The Leaf on the River - Original Song
LYRICS:
The girls at the park skip like stones on a lake
They don't know the mark they leave in their wake.
i watch them from a distance
I know they world they know
I wonder at the difference
Between want and think and hope
The leaf only goes where the river wants it to go
With the light all above and the dark all below
I watch it from a distance
I watch it spin away
I wonder at the difference
Between hope and try and pray
And you're all such pretty birds
You all seem to know how to fly
Trace your lemniscates and spirals
Watch your green spaces, watch your spinning sky, but
I want to feel the river flow with me
I want to fee it all below me
Because I love the way you leave the ground but
No one knows how far, how far is down
We meet at the bar and finally
I'm where you are but far enough to breathe
I watch you from a distance
Watch you move your hands
And wonder at the difference
Between want and should and can
I want to feel the river flow with me
I want to feel it all below me
Because I love the way you leave the ground
But no one knows how far, how far is down

That Bitch is Crazy - Original Song by Lisa Gloria
Fun, yes? So peppy! You can download for free here: http://lisagloria.bandcamp.com/track/that-bitch-is-crazy
LYRICS:
Late at night, down at the bar
I’m walking back, with a couple Dewar
I see that redhead standing there, right at your arm
She sees me and bolts for the door
And I’m pretty sure that I’ve been here before
So I’m like, “heyyyy, what just happened there?” And you’re like, “I don’t know,”
“That bitch is crazy. I think she followed me.
She practically haunts me. And I don’t know why.
That bitch is crazy. She don’t even know me.
It’s just a coincidence, and those happen all the time.”
Sunday morning, down at the park.
You’re fixing your hair, and I’m walking your dog.
And there’s this blonde running up waving both her arms.
You turn around and we gotta go.
Your movies are late. You left your phone.
And I’m like, “Did she just call you Baby?” And you’re like, “Nope.”
“That bitch is crazy. I think we saw her on Maury.
Maybe one time she met me but she thinks I’m somebody else
That bitch is crazy. Cmon baby you know me.
I can’t believe you’d accuse me. I mean, what the hell.
I wish you’d open up your heart and see what a great guy I am
I’m only just beginning to start to try to finally trust again
And you’re just the perfect girl for me, if you can see beyond their lies.
Besides, baby, who you gonna believe: me? Or your lying eyes?
Monday morning, I’m very blue
And resolving again to make it all up to you.
I’ll buy you a watch or a shirt or a trip to peru.
But sometimes I wonder, late, late at night
If my sister was wrong and my mama was right
Cuz I told her some of this and she was like, “Whoa,”
“That bitch is crazy. She’ll believe anything.
Just bat your eyes dear, and she goes completely besot.
That bitch is crazy, she probably needs therapy.
She seems such a smart girl, with a lot on the ball. But she’s not.”

Fall Into Me - Original Song
Original ukulele tune. When I first wrote this about 15 years ago, I didn't have a uke, I had a piano. (Yeah, I was a terrible pianist too). That piano music is long gone, along with a few pieces of the lyrics, but I think this is close. One day I'll find that notebook and I'm hoping for a little Easter egg sort of surprise. Some forgotten genius moment. Ha. It could happen.

The Facebook Breakup Song (Changin my status to Single) - Original Song
Original ukulele song by Lisa Gloria
You can download for free here: http://lisagloria.bandcamp.com/track/the-facebook-breakup-song-changin-my-status-to-single
LYRICS:
Oh you're clearing your history, cuz there's something I'm not supposed to see,
Like it's all such a mystery, and you always get over on me.
But you're tagged in the pictures, and the chat log's saved permanently.
So, I'm sorry, it's over, there's no use to linger, I'm changin' my status to "Single."
Chorus:
I am changin' my status. I signed up for eHarmony.
And you won't even notice, ciz I blocked you from my friend list,
But you can consider yourself free.
I'm changin' my status to "Single."
How it used to be different to love some and then walk away.
Now you just click a checkbox, then scroll down the page and hit "Save."
And it's not what I wanted, but this time you know you can't stay.
So, I'm sorry, it's over, there's no use to linger.
I'm changin my status to "Single."
CHORUS
Oh, don't take it so hard, it's just how you are and you want it this way.
We only made it this far cuz I was willing to look the other way.
But this is where it ends...
Yes this is where it ends...
I'll take your posts off my wall, and then I'll poke all your friends
Cuz I'm changin' my status to "Single."
CHORUS
:-)
