A Girl That I Remember 02:50

A Girl That I Remember © 2006 Neil LoRé There’s a girl that I remember From the dream last night in black and white A movie queen in a moving scene She haunts my night The morning light takes her away And all my might can’t make her stay But she’s so real to me All I want is to say her name I see her in the movies from time to time I know that it is she Some times she brushes by my face I feel As young as I do free There’s a girl that I remember A girl that I remember Even though I never met her The girl that I remember All my life her cameo Has rocked my lonely world Is she apparition, ‘lucination Ghost or girl? I fell in love so many times With characters in story lines In a script - where I am gripped I’ve lost my worried mind I fell in love with her so many times She’s every where I turn In memories, in songs, in words that rhyme On the silver screen this time There’s a girl that I remember A girl that I remember Even though I never met her The girl that I remember

Enid © 2005 Neil LoRe Enid – You know your sadness is nothing new Listen to me, Enid - I know I’ve felt a lot like you do And it never really goes away And it may not be right to say But you’ll find out in time that it’s okay I know there’s a fire burning inside your young girl’s heart You know it happens to us all it happens to us all Enid - Please don’t you cry no more For Enid - There’s love right outside your door And love is gonna bring you higher It’s gonna set your world on fire And all of it will last down to the wire And Enid - Love will show you your real self I know there’s a fire burning in your young girl’s heart You know it happens to us all it happens to us all We could live a million years We could cry a billion tears and not learn one thing But the more you learn the less you understand The things inside that sing And Enid I love to hear you sing There’s a song inside us all you know it happens to us all Enid - I can’t live it through for you But if there’s anything that I can do I’ll be there on cue Just call on me and I’ll help pull you through I know there’s a fire still burning, still burning You know it happens to us all it happens to us all Enid – I’d never steer you wrong And Enid – Remember you’ll always have this song, song, song I’d never steer you wrong, wrong, wrong

Live by the Gun 04:55

Live by the Gun © 2004 Neil LoRé Looking across this country called America I see two faces very different from each other In one hand a gun the other holds a rosary One hand kills while the other is preaching on TV A gun in the closet - A gun in the den Just look at the family That just lost again my friend Live by the Gun - Die by the Gun Why do we need so many guns? Live by the Gun - Die by the Gun Nothing changes in the long run We’re the ones who own the most handguns With the highest rate of shooting death hands down Our neighbor to the north owns ‘bout as many guns But in no way threatens to steal our killing crown So is it the guns? Or is it the Americans Come calling With our taste for killing we die by the gun Live by the Gun - Die by the Gun See the cowards playing with their guns Live by the Gun - Die by the Gun Nothing changes in the long run Maybe it’s really not the guns themselves But they don’t help us in the land of the hate Maybe they really have no place on the shelves But we better figure ourselves out - Before it’s too late We glorify the gun and shun diplomacy Cries for peace will forever drown in war’s debris…After all Man is a killer - Man is a taker But he’s on the run from what he does not see And he dies by the gun Live by the Love, Die by the Love The killing would end if we really knew Love Live by the Love, Die by the Love All things change in the light of the Love I’ll say it again All things change in the light of the Love What really changes with another flash of a gun? All things change in the light. All things change in the light of the love All things change in the light of the truth All things change… …in the light.

An Ocean Away 03:30

An Ocean Away © 2009-2016 Neil LoRé What can I do to make it right? You're oceans away – from me tonight Life used to be so simple, love used to be so easy Now I look in the mirror and try to be sure that it's me that I see I'm sure the reflection is me There in the water that's me - the one I remember One day I'm all out gleaming - And the next day screaming No even keel here - smiles then tears Maybe I'll just abandon - All the work I believed in How can I say that? What I've become? An ocean away An ocean of time Rivers of tears Too much desert for me I have the weight of the world on my shoulders tonight My camera phone won’t make it all right I laugh at the carnage I see Just to cope with the gravity So I must wear a smile And count down the miles and days 'til I'm free Until I can ride and be free 'til you and I can be free - an ocean away One day I'm all out gleaming - And the next day screaming No even keel here - smiles then tears Maybe I'll just abandon - All the work I believed in How can I say that? What I've become? I had the strength if I only could find it again I can recall letting nothing get to me Just an ocean away

