Lover,
There will be another one Who'll hover Over you beneath the sun Tomorrow See the things That never come Today When you see me Fly away without you Shadow on the things you know Feathers fall around you And show you the way to go It's over, it's over. Nestled In your wings my little one This special Morning brings another sun Tomorrow See the things That never come Today When you see me Fly away without you Shadow on the things you know Feathers fall around you And show you the way to go It's over, it's over. |

Listen to me and I will try to
Sing you a song that makes you see How much I long to be beside you And how much you mean to me Sometimes a song's the only way to Show you my heart will never stray So if I can't find words to tell you I'll sing what I cannot say Let me sing you a field full of waving flowers I'll sing of the sun on the sea Oh this is the way that you make me feel Every time you smile at me Will you only smile for me At times it must seem I take for granted All of the little things you do Know in your heart I'm so enchanted And still so in love with you Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Sometimes a song's the only way to Show you my heart will never stray So if I can't find words to tell you I'll sing what I cannot say Let me sing you a field full of waving flowers I'll sing of the sun on the sea Oh this is the way that you make me feel Every time you smile at me Will you only smile for me Listen to me and I will try to Sing you a song that makes you see How much I long to be beside you And how much you mean to me Yes and how much you mean to me |

Waiting in the wings
Your courage sings before you falter . . . It's just another way to say what's there but never shows It's just another day to lay your sins before the altar And where it's going to end this time around nobody knows. Every time it seems that you have gained an understanding Those devils at your heels reach up and try to tip the scales Waking from a dream you see it's all been done without you And every vain attempt to make it stay Is destined to fail. Fury rages through your restless days Shades of time that's gone before Empty cages where the prisoner plays 'Til the door swings closed behind for evermore . . . Evermore... Evermore... Long before we come of age we yearn to leave the garden And wrestle with a myth the hand of fate has faintly drawn But somewhere on the way we feel our hearts begin to harden And see just as we learn to turn around the garden is gone. Fury rages through your restless days Shades of time that's gone before Empty cages where the prisoner plays 'Til the door swings closed behind for evermore . . . Evermore... Evermore... |

Sometimes, in the night I feel it
Near as my next breath and yet, untouchable Silently the past comes stealing Like the taste of some forbidden sweet Along the walls; in shadowed rafters Moving like a thought through haunted atmospheres Muted cries and echoed laughter Banished dreams that never sank in sleep Lost in love and found in reason Questions that the mind can find no answers for Ghostly eyes conspire treason As they gather just outside the door ... Every ghost that calls upon us Brings another measure in the mystery Death is there To keep us honest And constantly remind us we are free Down the ancient corridors And through the gates of time Run the ghosts of days That we left behind Down the ancient corridors And through the gates of time Run the ghosts of dreams That we left behind Sometimes, in the night I feel it Near as my next breath and yet, untouchable Silently the past comes stealing Like the taste of some forbidden sweet Every ghost that calls upon us Brings another measure in the mystery Death is there To keep us honest And constantly remind us we are free Down the ancient corridors And through the gates of time Run the ghosts of days That we left behind |

It's still hard, at six o'clock in the morning To sleep without you And I know that it might Seem too late for love All I know I need you now More than words can say I need you now I've got to find a way I need you now Before I lose my mind I need you now Here I am, I'm looking out my window I'm dreaming about you Can't let you go, at six o'clcok in the morning I feel you beside me And I know that it might Seem too late for love For love Oh, Oh, Oh I need you now More than words can say I need you now I've got to find a way I need you now Before I lose my mind I need you now More than words can say I need you now Oh I got to hear you say I need you now Before I lose my mind I need you now I need you now |

There's a ring around the moon
tonight And a chill in the air And a fire in the stars that hang -- so near; so near. There's a sound in the wind that blows Through the wild mountain holds Like the sighs of a thousand crying souls; Crying souls -- There's a time when the traveller is fated to find That insight has turned his gaze behind -- behind And the steps taken yesterday Will beckon again And lead to his weary journey's end -- journey's end. And in the passage From the cradle to the grave We are born, madly dancing Rushing headlong through the crashing of the days We run on and on Without a backwards glance We run on and on Without a backwards glance. But I cast my fate with the wife of Lot I turned my gaze around Knowing neither what was sought nor what was to be found Heeding weakness, feeding strength Life at length is frail I seek again the river's source through time's dark shadowed veil. In the fast fading century as we spin through the years I pray that our failing vision clears -- our vision clears. And in the passage From the cradle to the grave We are born, madly dancing Rushing headlong through the crashing of the days We run on and on Without a backwards glance We run on and on Without a backwards glance. The places dash and the faces dart Like fishes in a dream Hiding 'neath the murky banks of long forgotten streams The lines of life are never long when seen from end to end The future's never coming and the past has never been. There's a ring around the moon tonight And a chill in the air And a fire in the stars that hang -- so near; so near. |

An only child alone and wild
A cab'net maker's son His hands were meant for diff'rent work And his heart was known to none He left his home and went his lone and solitary way And he gave to me a gift I know I never can repay A quiet man of music Denied a simpler fate He tried to be a soldier once But his music wouldn't wait He earned his love thru' discipline A thund'ring velvet hand His gentle means of sculpting souls Took me years to understand The leader of the band Is tired and his eyes are growing old But his blood runs thru' my instrument And his song is in my soul My life has been a poor attempt to imitate the man I'm just a living legacy To the leader of the band My brother's lives were diff'rent For they heard another call One went to Chicago and the other to St. Paul And I'm in Colorado When I'm not in some hotel Living out this life I've chose And come to know so well I thank you for the music And your stories of the road I thank you for the freedom When it came my time to go I thank you for the kindness And the times when you got tough And papa I don't think I said "I love you" near enough The leader of the band Is tired and his eyes are growing old But his blood runs thru' my instrument And his song is in my soul My life has been a poor attempt to imitate the man I'm just a living legacy To the leader of the band I am the living legacy To the leader of the band |

Every night I ask myself
That same old question: why? And every day the answer Seems more distant I always knew the final Truths lay just beneath the lies But I never thought they'd Be this hard to find... I never thought they'd Be this hard to find... Every time I try to put This puzzle into place There always seems to be A piece that's missing And through the eyes of someone else I look into my face And can't believe the sorrow There I see I can't believe this lonely man Is me... The faster we run The further away the dreams That we chase become And lost in the sun Spinning and turning Blind in the burning Light of day -- We have to turn away.

