My dreams, my tears, my hopes, my fears. Yearning love I immerse. My world in a verse

Spirits Of Alternate Selves
© 2013 Mark Cote
Are we just spirits
are we just spirits
of alternate selves
Are we just spirits
are we just spirits
of alternate selves
Two young hearts looking out at forever
sweetly tasting the lover's wine
running forward with no mirrors
never knew the world they'd find
you took the highway I took the back road
leaving the past far behind
and I don't know
I don't know
why I feel like this
maybe you're
baby you're
hard to dismiss
(chorus) Are we just spirits
are we just spirits
of alternate selves
reeling and careening
remember how we felt
but now we're just spirits
spirits of alternate selves
Two lonely hearts across the ocean
years past the ships we sailed
I'll hold onto your memory
In every breathe I inhale
days go by
nights roll by
I wonder why
you're the one
who brings out
the stars in my eyes
(chorus)

She's Sure A Keeper
© 2017 Mark Cote
I never was one to settle down
I got my kicks from town to town
thought true love could not be found
until the day you came around
my whole world was winds of change
when it settled down I'd rearrange
but like sunlight wakes the night
you showed to me that it ain't right
(chorus) I'm no longer a leaf peeper
man oh man she's sure a keeper
every way I look I'm a believer
and man oh man she's sure a keeper
truck bed cuties don't stay around
when you're down and out they can't be found
while any girl will hold your beer
the one you love will hold your tears
(chorus)

A New Beginning You
© 2017 Mark Cote
nervous steps through singing pines
what lies ahead what's left behind
to learn the song and carry a tune
but not too slow and not too soon
daydream days are they left behind
or still ahead for me to find
can't see tomorrow "til I bathe in today
the words I read are hard to say
(chorus) and so.... it's shiny and new
the snow... has melted to dew
and so... it's shiny and new
I found... a new beginning you
when ivory eyes can see the night
distance follows by morning light
cascading days to weekend pools
follow the sun is what you do
(chorus)
(instrumental)
(bridge) I may never know
where this feeling will go
life may just pretend
that feelings don't end
(chorus)

Derailable Train
© 2014 Mark Cote
(chorus) Sailing out
on a derailable train
nobody knows
where we will go
sailing out
into the unknown
sit right back
and enjoy the show
sailing out
sailing out
look at all the people
smiles on their face
without a trace
of the ride just ahead
nothing was said
it's a beautiful view
sky so blue
painted for you
with words of a mask
don't question don't ask
(chorus)
and when it all ends
who was your friend
only pretend
did you see the signs
will you get out in time
(chorus)
