Waiting Is:
jeff irick - vocals and guitar
just some thoughts....
waiting is - I waited
you can never tell - to this day
la faute - a series of mistakes
trapped - she was
burning ice - an adventure
no dice - no kidding
for what it's worth - at the moment
reflections - I found her
words of no importance - nuff said
sailing in the past - moving on
thanks for taking the time

Waiting Is
(By Jeff Irick 2004)
It seems you ve touched my soul again.
I can t pretend a new life to begin.
The first meeting might have been the last,
But seeing you I now begin to grasp.
I now begin to know, I now begin to grow .
I was told that waiting is,
but sometimes you can t wait .
Then it s too late, you jump the gun.
Did I call you too soon?
Did I give away my hand?
Will you walk with me, will you talk with me.
Could I embrace your soul in the sand?
I was told that waiting is,
but sometimes you can t wait .
Then it s too late, did I jump the gun.
So, will you walk with me, will you talk with me.
Will you take my hand
Will you take my hand.
Will you take my hand my hand .
Will you take my hand.

You can never tell
(By Jeff Irick 2004)
Sweatshirts and white t-shirts,
is the only fashion I know today.
And you know it wasn t long ago,
when I wanted to be the star in a picture show.
But I ll just follow JT....
he s a walking mans, got a plan for me
And I ll follow JT....
cause he sung about the fire and rain
And he understands the pain
of a man like me.
Now there s something fine
under the falling sky,
Bout the lessons learned
of a love gone by.
Now don t be sad,
cause it s time for you to go.
Just look back on the years,
can t you see how our love has grown
So spread your wings now, it s time
time to give them a show.
You see now Rocky you taught me well,
You may wish I d go to hell.
But I m your friend for life,
spread wings take flight
And you know, you can never tell.
You see my friend you taught me well
You may wish I d go to hell.
But I m your friend for life,
spread wings take flight
And you know, you can never tell.
And you know, you can never tell.

La Faute
(By Jeff Irick 2004)
Taxi rolls in, and no cares where you ve been
And you just wish she d roll over
and talk to you
So, you could explain away the smell of
stale perfume....
Words are not spoken
Silence never broken,
Just her heart .
And the morning light shines in
to a note pinned pillow where she had been.
And it read good-bye; I tried to talk to you
But you were so far gone
you slept the whole night through .
Whispering somebody s name.
So now it s as it was before...
an empty house...
With a bed that s too big for me.
Well hey you know now that s alright,
Cause I ll just sit here in the
quiet of the night.
Words are not spoken
Silence never broken,
Just her heart just my heart.

Trapped
(Music by Jeff Irick 2004)
(Words by Jeff Irick and
Susan Irick 2004)
Trapped . in a house
I can walk outside,
but walking brings me back.
To the place, where I stay
...trapped inside myself.
I can talk but talking gets me nowhere.
It brings back, to myself.
Trapped inside my fears.
And crying gets me nowhere,
But the walls are moving in .
I can t get out and you can t get in.
And please don t try to set me free.
And it s time for you to let me be.
Cause I m just a prisoner, of my words.
I m just a prisoner, of my words.
Trapped . But talking gets me nowhere
It brings back, to myself.
Trapped inside myself.

Burning Ice
(By Jeff Irick 2004)
The Angel and the Teaser, always crowd pleasers
Walking down the avenue, trading shots
Of their favorite brew .
The boys walk in talking dirty
Ladies sitten round oh they sure look pretty
qYou see the boys trying to score
like they did oh the night before
But they soon tire of the game.
So they go to see Miss Molly
They tell me she s easy to meet
And once you get to know her you know defeat.
But those boys have lost their crown
So they take Miss Molly down
Whooa take her down, take her down.
Now I can t speak for the Angel
Though he knows his friends heart well
And he knows the day that Teaser fell
For you see he had a lady not so long ago
And on life and laughter they would dine .
Until one day, she said,
"I think you ve lost your mind"
"For how could love me in such a short time ."
So now he walks down those roads
Those roads of burning ice and he s
Walked down those roads not once
He s walked them twice.
Yes he s walked down those roads
Those roads of burning ice
Yes and for your love
He d walk them not once...
He d walk them twice
Yes and for your love
just a little taste of your love
Yes and for your love,
...he d walk them not once, but twice.
For just a little taste of your love
...he d walk them twice.
For just a little taste of your love
...he d walk them twice.
For just a little taste of your love
...he d walk them twice.

