ain't it funny
                when you isn't you...

a long time ago
April winds would blow
and leave her blossoms behind
but when the sky turns red
it clouds your head
and seems so hard to find

(chorus)

a long time ago
summer river would flow
seems no end in sight
when the well ran dry
away she'd fly
and now it's lonely white

(chorus)

In The Arms Of Another Man

© 2011 Mark Cote

with the ring on your hand you know
you should never think of letting go
but in the words of a poet
baby you know it
the words taste so sweet

the love you're lookin' to find
is in front of you open the blinds
the touch of an artist's brush
you felt a crush
of warming shades

(chorus) keep keep, keep on searching
                keep keep, keep sifting the sand
                what you seek you cannot find
                in the arms of another man

years before you turned away
you saw the sun on a cloudy day
did the lightning flash
much too fast
turn your world around

(chorus)

Princess From The Rain

Wingless angel
couldn't fly away
when the devil's hand clawed at you
there wasn't much that you could do
but hope and pray
for a sunny day

long road up
from the undertow
like a robin knows what to sing
little angel you'll grow your wings
and fly away
is what I would say

(chorus) Princess from the rain
                you now hold the reins
                watch the sky appear
                from the years and years
                you've made it here at last
                princess...
                princess from the rain

here's your carriage
here's your wand
as I sit and watch your dreams come true
I knew the strength was inside of you
I'm proud to say
you'll be okay

(chorus)

Neon Religion

Smile at the glittering light
glossy glow there in your eyes
as reality goes
flashing by

sing the song of someone else
read the book on a dusty shelf
do your words
all run dry

don't question what's said to you
don't want to win don't want to lose
when the rainbow's gone
don't ask why

(chorus) Go on and chase your neon religion
                go on and follow the velvet sign
                listen to what the mockingbirds say
                when your world falls down
                they fly away

when you learn to see
and walk on your own
you'll see the colors
you've never known

your mind is unique to you
choose to use it it's up to you
or reality goes
flashing by

(chorus)
