It's a gem.

lyrics

Gem
Music & Lyrics By: Nathaniel Hockman

I wasn't looking for gold.
I was looking for a gem.
I wasn't looking for gold.
I was looking for a gem.
I wasn't looking for gold.
I was looking for a gem.
I wasn't looking for gold.
I was lucky for my lips to touch them.
I wasn't looking for gold.
I was looking for a gem.
I wasn't looking for gold.
I was looking for a gem.
I wasn't looking for gold.
I was looking for a gem.
I wasn't looking for gold.
I was lucky for my lips to touch them.

Then everything changes.
There's nothing like an untold story,
a moment of significant glory.
But a girl like you
a gem like you,
I do adore, more and
through and through.
Where are you?
Where are you?
The people that I speak of,
Where are you?
Where are you?
Where are you?
The people that I speak of,
Where are you?
Going to have to find,
search and find,
the people that I'm missing,
the gem that I am kissing.
Going to have to find,
search and find,
the people that I'm missing,
the gem that I am kissing.

What did they tell you to say?
Not they but him and his thoughts they say,
I'm nor here but there,
but I'd like to think that everything I thought of
comes out the way that I thought of.

What did they tell you to say?
Not they but him and his thoughts they say,
I'm nor here but there,
but I'd like to think that everything I thought of
comes out the way that I thought of.

I nearly break away
the moods I stray
and get rid of,
a salty end to a day.
That's what my brain
thinks of today.

It's not just the sounds I hear in my head,
but the colors that I see instead.
In the mind-frame of a creative being,
that's the type of gem that I'm seeing.
It's not just the sounds I hear in my head,
but the colors that I see instead.
In the mind-frame of a creative being,
that's the type of gem that I'm seeing.
It's not just the sounds I hear in my head,
but the colors that I see instead.
In the mind-frame of a creative being,
that's the type of gem that I'm seeing.
It's not just the sounds I hear in my head,
but the colors that I see instead.
In the mind-frame of a creative being,
that's the type of gem that I'm seeing.

Lickety-split I jump back and I feel the groove,
I never knew if the groove could make,
you move but I hope you had fun today,
this is what I say.
Lickety-split I jump back and I feel the groove,
I never knew if the groove could make,
you move but I hope you had fun today,
this is what I say.
Lickety-split I jump back and I feel the groove,
I never knew if the groove could make,
you move but I hope you had fun today,
this is what I say.
Lickety-split I jump back and I feel the groove,
I never knew if the groove could make,
you move but I hope you had fun today,
this is what I say.

A long series of recordings started in 1997 as I began to figure out how to make music and recordings on my own. The discography will take some time to upload. My archive is under construction....always.