Across the vein of night
There cuts a path of searing light Burning like a beacon On the edges of our sight At the point of total darkness And the lights divine divide A soul can let its shadow stretch And land on either side -- either side. And balanced on the precipice The moment must reveal Naked in the face of time Our race within the wheel As we hang beneath the heavens And we hover over hell Our hearts become the instruments We learn to play so well. Wealthy the spirit that knows its own flight Stealthy the hunter who slays his own fright Blessed the traveler who journeys the length of the light. Outside the pull of gravity Beyond the spectral veil Within our careful reasoning We search to no avail For the constant in the chaos For the fulcrum in the void Following a destiny Our steps cannot avoid. Across the vein of night There cuts a path of searing light Burning like a beacon On the edges of our sight At the point of total darkness And the lights divine divide A soul can let its shadow Stretch and land on either side. Wealthy the spirit that knows its own flight Stealthy the hunter who slays his own fright Blessed the traveler who journeys the length of the light. In a spiral never-ending Are we drawn towards the source Spinning at the mercy of an unrelenting force So we stare into the emptiness and fall beneath the weight Circling the Nexus in a fevered dance with fate -- Wealthy the spirit that knows its own flight Stealthy the hunter who slays his own fright Blessed the traveler who journeys the length of the light. |

Silent sea
Tell this to me: Where are the children that we used to be Silent sea: At picture shows Where nobody goes And only the heart can see. Starry skies Soft lullabies Where do they go when their melodies die? Starry skies: To a day Far, far away That only the heart may know. Friends we knew Follow us through All of the days of our lives Love we shared Waits for us there Where our wishes forever reside. Falling tears Memories' mirrors Where are summers Oh, where are the years? Carried far To a wandering star That only the heart may know. Friends we knew Follow us through All of the days of our lives Love we shared Waits for us there Where our wishes forever reside. Starry skies Soft lullabies Where do they go when their melodies die?

some say love, it is a river that drowns the tender reed,
some say love, it is a razor that leaves your soul to bleed, some say love, it is a hunger, an endless aching need I say love, it is a flower, and you it`s only seed. It`s the heart, afraid of breaking, that never learns to dance. It`s the dream, afraid of waking, that never takes a chance. It`s the one who won`t be taken, who can not seem to give. And the soul, afraid of dying, that never learns to live When the night has been too lonely, and the road has been too long, And you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong. Just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snow, Lies the seed, that with the sun`s love, in the spring becomes the Rose. |

Same Old Lang Syne
Met my old lover in the grocery store The snow was falling Christmas Eve I stole behind her in the frozen foods And I touched her on the sleeve She didn't recognize the face at first But then her eyes flew open wide She went to hug me and she spilled her purse And we laughed until we cried We took her groceries to the checkout stand The food was totalled up and bagged We stood there lost in our embarrassment As the conversation dragged We went to have ourselves a drink or two But couldn't find an open bar We bought a six-pack at the liquor store And we drank it in her car We drank a toast to innocence, we drank a toast to now And tried to reach beyond the emptiness but neither one knew how She said she'd married her an architect Who kept her warm and safe and dry She would have liked to say she loved the man But she didn't like to lie I said the years had been a friend to her And that her eyes were still as blue But in those eyes I wasn't sure if I saw doubt or gratitude She said she saw me in the record stores And that I must be doing well I said the audience was heavenly but the traveling was hell We drank a toast to innocence, we drank a toast to now And tried to reach beyond the emptiness but neither one knew how We drank a toast to innocence, we drank a toast to time Reliving in our eloquence, another 'auld lang syne' The beer was empty and our tongues were tired And running out of things to say She gave a kiss to me as I got out and I watched her drive away Just for a moment I was back at school And felt that old familiar pain And as I turned to make my way back home The snow turned in to rain... |

Every time we speak
Our words betray intentions Insincere inventions That never quite reach the heart So we turn the other cheek And gather our defenses Again, rebuild the fences That just been keeping us apart. Waiting out the worst We keep the best inside us In hopes our hearts can't hide us In hopes our tears don't show And you know we're not the first to try and breach the distance And though we meet resistance The love between us grows. And in the time it takes us to look beyond the lies We could be sailing through each other's eyes And in those stolen moments when love is caught off guard We see it never had to be this hard.

Capture the moment, carry the day
Stay with the chase as long as you may Follow the dreamer, the fool and the sage Back to the days of the innocent age Storybook endings never appear They're just someone's way of leading us here Waiting for wisdom to open the cage We forged in the fires of the innocent age Back at the start it was easy to see No one to own to, nowhere to be Deep in the heartlands a sad memory calls to me (calls to me) Fretful horizons, worrisome skies Tearful misgivings burning your eyes Yearnings unanswered, reckon the wage you pay To recapture the innocent age Fretful horizons, worrisome skies Tearful misgivings burning your eyes Yearnings unanswered, reckon the wage you Pay to recapture the innocent age |

Grand slam
Your moment's at hand The day holds a costly bargain Lost lamb Asking the lion's share Homespun A prodigal son Comes begging a humble pardon But no one Rises to hear his prayer... Lone star You've wandered so far And long in the unfamiliar That now you Travel a map unknown Starbright A constant delight To those in the dark And still your Birthright's To shine in the night -- alone. Living in the shadows Of the things that might have been Torn between the blessing and the curse You may stop the hunger But you'll never slake the thirst For the nectar you remember But you'll never taste again... Nonesuch Your Midas' touch Has gilded your heart And left you So much Playing the prince of clowns Hell-bent Empty and spent Just look what your gamble's got you Exile Far from the sacred grounds... Living in the shadows Of the things that might have been Torn between the blessing and the curse You may stop the hunger But you'll never slake the thirst For the nectar you remember But you'll never taste again. Grand slam Your moment's at hand The day holds a costly bargain Lost lamb Asking the lion's share. |

