Get Back In The Game
Written by Clement Thomas Grey, copyright 2013 Clem Tom Music (ASCAP)
There was a time
When you rocked and rolled and had that big time swagger
There was a time
When you stood for something and set 'em straight, no matter
There was a time
When you earned respect and carried all that weight
There was a time
When you drew the line and never were afraid
Now that it's just not so clear
You've got to get up and face those fears
I dare you to believe
And get back in the game
Make up your mind
You're standing at the crossroads of your life
You used to wake
And know you had it all figured out
(Repeat Chorus)
You’ve got to get back in the game
Got to get back in the game
Time to get back in the game
Time Will Tell Us All
Written by Clement Thomas Grey, copyright 2013 Clem Tom Music (ASCAP)
Will you be one who gives
Or one who takes?
Will you be one who loves
Or one who hates?
Will you be one who smiles
Or one who aches?
Might you greet with kind hellos
Or hide there in the still?
Might you be the one on top
Or struggling up the hill?
Might you be one who grows
Or one who kills?
Paths will cross
Fate will twist
Stars will show the way
Rise or fall, win or loss
Time will tell us - tell us all
Shooter, victim, cop who's down
A juror without views
Teacher, student, gun show fan
Anchor on the news
Our world it spins, where to next?
If we only knew
A mother's prize, a man despised
Or someone in between
A day, an hour, an inch, a mile
Some genes of pedigree
How it plays, this fragile game
What we'll be, we'll be
Paths will cross
Fate will twist
Stars will show the way
Rise or fall, win or loss
Time will tell us - tell us all... Tell us all... Tell us all...
Time will tell us all
Trying To Cope
Written by Clement Thomas Grey, copyright 2013 Clem Tom Music (ASCAP)
Thinking of life
And all of its mystery
What do we know?
Where can we find some keys?
Fragile we are
Looking to ease the pain
Sedated but scarred
Obsessions we can't refrain
Diversions ease our road
We're all just trying to cope
Some they kneel for the power of the Holy Ghost
Some they bow to other spirits
Shall we propose another toast?
Some they roll the dice each day coast to coast
Or they call the doc, pop those pills,
Arrange that sleep they crave the most
Diversions ease our road
We're all just trying to cope
Some they kneel for the power of the Holy Ghost
Some they bow to other spirits
Shall we propose another toast?
Some they roll the dice each day coast to coast
Or they call the doc, pop those pills,
Arrange that sleep they crave the most
Diversions ease our road
We're all just trying to cope
Look At This Morning

Look at this morning
Look like you've never looked before.
Look for yourself for once Got to be some better things in store
Way too much damage
I need some time to heal
All those dark, lost years
They take a toll on how a man can feel
Welcome to a new world
Alive and clear and free
Welcome to a new world
Now time is all you need
Can I really do this?
Am I strong and tough?
I guess that when the night comes
I'll find out soon enough
Welcome to a new world
Alive and clear and free
Welcome to a new world
Now time is all you need
Look at this morning
Quiet Place
Written by Clement Thomas Grey,

My quiet place
I go there when it's raining tears
Dark gray with static fear
My quiet place
Don't need a secret password
Don't have to win the race
My quiet place
In the still the last red leaf
Drops with such calm grace
My quiet place
Here the soft wind perhaps breathes
Sincere relief
My quiet place
The changing tide sweeps away
Debris from a cluttered life
My quiet place
A steady current gives a ride
To all to care to seek
You don't have to take it
Don't waste your time trying to fake it
Come slip away with me and escape
Now it's your turn, it's not too late
It's our quiet place
Time to feel much better now
Take respite from the mindless pace
Our quiet place
A place to sense all things in sync
Intriguing, don't you think
You don't have to take it
Don't waste your time trying to fake it
Come slip away with me and escape
Walk. No need to run. It's not too late
Our quiet place
Our quiet place
Our quiet place
World's Richest Man

Got this little song I'm gonna sing
Don't have much, this is all that I can bring
So I hope you will hear it with your heart
Wish I could give you so much more
Instead, here's something simple from my very core
I want you to hold it, even when we're apart
When it's all said and done
I'll look back on my life
And know you were the one
Who helped me through the toughest times
And laughed with me when we didn't have a dime
You should know you made me
The world's richest man
(Repeat first verse)
(Repeat chorus)
(Repeat second verse)
Pieces
Written by Clement Thomas Grey,

Pieces of a life that’s drifting by
Pieces
Pieces of a story to unfold
Pieces
Pieces of a heart left there to die
Pieces
Pieces of a puzzle needing solved
Pieces
So much wasted time, wondering what to do
Up til now, just looking for some clues
Searching and searching, but always feeling blue
Oh every day, I continue to see the light
I’m damn lucky to have you in my life
To help me put together
Pieces of a life that’s drifting by
Pieces
Pieces of a story to unfold
Pieces
Pieces of a heart left there to die
Pieces
Pieces of a puzzle needing solved
Pieces
Oh every day, I continue to see the light
I’m damn lucky to have you in my life
To help me put together
The pieces
Love Them While You Can
Written by Clement Thomas Grey,

Cut from the stone, not ready for what you were thrown.
Time to be shaped. Pure, you could have been great.
Rolled, lost. Every move has a cost.
Learned. Lived. Got all they could give.
So many chances to say they loved you.
They went off into thin air.
Too many smiles they missed.
Bet you thought they didn't care.
Yeah, years run away.
Here and gone.
All they could do was pray,
Leave you on your own.
Oh, if only they had known.
You've got to love them, love them while you can.
Crushed, cracked. Had the world on your back.
Worn, knocked. No time for listening or talk.
Time rolls, leaps right off the clock.
Guess I should have known, I'd be a chip right off the block.
Now you've made it, made it to the end.
Sorry I blew it, all my love I now send.
Sweetly rock on that mystery boat. You've earned a better view.
Hope you're in a nicer place. This song is for you.
So many chances to say I loved you,
They went off into thin air.
Too many thank-yous I just missed.
Bet you thought I didn't care.
Yeah, it's too late now.
You're so long gone.
All I can do is stare,
At your picture on the wall.
Oh, if only I had known.
You've got to love them, love them while you can.
Hey Old Crow

Hey old crow, what do you know?
Nice to see you my friend
Always have ideas, seem to know what's best
Got some wisdom to lend?
Hey old crow, what do you know?
What's around the bend?
How 'bout a vision -- I'll take your best prediction
Help with decisions I dread
Should I fly back next season?
Just give me a couple reasons
Need my head and heart to conspire
Can you bring me some fire?
Fire. Fire. Fire!
Hey old crow, what do you know?
Time to spread my wings
Thanks for the perspective -- Gonna be less pensive
Greet what tomorrow may bring.
Should I fly back next season?
Just give me a couple reasons
Need my head and heart to conspire
Can you bring me some fire
Fire. Fire. Fire!
Hey old crow, what do you know?
Memories Of You
Written by Clement Thomas Grey,

Rub my eyes, put some strong coffee on
Above a blanket of fog at dawn
It hides the homes below, hides the hillside view
Wonder what else it could hide too
Oh, I wish it could hide
My memories - memories of you
Crack the window, plants covered with dew
Time to check the overnight news
Watch that low cloud rolling on through
Wish I could ride it to somewhere new
(Repeat Chorus)
Now it's late and the fog is long gone
Another night I'll be spending alone
Lots of time to wonder why you moved on
Found a new haze, pass the hours 'til dawn
Oh, I wish it could hide
Oh, how I need it to hide
My memories - memories of you
