A Simple Life
03:07
|
|||
Maybe I’m just another superman standin
on the top of the world lookin down
I don’t want to fall when the fear gets too much
I don’t want to crash into the waiting crowds
I’m tired of saving the same situations
gotta save em in the nick of time
I want a day, gimme some space
I wanna sleep straight through the night
If I had a simple life, I’d sit and celebrate,
and in the quiet, I would close my eyes and drift away
I’d spend my time in the sun, I would always be young
If I could taste… A Simple Life
I’m sick of chasing those higher expectations
When I never reach the finish line?
I’d settle for less, if the rest of the world
would see that no one makes it out alive
but if I had a simple life, I’d sit and celebrate,
and in the quiet, I would close my eyes and drift away
I’d spend my time in the sun , I would always be young
If I could taste…
If I could just take off this cape,
give myself a break
Take my time and save the world another day…
but I don’t , and I won’t , no I don’t
but if I had a simple life, I’d sit and celebrate
and in the quiet, I would close my eyes and drift away
I’d spend my time in the sun, I would always be young
If I could taste… repeat CHORUS…
If I could taste… be young if could taste, if only I could taste…
the simple life

Queen Of The Wild
03:21
|
|||
Whistle blows its platform tune, Time to say goodbye
to the boy with the longing in his eyes
far to young to understand to know the reasons why
she has eyes for her wanderlust with him she must fly
Queen of the broken hearts
Queen of those who roam
Queen of the Wild and free
doomed to ride alone
Speakers cry departure times like a thousand times before
More than fifty countries, she hungers still for more
Fair thee well to a gentle soul, he was sweet and kind
But her thrist for roving wins again, leaves another man behind
Queen of the broken hearts
Queen of those who roam
Queen of the Wild and free
doomed to fly alone
What will she do when age becomes her jailer
will she witherr like a captive wild bird
is there someone to sooth her with his words
Open seas now call to her, places to explore
Happy people smile and wave to those upon the shore
see the sadness on his face, they'll never meet again
she turns towards the setting sun, her new lover now the wind
Queen of the broken hearts
Queen of those who roam
Queen of the Wild and free
doomed to fly alone
Queen of the broken hearts
Queen of those who roam
Queen of the Wild and free

Lady Luck

Lady Luck
========
I hear everybody talkin about the way luck moves around
table to table, and all around this town
I hear the whispers, see the signs, they promise me real gold
I know tonight will be the one, I really need to know
so turn the cards, I’ll strike the motherlode…
look who’s dancin’ round the tables in this room
she hasn’t found me yet, but I know she’s comin’ soon
Dancin’ with Lady Luck tonight, I’ll be
Dancin with Lady Luck tonight
I told myself I’d pull up stakes, if the torment gets to me
I’d clear my markers, close my bank I’d keep my dignity
when this hand is done I’ll cash my chips, make my restitution
with a dollar in my pocket, I’ll find my redemption
I’ll be gone, walkin out the door…
look who’s dancin’ round the tables in this room
she hasn’t found me yet, but I know she’s comin’ soon
Dancin’ with Lady Luck tonight, I’ll be
Dancin with Lady Luck tonight
these dreams of gold have poisoned all my reason
I’d be safer on the streets, than here holding aces
but look who’s dancin’ round the tables in this room
she hasn’t found me yet, but I know she’s comin’ soon
Dancin’ with Lady Luck tonight, I’ll be
Dancin with Lady Luck tonight
Dancin with Lady Luck tonight

One Simple Glance
03:30
|
|||
What is there to talk about after all these years?
Is there nothing to discuss besides the weather?
What is there to say that’s not been said before
In our September?
Words no longer mean that much
One Simple Glance is all we need to say
Like a river carves a canyon in its search for the sea
Love has stripped the layers of our fears
The sands of time keep record of all we’ve been through
And you’re still here!
Words no longer mean that much
One Simple Glance is all we need to say
Like old blue jeans and coffee and the smell of your hair
We’ve grown accustomed to the stillness in between
No need to fill the spaces with lengthy conversation
In the silence of our everyday routine
Words no longer mean that much
One Simple Glance is all we need to say
If one day we forget those words our memories hold
We’ll talk about the days and the weather
When there’s nothing left to say, I’ll just hold your hand
In our December
Words no longer mean that much
One Simple Glance is all we need to say
One Simple Glance is all we need to say, to say

Way Too Easy
03:58
|
|||
It’s Way Too Easy to be hard on myself
Way Too Easy to live my own kind of hell
Way Too Easy to define my own heart
Cause I’m afraid I’ll fall apart
It’s Way Too Easy to pass the man on the street
Way Too Easy to look down at my feet
Way Too Easy to ignore someone
Cause I just might feel the same… Way Too Easy
But I’m tired of livin lonely in the face of despair
gonna figure out gonna figure out how to make myself care
cause I’ve forgotten how, I’ve forgotten how
It’s Way Too Easy to pretend there’s no strife
Way Too Easy to be blind to a life
Way Too Easy to think freedom
’cause it’s nothing to do with me
But I’m tired of livin’ lonely in the face of despair
gonna figure out gonna figure out how to make myself care
cause I’ve forgotten how, I’ve forgotten how
It’s Way Too Easy… Way Too Easy