It's Maine...
And it's Autumn The birches have just begun turning It's life and it's dying The lobstermen's boats come returning With the catch of the day in their holds and the young boys cold and complaining The fog meets the beaches and out on the Reach it is raining -- It's father and son It's the way it's been done since the old days It's hauling by hand ten miles out from the land where their chow waits And the days are all lonely and long and seas grow so stormy and strong but The Reach will sing welcome as homeward they hurry along. And the morning will blow away As the waves crash and fall And the Reach like a siren sings as she beckons and calls As the coastline recedes from view And the seas swell and roll I will take from the Reach all that she has to teach To the depths of my soul -- The wind brings a chill There's a frost on the sill in the morning It creeps through the door On the edge of the shore ice is forming Soon the northers will bluster and blow And the woods will be whitened with snowfall And the Reach will lie frozen for the lost and unchosen to row -- And the morning will blow away As the waves crash and fall And the Reach like a siren sings as she beckons and calls As the coastline recedes from view And the seas swell and roll I will take from the Reach all that she has to teach To the depths of my soul -- |

Dawn...like an angel
Lights on the step Muting the morning she heralds Dew on the grass Like the tears the night wept Gone long before The day wears old Times stills the singing A child holds so dear And I'm just beginning to hear Gone are the pathways The child followed home Gone, like the sand and the foam Pressed in the pages Of some aging text Lies an old lily a-crumbling Marking a moment Of childish respects Long since betrayed and forgotten Times stills the singing A child holds so dear And I'm just beginning to hear Gone are the pathways The child followed home Gone, like the sand and the foam Dawn...like an angel Lights on the step Muting the morning she heralds Dew on the grass Like the tears the night wept Gone long before The day wears old Times stills the singing A child holds so dear And I'm just beginning to hear Gone are the pathways The child followed home Gone, like the sand and the foam Gone like the sand (gone like the sand) Gone, like the sand and the foam |

In times like these It's hard to keep a man off his knees In times like these It's hard to keep a man off his knees. Over a barrel Under a spell Money's the demon that drives you Limping through heaven Or running through hell Happiness smiles but denies you. In times like these It's hard to keep a man off his knees In times like these It's hard to keep a man off his knees. Nothing before you Nothing behind Thoughtlessly chasing the thunder Travelling lightly Travelling blind Never detouring to wonder why.

Anyway, I love you Everyday I get more sure Anyway, I love you More and more and more and more and more. I have so much I can offer you More to please you with than most.

Anyway, I love you Everyday I get more sure Anyway, I love you More and more and more and more and more So if you ever feel the need for me Let it carry you along Don't be shy and try to hold it down Cause what you feel just can't be wrong. |

Her nest in your eyes She's got you thinking that Her love is a prize And you'll go under from The weight of her lies As the raven flies As the raven flies She'll bring you stories That just never sound true She'll bring you secrets That were never meant for you. And just as you come round She'll send you back through She's in love with you She's in love with you Darker, darker Don't let her talk her way Into you Lonely, lonely. You know she's only No good for you.

Be on you way
Don't try to say that You love me still. If we couldn't find The right dream by now Then we never will. We paid our dues at the door And never once saw the stage. We wrote our share of love's lore And never quite filled the page. So be on your way. Be on your way. Maybe someday we will Meet again. Try not to cry Tears make me think How it might have been. We loved as strong as we could But love only got in our way. We took our time to be free There's nothing much more to say but Be on your way. |

And you're heading for a fall Sinking deeper by the minute You're about to lose it all... You better change Before the sun goes down You better leave Before you are the last in town. You better raise Your fortresses or tear them down... Tear them down. Tear them down. There's an angel on your shoulder And a devil at your feet And that door you see before you Could be poison tasting sweet. You better change Before the sun goes down You better leave Before you are the last in town. You better raise Your fortresses or tear them down... Tear them down. Tear them down.

Changing horses in the middle of
a stream Gets you wet and sometimes cold Changing faces in the middle of a dream Gets you old Oh, gets you old. Looking farther than you'll ever hope to see Takes you places you don't know Search for someone you can't ever hope to be And still you go Oh, still you go. Don't you think it's kind of sad to say, Don't you think it's gonna change? Makes you think you'll have to stay inside For a while.

Running in the wrong direction
Isn't it a long way home, People with the wrong intentions Isn't it a long way home. City, you are dying real slow Country, you are calling me to go. Smokestacks, I don't need you no more I'm gonna fly... To where the sky meets the land And the living is not planned And the children can laugh just Cause they're living. I'll send for you If you ever want me to But you'll have to find A whole new way of giving. Running from the noise and poison Isn't it a long way home. Wounded by a law man's toy gun Isn't it a long way home. City, no more shadows to be seen. Country, all the sunshine you can dream. Smokestacks spew your sour-smelling steam I'm gonna fly. To where the sky meets the land And the living is not planned And the children can laugh Just cause they're living.

Looking for a lady
I'm looking for a lady To change my night to day Looking for a lady I'm looking for a lady To chase my blues away. Well, I have a few in mind But none in particular I have had them before But nothing that was for sure. And I'm in no position to barter And I'm in no condition to play the martyr And I'm sadder certainly But I'm smarter And I find myself. Looking for a lady I'm looking for a lady To share my empty bed Looking for a lady I'm looking for a lady To soothe my aching head. Well, I have a few in mind But none in particular I have had them before But nothing that was for sure. And my feelings have grown rigid like a wooden post. And my love is like a curtain that has been drawn closed And my life just isn't going The way I thought it was supposed to And I'm crying and I find myself. Looking for a lady I'm looking for a lady To change my night to day. |

That we haven't said, Let us say them. I know all too well How people's lies betray them. More than ever I'll wait for you there. More than ever I will need you to care And I'll never Need more than a prayer To be near you. To be near you. Time is a baby child Found in the rain Born of fever. She'll bring you pretty songs Laced through with lies But don't you believe her. More than ever I'll wait for you there.

