Vampire
By Sean Wiggins
She had long dark hair
Ruby red lips
Skin like the moonlight
And ever so ample hips
Stood in the corner
Watching people dance
Smile mona lisa
Just waiting for her chance
But you better beware
She could be a vampire
A lady of the night
Suck your blood dry
& vanish with the light
But be careful
Watch for the knife
Caught up in a web
Fearing for your life
She spotted her prey
A pretty young thing
With a wave of her hand
She could make a broken heart sing
Spinning on the floor
The epitome of grace
Like a ballerina
All eyes on her face
But you better beware
She could be a vampire
A lady of the night
Suck your blood dry
& vanish with the light
Be careful
Watch for the knife
You’ll fall into a web
Fearing for your life
As silent as she entered
She slipped out the door
Tonight all souls were spared
She left em craving more
Honey if you see her
Better walk away
Cuzz I’ve traveled down that road
And learned the hard way
Pre Chorus
Double chorus
God Only Knows
Went out for a night on the town
Feeling kinda mellow maybe a little bit down
Looking for a change of scene
A break from that same old routine
The moon was full and my heart felt the same
I know I didn't even know your name
There you stood shining bright across the room
I was hoping you'd find your way over soon
Am I crazy I don't think I care
Not this time
Doesn't really matter if I'm scared I'll be just fine
Going with the flow
Gunna learn how to take it slow
And where this winds up, god only knows
Now you're standing by my side
I'm playin it cool till the moments right
We got to talking and it felt so good
My mind was going places I didn't think it should
There’s something in the air tonight
Smells like jasmine and feels so right
I'm lookin down deep into your eyes
I might want to have this feeling for a really long time
Chorus
Oh is it just imagination – Only in my mind – Say it ain’t so
I need your number cuzz it's time to go
Don't know what I'd do if you told me no
Took my hand and wrote on my palm
Smiled the sweetest god damn smile and then you were gone
Chorus
The Gamble
Sean Wiggins
I don’t wanna be your secret
Your little bit of fun on the side
Don’t wan’t your friends to know about me
What if it doesn’t turn out right
But isn’t that the gamble
A roll of the dice
Your heart might broken
At least you gave it a try
Chorus
My door might just have a lock
But I think you know the key
So if I’m still around
You can sweep me off my feet
You told me all about your yesterdays
How life never treated you too kind
Say it’s time to bring back your passion
And leave the messy past behind
The flames they always burn
Deep in the night
Daylight brings the sun
But rarely brings the light
My door might just have a lock
But I think you know the key
So if I’m still around
You can sweep me off my feet
My door might just have a lock
But I think you know the key
So if I’m still around
You can sweep me off my feet
(that’s what you told me)
Haven’t heard from you in a month of Sundays
Probably means gunna be a couple years
Memories they are almost fading
I can’t seem to work up anymore tears
Just a fleeting moment
In the passing of time
Turned me upside down
But I think I’ll land just fine
My door might just have a lock
But I think you know the key
So if I’m still around
You can sweep me off my feet
(that’s what you told me)
This Girl’s Just getting Started
By Sean Wiggins 2019
Have a house on top a hill
I got in the divorce
Both kids graduated from college
Everything’s right on course
Perfect little momma dear
I always walked the line
Got straight A’s in high school
So I say its about time
That I Let my hair down
Kick off my shoes
Dance on some tables
Maybe make the front page news
This girl ain’t slowin down
I tell you this girl’s just getting started
I do my shopping at whole foods market
Pilates starts at noon
Discovered sage and meditation
Getting in a new age groove
But after 5 when I get home
I put on something sassy
Tight dress and fishnet stockings
Cuzz I don’t want to get too classy
Gotta Let my hair down
Kick off my shoes
Dance on some tables
Maybe make some front page news
This girl ain’t slowin down
I tell you this girl’s just getting started
My kids both think I’m going
Clean out of my mind
