Awake
music and lyrics by parker ainsworth
the alarm clock sounds the horn
echoing the day is born
as you open up your windows
circles beautifully adorned
light pours in washing the room
many shadows become few
are we waking from a dream
or are these dreams we're sleeping through?
once i felt your warm breath upon my cheek
wide awake then i fell right back asleep
somewhere in my dreams i see the outline of your face
as you whisper in my ear awake
rising from the ruffled sheets
that were once as white as geese
flying south above reflections
cast upon a tranquil sea
waves of feathers curl and lift
in a gust of ocean mist
on the beach below a man deciphers all the things he's missed
once i felt your warm breath upon my cheek
wide awake then i fell right back asleep
somewhere in my dreams i see the outline of your face
as you whisper in my ear awake
i opened up my eyes for a moment in a dream and glimpsed eternity
once i felt your warm breath upon my cheek
wide awake then i fell right back asleep
somewhere in my dreams i see the outline of your face
as you whisper in my ear awake...

Hope you understand
music and lyrics by parker ainsworth
heidi can we stay?
for another day
laying in the wake of the dappled shade
the taxi ride is nice
and such a tiny price
to spend some time with you
the planes above await
where the road divides
maybe if we're lucky there delayed tonight
for now we'll watch the world
as it speeds away
resting face to face
our hearts on display
oh... oh... oh. oh. oh.
it just won't feel this way again
you know i got to
go... go... go. go. go.
i hope you understand
are bags now rest behind
where there out of mind
leaving precious room in which to see
the colors of your eyes
as they shift between
sunlight in a dream
to an amber breeze
oh... oh... oh. oh. oh.
it just won't feel this way again
you know i got to
go... go... go. go. go.
i hope you understand
there's little left to say
the embrace remains
fingers speaking soft and fluently
i can't ignore the news they communicate
a part of you is about to leave with me
oh... oh... oh. oh. oh.
it just won't feel this way again
you know we got to
go... go... go. go. go.
i hope you understand
heidi can we stay?
for another day
laying in the wake of the dappled shade
the taxi ride is nice
and such a tiny price
to spend some time with you

Rain......
music and lyrics by parker ainsworth
all i can say is that life is a song that i'll
sing even if it belongs to the silence
i heard footsteps moving away in the darkness
scared till acceptance of death gave me solace
i've seen yellow flowers float gently on water
so blue in reflections that dance in the moonlight
here in an instant i live between dreams
so real that reality's fake and pretentious
rain keeps on fallin and fallin and fallin...
high then a low again see me i'm flyin
then falling through clouds feeling lost feeling missing
i look in your eyes and i see there's a question
deep in the center exists true affection
lost is the truth in a world of deception
yet kind individuals bring back the reason
i live for the music i'm facing a sunrise
that bathes skin en route to epiphanies realized
rain keeps on fallin and fallin and fallin...
all that i can say
is that i'm tired of all this rain and thundering
but what is a soul to do
except keep on moving towards the skies of blue
all that i can say
is that i'm tired of all this pain and suffering
but what is a soul to do
except keep on moving towards the skies of blue
rain keeps on fallin and fallin and fallin...

We just forgot
music and lyrics by parker ainsworth
a child is born with magic deep in their heart
knowing that they here to shape a life with all that they are
a drop of brilliance from a radiant sun
choosing to dive into night to experience dark
all we are
a flock of angels born to dance in the stars
clipping our wings so we can know what we're not
it's ok my love we just forgot
i heard a painter cursing all of the world
exclaiming it all looks wrong there's nothing real anymore
a fortune cookie fell from up in the sky
when it cracked open at his feet it read
"your thoughts make you right"
all we are
a flock of angels born to dance in the stars
clipping our wings so we can know what we're not
it's ok my love we just forgot
who we are
with our halos covered
forgetting what we're here for
born in sacred service
sweeping my arms up i surrender my plans
leaving impressions of my essence in the snow and the sand
we got our feathers ringing jingling bells
laughing and flying toward the sun with these wings that don't melt
all we are
a flock of angels born to dance in the stars
we clip our wings so we can know what we're not
it's ok my love we just forgot...

Higher up
music and lyrics by parker ainsworth
i'm sitting way up high
on this mountain taking in the view
you're out there wearing a smile
on your mountain too
now the wind is blowing stronger
and we know we have a bit more to climb
but the view right now is opening... opening up
opening our eyes
(we know)
there are oh so many more
many steps until the top
and so we both surrender
to a picture from higher up
our vision's growing wider
out over the trees of the world we knew
and the trails we followed for miles
only echoes in the altitude
and as the veils that hid are essence
are blown away like specks of fire and gold
we're getting closer going higher becoming smaller
so much smaller
like the stars along the road
(we know)
there are oh so many more
many steps until the top
and so we both surrender
to a picture from higher up...

“Parker Ainsworth has the voice of a man whose lived many lives in one lifetime. He’s a mystic wandering bard…you can hear the Texan smoke in his voice and his finger picking should be studied. He’s a painter with words and his palette is plentiful. I was a fan in an instant.” ~ NohoArtsDistrict ... more