You and I were lovers all along
We had a good thing going strong And never doubted. Lately, I feel changes comin' on I know that I will soon be gone And you don't even want To talk about it. OOO, and it makes me stop and wonder why People give their hearts and turn around and say goodbye If there's something on your mind You better say it while there's time 'Cause I'm leavin' when I see that Morning sky. OOO, how did we ever come to this? There's nothing for me in your kisses anymore. Late nights in the kitchen I'm pretending I still care But we both know there's nothing there And you just keep on starin' At the door. OOO, and it makes me stop and wonder why People give their hearts and turn around and say goodbye If there's something on your mind You better say it while there's time 'Cause I'm leavin' when I see that Morning sky.

Now the wind is still
In a moment it will be raging Now my soul is young In a moment it will be aging. And high above the pines I wrote several lines And left them in a bottle For you to find. Now the dream is rising In a moment it will be past This breath is my first It will all too soon be my last. And on a windy coast I made several toasts To you and me and the sea And no one heard. Now the wind is still In a moment it will be raging Now my soul is young In a moment it will be aging. And high above the pines I wrote several lines And left them in a bottle For you to find. |

Here is a poem
That my lady sent down Some morning while I was away. Wrote on the back of A leaf that she found Somewhere around Monterey. And here is the key To a house far away Where I used to live As a child. They tore down the building When I moved away And left the key unreconciled. And down in the canyon The smoke starts to rise. It rides on the wind Till it reaches your eyes. When faced with the past The strongest man cries...cries. And down in the canyon The smoke starts to rise. It rides on the wind Till it reaches your eyes. When faced with the past The strongest man cries...cries. And here is a sunrise To set on your sill. The ghosts of the dawn Moving near. They pass through your sorrow And leave you quite still... Sitting among souvenirs. |

Stood out in the rain
Let it soak me down Before I called you...I called you. Didn't see me there Hidden by the rain Beneath your window...But I saw you. Putting on your face before the Mirror on the wall Dreaming that the looking glass was me... Catching your fondest gazes Living through your fickle phases I love you. And it's getting easier each day To weep about you Harder every night to sleep without you How many years must I be driven By this dream Of love with you? Spend my dimes on phones Trying just to talk but You don't answer...you let it ring. Spend my nights alone Catching falling stars to Give to you, love, They're just for you. For stars fall every time a lover has to face the truth And far too many stars have fell on me. And as they trail the skies And burn their paths upon my eyes I cry. |

She was lost
And I thought I was found Even so I tried To bring her in... She was young And I had just begun To learn that even Losing men can win. We went the long way We went the long way We went the long way... Or maybe just the wrong way I'll never know. Overnight We were shown the light Neither of us knew To look away... So we burned And far too late we learned That lifetimes can't be lived out In a day. We went the long way We went the long way We went the long way... Or maybe just the wrong way I'll never know. So, goodbye At least me made the try Something can be said for love that's pure. If and when We ever try again One thing will be known to us For sure... We'll go the long way We'll go the long way We'll go the long way... Or maybe just the wrong way I'll never know. |

There's a place in the world
For a gambler There's a burden that only He can bear There's a place in the world For a gambler, And he sees Oh, yes he sees... And he sees Oh, yes he sees... There's a song in the heart Of a woman That only the truest of loves Can release. There's a song in the heart Of a woman. Set it free Oh, set it free Set it free Oh, set it free Set it free Oh, set it free. There's a light in the depths Of your darkness There's a calm at the eye Of every storm. There's a light in the depths Of your darkness. Let is shine Oh, let it shine Let is shine Oh, let it shine Let is shine Oh, let it shine. Let it Shine |

Watching the sun
Watching it come Watching it come up over the rooftops. Cloudy and warm Maybe a storm You can never quite tell From the morning. And it's going to be a day There is really no way to say no To the morning. Yes it's going to be a day There is really nothing left to Say but Come on morning. Waiting for mail Maybe a tail From an old friend Or even a lover. Sometimes there's none But we have fun Thinking of all who might Have written. And maybe there are seasons And maybe they change And maybe to love is not so strange. The sounds of the day They hurry away Now they are gone until tomorrow. When day will break And you will wake And you will rake your hands Across your eyes And realize That it's going to be a day There is really no way to say no To the morning. Yes it's going to be a day There is really nothing left to say but Come on morning. |

Wysteria, did you change your face
again Those of us who loved you when Can't even find you. Wysteria, did you lose another man Did you make him understand That he can't touch you. Wysteria, did he take you to the fair? Were the folks that you met there The same that we met? Wysteria, did he teach you how to dance Did he bring you paper fans to hide your secret? Was he just like all the rest When he got to the sad part Did he stay a bit too long To save his heart. Wysteria, are your lips still lily white Do they still bloom just At night and die at sunrise? |

from I Write The Songs: 36 Singer Songwriters Performing... (2005)
An only child alone and wild
A cabinet maker's son His hands were meant for different work And his heart was known to none -- He left his home and went his own and solitary way And he gave to me a gift I know I never can repay A quiet man of music Denied a simpler fate He tried to be a soldier once But his music wouldn't wait He earned his love through discipline A thundering, velvet hand His gentle means of sculpting souls Took me years to understand. The leader of the band is tired And his eyes are growing old But his blood runs through my instrument And his song is in my soul -- My life has been a poor attempt To imitate the man I'm just a living legacy To the leader of the band. My brothers' lives were different For they heard another call One went to Chicago And the other to St. Paul And I'm in Colorado When I'm not in some hotel Living out this life I've chose And come to know so well. (Instrumental) I thank you for the music And your stories of the road I thank you for the freedom when it came my time to go -- I thank you for the kindness And the times when you got tough And, papa, I don't think I Said 'I love you' near enough -- The leader of the band is tired And his eyes are growing old But his blood runs through my instrument And his song is in my soul -- My life has been a poor attempt To imitate the man I'm just a living legacy To the leader of the band I am the living legacy To the leader of the band. |

