Pain & Joy

If this old world is going to pass me by
I won't try, I won't try
If this old world is going to pass me by
then I won't try at all
we've never met but you know my name
just leave me here, just leave me here
we've never met but you know my name
just leave me here alone
pain and joy
my pain and joy
my pain and joy
just leave me here with the precious night
in all my pain, in all my pain
just leave me here with the precious night
in all my pain and joy
pain and joy
my pain and joy
my pain and joy
all my pain and joy
my pain and joy
holds all these walls together
can't keep a bed for very long
can't see the sun is rising
don't know the way to get back home
all my pain and joy
my pain and joy

What once was lost
is still so far gone
what once was true
is a part of you
because I don't know
if you're thinking what I'm thinking too
but I will be there with you
we join in praise
of all those who gave
let he who doubts
see the sun come out
because I don't know
if you're feeling what I'm feeling too
but I will be there with you
because I don't know
if you're thinking what I'm thinking too
but I will be there with you
with you
with you

Won't you believe me
I won't change a word
don't you deceive me
or no one ever learns
that now is the best of times
and all these lies just make us blind
and everybody knows
the only way I'll leave is with you by my side
the only place I'll go is where you hide
when I see your face you lift me up
the only thing I want is what you got
now that I see you
and I can feel your heart
now that I see you
and no one is in the dark
this fortune is in our hands
there's no way out if it goes as planned
and everybody knows
the only way I'll leave is with you by my side
the only place I'll go is where you hide
when I see your face you lift me up
the only thing I want is what you got
you're the way I waste my time
you're the way I lose my mind
just a rose beside the road
the only way I'll leave is with you by my side
the only place I'll go is where you hide
when I see your face you lift me up
the only thing I want is what you got
the only thing I want is what you got
the only thing I want is what you got
you're the only thing
the only thing I want is what you got

The Light

Sometime in the morning
I was not myself
having stood, and lost
and fallen in debt
I know what you're doing
I know what you've done
but you won't have to change me
because I won't use too much
You're the light I want to shine for
you're the light
I want to shine for you
You're the light I want to shine
for now, and ever
when I was a liar
when I was a thief
when I wore the chains
of my own grief
somewhere in the distance
I could see myself
falling down the mountain
with nothing left
You're the light I want to shine for
you're the light
I want to shine for you
You're the light I want to shine
for now, and ever
when you leave take a part of me
when you leave
you take a part of me
You're the light I want to shine
for now, and ever

Krister Axel New York
Hi, my name is Krister Axel. I am a roots-rock veteran of the indie music scene, and I have a degree in Poetry. I am a
published lyricist, composer, and songwriter. I started playing piano in White Plains, New York because our black upright piano fascinated me and my sisters hated their piano lessons. That was in the 80's and I have never stopped writing songs.
My music blog is called CHILLFILTR.
