Like We Could by Craig Durgy
I’m sure we can’t recall, the name of that motel
Where we parked our cars and hugged so hard we,
Nearly fell
Like first time teenage fool-arounds we,
Unlocked that door
And our summer duds went flying to the floor
And I loved you like no other, ‘cause I could
Never love another, the way we would
And I’d go back to that day with you, when it felt so good
Would you kiss me now, as if we really could
Can you understand, what we understood
And felt so good, like we could
The sun just melted all our cares, that distant day
But the bluegrass bands, like sonic fans just,
Blew the sweat away
And I held you by your cut-off jeans like,
Somewhere deep I knew
That loving you was too good to be true
And I loved you like no other, ‘cause I could
Never love another, the way we would
And I’d go back to that day with you, when it felt so good
Would you kiss me now, as if you really could
Can you understand, what we understood
And felt so good, like we could

Till You Made My Heart Break by Craig Durgy
I held on till you made my heart break
I saw it coming in your eyes
We took as much as each one could take
I had to fall, you had to rise.
I'd grown so use to how you made me whole
Your touch gave me balance in heart, mind and soul
But you had to grow and I just fell apart
For you it was freedom, for me half a heart
(chorus)
It seems you have shattered, the boundaries of love
Like something else mattered, beyond and above
And I see all around me the prison love makes
Defining me, binding me….. with a heart that just breaks
(chorus)
It's final and tragic as a hole in the ground
Each breath is a labor with you not around
But I exhale with each shovelful of the dirt
Knowing you're not to blame, you're only the hurt.
I held on till you made my heart break
(Held on till my heart broke)
I saw it coming in your eyes
(I saw it coming in your eyes)
We took as much as each one could take
(Took as much as we could take)
I had to fall, you had to rise.
(I had to fall - You had to rise)

Left Unsaid by Craig Durgy
On the phone with Cousin Linda, she got you to laugh so hard
Caught you talking to the window, watching squirrels play in the yard
You said something to the mirror, as you put your makeup on
Then you stopped as I got nearer, you and the grocery list were gone
You make comments to the TV, but you never talk me
Tell me how you feel, think we need some conversation
Tell me how you feel, seems like something’s been unsaid
Tell me how you feel, need to check our respiration
Before we leave this thing for dead
Guess you kinda like your pillow,
‘cause you’ve been talking in your sleep
Sometimes you’re weeping like a willow,
while I just lie there counting sheep
Heard you speaking to the fire, something ‘bout how love’s a joke
But you’re just preachin’ to the choir, through the chimney, up in smoke
I hear “nothins” and they ain’t sweet, but you never talk me
Tell me how you feel, think we need some conversation
Tell me how you feel, seems like something’s been unsaid
Tell me how you feel, need to check our respiration
Before we leave this thing for dead
Left unsaid…Left unsaid…Left unsaid

Following The Pathways Of Your Smile by Craig Durgy
Well it made me feel so angry
When I learned that you were gone
When the tears flow till you can't see
There just ain't no moving on
All the memories flashed before me
Like a thundering waterfall
You poured into me with glory
And without you I'm so small
But how could I be so shallow
As to let your laughter die
Without you I must follow
The pathways of your smile
Can you somehow hear my heartbeat
Cause it's so alive with you
You were the life of every party
The planner and the glue
Well we never said goodbye dear
But we knew we never would
So if you hear a heavy sigh, dear
Please forgive me, I'll be good
Please forgive me, I'll be good.
Following the pathways of your smile
Following the pathways of your smile
Following the pathways of your smile
Following the pathways of your smile
The many pathways of your smile

The Cuttin’ Way by Craig Durgy
Found my way, beyond this cuttin’ way
This hustlin’, bustlin’ way of life
That’s cut me like a knife
Starts today, leaving that cuttin’ way
That blood for nothin’ way of life
I’m cuttin’ out of sight
Ohhh, where did I go
Why did I follow, didn’t I know?
Ohh, hear the wind blow
Lay down your burden and let…the rope go
I saw daylight through windows and doors
Working my way up through so many floors
Never arriving, no slowing down
Leaving my soul at the floor, on the ground
Found my way, beyond this cuttin’ way
This hustlin’, bustlin’ way of life
That’s cut me like a knife
Starts today, leaving that cuttin’ way
That blood for nothin’ way of life
I’m cuttin’ out of sight
Never arriving, no slowing down
Leaving my soul at the floor, on the ground

Jenny by Craig Durgy
Jenny, dear Jenny
Why did you go
Loving a memory
Just hurts my heart so
Oh Jenny, my Jenny
I can't understand
Why you aren't beside me
Just the way that we planned
Blues in the night time
Grey all day long
I'm cold as your pillow
Since you've been gone
Jenny, oh Jenny
It's you that I miss
The morning feels heavy
I can't go on like this
So Jenny, dear Jenny
Please hear me now
I need to hold you
We'll manage somehow
The wind in the willow
The smell of your hair
This valley seems lifeless
My heart’s in despair
Jenny, dear Jenny
Why did you go
Loving a memory
Just hurts my heart so

The Last Time by Craig Durgy
Board the last train, for the last time
For this lasting, love of mine, Madeline
Breaking up, moving out
Gentle touch, no need to shout
We can see, what it's about
You need to be, free of all doubt
Waking up, laying still, found the channel changer, lost my will
Writing letters, to myself, trying to gather, my mental health
I walk door-ward…you look forward
Board the last train, for the last time,
For this lasting, love of mine, Madeline
Holding on, laying low
Winter gone, and I’m praying for snow
Crossed the train tracks, 1 A-M
Brings my thoughts back, to you again
Now and then I'd, make the trip, down your street I'd, quietly slip
Looking up, window light, who was in your, arms tonight?
Afraid of knocking…keep on walking.
Board the last train, for the last time
For this lasting, love of mine, Madeline
But sometimes when you, keep hope alive
Something happens, making it right
Ringing phone, your voice I hear
Saying please come home and,
Wipe away my tears
I'm headed door-ward…we're moving forward
Board the last train, for the last time
For this lasting, love of mine, Madeline
Board the last train, for the last time
For this lasting, love of mine, Madeline (repeat)

A Beggar’s Retreat by Craig Durgy
I’m so hungry, I’m so hungry
What does it really matter?
The table seems too tall
My heads been on a platter
Should I jump before I fall?
(Chorus)
Can’t feel the crackling of the leaves beneath my feet
This autumn air is there,
But not so much for me
My soul, that someone stole,
Has left this hole you see
So, please excuse me as I quietly retreat
I’m so hungry
I know there is a harvest
That will nourish me and more
So why am I here starving
With my back against this door
There’s a window where I reach out
Though I seldom see the light
One grain of hope I seek out
Like a beggar in the night
(Chorus)
I’m so hungry
The daylight burns too shallow
I scurry for the dark
But here I shrink and wallow
And the truth is just too hard
I know this devil, anger
How he drags me to defeat
Love, she is a singer
And she sounded so damn sweet
(Chorus)
So please excuse me as I quietly…