Joy at the start Fear in the journey Joy in the coming home A part of the heart Gets lost in the learning Somewhere along the road. Along the road Your path may wander A pilgrim's faith may fail Absence makes the heart grow stronger Darkness obscures the trail. Cursing the quest Courting disaster Measureless nights forebode Moments of rest Glimpses of laughter Are treasured along the road. Along the road Your steps may tumble Your thoughts may start to stray But through it all a heart held humble Levels and lights your way. Joy at the start Fear in the journey Joy in the coming home A part of the heart Gets lost in the learning Somewhere along the road Somewhere along the road Somewhere along the road |

I saw her first in a beggar's game
Her eyes were wild but her laugh was tame Those people knew her by another name I knew that she'd be mine I knew that she'd be mine. She took me in on a winter's night The air was brittle and the moon was bright My heart was heavy but her touch was light Deep in the dance we wandered Deep in my heart she fell. The candles glistened and the water gleamed She drew a bath and the windows steamed She looked like every woman ever dreamed In the heart of a lonely man. In the heart of a lonely man. She took my blindness and she led me through As night retreated and the daylight grew And with the first rays of the sun I knew Love had another captive Love had another fool. The spell is broken and the chains fall free Finally my heart has come home to me It seems I've waited an eternity. I saw her first in a beggar's game Her eyes were wild but her laugh was tame Those people knew her by another name I knew that she'd be mine I knew that she'd be mine. |

I hear the thunder Three miles away The island's leaking Into the bay The poison is spreading The demon is free And people are running from What they can't even see. Face the fire You can't turn away The risk grows greater With each passing day The waiting's over The moment has come To kill the fire And turn to the sun. They'll take your money And then take your health To line their pockets with Unequaled wealth These men are under The power of gold We won't be safe until we Shut them down cold. Face the fire You can't turn away The risk grows greater With each passing day The waiting's over The moment has come To kill the fire And turn to the sun. The people came to the capitol town One hundred thousand of them Laid their hearts down They screamed in anger And broadcast their fears Just to have them Fall on deaf ears |

I still recall the place When I first felt yourgypsy wind Playing on my face That summer's long since gone But gypsy winds have ways of staying on. Voices from our past Still insist on arguing That love will never last And though our hearts may turn It's only when you listen that you learn. And I wonder at the ways The strands of love meander Through our close and distant days The blood of passion plays Burns our thirsty souls And chases reason far away... Far away... And still your gypsy wind Will soothe my soul and call me back again. Growing wise with age We come to see the printing Through the pictures on the page Though something's always lost The gain is always tempered by the cost. And I wonder at the ways The strands of love meander Through our close and distant days The blood of passion plays Burns our thirsty souls And chases reason far away... Far away... And still your gypsy wind Will soothe my soul and call me back again |

Well there's too many windows in this old hotel And rooms filled with reckless pride And the walls have grown sturdy And the halls have worn well But there is nobody living inside Nobody living inside... Gonna pull in the shutters On this heart of mine Roll up the carpets and pull in the blinds And retreat to the chambers that I left behind In hopes there still may be Love left to find Still may be love left to find. Seek inspiration in daily affairs Now you soul is in trouble and requires repairs And the voices you hear at the top of the stairs Are only echoes of unanswered prayers Echoes of unanswered prayers. Well there's too many windows in this old hotel And rooms filled with reckless pride And the walls have grown sturdy And the halls have worn well But there is nobody living inside Nobody living inside... |

Living in a house of cards Praying the wind doesn't blow too hard Giving in to differences Straining to keep up appearances. Making believe the thread can be save You're aching to leave but Deathly afraid of letting go The threads entangled you so. Jealousies and legal fees Running away like two refugees Shadowed eyes and alibis Tell you too late you've been victimized. Freedom is near but seems to elude you Trying to change you dreams into What your needs allow It should be easy by now Why is love always the last to know? Falling back on better days Trying your damnedest to laugh You've thrown those childish dreams away It's over, you say, still you ask Why is love always the last to know |

How many eyes will you sack in sorrow Seeking to borrow some sight of your own How many lies will you have to suffer Until you discover there's nobody home How many roads will you have to wander How many dead end streets How many dreams will you finally squander Dodging your own defeats. You're wishing on the moon tonight There's not a lucky star in sight Just wishing on the moon tonight. How many doors will you have to open Desperately hoping each one's the last How many more will you close behind you Bitter and blind to the shadows you cast How many fools will you have to follow How many wayward winds How many sins will you have to swallow Until the truth sinks in (That you've been) Wishing on the moon tonight There's not a lucky star in sight Just wishing on the moon tonight You're wishing on the moon. (Repeat first verse and chorus |

In the eyes of the world your touch is like gold Your reputation's so cool and cruel and controlled You count your money in your prison tower Made of concrete, glass, and steel Feeling cozy in the hallow warmth Of another business deal You've climbed your way to the top, but lately it seems That there's a hole in the heart of the American dream Sitting pretty in your trophy room With your shining souvenirs That just remind you of the wasted time And the lateness of the years Is that all? Is that all there is? Is that all? There must be more than this In the eyes of the world your touch is like gold Your reputation's so cool and cruel and controlled In a moment it could all be gone In the twinkling of an eye Then what's your pile of precious pride worth then? If you've ever wondered why Is that all? Is that all there is? Is that all? There must be more than this Is that all? Is that all there is? Is that all?