My friends think it’s the change
Like I’m almost out of time
I know it’s just jealousy
I can see it in they’re eyes
Catch a glimpse of me at night
They’re sure gunna get a surprise
Pre Chorus
Chorus Out
Don’t wake Me
Sean Wiggins
I was all alone
Never thought I’d find
Another Lover
Had to change my view
I’m too young to have
This kind of problem
Pulled the petals off one by one
Tossed a quarter in the well
And I found
You’re like the sunshine
Streaming into my heart
Woa woa
A little bit of heaven
Feels like magic
I tremble at your touch
Woa woa
A little bit of heaven
Heaven here on earth
Don’t wake if I’m dreaming
Don’t wake me if I’m dreaming
Tried to clear my mind
I’m amazed I haven’t
started running
Thought I couldn’t change
Doomed to always make
The same mistakes oh
Blew the candles out one by one
And made a wish
I can’t believe what I’ve found
Chorus
Bridge
Some might say
This song sounds sad
Maybe melancholy
But don’t get me wrong
Just been way too long
Chorus
Never Say Never
Sean Wiggins
Will I walk this lonely walk forever
Sing these tortured songs whenever
I say never say never
Cloudy in the depths of my soul
Wonder if I’m just getting old
If It’s more than just my vision
You know it’s not the same ol song
Though you try to sing along
The words the same The meaning’s different
Seeing through eyes of time
Surely makes you change your mind
It’s what I know but wish I didn’t
I’m really not ready to cry
Not thinking I’m about to die
Just pondering my future
Still it feels a little visceral
on the verge of criminal
Without really much direction
Bridge
It’s a Greek Tragedy
And I’m always in the chorus
Watching the story fade to black
Never want to try engage
Afraid of consequences
Find a seat way up in the back
It’s not time for goodbye
When you haven’t stopped to say hello
It’s some easy mathematics
Put your finger in the air
See if you can breathe up there
Then fly your kite to the highest
You know it’s not the same ol song
Though you try to sing along
The words the same the meaning’s different
Seeing through eyes of time
Surely makes to change your mind
It’s what I know but wish I didn’t
Thanksgiving
Sean Wiggins
Streets are empty
thanksgiving morning
The line at Marie is round the block
Didn’t feel like cookin
Here I stand waiting
Watching hands tick by on the clock
Woke up with a chip on my shoulder
As big as that ol sycamore tree
Alone at the holidays never feels right
Especially under covers late late at night
I said
Pass me another piece of pie
You know it’s holiday time
Better than whiskey or rye
Pass me another piece of pie
Sent you a message
Calling a halt
To all of this anger & pain
Knew from the second
I went to press send
I was never gunna see you again
Leaned my head back tears in my eyes
Wasn’t sure I’d done the right thing
So all alone I jump when the wind blows
But It’s nothing new We all know how it goes
Pass me another piece of pie
You know it’s holiday time
Better than whiskey or rye
Pass me another piece of pie
Bridge
Got your message
A few days back
You were checking on how I had been
I said fine thank you
How bout yourself
Like we’d never been more than just friends
By the end of this brief exchange
We agreed that we shouldn’t talk
Better to leave ol sleeping dogs lying
When It’s all done and we’re both sick of trying
Pass me another piece of pie
You know it’s holiday time
Better than whiskey or rye
Pass me another piece of pie
How The Time Goes
Sean Wiggins
Stood on the front porch
Watching the fog roll in
Put out a hand to touch the rain
Couldn’t bear thinking about starting again
Wishing it would wash away the pain
She pulled out her car
Packed only a bag
Said she couldn’t bear another hour
He looked at the clouds and tried to think back
When had it all gone so sour
And oh how the time goes
We lose ourselves in the day to day
And oh Hopefully time will show
The things we’ve forgotten to keep a love lasting
The things we’ve forgotten to say
Didn’t have a plan
As she reached for the door
Sure the tears were gunna flow
All out of talk, tried for too many years
Awe when it’s time, you just know
It wouldn’t be easy
But she didn’t care
They both had given it all
Sometimes the best of intentions
Make for the worst kind of fall
