The Simple Things - by Steve Salterszo ©Pinetree Music® 2012
1.
I use to know what it takes
To survive in this world
But I stepped on the brakes
My interactions been deferred
Well God help the man
Who doubts what he's sure off
Loses faith, loses heart, Falls out of love
Just left to count the cost
It's the simple things in life
That mean the most
2.
I use to feel the warmth
Of life's sunlight on my face
I use to chase down my dreams
Caught up in life's rat race
Well God help the man
Who walks the broad way
Believes he can have it all
Have it all today
Forgets to count the cost
It's the simple things in life
That mean the most
b.
There's always a price to pay
No matter what road you take
No matter what part you play
You cannot forsake
It all comes at a cost
It's the simple things in life
That mean the most

When The Sun Goes Down - by Steve Salterszo © Pinetree Music® 2012
1.
So you fall by the wayside, lose direction
Shadows closing in
Once had the heart, but now blinded by distraction
You've lost your focus again
Laden weight that's placed on your shoulders
legs buckle under the strain
Your castle walls fall hit by their boulders
Now all you feel is the pain
Stand up, Stand up and be counted
Open your eyes and you will see
From east to west the lamplight is fading
Peace will last briefly
When the sun goes down
2.
Turn the screw, tighter and tighter
Their net catches all who fall
There's no escape for the freedom fighter
Who will answer the call
Kept out of the loop, You only see a little
Just enough to cast doubt
Travel on blinded by their deception
What's it really all about
b.
When darkness falls, all will be forgotten
Tomorrow is a new day
But don't forget, just remember
Every little word that they say

Your Love - by Steve Salterszo ©Pinetree Music® 2012
1.
Summer sun turns to Autumn rain
Daylight starts fading
Long nights sat alone with my pain
From your memory there is no hiding
I'm haunted by your love
Everywhere your essence a reminder
I tear my heart apart
But I just can't find her
c.
Your love left me crying, left me crying
Your love left me dying, left me dying
2.
Your voice whispers on the wind
I'm so sorry but this is over
Your love you did rescind
Once drunken with passion now I'm sober
How do I stop the pain
From this wound there seems no healing
I break apart the memories of you
But this soberness sends my heart reeling

Run - by Steve Salterszo © Pinetree Music®2012
1.
Can you give me some directions
Can you show me the way
Cos I feel a little lost
By the signs you convey
Cos some things gotta hold on you
Now there's only one thing I can do
C.
I'm gonna run, gonna run
I'm gonna run, gonna run
2.
I'm losing my patience
But you say you need more time
Well have we really got something going
Or is this mountain too high to climb
Well do I stay or do I go
Is this love cos I need to know
b.
Well baby please understand, I don't want to go
I'm in love with you, And I thought you should know
But things are getting complicated
And there leaving me so frustrated

King For A Day - by Steve Salterszo © Pinetree Music® 2012
1.
I refuse to accept the view
that mankind is so tragically
Bound to a starless midnight of hatred and war
When love brakes the bonds of captivity
So take your stand, be a man
For justice, truth and liberty
The time is right, to do what is right
send a message, set the captive free
King for a day
I have a dream
King for a day
All men will have equality
King for a day
Is ignorance all we care to know
King for a day
love unconditionally
2.
Each time a man, stands up for an ideal
Sees the injustice and oppression of the weak
Acts on behalf of those who can't help themselves
With unarmed truth he will speak

Fly - by Steve Salterszo ©Pinetree Music®2012
1.
He was just a young man starting out
Hoping to carve out a plan
Learning what it takes
To be a man
He'd had enough of small town life
Said "there's got to be more than than this"
Wouldn't settle for life dealing him this bad hand
So he cast of his shackles
Started up his engine and was gone
c.
Sometimes it's hard when your not were you wanna be
Spread out your wings and fly
You've got the key, open the door to your own destiny
Spread out your wings and fly
2.
She was just a young wife struggling
Trying to make ends meet
With a husband who was both a
Drunkard and a cheat
She bore the scars of his kinda loving
But there's only so much someone can take
So she packed up her bags and walked out the door
With tears in her eyes
She gritted her teeth and was gone
b.
Why settle for less than your worth
When there's so much in this life to unearth
You've got to fight for the life you want
Don't let anyone or yourself say you can't

