Soothsayer
Words and Music by Scott Ibex
So say soothsayer, what say my heart? Will it be open for love, when chimes return?
So say soothsayer, what say my soul? Can I forgive myself, for letting true love go?
Can colors brighten? Can skies alight? Can magic lift my guilt away, can my soul take flight?
Can we be even? Fresh slate, clean start? Can life just let me be, somewhere between this heart?
So say soothsayer, will there be luck? If I will participate in life, can love just come?
So say soothsayer, what say your grace? Will fate bestow upon me a second chance beyond the take?
As you wish, as I wonder about...
So say soothsayer...

This Old Guitar
Words and Music by Scott Ibex
Wish I could walk a lifetime in the love we had
Wish our love could cross the ocean of the good and bad
Why’s it so hard, for expectation to float away
As I sit here 6 years gone shedding tears about what you’d said… to
This old guitar, it’s seen a thousand broken dreams and sung them without needs or wants
This old guitar, it’s been through sadness, madness, gladness, and whoever the hell you are
I wish you could see, the beauty of the love you claimed
Instead of your shrink’s idea of who’s to blame
If only things, could have been different, if only time
But I sit here 6 years gone still crying for the love we had… through
This old guitar, it’s seen a thousand broken dreams and sung them without needs or wants
This old guitar, it’s been through sadness, madness, gladness, and whoever the hell you are
If we could walk together, one more time,
If love could sail, the oceans between those fights,
Why’s it so hard for expectations to float away,
When I know you told me not to bring them, to Italy…
And so I sing, and so you cry
And so I try, to accept, your alibi,
And so I sink, beneath the pain
With one more prayer, this one last time… to
This old guitar, it’s seen a thousand broken dreams and sung them without needs or wants
This old guitar, it’s been through sadness, madness, gladness, and whoever the hell you are
This old guitar, when I die may it live on for another artist’s heart
This old guitar, it’s been through ocean deep emotion and it don’t judge me by my scars... this old guitar.

In Your Sweet Heart
Words and Music by Scott Ibex
Found this girl in the morning light,
wish to God I could be with her and it would feel, feel so right,
as it seems in my heart.
Long Brown hair she can sing like the wind does blow,
but her heart I can never know.
I can never tell what is true in her sweet heart.
Oh I don’t know where we’re going and I don’t know where she’s been.
I wish I could know now.
Why can’t you open your heart to me?
Trust me, I’ll let you in.
Don’t tear me apart, again.
Found this girl in the morning light,
wish to g-d I could be with her and it would feel, feel so right,
as it seems in my heart.
Sweet brown eyes melt my heart like the artic sky,
she knows me well and we’ve shared together so, so much time,
oh but still, she never tells.
Oh I don’t know where we’re going and I don’t know where she’s been.
I wish I could know now.
Why can’t you open your heart to me?
Trust me, I’ll let you in.
Don’t tear me apart, again.
Long Brown hair she can sing like the wind does blow,
but her heart I can never know.
I can never tell what is true in her sweet heart.
Tell me what is true in your sweet heart.

Mirth
Words and Music by Scott Ibex
Inside your soul, you know what’s right
Just let it come to light
Don’t fight the feeling of sweet change
Don’t stray from all God does say
To find mirth…
You gotta listen to your heart
And when you see a sign, don’t depart, follow thee
Let it be… everything that is good, you know is free
In happiness, this is what you‘ll see.

Worth the Wait
Words and Music by Scott Ibex
If you can find me, I can find you too.
Yes, I’m right here, waiting just like you.
Home, is a lonely place these days,
But when I find you, it will be worth the wait.
Oh sweet dear, lay down your head,
And dream love dreams, in your sweet bed.
Home, is a lonely place these days,
But when I find you, it will be worth the wait.
Love, I dream of... It’s love, I dream of.

Right In Front of You
Words and Music by Scott Ibex
I just can’t get enough
Just can’t get enough of you
Beautiful you are
Beautiful, it feels so true
I don’t know if you love me
I don’t care I love you
I never want to wreck this
I hope someday you’ll say, I do
You tell me lots of stories
You share will me your soul
Love’s, so easy, to talk about
But sometimes you don’t know it
When it’s right in front of you
I’m right in front of you
I don’t know if you love me
I don’t care I love you
I never want to wreck this
I hope someday you’ll say, I do

Maiden Fair
Words and Music by Scott Ibex
This is the last song I’ll write of you,
Oh my sweet maiden fair.
They might say I never loved you,
they don’t know how my heart ails.
Guess sometimes in life, things don’t work out,
Even if you said we’re meant to meet.
Sometimes you have to let love go fair,
if it comes back then you’ll see.
Maiden fair, I really loved you.
Maiden fair, you made me breathe.
Maiden fair, I will think of you.
Maiden fair, my heart you’ll keep,
Yes Maiden fair my heart you’ll keep
And though we part more as strangers,
it seemed I knew you from the start.
Maiden fair, I’ll always love you,
somewhere deep inside my heart.
Life is strange. Love is hard.
You never know just what you’ll find, when your heart is blind.
Sometimes, no matter how much, you wish,
What one sees the other hides, and what one seeks the other finds.
Maiden fair, I really loved you.
Maiden fair, you made me sing.
Maiden fair, I will think of you.
Maiden fair, my heart you’ll keep.
Maiden fair, my heart you keep.

On a Broken Road
Words and Music by Scott Ibex.
On a cold dark winter’s night
I’m huddled up with you
You gotta believe in life
If you want life to believe in you.
Sometimes it’s hard
Sometimes unfair
Living with your ghosts
Listen to your heart
on a broken road
Yes on a cold dark winter’s night
I’ll be huddled up with you
Smiling deep inside
Like you always make me do.
This song’s for g-d
Mysterious and true
G-d will take you through
If you just believe
G-d will find you too.
So on a cold dark winter’s night
Won’t you be waiting with your friend
Who’s infinite goodness
Will see you through (to the end)
