Everything But The Crying
©Jerry Axson

I choose to live alone, a solitary life,
never wanted no kids, never wanted to take no wife,
Just outside the social club, “off the map” so to speak,
a lone king with a heart of gold, still waters run too deep,
This is where the story breaks, this is where it ends,
this is where I meet you, this is where we begin
Somebody’s saying something, while I’m lost in your eyes,
it’s all over now boys’, everything but the crying...

Every word from your lips holds me in place,
I stand in awe - mesmerized by your face,
pull me inside of your sea and let go,
this is the only way I’ll ever know...

Up above the busy streets, looking down on the crowd,
everybody’s got somewhere to go, the music sucks and the traffic’s loud,
Take the time to study each face, really look in the eyes,
somewhere between hope and despair, lies the simple will to survive,
And I’ll become a ghost in this town, never thought it could be,
in my heart and in my soul, it all comes ‘round eventually,
Just a fool by the telephone, waiting for you to call,
standing on the edge of forever, right before the great big fall...

Every word from your lips holds me in place,
I stand in awe - mesmerized by your face,
pull me inside of your sea and let go,
this is the only way you’ll ever know...

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
