By A Thread

BY A THREAD - Written by Carroll Bryant 

Just an after thought in the morning

Will your broken eyes ever heed the warning?

My heart could touch your soul if you would just let it

My head can’t let you go so girl just forget it

And I hang by a thread

Everyday when I let your memory back into me and

I wish I was dead

Then and only then would I forget you

Then and only then would I forget your name

Just an early train of new emotions

Arriving at the station and causing commotion

My heart is cinder so my head just forgets it

My soul can’t pretend but the pain seems to let it

And I hang by a thread

Everyday when I let your memory back into me and

I wish I was dead

Then and only then would I forget you

Then and only then would I forget your name

If I can’t breath the air then I can’t breath you in

This is my despair and you know this

If I can’t burn what doesn’t even exist

Then when will my power of resistance start kicking in?

You’re my dilemma

You are my shame

A scar on the wound of time

You are my enemy

You are to blame

A victim of your own Divine

Why didn’t you save me from all the things that you promised me

That you were going save me from?

And I hang by a thread

Everyday when I let your memory back into me and

I wish I was dead

Then and only then would I forget you

Then and only then would I forget your name

Then an only then would I ever let you

Then and only then would I ever let you back in

Yes I would let you back in

I would let you back in again

And I hang by a thread 

West Coast State Of Mind

WEST COAST STATE OF MIND - Written by Carroll Bryant

A continental breakfast in a west coast state of mind

It feels like my troubles are a million miles behind

I can’t undo the changes yet my templates are clear

The salt air keeps shouting out loud enough to hear

This place keeps on feeling more and more like home

The mere thought of leaving makes me feel alone

So what is that saying?

What message does it send?

Who ever said that a vacation ever has to end?

And no, I just can’t delete it

Miss Beverly Hills has got me defeated

Roll on Ohio, roll on down the line

Roll on down the river

Roll on with father time

I found a new woman and her heart is mine

Roll on Ohio

I’m in a west coast state of mind

Like a Mormon on a mission for good old Brigham Young

I think I found a calling for the sand, surf and sun

My spirits are lifted and my broken heart bereaved

Man, I’m gonna miss it when it comes time to leave

The girls are amazing in everything they do

Life is but living with nothing else to lose

So what am I doing?

What makes it all so hard?

Who ever said that nirvana is bad for the heart?

And no, you know I don’t mean it

Miss Santa Monica has got me depleted

Roll on Ohio, roll on down the line

Roll on down the river

Roll on with father time

I found a new woman and her heart is mine

Roll on Ohio

I’m in a west coast state of mind

From Rodeo Drive to the Hollywood Hills

Nothing but sunshine in a deep state of thrills

This place keeps on feeling more and more like home

The mere thought of leaving makes me feel alone

So what is that saying?

What message does it send?

Who ever said that a vacation ever has to end?

And no, I just can’t delete it

Miss Beverly Hills has got me defeated

Roll on Ohio, roll on down the line

Roll on down the river

Roll on with father time

I found a new woman and her heart is mine

Roll on Ohio

I’m in a west coast state of mind

Roll on Ohio, roll on down the road

The path I’ve been walking

Is getting really old

I found a new woman and I can’t deny

Roll on Ohio

I’m in a west coast state of mind

I’m in a West coast state this time

A West coast state of shine

Remember (Her Song)

REMEMBER (HER SONG) - Written by Carroll Bryant 

When it rains

I can hear droplets falling down

Calling your name - again

Just the way I do when I’m not around you

Remember when we danced under the stars?

I was in your heart

And you were in my arms

And we spoke telepathically

Sharing all of our dreams

That’s the place where I long to be

When it snows

I can hear angels shivering

Shaking the cold - again

Just the way I do when I am not with you

Remember when we held hands together?

It was the summer

And you were my lover

And we touched metaphorically

Sharing our everything

That’s the place where I long to be

You’re a princess of love

I’m just a jester

This world is the kingdom

I might just be guessing here

But we - have good intentions

Love’s not an invention

It’s just a feeling I’m feeling - for you

You’re a princess of love

I’m just a jester

This world is the kingdom

I might just be guessing here

But we - live in some confusion

Love’s not an illusion

It’s just a feeling I’m feeling - for you

When it rains

I can hear droplets falling down

Calling your name - again

Just the way I do when I’m not around you

Remember when we danced under the stars?

I was in your heart

And you were in my arms

And we spoke telepathically

Sharing all of our dreams

That’s the place where I long to be

That’s the place where I’ll always be
