Start Again
©Jerry Axson
I’m waiting for this weight to lift off from my chest –
so I can pick myself up from the ground and take a deep breath,
and start again, start again, start it all over again…
start it all over again…
Because I don’t know what’s waiting for me up ahead,
I only know what I’m leaving behind –
I’m out of lucky stars and second chances,
I’ve got to make it count this time…
I’m on my way to somewhere else before I even made a mark,
those scratching sounds are my fingernails tearing at the walls of my heart,
from deep inside, deep inside, buried so deep inside…
deep inside of me…

The Ghost Of Hercules
©Jerry Axson
Beneath these endless stars,
silence turns and folds,
on a long and empty road,
where the stones swallow me down whole -
The ghost of Hercules watches over me,
it will take all his strength to set my poor heart free,
The chains he broke from across my chest -
were drawn and bound so tight...
the ghost of Hercules saved my life tonight...
The angry planets scream revenge beyond the milky way,
faster than the speed of light I burn another day,
up from these depths I rise in great despair,
to catch a glimpse of you but you’re not there -
the ghost of Hercules saved my life tonight...
the ghost of Hercules saved my life tonight...
the ghost of Hercules saved my life tonight...

The Long Haul In-between
©Jerry Axson
No, I don’t want to talk about it,
do I have to explain?,
you would not understand,
why I feel so ashamed – yes, I do…
It’s not that I don’t love you –
even though that’s how it seems,
it’s not the mountains or the valley’s,
but the long haul in-between…
you and me…
So you’ve made your decision,
we both have to live with that,
say goodbye to tender mercy,
she aint’ never coming back – and that’s a fact…
it’s the long haul in-between…
…You and me…
it’s the long haul in-between…
…You and me…
it’s the long haul in-between…
…You and me…
it’s the long haul in-between…
…You and me…

Ada Lovelace
©Jerry Axson
Late nights at home with your number sets,
when you take no chances there are no regrets,
your comprehension of math penetrates my soul -
you’ve forgotten more than most will ever know…
Lonely wallflower with a lovely view,
a social disaster but you’ll see this through,
I heard you ran through the rain all the way back home –
tears streaming down your face of cold, pale stone…
Don’t look back they’ll only break your heart –
turn into the wind before it rips you apart,
open up your sails and let the full gale in,
you’ll never really know until you start to begin,
Father has died and he took with him his name –
Mother will follow and break these chains,
time will heal and you will find love,
hold on for now until you rise above…this…
Late nights at home with your number sets,
when you take no chances there are no regrets,
your comprehension of math penetrates my soul -
you’ve forgotten more than most will ever know…
Ada…Lovelace…

Tampa Bay Blues (Mako Shark)
©Jerry Axson
Tell me why I’m hangin’ around here any ole’ way?
my mouth is dry like I’m chewin’ on cotton – I got nothin’ to say,
she wouldn’t notice if she woke up tomorrow and I was long time gone,
I might as well buy a one way ticket and get myself home…
She circles the bed like a Mako Shark –
Tampa Bay Blues…
Someone should save me but I aint’ got the heart!
Tampa Bay Blues…
…Tampa Bay Blues…
Tell me why I’m stuck down in Tampa any ole’ way?
my friends are gone but I’m still holdin’ on for a better day,
left to my own devices I get lost in those big green eyes,
I’m just a fool in a puddle of tears drowning in her lies…
She circles the bed like a Mako Shark –
Tampa Bay Blues…
Someone should save me but I aint’ got the heart!
Tampa Bay Blues…
She circles the bed like a Mako Shark –
Tampa Bay Blues…
Someone should save me but I aint’ got the heart!
Tampa Bay Blues…

Jerry Axson Columbia, South Carolina
To me simplicity is the root of all great thoughts. The secret thrill for me, the architect, is delivering that thought with unobtrusive complexity. Writing songs and composing music satisfy my soul and because of this I know exactly what I am designed to do, it’s just that simple. - Jerry Axson ... more
