Every time I see your face It reminds me of the places we used to go All I've got is a photograph And I realize you're not coming back anymore

I saw the sign And it opened up my eyes, I saw the sign No one's gonna drag you up to get into the light where you belong But where do you belong?

They say the sea turns so dark that You know it's time, you see the sign They say the point demons guard is An ocean grave for all the brave Was it you that said, how long, how long How long to the point of no return?

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round I really love to watch them roll No longer riding on the merry-go-round I just had to let it go

Jesus, take the wheel Take it from my hands 'Cause I can't do this on my own I'm letting go So give me one more chance And save me from this road I'm on Jesus, take the wheel

Jackie left on a cold, dark night Telling me he'd be home Sailed the seas for a hundred years Leaving me all alone And I've been dead for twenty years I've been washing the sand With my ghostly tears Searching the shores for my Jackie-oh

Well, my father was a gambler down in Georgia And he wound up on the wrong end of a gun And I was born in the back seat of a Greyhound bus Rollin' down highway 41 Lord, I was born a ramblin' man Tryin' to make a livin' and doin' the best I can And when it's time for leavin' I hope you'll understand That I was born a ramblin' man

Do you remember, your President Nixon? Do you remember, the bills you have to pay? Or even yesterday?

Hey you with the pretty face Welcome to the human race A celebration, Mr. Blue Sky's up there waitin' And today is the day we've waited for Oh, Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us why You had to hide away for so long (so long) Where did we go wrong?

Times have changed and times are strange Here I come, but I ain't the same Mama, I'm coming home Times gone by, seems to be You could have been a better friend to me Mama, I'm coming home

You're my blue sky, you're my sunny day Lord, you know it makes me high When you turn your love my way Turn your love my way, yeah

I'ma walkin' in the rain Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain Wishin' you were here by me To end this misery I wonder I wo-wo-wo wonder Why... why-why-why-why-why She ran away And I wonder where she will stay My little runaway I run-run-run-run runaway

Now that I'm alone again I can't stop breaking down again The simplest things set me off again And take me to that place Where I can't find my brave face Where I can't find my brave face My brave, my brave, my brave face. My brave face

So take a good look at my face Oh, you'll see my smile looks out of place If you look a little bit closer, it's easy to trace Oh, the tracks of my tears

If you could read my mind, love What a tale my thoughts could tell Just like an old time movie 'Bout a ghost from a wishing well In a castle dark or a fortress strong With chains upon my feet You know that ghost is me And I will never be set free As long as I'm a ghost, you can't see

Looking back over the years And whatever else that appears I remember I cried when my father died Never wishing to hide the tears And at sixty-five years old My mother, God rest her soul Couldn't understand why the only man She had ever loved had been taken Leaving her to start With a heart so badly broken Despite encouragement from me No words were ever spoken And when she passed away I cried and cried all day Alone again, naturally Alone again, naturally

Yes, Thompson Road. After all of the IT division was outsourced to Keane, I was able to stay on Carrier’s payroll by getting an IT job in the Carlyle Compressor division and was in TR5. I didn’t want to go to Keane because I was in the middle of getting my MBA by going to night school at SU, and they wouldn’t pay for it like Carrier was. I was at Carrier until they moved all the manufacturing out, and spent my last year going to Georgia to train people to do my job, where I didn’t want to move to.

As a programmer/ business analyst at Carrier, our IT department spent the year before going through thousands of programs throughout the company, changing and testing any date references to ensure they were 4 digit years.

Oh, the weather outside is frightful But the fire is so delightful And since we've no place to go Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!

It will be easy to talk about the weather It will be easy to look beyond the wave But I love you too much to not say something Without the truth my love means nothing Sometimes love is anything but easy Anything but easy

I want you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it Take another little piece of my heart now, baby (whoa, break it) Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah, yeah, yeah (whoa, have a) Have another little piece of my heart now, baby You know you got it if it makes you feel good Oh, yes indeed

Precious and few are the moments we two can share Quiet and blue, like the sky, I'm hung over you And if I can't find my way back home, it just wouldn't be fair 'Cause precious and few are the moments we two can share

Loneliness is the cloak you wear A deep shade of blue is always there The sun ain't gonna shine anymore The moon ain't gonna rise in the sky The tears are always clouding your eyes When you're without love, baby

Yeah, Brandy used to watch his eyes When he told his sailor stories She could feel the ocean fall and rise She saw its ragin' glory But he had always told the truth, Lord, he was an honest man And Brandy does her best to understand

Or perhaps the penalty allows it to be a good play. 🤔
