Songwriter specializing in modern rock, country, easy listening and pop music.
I'm a songwriter with a wide variety of influences. I am currently seeking a publisher for one or more of my songs. Though I focus on commercially viable Country/Rock and Adult Contemporary, my wide range of infuences ensures that on any given CD of my work, there's something for all tastes in music.

Lyrics
“Being Alone” Capers Simmons VERSE I He sits alone next to the window in the restaurant booth He’s was a player when he was younger, now he’s long in the tooth He blew his chances with the good ones that he knew in his youth He turned to liquor, tried to drown there in the scotch and vermouth He drinks another gin and tonic Just another alcoholic, it’s true Drinking alone VERSE II She’s by herself in her apartment and she’s watching TV She’s got her popcorn, got her pizza and her pint of ice cream She needs the comfort food to fill the hole that loneliess leaves But nobody likes a fatty, at least that’s what she thinks And if she never starts believing That she’s somebody that’s worth needing she’ll keep Eating alone BRIDGE You’re all alone again, you’re waiting by the phone again At least for you someday it will ring You’re brokenhearted now, the nightingale has fallen down At least for you someday she will sing VERSE III There was a man, there was woman—shared a name, shared a home They had two point seven children. As they watched the kids grow They drifted further from each other. It all happened so fast They didn’t know how to recover when they saw it at last And though they share a bed each evening There’s a gulf that lies between them. They sleep, Dreaming alone. ~ BRIDGE ~ VERSE IV A million stories I could tell you and they all start the same It doesn’t matter age or color, size or shape, face or name Because their hearts are treading water, but they can’t stay afloat And they can’t find their missing pieces in the ocean of souls And there’s nothing you can do When you drinking deepest blue on your own Drowning alone And it’s only plain to see that There’s no sadder thing to be than alone Being alone
