Unknowns and Whatevers Part I
Tighten the old belt
Another hole
Done that
No like strangers
In my kitchen
Away, away

“I Hope You Dance” by Tia Sillers Lovin’ might be a mistake But it’s worth making Don’t let some hell bent heart Leave you bitter When you come close to selling out Reconsider Give the heavens above More than just a passing glance And when you get the choice to sit it out or…
Whatever meaning This time of year holds for you Whether it’s entertaining Seeing your house become a zoo Or thinking of people lost And feeling kind of blue I wish for you love and peace In all your many days Whatever happens good or bad Remember, it’s only a faze Tomorrow’s a new day It’s…