And oh how the time goes
We lose ourselves in the day to day
And oh Hopefully time will show
The things we’ve forgotten to keep a love lasting
The things we’ve forgotten to say
Bridge
He kicked at the dirt
She stared at her finger
At a ring from a time long past
A little surprised she could barely remember
The feel from the day that bound them together
A love that was so sure to last
They both looked up
at the exact same time
Nothing more they could do
Just smile and with one kiss goodbye
Say darlin I really loved you
And Oh That’s how the time goes
We lose ourselves in the day to day
And oh Hopefully time will show
The things we’ve forgotten to keep a love lasting
The things we’ve forgotten to say
I'll Find My Way
Sean Wiggins
Watching the clock on the wall
Hands spinnin out of control
Ten years feel like yesterday
Must be a sign I'm getting old
I say slow
Time says no
Don't wanna go back
Just need to know
That it isn't
Just a pointless game
Spinning in circles all in vain
That it's all for something
And that somehow
I'll find my way
Wish I had a secret guide
To show me all the rules and regulations
Fumbling in the dark most times
Hoping for divine inspiration
I say slow
Time says no
Don't wanna go back
just need to know
That it isn't
Just a pointless game
Spinning in circles all in vain
That it’s all for something
And that somehow
I'll find my way
Always looking for what you don't have
Always trying to change what you can't
You might be laughing but you ain’t fooling anybody
Funny as I write this song
Something’s telling me I got it all wrong
Made it all too complicated
Couldn't find a place where I belong
I said slow
Life said go
Didn't need to turn back
Just had to know
That it isn't
Just a pointless game
Spinning in circles all in vain
That it’s all for something
and that somehow
I'll find my way
Growing Old
Sean Wiggins
The thought of growing old with you
Makes me feel young again
Seeing your face every morning
Would Make me smile
I’m not askin for anyone to turn back time
I’m just asking that it lasts a long long while
I have my share of crazy
Could tell you stories to make you cry
Didn’t know what I was looking for
And I sure couldn’t tell you why
But it seems the air has cleared
I can see now I can breath
Can’t put my finger on it
It’s all about you and me
The thought of growing old with you
Makes me feel young again
Seeing your face every morning
Would Make me smile
I’m not askin for anyone to turn back time
I’m just asking that it lasts a long long while
Faithful, loyal to a fault
I always walked the line
Friends would say that I was nuts
And I’d tell em I’m feeling fine
I wake to watch the sun rise
You’re lying by my side
Can’t put my finger on it
All I know it sure feels right
Oh sure feels right
Losing every sense of self
I’d just about given in
Brought back joy & eased the pain
I learned to feel alive again
Even in the darkest night
Stars will light the way
Nothing else to figure out
One more thing to say
I’m thankful every day
The thought of growing old with you
Makes me feel young again
Seeing your face every morning
Would Make me smile
I’m not askin for anyone to turn back time
I’m just asking that it lasts a long long while
I’m just asking for a plain ol simple life
And I’m just asking that it lasts a long long while
Almost Christmas
By Sean Wiggins & Linda Taylor 2018
Snow is falling
We’re all bundled up
Have some hot chocolate in my coffee cup
Get the decorations
Let’s trim the tree
Couldn’t think of anywhere that I’d rather be
It’s a jingle jangle holiday
And old St Nick, well he might say\
Gather round to sing a song
As long as we all sing along
A jingle jangle time of year
Candy canes, a couple of reindeer
Put your worries away for a while
Bring a laugh and a big bright smile laughter
Cuzz It’s almost Christmas
We’ll build a snow man
When the weather is right
Cuddle someone special out on a sleighride
Grandma’s baking cookies
Mamma the roast
Just about time for a Christmas toast
It’s a jingle jangle holiday
And old St Nick, well he might say
Gather round to sing a song
As long as we all sing along
A jingle jangle time of year
Candy canes, a couple of reindeer
Put your worries away for a while
Bring a laugh and a big bright smile laughter
