Only What You Wanted to Do
Words/Music by John Eagleson & Carl Hadigian
You couldn’t bear to sing that line
57th take third time tonight
Only what you wanted to do and who you wanted to be
Or so you thought those dreams were yours for free
Nebraska nights cold picture town
Western skies bring young dreamers down
Only what you want to do and who you wanted to be
All the world’s for you, midsummer green
Only what you wanted to do and who you wanted to be
Or so you thought those years were yours for free
The music like the Siren’s ghost
The haunted hills told lies and boasts
But that line is old and getting older
The glares are cold and getting colder
Let’s hear it one more time, they say,
Hit that high note then be on your way
Motel or mansion, I don’t fit in
Just an easy chair to drift off in
Only what you wanted to do and who you wanted to be
Fleeting memory, your dreams somehow free

Leave It All Behind
Words/Music by John Eagleson & Carl Hadigian
When it’s one more night
And you feel it hot, then cold, then gone
And your voice it fades, then bold
Its sad and lonely song
Is this the latest or is it the last?
What happens when the best of your love is passed?
Will you leave in time? Or just be left behind?
Will you leave in time? Or wither to die at the end of the line?
When beyond’s in sight
And you’re nursing your frustration
Is it worth a try
To meet low expectations?
Is this the latest or is it the last?
The song that dissolves when the limits are passed
And will you leave in time or just be left behind?
Will you leave in time, in time to leave behind
Fighting now only leaves more doubt
Voices ring out cold and loud
But when you sing, sing high…Where only lone eagles fly
Leave it behind, try and love again this time
When you leave in time, Just leave it all behind
Just leave it all behind
and know.... that you left….just in time

John Eagleson Lancaster, Pennsylvania
From the generation of 70's suburban basement garage folk pop rock kids who wanted to grab a guitar and write a song and become their own Bob, Neil, Bruce, Steve (Forbert) etc. This is my musical universe. My suburban life!
If you like John Eagleson, you may also like:
Introspective, homespun folk tunes from John Donne that feel informed by the sugary bleakness of '80s and '90s indie pop.