Fairytales and Lullabies - by Steve Salterszo © Pinetree Music®
1.
There were tears in my eyes, even after all your lies
When you turned and walked away,
You said a few words,on your own behalf,
Didn't give me a chance to say
Well life's not all about you, and the things that you do
But your so self absorbed you can't see
That the love that we had, was never as bad
As you made it out to be.
You say true love doesn't exist, that's its only a fairytale
There's no relationship that can last, they're all doomed to fail
c.
Fairytales and Lullabies
If that's all love is then I still believe
Have faith ,take hope, give love
What you give you will receive
They're not just stories full of lies
These fairytales and lullabies
2.
Tried to be your prince charming, but you found that alarming
kept your distance and pushed me away
Your knight in shinning armour, so no one could harm her
But you didn't want loved that way
Said you needed some space, found it too hard to face
Said my love was just too intense
You needed a break, but I could not forsake
The only thing in my life that made sense
You say true love doesn't exist, that's its only a fairytale
There's no relationship that can last, they're all doomed to fail

Silver Lining - by Steve Salterszo ©Pinetree Music®2012
1.
Well you say when your down
You hit rock bottom
Well if your talkin' bout having problems
Every bodies got 'em
Well you might as well cheer up
cos it may never happen
Try to smile through it
And your burden will lighten
c.
Cos every cloud has a silver lining
And if you look close enough you'll find them
Troubles only last for a season
So there's no use in crying bout it
No rhyme or reason
Every cloud has a silver lining
2.
Well you say that your glass
Is always half empty
And if it wasn't for bad luck
You wouldn't have any
But if you only see the bad
You'll never see the good
Come on try harder
Have a change in mood

Together But Apart

Together But Apart - words & music by Daryl P Hall/Steve Salterszo
1.
It's the evening once again
I have a drink to end the day
To numb the thoughts and loneliness
I have when your away
Anger and anxiety
Gatecrash their way into my mind
They remain,the uninvited guests
An exit they can't find
Together but apart
Tonight you're far away
Together but apart now
Can I withstand another day?
2.
I feel so all alone now
Without you by my side
I'm mother, father, confidante
Protector, nurse and guide
In this partnership of one
Isolation suffocates me
I feel so helpless and so trapped
And I just can't break free
3.
All the big decisions taken
Belong to I myself and me
While your career flourishes
Many miles across the sea
My pillow knows the reason
For all the secret tears I've cried
But still I rise, put on a smile
And greet the world outside

I Just Smile

I Just Smile - by Alexandra Skiathitis, Steve Salterszo ©Pinetree Music®2012
I just smile, when I'm feeling blue
I just smile to myself, And bid all my sad tears adieu
1.
If at times you feel, like you want to cry
And life seems such a trial
Above the clouds there's blue sky
So make your tears, into a smile
And you will find all your troubles
Will run a mile
2.
As you travel, On life's narrow-way
Its many up and downs
Remember it's quite true to say
One smile, Is worth a dozen frowns
A single word of praise
Can defeat a thousand put downs
3.
Happiness, comes at time to all
But sadness comes unbidden
Sometimes tears must fall
And when you see someone, with sadness on their face
Just make them smile and the world will seem a better place
I just smile... smile!

Don't Wait On Me

Don't Wait For Me - by Steve Salterszo ©Pinetree Music®2012
Go on without me, I don't want to keep you late
For your appointment with your dreams
Hurry now before they close the gate
Under panicked breath she blasphemes
Some of us our born to go nowhere
Some of us will not excel
But asking someone to carry you some of the way
May make them exchange heaven for hell
So if you ever get a chance to run, don't you look back
Don't wait on me, Don't wait for me
Cos I don't want you living all your life full of regret
Don't you wait for me, Don't wait for me
And don't look back
For some the path to take, is so straight and true
For others the way is so unclear
Finding the way was second nature to you
While a rocky course I had to steer
You always knew someday you would have to leave
Your love had changed to sympathy
Love light as a feather, to a heavy ball and chain
Signalled the end of you and me