Imaginary Jesus © 2008-2016 Neil LoRe Imaginary Jesus - turning water into wine Walks upon water - have we witnessed the divine, somehow… We could use some magic tricks, right here, right now Imaginary Jesus - you know it's been a long, long time The faithful and the followers, they're still waiting for a sign But I don't think you're coming back - any time soon I think you died that day under a Calvary moon You either lie to yourself Turning man into god or see him as every man I think he would have liked that I think the man Jesus would have liked me for that Imaginary Jesus - they fight wars over you - and they use you Killing in your name - they think they've got you on their side Believe they're heaven bound – as they choose up sides They can't forgive, think they're saved and right And want to tell us how to live our lives

Too Many People © 2008 Neil LoRé As I was walking Through my Never Never Land I think I heard a ghost talk to me By the sea and sand. & he told me a story From an ancient day Of a man who knew the future And who went on to say That we will grow in numbers Till we get into each other’s way And the wars will be fought with weapons Designed to take the light of day. Because there’s too many people Too many people The air is unhealthy & so is the food The water’s unclean & the soil is too The sun’s melanoma – dying to get ya How can all of these nightmares - still not upset ya? Too many people, too many people As I was flying across the Great Divide I sat next to an angel crying so I asked her why She told me a sad story about what’s to come Of a day when there would be no water And a day when there would be no food Chorus 2 Because there’s Too Many People, Too many people Too many airplanes - Too many Humvees Too many fast trains – to many SUVees Too many jailers - Too many prisons Too many people with too many isms Too many people – all in on the game Of trying to make people all think the same The earth is rich and abundant How we take is repugnant Yet she is resilient She could very well end our existence Too many floodlights blurring the stars Too many billboards blocking the forest Too many engines disturbing the peace Too many living beyond their own means Too many boats hassling with fishes Too many people got too many wishes Too many power lines crossing the sky Too many living who just don’t know why Too many people As I was lying in my bed I awoke with an image dancing above my head And she danced for me a story About the present day Of how I am to tell this story In my own particular way Too many people

Love has gone away © 2009-2016 Neil LoRé Love has gone today – Guess I'll be on my way The broken promises of yesterday – Have sent our love away Love has gone away Why fool ourselves when we know that for sure Love has gone away You say my meaning isn’t clear - You hear only what you want to hear Pretending for the sake of time - but it’s time to read the signs Love has gone away Why fool ourselves when we know that for sure Love has gone away Love takes you by surprise – Puts starlight in your eyes We all pay the price for reaching to the skies One by one the tears fall from our eyes The light has gone from sight and we're left to ask why Day by day the tears fall from our eyes I’m just doing time – A poem that’s lost its rhyme Why keep me hanging on? - When love has come and gone. Love has gone away - Love has gone today Why fool ourselves when we know that for sure That love has gone away

Let’s Go Flying © 2010-2016 Neil LoRé Here’s a song for the misfit, the loser, and the clown A song for the tragic - figures underground Trying hard - not to make a sound The weak, misguided children of misfortune The lonely, rejected souls that are out of tune Whose time has come too soon Come with us we’ll go flying ‘Cause we fell each time before Now’s the time to fly higher Pick ourselves up off the floor Open a brand new door A song for the loner, the prisoner and the pawn A song for the roamer, never home before the dawn Listening to this lonely song Come with us we’ll go flying You have no need to fear We’ll find the forgiveness That was so hard to find down here We know there’s none down here Maker, creator - Your children are in need right here Taker, forsaker - Your answers are a bit unclear There’s something wrong with things down here But you don’t have the ears to hear Free, me from this nightmare, Free, me from your warfare Free, me from the bias Free, me from the pious Let’s go flying, we’ll be rising, high above it, ad lib

The Real Questions © 2010-2016 Neil LoRé Life is long Love is strong Man is weak And he's got it all wrong I've been here And I've been there Still nowhere But I look everywhere Atoms at the heart of everything Strangeness, Charm, and Super Strings Seems a whole lot of nothing to me The real questions will never be answered for me Seems a whole lot of nothing to me The real questions will never be answered for me So why do I care What's really there Is it time to forgive Or time to forget The only things That I could find That mean anything Are light and love Atoms at the heart of everything Strangeness, Charm, and Super Strings Seems a whole lot of nothing to me The real questions will never be answered for me Seems a whole lot of nothing to me The real questions will never be answered for me The real questions will never be answered for me
