There's joy and sadness in life, and in this song. For my friend, Michael Walden (photo), who took the road less travelled. "The reach of these headlights, the only future I've known". To those who have never experienced this joy, it may be impossible to explain, but making music is a "now" like no other...

lyrics

ALL I'VE GOT TO GIVE

Spent my life living on the road..
Tried not to borrow more than I was owed..
I found treasures in a song.. even time can’t spend..
My days began with the setting sun..
Chasing the truth, but it was on the run..
Taunting me, as it slipped ‘round another bend..

Here.. here I roam... on another dark highway, I suppose I call home..
And all that I can give you is a song..
It’s all I’ve got to give…

Haven’t given much thought to what tomorrow might see..
Living right now just makes sense to me..
And I’ve wondered.. what makes sense to you..
It’s not easy to walk in another man’s shoes..
And a blistered mind can become quite confused..
But don’t you worry ‘bout me.. this I was born to do..

I never really cared.. about celebrity..
Money and fame, ego and shame.. they don’t inspire me..
I tried to share.. a world you can’t see..
Listen with your heart.. inside this melody..
Love will sing you a song,,and set your soul free..?
Do you hear the song?

I’ve been told I’m just wasting my time..
Better things to do than find words that rhyme..
But just listen.. you’ll hear what words can't say..
I never gave a thought to what tomorrow might bring..
I never felt so alive.. did you hear me sing.. tonight.. I gave it all away…

Well the years.. have come and gone..
The reach of these headlights, the only future I’ve known..
And all ll I felt I could give you was a song..
Was it all I had to give?

The years, and the tears.. have come and gone..
The reach of these headlights, the only future I’ve known..
All I felt I could give you was a song..
Was it all I had to give?..

Charles "Chaz" Laughon aka Chaze Lounge Wilmington

I've posted some barely adequate recordings here, many bad writer's renditions, of a few songs I've written in my life. Most of my songs never recorded, likely never will be. No matter, just mutterings to myself. I'm a lyricist who believes that language is a dog chasing it's tail. Didn't immerse into human life as I probably should've, or perhaps I immersed too much. The dark births the light. ... more
