Don't Let The Well Run Dry


© 2019 Mark Cote

(chorus) don't let
                  don't let
                  the well run dry
                  don't let
                  don't let
                  the well run dry
                  inspiration lies all around
                  though I can't see
                  inspiration plays all around
                  but I'm off-key

in a clouded mind
looking all about
wanting Spring again
wanna scream and shout

(chorus)

in the colored eyes
every shade and hue
nothing looks old
everything is new

(chorus)

flying up so high
can describe it one and all
will it ever last
worried about the fall

(chorus)

Busy Bee

© 2019 Mark Cote

minds all a jumble
tossing and tumbled
trying to take it all in

sort in my mind
and leave it behind
and take the best part with me

(bridge) collecting words you say
         and storing them away
         sharp ones they scar
         are hurting a heart
         But I don't say a thing

(chorus) from flower to flower
         I'm a
         busy bee
         don't feel so sour
         just wait and see
         when....
         I feel the heat
         I don't
         bend and cower
         or let it in

taste sweet or sour
either gives you power
which one do you choose?

the heat can consume
and marry your doom
your lost now in time and space

but see it ahead
and avoid all the dread
it's not who you want to be

(chorus)

Little Blue Ford



© 2019 Mark Cote

thought I knew what I want
but something didn't feel right
the color
the fit was tight

had a car inside my head
but I knew I'd have to wait
if it's meant to be it's fate

(chorus) focus focus
                  on my little blue Ford
                  with 10 speakers she won't keep you bored
                  give her some gas
                  put it to the floor
                  yeah that little blue streak
                  is my little blue Ford

Made the best of what I had
new speakers had the sound
but what was missing I hadn't found

on that day I had no regrets
when I looked at both cars
this one felt more like me
and I knew it's meant to be

(chorus)

she's not the fastest
she's not the loudest
but sitting in her
I'm feeling my proudest

(chorus)
