At the break of day
When my dreams Have come and gone The memories will fade away But I wonder for how long Not too long For I know an evening comes And I hear the night-birds' tune I remember where it all begun As we danced beside the moon It's always on my mind But where did it come from Our love was the strongest kind So where can it have gone? Won't someone show me the way To turn my night into day Or throw a rope around the moon No, don't let it see me alone |

Once I loved a pretty woman
'Till one day she up and ran Supposed I should have Felt it coming But it's hard to think of her With another man Oh my lady, I need you Though from time to time I don't seem to Once the sun shone in my garden 'Till my love took off And left me with the rain Now my heart and I are starting To forget it all and start out again My heart is hurting so bad And all the trees look so sad And all the love We could have had Oh, from time to time |

It's raining outside
But that's not unusual But the way that I'm feeling Is becoming usual I guess you could say The clouds are moving away Away from your days And into mine Now it's raining inside And that's a shame And it's getting to me A happy man Why should you want To waste all my time The world is yours But I'm mine Rain, rain, rain, in my tears Measuring carefully my years Shame, shame, shame In my mind See what you've done to my life Rain, rain, rain, in my tears Measuring carefully my years Shame, shame, shame In my mind See what you've done to my life See what you've done to my life |

Although now it seems like never
When we were even less together I appeared to have my back to the wall And the way things were going There was no way of knowing If I was having any luck at all Silently, suddenly Standing before me An old man awaited his death Part of me cried out But none turned to hide For no curses distorted his breath It was then I took to thinking And my hands took to writing And my dreams came In answer to the call Waiting in wonder My toughts ran like thunder Could it be that I've been wasting my mind I grew sort of cold As the vision unfolded Bursting the shackles of time So I gathered what I had I took a look at What was going down And it made me kinda sad Seeing all the circles Going slowly round And the stars sang in harmony It was so perfect that It laid me down And the rainclouds Were tossed away Seemed like the world was lost And I would drown in its sound Somewhere along the way I don't know where I had really believed I was poor Looking, not seeing The point of my being When all of my fortune is sure |

When the leaving birds
Fill the stone grey sky And the green, green leaves Turn away and die And the once warm sun Has to run and hide And the Winter clouds Begin their stormy ride Cold black shadows cross my eyes And help to make me realize You've gone, oh Cold Autumn Sunday Still I walk alone The paths we shared And I try to recreate the love we had For you were my life And my heart is sad And it's strange how autumn Used to make me glad Only now an empty sky is there To let me know how much I care You've gone, oh Cold Autumn Sunday I'm near to dying No use denying that it's true Spend my whole time crying Finding ways of trying Not to be blue, oh, over you |

Momma told me one day
I'd hear the bells Ringing in my head But the ones I think I'm hearing I've imagined in my bed She said love will Watch and guide you Walk beside you in the dark But I'm scared at night With no love in sight Though I'm really trying hard Love, love, love, love Where are you now That I need you Show your face Don't ever go away It's so hard to Find my friends today For so few of them have faces But without you in my heart My world's a really empty place When I finally meet you Will I find the words to greet you If it comes to that Will you even know my name Will you wear a coat Or an angel's wings So I'll know it's you that's coming I just can't stay With my life this way You'll have to think of something Or else how shall I know How shall I know |

I once read a story
About a world full of love Of freedom and glory As seen through the eyes of a child We learned to believe That the earth was all Ocean and ground Though we were soon to see That there wasn't Enough to go 'round I saw words and wars Though my books had told me My life would be one long song Man make laws Although laws make man So uncertain So uncertain what's right And what's wrong Confused without reason Stumbling helplessly day by day It was all so deceiving For that child was me And I can't find the book anymore For that child was me And I can't find the book anymore |

See how the sun shines
Beyond the grey sky Then watch the snow fall And ask yourself why Lovers keep loving Through wind and through rain Winter or summer Real love is the same Watch from the wayside And you could be left out Fearful of the day When it's too late to shout Love is like time It will wait for no one Give it and seek it or You'll find you're all alone You could save the day You can show the way To all the lonely hearts You see before you But before you choose To ignore my song Am I right or wrong ? Or am I dreaming ? Dreaming, dreaming ... See how the sun shines |

