But Not Faded

Posted on by Joel D Canfield

you might think it’s in pretty rough shape
it’s wrinkled and tattered and torn
it’s patched up in places with old yellow tape
it’s folded and creased and well-worn

our love makes quite a picture
of the beautiful life that we share
like an old photograph, right here in my heart
but not faded; it’s just seen some wear

yeah, it’s folded in half, down the middle
stuck with tape so it don’t come apart
two smiling faces together
the two of us, joined at the heart

chorus

it’s with me wherever I go
though the edges are ragged and frayed
’cause it keeps getting clearer as time passes by
and I know that it won’t ever fade

chorus, then
but not faded; it’s just seen some wear

Whiteout

Posted on by Joel D Canfield
looks like we’re heading for a whiteout
I can barely see the trees
I’m really hoping that the car starts
’cause that’s beyond my expertise

good thing I’m all stocked up on whiskey
and the fridge is full of beer
don’t need no milk or eggs
since you say you won’t be here

but I could use a little firewood
if you could hang on just a bit
I’ll bring it in from out the back
if this snow’ll ever quit

y’know I’m sad to hear you’re going
like I been saying all along
I sorta thought that you were happy
I sorta guess that I was wrong

I know your feet are kinda restless
there’s things you want to see
but I know that ain’t the reason
in actuality

I been gettin’ on your nerves
and that begets a little doubt
and you begrudge a little dreaming
and that’s why you’re gettin’ out

chorus

looks like we’re headed for a whiteout
already piled up to my ears
I guess I’ll go and get that firewood
and you can grab a couple beers

chorus & outro

The Hillside

Posted on by Joel D Canfield

I remember a hillside
Watching white clouds rolling by
As I lay on the hillside
I was dreaming of you and I

All of my mem’ries surround you
As I lay on the ground you were always there
Mem’ries flow all around you
I’m so glad I found you and the life we share

Summer days in the country
Glimpsing wonder now and then
Let’s go back to the country
And fall under its spell again

chorus [love]

Breezes blow through my mem’ry
With a fragrance of the past
Mem’ries of those afternoons
Dreaming of you as I lay in the grass

I remember a hillside
Watching white clouds rolling by
As I lay on the hillside
I was dreaming of you and I