There was a time A simpler time When a man could be sure of where he stood I used to work at the yard Working honest and hard The hours were long but the pay was good I had a family and friends So many friends We'd drive to the lake on holidays Back then it wasn't so dear For a sandwich or beer At night I still dream I can see their faces Certain things that you depend upon There are places that you know And the faces of America Oh, where did they go? Where did they go? I was born on a farm A midwestern farm I rode on the tractor with my dad And though we never had much It was always enough And we made the best of what we had Then came four years of drought And the bottom dropped out My father was broken like the rest I can still see his hands Signing over his lands And the bankers grow fat on the flesh of the dispossessed Certain things that you depend upon There are places I can go I sift the ashes of America For someplace I used to (someplace I used to) Someplace I used to (someplace I used to) Someplace I used to know There was a time A simpler time When a man could be sure of where he stood I used to work at the yard Working honest and hard The hours were long but the pay was oh so good Certain things that you depend upon I used to think were guaranteed Like the right of every man to work And feed his family And feed his family And the faces of America Seem so distant and estranged Have their eyes become too blind to see How much their hearts have changed?

Last night I dreamed I was looking down On the planet Earth spinning round and round And as I cast my gaze about I watched her lovely light go out The light went out And floating in the black of space I was looking into God's own face And in his hands he held this tiny Earth He said "Well ain't it a shame what they've done to her After I'd shown them to the holy road The holy road After I'd shown them to the holy road The holy road" "Well, I laid a bounty in their hands And only gave them ten commands But they never learned their lessons very well And they drove my garden straight to hell That's when they fell off of the holy road The holy road That's when they fell off of the holy road The holy road" (And then he told me) "Well the popes were frauds and the kings were fools And your presidents only dupes and tools Of the money makers and the Chiefs of Staff Who worshipped of that golden calf They turned their backs upon the holy road The holy road They turned their backs upon the holy road The holy road" (And then I told him) "Well, you made the sun and you made the sky The things that crawl and the things that fly And then you made the human race" And he said "Well, everybody makes mistakes I thought they'd want to walk the holy road The holy road I thought they'd want to walk the holy road The holy road" Even though it was just a dream It seemed as real as it could seem And often dreams the truth forebodes You got to get back children on the holy road Get back children on the holy road Get back children on the holy road Get back children on the holy road Holy road, holy road Got to get back on the holy road The holy road Got to get back on the holy road Holy road Got to get back on the holy road The holy road On the holy road The holy road On the holy road people On the holy road now On the holy road now Holy road On the holy road children On the holy road Holy holy, holy road |

I take my place along the shore And I wait for the tide It seems I've passed this way before In an earlier time I hear a voice, like mystery Blowing warm through the night The silent moon embraces me And I'm drawn to her light I follow footprints in the sand To a circle of stone And find a fire burning bright Though I came here alone And in the play of shadows cast I can dimly discern The shapes of all who've gone before Calling me to return There are no names That fit these faces There are no lines that can define These ancient spaces The spirits dance Across the ages And melt into a river of souls (Refrain espagnole) Lo que es mio? [What is mine? Lo que es de Dios? What is God's? Lo que es del rio? What is the river's?] Melt into a river of souls I take my place along the shore And I wait for the tide It seems I've passed this way before In an earlier time To every man the mystery Sings a different song He fills his page of history Dreams his dreams And is gone There are no names That fit these faces There are no lines that can define These ancient spaces The spirits dance Across the ages And melt into a river of souls (Refrain espagnole) Lo que es mio?

The grass is high and the work is done Send the sun to his sleeping place Now we'll dance and make love beneath The Serengeti moon The Gods are laughing their twinkling eyes Shine on us in the clear night sky Take my hand let us walk beneath The Serengeti moon Oh, let the music play (Mamaland melodie yalla) [listen to the melody] Fill your heart with joy and mirth (Thabishing pelo tsa lona) [let your hearts rejoice] Oh, let the rain clouds come (Mamaland melodie yalla) And spill their life upon this earth Oh, let the music play (Mamaland melodie yalla) [listen to the melody] Fill your heart with joy and mirth (Thabishing pelo tsa lona) [let your hearts rejoice] Oh, let the rain clouds come (Mamaland melodie yalla) And spill their life upon this earth The grass is high and the work is done Send the sun to his sleeping place Now we'll dance and make love beneath The Serengeti moon The Serengeti moon The Serengeti moon |

There's a love in my life Neither mistress nor wife And she waits for me every morning by the sea Where the fishing hawk wheels And the sun warms the seals There she lays at her silent anchorage for me She is fine, she is fleet She will run, reach, or beat With a song in her rigging and her sails And when day is done We will lay to as one And sleep 'neath the rolling rhythm of the stars And we sail away Off to Jericho Bay Where the blue of the sea meets the sky And the songs that she sings me It brings me such peace When the seas rise up angry and high She's a friend of mine The minstrel There are loons off to port And the porpoises sport In her wake as she breaks the rolling main And with the wind in her sails We will run with the whales As they swim through their dark diminishing domain And we sail away Off to Jericho Bay Where the blue of the sea meets the sky And the songs that she sings me It brings me such peace When the seas rise up angry and high She's a friend of mine The minstrel |

There's thorns on the cactus tree
There's thorns on the rose There's thorns in the heart of me That nobody knows They tear at the flesh until The tears start to rise They form in my heart But they fall from Anastasia's eyes. And I was lost in the wilderness Without courage or hope I was setting my signal fires And watching the smoke When out of the smoke appeared The sweetest surprise And I knew I'd been found When first I looked in To Anastasia's eyes. There's thorns on the cactus tree There's thorns on the rose There's thorns in the heart of me That nobody knows But finally I've found out where My salvation lies It lies in the love that lives In Anastasia's eyes |