How well I remember the days
In the house on the hill With the cat, the raccoon and A fat lazy daydream to kill And the moon to sing me to sleep And the birds to open my eyes And the first thing I'd see Would be you And you made me happy I know I could love you If I knew that you wanted me to And the house on the hill And all of the things we could do How good it all is just to live And to need nothing more The way I feel now I don't know But I don't need to be sure 'Cause the sun that brought us together Will follow my dreaming forever And the first thing I'll see will be you And you make me happy |

Once upon a time
Reason lived with rhyme And today I see you're in love with me I just sit and count My time is running out All I want is you You and your heart too But don't be too late to take my heart My love won't wait to make a start I see us riding on a wave of joy I see us running round the moon One day we're sure to Find our rainbow's end to begin again Oh, how I love you |

When will you rise
When will you rise again When will you rise And show me the way I need you now in my uncertainty I need your strength To face the new day Swept off my feet By life's sweet mystery Sometimes it's hard Just getting along I know you're there Why won't you come to me You know I'm lost without a song Dance with me, sweet inspiration Seems to me only you know how Dance with me, oh dance with me Share my fantasy just for now Inspiration's gonna rise again Gonna take me by surprise again You'll see the light in my eyes again Inspiration's gonna rise again |

Woman you are a mystery to me
You're really not what I thought You would be from the start And I've tried just as hard As any man can But you never seem to Understand my heart Woman Lady we've been together For a good long time But every time I start to think You're all mine, you stand back I tried but I'm slowly Running out of ideas And my joy is quickly Turning to tears and that's a fact Woman, you gotta trust me If we're gonna stay in love Then you know Thats the way that it must be Won't you try a little harder To understand |

New routine ...
Risin' early, sleepin' easy I got myself a new routine Time for talkin' and lazy walkin' Rememberin' the things I've seen New routine I've got myself a new routine If I keep smilin' it'll turn to laughin' And day by day Get better and better Got a lady in this eye of mine Gonna quit my dreaming Go on out and get her Sometimes people change their names But stay the same inside To me it's such a pointless exercise Wouldn't it be better If they changed their ways And made a little sacrifice They might become so much wiser You never know, no you never know Appreciation and dedication Coming from my Dim and distant past But with patience We might stay together And find a love that just might last |

Mysteries sometimes need
Special people to stop and read In between the written lines To find the meaning Inside the mystery Inside the mystery You and I, we take it slow Writing stories as we go Understanding what we see To the world it's hidden deep Inside the mystery To you and I everything is fine To the world it ain't so right, no no Bur who's to say who's right And who's wrong Let us move along tonight When you and I have travelled on to Greener pastures and clearer seas We will live in all their dreams Inside the mystery Maybe it's an illusion Or a masquerade Or it could be a decision That only you and I can make While jokers come in thousands And the actor hopes to deceive You and I have a paradise Right here inside the mystery To you and I everything is fine To the world it ain't so right Bur who's to say who's right And who's wrong Let us move along tonight When you and I have travelled on to Greener pastures and clearer seas We will live in all their dreams Inside the mystery Oh yeah, inside the mystery |

Well I picked her up on the 44
One evening back in July She looked so pretty In the full moonlight That I just couldn't pass her by And we hadn't rolled But a mile or more Before the lady started Making her moves It was becoming steadily clearer That she was into a boogie groove Well she said she was hurtin' From too much flirtin' And I shouldn't get the wrong idea So I said what's a pretty girl like you Doin' in a place like here Well she got into a fix Lookin' for some kicks Her high ideals had been blown So I tried to be nice, I told her twice She was the prettiest girl in town And she said brown eyed boy Play me a rock 'n' roll tune And maybe there's a chance we can Dance by the light of the moon Yeah, brown eyed boy Won't you play me a rock 'n roll tune And maybe there's a chance we can Dance by the light of the moon |
