All Right

Here is the story:
prodigal son.
For twenty years now,
I've been on the run.
If I knew just what you wanted,
I'd run the other way...
I was so bitter.
You were never there.
You called it love,
but it
seemed you didn't care.
If you showed me the direction,
I'd run the other way...
(I just needed you to)
lay down beside me
and
tell me that everything is all right...
"It's all right - when you're feeling helpless."
"It's all right - everybody's got their hard times."
"It's all right - when you're feeling helpless."
"It's all right..."
You were so worried -
what the people saw.
Instead of family,
you focused on the walls.
If you showed me what you wanted,
I'd run the other way...
We kept pretending
that it would work itself out.
Communication
is what it's all about.
If you showed me the direction,
I'd run the other way...
chorus
I can't keep on running,
my soul is so tired...
double chorus...

Just Beyond the Past
04:55
|

|
Did you know,
I'm waking alone -
reaching out for someone who's
not in this bed.
Did you know,
I'm blaming myself -
regret all the things
we never did or said.
You said
there would never come this day.
You said
there would always be a place for me to stay.
Must forget you...
Just beyond the past, there's a future.
Did you know,
I'm haunted by you -
by the scent of your skin
adrift in the stale autumn wind.
Did you know,
I'm looking again -
but all I've found are
fading memories of an old girlfriend.
You said
it would always be the same.
You said
there would never be the slightest chance of rain.
Must forget you...
Just beyond the past, there's a future.
I believe
somewhere in time there's a place for me -
someone who can hold my dreams
I do believe -
I must forget you...
Just beyond the past, there's a future.

Life Is...
03:23
|

Such a terrible day.
Rain washes down my face.
Blue sky's been raped by the gray -
there's nothing.
Then, something catches my eye.
The most beautiful woman just walked by -
I'm not quite sure if it's love but...
Life is...good
Sit on the plastic/wood bench.
Think of all the money I've spent.
Try to save my self confidence
for one more day
(one more day).
Try to imagine life without her -
but with her life is... so good.
I think I'm falling in love.
Life is...good
I wonder
if I wake up
from this dream,
will she still be there?
The perfect fantasy
only her and me
could ever be this happy.
Please try to understand,
with the touch of her hand
she heals me.
What more can i say?
She's made my life so...good
Life is...good
(for a minute)

Occupy
03:27

Sing your pretty song boy.
Make them all believe.
Better prove yourself,
before there's someone new on your scene...
Better make your move boy -
and hope to God it shines -
or guaranteed the next you'd read
there's nothing left to occupy your time.
Ooh, No, No, No, No...
Occupy
Sign the dotted line boy -
and all your dreams come true.
There's 98% for us
and 2 for you.
Does that sound cool?
Ooh, don't miss your chance boy -
defining moments and times.
"Who do you trust,"
"Don't miss your bus,"
"Just take a chance and occupy our time."
Ooh, No, No, No, No...
Occupy
Where does he go when you discard him -
out among the walking dead?
The moment you disregard him -
you'll forget each word he ever said?
I guess he should be grateful,
his lifelong dreams you've realized.
Just melt his golden records
and find a new venue to occupy...
Ooh, No, No, No, No...
Occupy

Eternity
03:58
|

|
I've got this
new testament
of what I do believe.
So tired of the bitterness,
judgment and hypocrisy.
You say the end is drawing near,
well you should know -
you live each day in fear.
You've misconstrued the Good Advice
and now you've paid the sacrifice -
no life.
Where do we go from here...
I've got this
new testament
of what I do believe.
You talk of a freedom,
but only the shackles I see.
You say that you can save my soul.
When did you obtain so much control
(of supernatural things)?
Baptized in a skeptic's pool,
a wise man
or the world's most tragic fool?
Where do we go from here...
When the trumpet blows
I often wonder where I'd go.
Would I wish my life back
and
choose to walk the righteous path?
I wonder what I'd see-
for would the father pass by me?
Look out in disbelief -
I'm looking through eternity
Looking through eternity...
Where do we go from here...