In the overcrowded cities where the nights are bright as day
You spend your weekly paycheck and turn your eyes away From the crisis we've created with our self-indulgent ways Living like there's no tomorrow, well that just might be the case Now they're tearing down the forests and the jungles of Brazil Without a second thought about the species that they kill But extinction is forever and still the forests fall And push it ever closer to extinction for us all But you're so blind to the truth, blind to the truth And you can't see nothing Cause you're so blind to the truth, blind to the truth And the judgment day is coming Now the politicians bicker on the early evening news Pledging their allegiance to whoever they can use The corporate bosses snicker as they watch the profits soar They don't care what they make next month just as long as it is more They take our farms and marshlands, drive nature to the wall Just so they can build another Goddamn shopping mall And it doesn't seem to matter if they cannot see the stars As long as they can keep on building obsolescent cars They're so blind to the truth, blind to the truth No they can't see nothing They're so blind to the truth, blind to the truth But the judgment day is coming Now you cannot drink the water and you cannot breathe the air The sky is ripping open and you still don't seem to care The soil is tired and toxic and unable to provide The clock is running out and there is nowhere left to hide Now there's laws that we must live by and they're not the laws of man Can't you see the shadow that moves across this land The future is upon us and there's so much we must do And you know I can't ignore it and my friend neither can you Unless you're blind to the truth, blind to the truth And you can't see nothing You're so blind to the truth, blind to the truth But the judgment day is coming |

Up through the branches
The stars shine above On the arroyos And mesas you loved And as the moon rises The black mountain mourns For the old friend He'll look on no more Jacks-In-The-Pulpit Bones in the sky Long winding rivers That never ran dry And the secrets she gathered From the wild blowing sands Breathed in her heart And her hands I sing to your spirit Where all my dreams dwell The vision, the freedom The life lived so well And I sing in your canyons And the echoes ring clear And I wish somehow You may still hear |

May your heart rejoice in song May the skies be fair above you As you journey ever on Ever on, Ever on Ever on, Ever on In this planetary circle We are but a single stone Spinning on our fragile axis Through the endless night alone Ever on, Ever on Ever on, Ever on May your love be there to guide us May it always keep us strong May we walk within your footsteps As you lead us ever on Ever on, Ever on Ever on, Ever on Ever on, Ever on Ever on, Ever on |

They came from Scandinavia, the land of midnight sun
And crossed the North Atlantic when this century was young They'd heard that in America every man was free To live the way he chose to live and be who he could be Some of them were farmers there and tilled the frozen soil But all they got was poverty for all their earnest toil They say one was a sailor who sailed the wide world round Made home port, got drunk one night, walked off the pier and drowned My mother was of Scottish blood, it's there that she was born They brought her to America in 1924 They left behind the highlands and the heather-covered hills And came to find America with broad expectant dreams and iron wills My granddad worked the steel mills of central Illinois His daughter was his jewel, his son was just his boy For thirty years he worked the mills and stoked the coke-fed fires And looked toward the day when he'd at last turn 65 and could retire And the sons become the fathers and their daughters will be wives As the torch is passed from hand to hand And we struggle through our lives Though the generations wander, the lineage survives And all of us, from dust to dust We all become forefathers by and by The woman and the man were wed just after the war And they settled in this river town and three fine sons she bore One became a lawyer and one fine pictures drew And one became this lonely soul Who sits here now and sings this song to you And the sons become the fathers and their daughters will be wives As the torch is passed from hand to hand And we struggle through our lives Though the generations wander, the lineage survives And all of us, from dust to dust We all become forefathers by and by |

The hours grow shorter as the days go by
You never get to stop and open your eyes One day you're waiting for the sky to fall The next you're dazzled by the beauty of it all When you're lovers in a dangerous time Lovers in a dangerous time These fragile bodies of touch and taste This vibrant skin, this hair like lace Spirits open to the thrust of grace Never a breath you can afford to waste When you're lovers in a dangerous time Lovers in a dangerous time Lovers in a dangerous time Lovers in a dangerous time When you're lovers in a dangerous time Sometimes you're made to feel as if your love's a crime But nothing worth having comes without some kind of fight You got to kick at the darkness 'til it bleeds daylight When you're lovers in a dangerous time Lovers in a dangerous time Lovers in a dangerous time Lovers in a dangerous time |

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I've been I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain And let me be alone again The only girl I've ever loved has gone away Looking for a brand new start But little does she know that when she left that day Along with her he took my heart Rain please tell me now does that seem fair For her to steal my heart away when she don't care I can't love another when my heart's somewhere far away Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain Telling me just what a fool I've been I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain And let me be alone again The only girl I've ever loved has gone away Looking for a brand new start Little does she know that when she left that day Along with her she took my heart Rain won't you tell her that I love her so Please ask the sun to set her heart a glow And rain in her heart and let the love we know start to grow Rain please tell me now does that seem fair For her to steal my heart away when he don't care I can't love another when my heart's somewhere far away Oh listen to the falling rain Oh rhythm of the falling rain Oh listen to the falling rain Oh rhythm of the falling rain |

Broken clouds along the blue horizon
The sun is setting and the wind is dying down Outward bound, there is music all around Can you hear it, it's the song of the sea Soundings taken at the edge of darkness The widest silences the heart can ever hear You can steer to the stars along your lee Set you bearings to the, the song of the sea Oh and the song is as ancient as the days And the winds upon the waves Let it carry you away, so far away Trim my sails to greet the breaking morning Past the headlands to the rolling open sea And it comes to me, I have never felt so free As when I'm listening to the, the song of the sea Oh and the song is as ancient as the days And the winds upon the waves Let it carry me away, so far away Some were meant to watch the world from windows And never look beyond the road beneath their feet But for me, I was always meant to be One forever chasing the song of the sea The song of the sea The song of the sea |

