What held me back From telling you I loved you back I thought I was over that But it came into my mind Yeah it hangs there right beside And reminds me that I’ve let the fear define me And for years I’ve just stayed here this way Tomorrow’s another day And maybe there’s hope to change Well I hope to change A gentle touch The comfort that you want so much But fear is a sucker punch That will take your breath away It may numb you but it hurts you Well those habits have inertia They’ll distract you but they’ll curse you and lead you astray Tomorrow’s another day And maybe there’s hope to change Well I hope to change I hope to change I hope to change

Dreams Die 02:52
I’m sure dreams die All the time But I thought mine would slip by unchanged The well is dry They’re sweeping the stage And I find I’m feeling my age Set adrift like a boat on the sea Where I’m going a mystery to me Never knowing just what might have been If I’d chosen differently It’s got my guts Twisted in knots Is it over well how can I know What do I do At the end of the show Will I hang out or just let it go Set adrift like a boat on the sea Where I’m going a mystery to me Never knowing just what might have been If I’d chosen differently

Dark promise of one perfect other A lover Fated and waiting for me Likewise I’m fated for she Did I miss you at the party Did I offer you a beer Have I known you for years Did I miss you at the party Did I offer you a beer Have I known you for years

Moon rise wind in the trees Soft eyes smiling at me Cast off cold to the bone Warmth of the sunrise guiding me home Bird song calling to you Dancing to the music in all that you do The valley the mountains of stone It’s there that you found me when I was alone Now after all that I’ve been through I’m left to wander like a dog in the wind who Wonders at lightning and thunder Whole world to discover but I’m searching for you Your eyes looking at mine You lead and I follow behind Our path set by the breeze Light as a feather floating and free Now after all that we’ve been through We’re left to wander like dogs in the wind who Wonder at thunder and lightning Although they’re frightening It’s so exciting inviting Calling us all to delight in the thrill of it

Sweet Love and forgiveness Give me some of that assurance That what I broke won’t be broke forever Sweet love divine Well I’m anxious for an answer But I am cautious to surrender If all that I’m meant to do is endure Give me a sign So I am nurturing a feeling of gratefulness And I am nurturing a feeling of hope Cus I’ve known the hollow groan of loneliness And I confess I can’t do this alone Sweet Love and forgiveness Give me some of that assurance That what I broke won’t be broke forever Sweet love divine

about

J.E. Sunde Minneapolis, Minnesota

Songwriter/composer J.E. Sunde writes beautifully unusual music. A classically trained musician with a love of songwriters and performers like Leonard Cohen, Nina Simone, and Paul Simon, Jon writes densely poetic songs with a bent toward the philosophical. Also, his voice sounds like some sort of weird angel. ... more
