Tony Payne

Tony Payne grew up in Newfoundland in the beautiful Bonne Bay area, Gros Morne National Park. Trained as a mason, cabinet maker/carpenter. He worked away in Ontario, BC, and PEI, but Newfoundland always called him back. Was with the same lady for twenty years, and have five beautiful kids between them. The eldest, Alex King, is a talented artist; the rest are still young, and he hopes they find their true calling in life also. His take on life is “life is too long to be angry.”

Contents

Waiting for music

Lonely Makes the Best Melodies

Still Haven’t Loved Enough

When the stones have fallen down

Is She a Good Woman?

I Won’t Chase You Any More

I Think Jesus Looked Away

In The Morning

Looking For a Peaceful Man

To The Devil and The Cross

Weathered and Rusty

Too Easy When I’m Stoned

A pretty Face

The Old Man

I could sense the devil from the wine

Let’s pretend

No Matter What the Weather

Second Hand Wife

The Frump

When the darkness disappears

The Devil in Your Head

For Your Wedding Ring

Long Before My Fall

Jesus I Walked alone

I Want To Be a Fisherman

The Last Page

Only The Heart Can See

Think It All Away

I You Don’t Love Me

Whiskey Stoned

Each Night You Keep Me Warm

Who cares if Others Think You’re Strange

You Can’t Take It With You

Love Found

It Keeps Me from Feeling Blue

I Guess I Miss You Baby

If I Learn to Play, Sing and Dance

Sometimes

Stormy Lonely Night

When the Wind Begins To Blow

Children, Beer and Time?

Our Kids Will Learn to Fly

Summer of 83

Maybe It’s Just Bad Timing

Don’t wait Until Tomorrow

Every Time It Rains

Smiley

Lost love

Let go

No One Shoots Pool Any More

Back To Hell

How the Time Flies By

Fridays I Don’t Even Try

Brothers

On A Divided Highway

Waiting for music

If you know how to play the fiddle

Or make music with your old guitar

Don’t be afraid to share your talent

Sit down right where you are

I have been writing lyrics

Without music to make you dance

Just a few rhymes scribbled on paper

Feel free to take a chance

I don’t care if it is easy listening

I don’t care if it is rock and roll

If you can write country music

It will be good for my country soul

I write at least a song a day

365 of them can’t be bad

You can choose the happy tunes

Or you can choose the ones that’s sad

And if you have some time to teach me

A chord or two would be fine

You may need a little patience

Maybe I could make some music mine

So take your time and read each page

You’re sure to find at least one you like

I promise not to sing to loud

For fear some will take my mike

Lonely Makes the Best Melodies

Sitting all alone here with shadows

Seems no one talks to me at all

I’m just thinking about some old friends

With the clock ticking on the wall

I can’t say
