Lyrics

Nothing but the Blues

by Dave Draper  ©  2002483 words

Nothing but the Blues

When you’re fever’s running high
and you’re reaching for the sky
There is nowhere else to go
there is nothing left to lose
Nothing but the blues
and you’re still trying
to chase them all away

Stardust

by Dave Draper  ©  1987250 words

Stardust

It should come as no surprise
To see the nowhere man
Going round in crazy circles
Caught up in the master plan

But let me put you wise
Plans don’t mean a thing
Cos when you’re out here in the open
You can see through everything

Dragon’s Tooth

by Dave Draper  ©  1970-78 -2012275 words

Dragon’s Tooth

I face the sun with anti-glare
I trace the wizard to his lair
He hides in regions in between
Where other eyes have never seen
Beyond the spectrum of known truth
Deep within the dragon’s tooth

You Put Me Down

by Dave Draper  ©  2002204 words

You Put Me Down

I’m a man whose heart is true
And I gave my heart to you
But you put me down
I’m a man whose heart is true
And I gave my heart to you
But you put me down

Second Fiddle

by Dave Draper  ©  2002226 words

Second Fiddle

Don’t want your lies
And I don’t want your pain
Don’t want to hear
That he’s left you again
I’m getting tired of it, baby
Tired of it, just being used

Cold Winter’s Night

by Dave Draper  ©  2002238 words

Cold Winter’s Night

A cold winter’s night
Way below zero
Lights from the town
Frost on my window
Traffic goes by
Down on the highway
Headlights that stretch
And then fade away
