I Can Feel It
02:43
|
|||
|
I can feel it coming round again,
And it takes me back to way back when,
I was a younger man,
And the devil always fooled with the best laid plan,
And time was on my side,
With nothing much to prove and nothing much to hide,
Another winter is turning into spring,
Another summer another song to sing,
A time to compromise,
A time to share the wealth, a time to harmonise,
A time to find a place,
Where we don’t have to worry about running in no race,
I can feel it coming round again,

Kids These Days
03:29
|
|||
|
When I’m on the street I’m walking,
Hear the people talking,
What they got to say?
Someone’s house burned down this morning,
Burned down without warning,
It was on the news today,
I could not look away,
The whole town was ablaze,
But I guess that’s kids these days,
Sargent Cox comes round a bit later,
A stern faced mediator,
With a furrow on his brow,
Sargent says somebody seen them,
Says it must have been them,
But who knows where they are now,
But we’ll find out somehow,
The whole town was ablaze,
But I guess that’s kids these days,
No one plays monopoly,
They’re sniffing glue and they’re smoking tea,
They get no opportunity to shine,
Until they’re out of time,
That stuff happens all the time now,
Kiddies like their crime now,
And nothing stays the same,
But if we can find out what is real now,
Find out how to feel now,
We’ll play a brand new game,
You know it’s such a shame,
The whole town was ablaze,
But I guess that’s kids these days,

Waiting For Me
03:02
|

Well the moon’s rising yellow like the sun from the sea tonight,
With its one friend the evening star, it’s a pretty sight,
And the moon has a beard and it floats on the top of the sea,
I just wish that I had you here to see it with me,
On the highway the lights of the cars punch holes in the night,
And the moon’s sitting high in the sky, like a heavenly kite,
And the songs on the radio keep me company,
Still I wish that I had you here to sing them with me,
As the dark of the night makes way for the light of the morning,
I slip the key in the lock of the door as a new day is dawning,
And I tip-toe my way through the house just as quiet as can be,
Because I know you’re asleep in our bed, waiting for me,

All In Your Mind
03:31
|
|||
|
People don’t always say what they mean,
Don’t wanna get dirty, they wanna stay clean,
You’re a dream but no one is sleeping and anyway,
A dream is hard to find, or so they say,
It’s all in your mind,
Tomorrow is only a night away,
So watch what you’re thinking, watch what you say,
You’re a saint but no one is sinning and anyway,
A good heart’s hard to find, or so they say,
It’s all in your mind,
When you find yourself thinking that,
Good fortune’s left you far behind,
Tell yourself that it’s so,
Whatever you know,
Baby it’s all in your mind,
You’re a dream but no one is sleeping and anyway,
A dream is hard to find, or so they say,
Baby it’s all in your mind,
Baby it’s all in your mind,

A Song About Home
02:58
|

I was looking out the window early Sunday morn,
The sun felt shallow and the rain kept pourin,
I was thinkin bout the lady who was laying down across the bed,
Wonderin maybe if I could get inside her head,
Well she's not one for frills and gold, she got stolen clothes,
Actin like no one knows I go off and buy her a rose,
We all leave friends behind, some of us run out of time,
An honest mind these days is hard to find,
So I asked her, "What kind of song would you sing?",
She said, "I can't think of a single thing...",
After a while she let out a smile,
As if I should have known,
Said she'd sing a song,
Sing a song about home,
Well I guessed I'd call on you at four, though I knew you'd locked the door,
So drunk I couldn't see, a good idea it seemed to be,
I came in from the window and I lost my clothes,
I lay down with you and felt your laughter too,
I dreamed a crazy dream when you turned out the light,
I don't know what it means but I sure hope that it's alright,
It was a lover's tale, I think I'm right,
But I feel pale from all the drink I drank last night,
When I asked her, "What kind of song would you sing?",
She said, "I can't think of a single thing...",
After a while she let out a smile,
As if I should have known,
Said she'd sing a song,
Sing a song about home,

