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 writers – Robert Campbell & North Easton – © 2014 SOCAN

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 03:31
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 © 2015 Campbell+Green (SOCAN)

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 2015 © Campbell + Green

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 © 2015 Campbell+Green (SOCAN)

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 © 2015 Campbell+Green (SOCAN)

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 © 2015 Campbell+Green (SOCAN)

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 © 2015 Campbell+Green (SOCAN)

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 © 2015 Campbell+Green (SOCAN)