No Dice
(By Jeff Irick 2004)
I got excited and I called her twice
And I asked her how she been
Well she told me of the things
she d done that day .
And she said thanks for the call.
It s been nice to talk to you,
but I think you know
Ahhh the answer is no dice.
Well I get up when the sun goes down,
n people say I m crazy.
Well if they new what I d been through.
Then maybe they d take the time,
to see what s been on my mind.
7 come 11 this could be my lucky night.
7 come 11 oh is she gonna take me to paradise.
Now I hadn t seen her in a couple of years.
So I thought as I drove on through the night.
Old memories flashed, ah the beauty of the past.
Now she was a beauty in my past.
Yea, she was a beauty in my past.
Well I drove up she said, hi how ya been
And would you like to come on in now
Maybe we talk for awhile
It s been such a long, long time since I seen you smile.
I said, hey girl, oh lets take a chance
And maybe start a new romance
You smile for me and I ll smile for you
Well there ain t no telling what we could do oooooh.
7 come 11 this could be my lucky night
7 come 11 oh is she gonna take me to paradise.
Well come on now baby won t you roll, the dice.

For what it's worth
(By Jeff Irick 2004)
The first time I saw you I cried.
N the first time I saw you I smiled.
And in the moment your eyes held mine
And we embraced in a silent kiss...
... from that moment on I knew.
I knew your heart would never change...
... as solid as the earth.
You say you ve never known such love
... since your birth.
If only you knew
... bout the pain and the hurt.
Well I cried the first time,
... cause I knew I knew.
And I smiled the first time,
... because I knew I knew.
I knew your heart would never change...
... always filled with mirth.
But I was wrong this time
and I m gonna make it rhyme,
For what it s worth
The pain and the hurt.
The pain and the hurt.

Reflections
(Music by Jeff Irick 2004)
(Words by Jeff Irick and
J.W. Baker 2004)
I found you down by the sea
Though you wanted to be alone
Your raven black hair
blown back by a sea breeze
You took no notice of me
Illusion or apparition I was soon to find out
For you came to me as a goddess in the night
Unaware of this lonely lovers plight
And you you see the silence in my soul
And a story never told
Of a boy so far away from home
And I have searched a lifetime
Through a people not my own
For a love I ve never known
To find this peace
among your Lady of the Sea
So now that I ve found you
let us love while we can
For time flows on ending
like the grains of sand
Like the grain of sand .
My choice is one of three .
Faith, truth, or my Lady of the Sea
My Lady of Sea .
Well she s my Lady of Sea.

Words of no importance
(By Jeff Irick 2004)
Always on the run never time for no one
Framed in my doorway, do you leave or do you stay
Chorus:
Words of no importance
If it doesn t come from the heart
But the heart will fool you and see right through you
And tear your soul apart
Expecting to much, expectations to high
So I m sitting alone, sitting at home
Wishing Id known the words to say
Chorus:
Words of no importance
If it doesn t come from the heart
But the heart will fool you and see right through you
And tear your soul apart
Yes the heart will fool you
And see right through you
And tear your soul apart.

Sailing in the Past
(By Jeff Irick 2004)
Hearing you again
wishing I was, seeing you again.
Not knowing what to say,
but knowing I can t win.
Memories from the past oh god
Why do they have to last and last and last
at last I found you.
You re with another man.
They say you took his hand.
I guess that s well it should be .
Cause now I m free to go .
Sailing in the past, to the Isles of Memory .
And I ll unstep the mast,
when your islands I do see.
And remember the words that I did say.
That made you want to run away.
Well I love .
Sailing in the past, to the Isles of Memory .
My hearts a steady mast,
when your islands I do see.
So take my hand now and we ll go, sailing .
Sailing in the past, to the Isles of Memory .
Just hold on to the mast
and you ll be free now.
And remember the words that I did say.
This time I hope they make you stay.
Well I love you .
Sailing in the past, to the Isles of Memory .
I ll unstep the mast,
when your islands I do see.
And remember the words .
And I love you .
