I Missed The Boat

© 2012 Mark Cote

On the page I see your face
little girl dancing out in the sun
but the choices that we made
and the lives that we've become

at the crossroads we were scared
but time kept marching on and on
in the wind there are my words
in my heart there is your song

(chorus) I missed the boat
                now it's gone
                but the memory lingers on
                like a wave in my mind
                comes back to me all the time

as rainy tears wash on by
see the rainbow just out of reach
regrets of yesterday
as I sit out on the beach

when I dream I think of you
do you dream and think of me

(chorus)

I'll Take It On The Chin

This roller coaster ride is a merry go round
sometimes we're up sometimes we're down
my weary tears fall from your sky
but when the magic is there it's the 4th of July

the tide it comes, the tide it goes

the lonely moon can't escape the day
just like us it can't run away
there's something between us we don't know
we sometimes leave but we don't go

the tide it comes the tide it goes

(chorus) it may be a sin from where we've been
                 maybe bizarre from where we are
                what do I do about me and you
                what do I do with a girl like you
                considering where we've been
                I'll take it on the chin

did you dream up me did I dream up you
taken from the best in what we do
see it in your eyes see it in mine
as far and near as the sunshine

the tide it comes the tide it goes

(chorus)

Wherever You Go

(intro)

Wherever you go
no matter how far
my love is around you

(instrumental)

Wherever you go
no matter how far
my love is around you
Wherever you go
no matter how far
my love will surround you

when the day has got you down
feel the world is upside down
when you wanna wear a frown
just look around
the world without a sound
leaves your head spinning round
sometimes this life will
make you feel that way

don't look down
just look up
look inside
don't look down
just look up
look inside

I am there
by your side

drying a blue tear
dance away your fear
whenever you need me
I am with you

drying a blue tear
dance away your fear
whenever you need me
I am with you

Wherever you go
no matter how far
my love will surround you

smiles you thought that you knew
when they walk away from you
and the ones that you loved
leave you astray
memories are rustic blue
thoughts of me thoughts of you
whatever you go through
just tell yourself

don't look down
just look up
look inside

drying a blue tear
dance away your fear
whenever you need me
I am with you

drying a blue tear
dance away your fear
whenever you need me
I am with you

(instrumental)

Wherever you go
no matter how far
my love is around you
Wherever you go
no matter how far
my love will surround you

drying a blue tear
dance away your fear
whenever you need me
I am with you

(repeat to fade)

Carry Me Away

© 2011 Mark Cote

without a dawn, a colorless sky
just a freeze in June
without a flower, just a cold blue sea
under a lonely moon

treading water in a hurricane
I think of you

without a song in our heart
only empty sounds
Love's a forgotten word

when I think I can't pull it through
I think of you

(chorus) I know I'll never see you
                know I'll never reach you
                but you carry me away...
                carry me away

daydreaming boy, with wheels on the road
tomorrow is born
mirrors are gone, the road doesn't end
and this path has been worn

treading water in a hurricane
I think of you

(chorus)

missing a sign on the road
I've got nowhere to go
I've got nowhere to hide

when I think I can't pull it through
I think of you

(chorus)