Cats And Dogs

I’m climbing a ladder, I’m digging a well,
I ain’t going nowhere, I’m under your spell,
I’m living the good life, I’m finding the time,
I know that it won’t last, but I don’t really mind,
Cats and dogs and fish and frogs,
And birds up in the tree,
Remind me that the world goes on around me,
I’m doing my day job, all through the night,
My days are my own now, it works out alright,
I’m playing the music, I’m writing the songs,
I’m willing the future to come right along,
Cats and dogs and fish and frogs,
And birds up in the tree,
Remind me that the world goes on around me,
And I can taste and I can touch,
And I can feel and see,
The love and the good fortune that surrounds me,
I’m climbing a ladder, I’m digging a well,
I ain’t going nowhere, I’m under your spell,

Don't Grieve For Me
03:44
|

I’ll write a song,
Three minutes long,
And that’s what I’ll sing from now on,
You’ll sing it too,
Just me and you,
Till someone else comes along,
And that’s something there,
That we can share,
But just don’t grieve for me,
Don’t grieve for me,
Don’t grieve for me when I’m gone,
My history,
It seems to me,
It has all turned out wrong,
The road I take,
For to escape,
I know that it will be long,
But if you dare,
You can meet me there,
But just don’t grieve for me,
Don’t grieve for me,
Don’t grieve for me when I’m gone,
Just sing my song,
All night long,
Till the sun comes up and the night time’s gone,
Darlin it’s true,
This song’s for you,
And right now it’s almost done,
I came along,
But I’ll soon be gone,
I got to be movin on,
But when I’m gone you can,
Still sing my song,
But just don’t grieve for me,
Don’t grieve for me,
Don’t grieve for me when I’m gone,

I'm Tellin' You
06:05

I’ve burned a few bridges,
Crossed a few lines,
I’ve broken good branches,
A couple of times,
I’ve known some good people,
Forgotten a few,
But I’m telling you baby,
I won’t forget you,
I’ve seen a few signals,
Picked up a few signs,
Still lost my direction,
Tryin to read people’s minds,
I’ve told a few stories,
Some of them were true,
But I’m telling you baby,
I won’t lie to you,
Turn around the next corner,
Who knows what you’ll find,
The mean and the ugly,
The peaceful and kind,
I’ve loved a few women,
And ended up blue,
But I’m telling you baby,
I won’t tire of you,
Now I know sometimes darling,
Things aren’t as they seem,
It’s easy to wonder,
But this ain’t no dream,
Somehow we are one girl,
Although we are two,
And I’m telling you baby,
I belong with you,
Now the fish in the river,
The birds in the sky,
They just go about their business,
They don’t need to ask why,
So just trust in the feeling,
And know that it’s true,
Cos I’m telling you baby,
I’m in love with you,

A Song For You
02:17

A song for you,
Now three not two,
Three lives entwined in one life anew,
And so,
A song for you,
The gift of life,
A son, a wife,
Who would have thought this would be true,
And so
A song for you,
Everybody walks their own road,
That’s nothing new,
No one else can really know what’s best for you,
And so,
A song for you,
Now three not two,
Three lives entwined in one life anew,
And so,
A song for you,

Fire In The Pit
03:28

There’s a fire in the pit and its starting to spit,
There’s water in that wood,
The moon is high in the sky and its lighting the night,
Like only moonlight could,
There’s a shack and a shed and a song in my head,
And there’s music that never ends,
We’ll be fine if we follow the line,
We’ll be lovers and best friends,
Not a day goes by, I don’t wonder why,
Or what might have been,
But I can see when you’re looking at me,
There ain’t no in between,
There’s a message you send that I comprehend,
And it’s something you just can’t sell,
There’s a rhythm and a rhyme and a moment in time,
For every tale you tell,
There’s a fire in the pit and its starting to spit,
There’s water in that wood,
The birds are right on song and they’re singing along,
Like only song birds could,
There’s a shack and a shed and a song in my head,
And there’s music that never ends,
We’ll be fine if we follow the line,
We’ll be lovers and best friends,