Waiting For Wings
05:13
|
|||
|
Lord I want to thank you,
for sending her my way.
She gives me love
in the hard times -
chases my clouds away.
I never believed in true love
but this girl has opened my eyes.
She's waiting for wings.
Waiting for a chance to fly.
Waiting for wings...
Lord, I want to ask you -
how could you stand to have
her gone from your side?
Because I know
I could not make it -
and you should know by now
that I would never try.
I never believed in true love
but this girl has opened my eyes.
She's waiting for wings.
Waiting for a chance to fly.
Waiting for wings...
Lord, I want to ask you -
and I know this is selfish of me...
Lord, I know that she's ready
(but please...)
make her wait a little longer.

Secrets of the Unseen
03:48

Relax my child,
just wait a while.
No need to rush your destiny.
Though the waiting
can be so discouraging -
in time you'll have the strength you need.
"
Please don't leave me in the dark.
Please don't leave hanging on
to the hem of your garment.
Please don't leave me...
"
When the pupil's ready
the teacher will come...
Though sometimes
you will try
and you'll fail to see.
Everything has its
due time and reasoning.
In that place,
I know it's
hard for you to see.
Your time will come if you
keep waiting patiently.
"
Please don't leave me in the dark.
Please don't leave me hanging on
to the hem of your garment.
Please don't leave me...
"
When the pupil's ready
the teacher will come...
I'm noticing the synchronicity.
I'm listening to the secrets of the unseen.
I'm building the inner energy.
I'm listening...
"When the pupil's ready
the teacher will come..."

Norma's Diner
05:05

Driving down 95 -
North Carolina on my side.
Singer on the radio
sings of lovin' he will never know.
I need some food to feed
this hunger deep inside
I need someone to guide me
on this lonely ride -
tell me it's all right...
(Is everything all right?)
Headin' down the road,
down to Norma's Diner.
I know,
I'll be fed for sure
Waiting 'til the light turns green
'cause I've been slowed by what I've seen.
If that singer on the radio
sings that song again I think I'll blow!
I need someone to read
me some poetry.
Words that break the ice
and set my spirit free
with meaning.
(So what's the meaning?)
Headin' down the road,
down to Norma's Diner.
I know,
I'll be fed for sure.
I'm runnin' on empty.
Hope I make it home.
I can see now that the key
to my completion
lies there...
At Norma's Diner
I know, I'll be fed for sure.

Best of Me
04:44
|
|||
|
Won't let you get the
best of me this time...
No, I won't let you get the
best of me...
You've been tryin' so long -
to make me see your point of view.
Why must you?
Don't you realize,
that I've got my own
realities inside me?
Won't let you get the
best of me this time...
No, I won't let you get the
best of me...
Maybe we should just agree -
that we will never see,
willingly, objectively.
Can't you recognize,
that I've got my own
responsibility
to be me?
Won't let you get the
best of me this time...
No, I won't let you get the
best of me...
If you're in the right
show me the light.
Don't try to get the
best of me this time...
I won't let you get the best of me...

Honestly
04:32
|

|
Honestly,
did you think it'd last forever?
Could this fantasy live?
Honestly,
could this fairy tale survive?
There are times
when I'm feeling too
comfortable right beside you.
Can't help thinking
this is so unfair -
that this love affair
can't last forever.
Yeah, I know,
you must go.
So honestly,
did you think there was a future?
Could the dream that we dreamed go on and on?
and honestly,
could you keep this locked inside?
There are moments
when I hope that you'll
up and surprise me
and stay a little while longer.
Can't help thinking
this is so unfair -
that this love affair can't last forever.
I know,
you must go.
Don't make me remember -
how your body felt
laying next to mine.
Don't make me recall,
I love you.
Does he love you?
Yeah, I know,
you must go...
So, go on, my lover.
Go on, my friend.
Go on, my lady.
Go on, again...

Jesse Correll Nashville, Tennessee
Inner Shibori is Jesse's fourth record. The 13-song release is an album oozing luxury and longing. The production approach; sophisticated and tastefully sentimental songs; and the smooth musicianship recalls Frank Sinatra and Chet Baker's lonely balladeering, and the type of recordings made at Capital Studios in Hollywood during the 1950s and 1960s. ... more
