02. Lara Jane
Lyrics
John PuckettI lie alone at night in this bed ghosts from our past dancing in my head Years back we married, you were my girl we brought two children into this world How could I have missed the truth for so long to have ever trusted you was so wrong A web of deception so tangled and deep the fruit of a sin that tasted so sweet You contradict the values you hold a Christian woman with a heart that's grown cold You've created an image for people to see but what's behind it is not real to me, not real to me You did your best to keep me in the dark my questions met with sarcastic remarks The dust collects on your wedding gown while you're with a boyfriend in a hotel uptown Lara Jane I struggle in vain To try to make sense of who you became Lara Jane a temptress's game you gave them your love and dishonored my name Lara Jane..Lara Jane.. You found the courage to finally leave and have me served with your divorce decree The embers smoldered then finally died I felt the anguish but I never cried The house is empty the dreams are now gone our story's ended you found a new 'John' Good memories poisoned and dying so fast I think I've really come to know you at last Lara Jane how deep is the stain that runs in your heart and who do you blame? Lara Jane an endless refrain of bitter betrayal Gave nothing but pain, Lara Jane..Lara Jane.. I've had to live through heartache and lies but from the ashes of our love I will rise, I will rise Lara Jane, I'm saying goodbye to the love that we knew Lara Jane, I'm saying hello to a life without you Lara Jane.. Lara Jane..

04. Ive Had Enough
Lyrics
John PuckettI've had enough of misery and dark despair and I've had enough you know it's all been more than I can bear I've lived through the betrayals and the lies I've learned to see the truth behind your brilliant disguise I've had enough of your deception and your discontent and I've had enough of false perceptions and your true intent you know you fooled me once, even fooled me twice I never thought our love was something that you'd want to sacrifice oh! I've had enough for a lifetime living with you I've had enough of the neediness that you profess and I've had enough of your ambitions I can only guess Reflecting on the things you put me through it seems I gave my heart to someone I never really knew I've had enough for a lifetime living with you Sifting through the wreckage of what you left behind hoping to find answers but there's nothing there to find I've had enough of pondering those hopeless days and I've had enough of wandering in that endless maze Love made in heaven turned into hell on earth and girl the price I paid was far beyond what it was worth oh! but I've had enough for a lifetime living with you I've had enough for a lifetime living with you

05. Deserted Heart
Lyrics
John PuckettThere's a house in a field not far from me that was abandoned a long time ago The shutters blew off the roof caved in from a long winters heavy snow I started to think how much my heart is kind of like that run down place worn out, neglected, broken down I'm in similar dire straits Well there is nothing inside the door is bolted and locked its been a very long time since anyone's even knocked Once a place full of hope with dreams that never came true where the owner is now no one has even a clue A place where love can't grow where only cold winds blow I feel things falling apart in my deserted heart..deserted heart I try to imagine how things were at this house so very long ago a beautiful garden full of flowers where now the weeds and the brambles grow The laughter of children fill my ears while they play with mom and dad in the yard an innocent time but then things changed and the old dreams they just die so hard Now there is nothing inside the door is bolted and locked and its been such a long time since anyone's even knocked Once a place full of hope with dreams that never came true where the owner is now no one has even a clue A place where love can't grow where only cold winds blow I feel things falling apart in my deserted heart What my heart needs is someone just to care like a broken house in need of repair it falls to ruin if nobody's there Maybe some things are better left in the past where they belong It doesn't make sense to resurrect something good that's gone so wrong I'll just let it go get on with life all is fair in love and in war and like this old house I'm left behind but I just don't seem to care anymore Cause there is nothing inside my door is bolted and locked it's been a very long time since anyone's even knocked I was a man full of hope and dreams that never came true as for where I am now I haven't even a clue A place where love can't grow where only cold winds blow I feel things falling apart in my deserted heart

06. The Deepest Of Dreams
Lyrics
John PuckettTo go beyond the world of troubles to a place I've rarely seen Maybe tonight I'll finally come to the place of the deepest of dreams It might be my imagination that flow and wanders like a stream but now I'm slipping into darkness to the deepest of dreams I wish I never had to wake up and leave the deepest of dreams

07. Ever On
Lyrics
John PuckettLife is a journey through many terrains from the gardens of pleasure to the deserts of pain mountains of glory to the valleys of despair all are familiar for I have been there I've wandered through the days of childhood on a path through a wonderland made my way to adulthood, I became a man I ventured through careers and marriage took a road that seemed so long I failed but still I journey ever on..ever on.. A road untraveled, my future unclear been waiting for a sign to appear Here in the wasteland of memories gone by the years have passed in the blink of an eye My heart so heavy, a load I must bear deep is this canyon, desperate my prayer This wall before me so barren and gray afraid to climb it but I know I can't stay and I must gather all my strength look upward be careful and not look down press on until I reach a higher ground The nights are dark and lonely but tomorrow brings the dawn I'll survive and I'll journey ever on..ever on.. Oh how I long for love that's gone ever on.. As I move forward and follow the flow of life's dark rivers..I'm all alone Deep is the mystery of the road up ahead so ever changing this world that I tread I'll try to keep myself on the straight and narrow but I worry that I might slip I'll cross that bridge when I come to it I'll do my best when I come to the crossroads I might be right or I might be wrong but either way I'll journey ever on..ever on.. ever on.

08. Walk With Me Lord
Lyrics
John PuckettWalk with me Lord, through this wilderness I tread I am lost I have no water and no bread Walk with me Lord, I'm a man without a home for now it seems that I am reaping what I've sown I've gone astray, I've lived my life and did things my own way and now I pray, Your light shines on the darkest of my days Walk with me Lord, through these trials that I must face let me wonder at Your mercy and Your grace Walk with me Lord, show me a better way to live Please take this burden from me teach me to forgive So long in the dark, I stumbled through a life that's fallen apart I have been scarred, so deeply Lord please heal my broken heart I have been unfaithful, I've been living such a lie I have been unwise, I now realize I need to walk with You Lord to be at peace with where I am to know there's always hope for such a broken man I'll walk with you lord, and when I stumble and I fall Your hand will pick me up and lead me through it all Let me praise Your name, let me praise Your name.. Teach me the way that I should go watch over me and let me know the way, let me know the way.. In this world I will struggle with the human race but in You I've found the perfect place for me, a perfect place for me My sweet Lord, I was so blind but now I see, Thank You Jesus!!

09. Just For You
Lyrics
John PuckettI was wrong in ever wanting you to be someone you never could be We had loved, and once upon a time things were simple between you and me we were free It wasn't long and you found another love as for me I never did quite let go angry words, I know, that's all you ever heard the only feelings that I dared to show how could you know of the battle that rages within the walls of my heart closing in I thought that our love was worth fighting for but I was wrong, so here's a song, only for you Just you, and now it's up to me to surrender and just face the truth and find the strength to travel down this road that I never would have wanted to choose why did you? Moving on and learning to forgive has been so hard and I just don't know why So I wrote you this song to say 'I wish you well' and finally to just say 'goodbye' and stop looking to place all the blame and stop holding onto all of this pain like it's worth something but I know it isn't its not worth a thing..its not worth a thing and despite all the troubles we've been through there's still a place in my heart only for you, just you, just for you