Goin' To Tahiti
03:27
|
|||
Dust on the coffee table, dishes in the sink
so much on my mind again, i couldn’t sleep a wink
Everybodies rushin’, busy to the bone
and there’s got to be a better way
short of leavin’ home, leavin’ home
I haul myself to work, just to make a dollar
reflection in the mirror, reminds me of my father
coffee by gallon, get me through the days
there’s got to be a better way
but i gotta make it pay, make it pay
I’m Goin’ To Tahiti,
me and my sweetie, got to get away,
I’m Goin’ To Tahiti , me and my sweetie
Throw all my cares away
For every step I take, I take another back
workin’ hard for nothin, it’s tough to stay on track
how I’ll figure out this mess, I don’t know what I’ll do
but there’s got to be a better way
I’m up for somethin’ now, somethin’ new
I’m Goin’ To Tahiti,
me and my sweetie, got to get away,
I’m Goin’ To Tahiti , me and my sweetie
Throw all my cares away
Everything I do, I do for someone else
my dreams get shoved aside, put upon a shelf
life is so damned crazy, couldn’t make this up
got to be a better way,
take me from this rut, from this rut
I’m Goin’ To Tahiti,
me and my sweetie, got to get away,
I’m Goin’ To Tahiti , me and my sweetie
Throw all my cares away
I’m Goin’ To Tahiti,
me and my sweetie, got to get away,
I’m Goin’ To Tahiti , me and my sweetie
Throw all my cares away

Storm
03:35
|
|||
Where do little birds go, when the storm rages on?
do they fly with the wind, follow it’s song til it’s gone?
so small and so light, do they lose their flight
with forces greater than they
When the storm rages on
I’m a little bird too, whenn the storm rages on
bending my will as it blows, staying too long
driving me deeper, in to the woods
testing my strength and resolve
when the storm rages on
I am a mighty gale to, when the storm rages on
with a furious glory, my kiss turns everything round
beating my rhythm, against my walls
my calm lies in wait for the dawn
when the storm rages on
when the storm rages on
and on

Love Makes One
03:52
|
|||
When I was a lad in School
My teachers taught just what they knew
They said, ‘Bobby boy, the numbers don’t lie’
And I believed what they said to be true
Then I heard BB King sing about his Sweet Home CHicago
And he told me this, and he told me that
He told me that 2 and 2 is 4, 4 and 2 is 6
I can prove that they’re all wrong because I’ve got these number tricked
It all adds up to one thing
It’s a fact that’ll last forever
1 and 1 it don’t make 2
I know that might sound clever
It all adds up to one thing
And this I know is true
cause Love Makes One out of me and you
6 years ago, that’s when you took my hand
There were 7 wonders in the world
and I saw the promised land
We walked and talked and talked and walked
8 days a week
and on the 11th hour, that’s when i heard you speak
It all adds up to one thing
It’s a fact that’ll last forever
1 and 1 it don’t make 2
I know that might sound clever
It all adds up to one thing
And this I know is true
cause Love Makes One out of me and you
You can’t take away this love of ours
There’ll be no great divide
With each day that passes by
It seems to multiply
It all adds up to one thing
It’s a fact that’ll last forever
1 and 1 it don’t make 2
I know that might sound clever
It all adds up to one thing
And this I know is true
cause Love Makes One out of me and you
Love Makes One out of me and you
Love Makes One out of me and you

Beautiful Today
03:43
|
|||
I’m feeling pretty good today
I’d really like to stay that way
sun is shining, everything looks bright
Shaking off my dusty blues
Puttin’ on my favorite shoes
Trust my feet to lead me left or right
If anyone gets in my way
I’ll just love them come what may
Sing a happy tune out loud
cuz it’s Beautiful Today
can’t take that away
cuz it’s Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful Today
ya it’s Beautiful Today
can’t take that away
cuz it’s Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful Today
Make my own parade of smiles
wave at every mother’s child
give away my happiness for free
No dark clouds will shadow me
and I put my faith in this perfect
ask the whole world to dance with me
If anyone gets in my way
I’ll just love them come what may
Sing a happy tune out loud
CHORUS
Solo
If anyone gets in my way
I’ll just love them come what may
Sing a happy tune out loud
CHORUS
ya it’s Beautiful Today
can’t take that away
cuz it’s Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful Today
yeah Beautiful Today yeah Beautiful Today yeah

Goodbye
03:34
|
|||
He greets the day with strong conviction
feet on the floor, he ignores his afflictions
and spoons out the coffee and boils the water
makes a call to his only daughter
says, “Okay, I guess. The weekend will do,
drive safe, we’ll see you Sunday ’round noon.”
His thoughts drift back to the start
to the love of his life and the light of his heart
and he doesn’t remember to say, Goodbye
It’s Tuesday at ten, there’s Jim’s heavy knock
they shovel the snow, put sand on the walk
and there’s soup in a pot and dry toast on a plate,
they play cards and checkers, and laugh at their fate
by 3 o’clock, they both know the score
shaking hands he walks his friend to the door
His thoughts drift back to the start
to the love of his life, the light of his heart
and he doesn’t remember to say, Goodbye
they watched the world from top of their hill
day after day and each was a thrill
he’d hold her close as time stood still
the evening news is hardly it’s hardly new
he naps on the couch after left over stew
she made the best suppers he longs for those days
her memory’s strong as the sun starts to fade
His thoughts drift back to the start
to the love of his life, the light of his heart
and he’s not ready to say,
as his thoughts drift back to the start
to the love of his life, the light of his heart
no, he’s not ready to say, Goodbye
puts it off for just one more day
he’s not ready to say, Goodbye
Goodbye