The light is long the sun is low
I'm riding fast across this dusty road But I don't want to be, no I don't want to be Above the ridge an eagle flies In lazy circles in the western skies I want to fly with him I want to walk the spirit trail I've seen them come I've seen them go Off to the oilfields and rodeos To find a better way, they leave their native soil But I can hear a different song The drum within my heart is beating strong I want to follow it, I've got to walk the spirit trail Let every creature I see be a brother and a friend to me Let every step that I take leave the footprints of a warrior Along the spirit trail Heya-heya heya hiyo Heya-heya heya hiyo Heya-heya heya hiyo Heya-heya heya hiyo They took the land, they took control They robbed my father of his very soul To be like one of them, to be like one of them But I was born a native son And I will never be another one To give it all away I've got to walk the spirit trail Let every creature I see be a brother and a friend to me Let every step that I take leave the footprints of a warrior Along the spirit trail Heya-heya heya hiyo Heya-heya heya hiyo Heya-heya heya hiyo Heya-heya heya hiyo Let every creature I see be a brother and a friend to me Let every step that I take leave the footprints of a warrior Along the spirit trail Heya-heya heya hiyo Heya-heya heya hiyo Heya-heya heya hiyo Heya-heya heya hiyo |

I was walking alone through the lofty San Juans
With a heart full of light and a head full of songs I was thinking of time and how much it will cost To recapture the souls that we surely have lost In the cities and towns there are millions who dream But the traffic's so loud that you can't hear them scream There's a heaven on earth that so few ever find Though the map's in your soul and the road's in your mind So many mountains before us, so many rivers to cross Where is the wisdom to bring back the vision we've lost Can we gaze with the wonder of children into the deafening night Has it gotten so dark that we cannot remember the light When you sleep on the ground with the stars in your face You can feel the full length of the beauty and grace In the wild places man is an unwelcome guest But it's here that I'm found and it's here I feel blessed |

Beyond the edge twenty miles a minute
Shot like a bullet from a frozen gun Beyond the edge way beyond the limit Beyond the edge on a downhill run Some play it cool, some take it easy Some never know what the snow can do Some call me fool, some call my crazy I may be crazy but I'm crazy about you Beyond the edge twenty miles a minute Shot like a bullet from a frozen gun Beyond the edge way beyond the limit Beyond the edge on a downhill run You got no guts, you get no glory There ain't no ruts along the easy ride Out on the edge it's another story Some got to take it to the other side Beyond the edge twenty miles a minute Shot like a bullet from a frozen gun Beyond the edge way beyond the limit Beyond the edge on a downhill run Beyond the edge twenty miles a minute Shot like a bullet from a frozen gun Beyond the edge way beyond the limit Beyond the edge on a downhill run Beyond the edge twenty miles a minute Shot like a bullet from a frozen gun Beyond the edge way beyond the limit Beyond the edge on a downhill run |

Falling and spinning
Losing and winning Keeping my head Watching for signals Wearisome vigil Was I misled I remember you said That you don't want to forget me It doesn't matter Which of our fantasies fled. Every tomorrow Looking to borrow A piece of today Run a bit faster Here comes the catcher Making his play You had better not stay You will soon be surrounded It doesn't matter Which of our fantasies stay. Lonely and winsome Calling for someone Living right now Something is shallow Ugly and hollow Doesn't even allow you To want to know how You might Live for the living Give for the giving Moment by moment One day at a time It doesn't matter It's nothing but dreaming Anyhow. |

Some say that love is its own Love is its own reward But I can't help but believe There's got to be more. A man needs a woman To have and to hold To love him in body As well as in soul I need your desire Where did the fire go? I keep trying to sleep But sleep won't be mine tonight There's so much sorrow inside And baby, I don't know why. I give you your freedom I give you my love I give all I have every time that we touch I don't know, baby, Maybe I give too much. Now I'm lonely in love Why must I be lonely in love I'm so lonely in love Baby why must I be lonely Why must I be lonely in love. I know that love carries no She carries no guarantees But still I can't seem to Find a reason that I can believe in You said to be patient And give you some room You said you had changes You need to work through But the longer I wait The farther I feel from you. ( twice) Baby, you're my one and only Why do you keep me lonely in love |

She's got a way of getting so inside you
That you think she's gonna steal your soul She's got a way of making sure that you can't let go. She's got a trail of broken hearts behind her Like a shadow where no shadow's cast I ain't the first one and I doubt that I'll be the last. Too long--too late You're wrong To ever think she'd wait. Chorus She don't look back. She don't look back. The lady don't look back And when she's gone she's gone. You can never tell just what she's after You can never read it in her eyes And in her laughter there's no hint of compromise. You can stare into the fire forever You can squeeze a stone until it bleeds But you will never find the kind of love she needs. Too much--too late You're such a fool to think she'd wait.

Baby, how could I have been so vain To make you think that you're the only one to blame. For all these distances and all of this pain Baby, how could I have been so blind To presuppose that your needs were just like mine You've been a prisoner for a long, long time. But now you run from me And I will set you free If that's the way it must be. I tried so hard to make you part of me That every time I looked at you I thought I'd see Someone that you could never ever be. So full of pride that I could not see straight I thought you'd change If I could only wait I see the truth now but it's much too late Cause now you run from me And I will set you free If that's the way it must be. Oh--oh--baby how'd it ever get so cold and mean Oh--oh. Is there nothing left but silence in between. ( ) Baby how'd we hold on so long To something both of us must have known was wrong We're either fools or must be terrible strong. Cause now you run from me. And I will set you free If that's the way it must be |

Baby what in heaven are you thinking of? Look...what you're doing Will you throw away such sweet, sweet love, Will you throw away such sweet, sweet love. You used to say that you would always stay But now you say you want to find your freedom. But are the promises of being free Worth the sacrifice of all you had with me. You know I've always tried the best I could To prove my love to you and make you happy And once upon a time if felt so good What has happened now to make you want to fly. Do you want to see me cry? Look...what you're doing Baby what in heaven are you thinking of? Look...what you're doing Will you throw away such sweet, sweet love, Will you throw away such sweet, sweet love. I ain't the fool that you believe I am You tell your lies but I can see right through them. Cause in your eyes I see another man But he will never love you like you know I can. Oh, girl, you know I can. (You better open up your eyes and) Look...what you're doing Baby what in heaven are you thinking of? Look...what you're doing Will you throw away such sweet, sweet love, Will you throw away such sweet, sweet love. |
