The sun sets over the mountains
and the purple shadows falls
the night comes whispering in
and the last horseman rides

You Are My Compass

Like Amsterdam with no canals
Like London without the eye
Like Paris without the Eiffel tower
Without you I will die
Like India with no Taj Mahal
Like Aspen without the snow
I could turn anyway I wanted
But I wouldn't know where to go
Baby you are my compass
Baby you are my guiding star
My sweet reason detre
Tell me where you are
Your the ray of sunlight
That melts my morning ice
I really need your company
So gimme gimme gimme some tonight
Like Egypt without the pyramids
Bond without the spy
There will always be somethin' missin'
Without you in my life
Like Indiana minus the whip
Like Jazz without the horns
I couldn't swing even if I wanted
And I wouldn't know
I wouldn't even know
Baby you are my compass
Baby you are my guiding star
My sweet reason detre
Tell me where you are --------
Your the ray of sunlight
That melts my morning ice
I really need your company
So gimme gimme gimme some tonight
Like Amsterdam with no canals
Like London without the eye
Like Paris without the Eiffel tower
Without you I will die
Like India with no Taj Mahal
Like Aspen without the snow
I could turn anyway I wanted
But I wouldn't know where to go
Baby you are my compass
You are my - compass... etc

Take Me With You
03:52
|

|
Baby here comes the sun
don’t look surprised
Look up and see
those heartshaped skies
And if this is heaven
the lets keep love alive
I can see above the clouds…
Take me with you
Take me with you
I’m blowing purple crystals
up against the silvery moon
And through my window pane
I can see the daffodils will blossom soon
You can help me cope
with these feelings so new
Feel my heart beating out loud
Sometimes I admit I dont’know what to do
All I know is I want you to take me
Take me with you
Baby we can ride untill the break of dawn
and enjoy the late night kisses
while we’re laying in each others arms
From the cradle to the grave
let’s keep love alive
Feel your heart beating out loud
See the moon above the clouds

My mind is troubled
My heart is creamed
I'm worried 'bout every blip
That lights my radar screen
Don't know why I'm anxious
Don't know why I feel these doubts
There's little enough love in this world
Without me puttin' my own flame out
How sweet How sweet
Will be my sleep
How sweet How sweet
Will be my sleep tonight
Knowing you'll be here
Shadows paint my windows
Nosferatu darks my door
And though the sun is shinin'
He aint afraid no more
Banshees wail forlorne
Sirens scream and call
I'll never make the surface
In these waters deep I fall
No imaginary castle
No wall of glass can hide
What I know when I feel naked
Outside your lovin' arms
How sweet
How sweet
Will be my sleep
How sweet
How sweet
Will be my sleep tonight
Knowing you'll be here

Candy Store Is Closing
03:34

I bought you fifty-dollar dinners
You got your gravy on the side
You thought you had me buttered up
But I always knew when you lied
You said I was your hunk of beefsteak
You liked the way I stirred your stew
But now you’re gonna go hungry
There’s no more candy-cane for you
Now the candy store’s closin’
And there’s egg on your face
‘Cause some other lovin’ woman
Is gonna take your place
Someone else is at your table
You’re puttin’ too much on your plate
You’re gonna get indigestion
When you find out I didn’t wait

She Drives A Car
03:16
|
|||
|
My life has turned upside down
I am dating a rodeo clown
She is touring with a travelling show
I see her once a month or so
to give the girl a break from
bucking and rolling
Guitars and bars that’s her life
She wants me to make her my wife
but I got to think about it
(Take your time!)
I told her: now let’s wait and see
if this life is really meant for me
(She drives a car as long as a train)
– Six wheels rodeo clown
(She’s always singing those country refrains)
– Day in day out no matter what’s the song is about
(She drives a car as long as a train)
– and it makes me wonder who is the fool I say
In baggy pants and red nose on
This girl can really turn me on
She’s got some hidden qualities
I melt each time when she says
Honey aint nothing with no moon
Gimme that honeymoon
(She drives a car as long as a train)
– Big bucks buick… What’s that we got with B?
(She’s always singing those country refrains)
– Like the ones my mama used to sing when I was little
(She drives a car as long as a train)
She drives a car as long as a train
Who is the fool I say….

I Am The Dreamer
03:52
|
|||
|
In spring we’ll awaken With the season’s first bloom
And sweet scented blossoms Will fill every room
In summer we’ll dance Under black velvet skies
The sparkle of stars Shining deep in your eyes
I am the dreamer, you are the dream
In parallel worlds, we journey through time
Where everything’s known but nothing is seen
You are the reason and I am the rhyme
In autumn the bright leaves Will slowly descend
When the soft western wind Draws our dance to an end
In winter we’ll sleep Under pale quilts of snow
And the beat of our hearts Will be measured and slow
And the earth keeps on whirling Like a dervish in space
I hear your faint whisper Though I can’t see your face
And sometimes at night I can hear the stars sing
Is it you? Is it You?

Just Gettin' Old
04:02
|
|||
|
I woke up this morning and got out of bed
Another day older but nowhere near dead
I ain’t as fast as I used to be
But I’m still footloose and fancy free
My mem’ry is failing my mind, it can roam
But I ain’t quite yet ready for the nursing home
I’ve got twinges in my hinges
And aches in my bones
There’s a pain in my shoulder
That won’t leave me alone
My feet’s gettin’ tender
My hair’s gettin’ thin
God have mercy
On the shape I’m in
I ain’t callin’ it quits
I ain’t gettin’ cold
I ain’t givin’ up
I’m just gettin’ old
Traded in my boots for some sensible shoes
The years keep stacking up and I’m paying my dues
I still can dance ’til the light of day
Get me my cane and point out the way
can’t move as fast as I used to do
But I can still keep up with the likes of you
I’ve got twinges in my hinges
And aches in my bones
Etc.
I ain’t gettin’ lucky
I ain’t strikin’ gold
All that I’m doing
Is gettin’ more old
I’m not over the hill
I’m not past my prime
I’m just pickin’ up speed
And takin’ my time
And it’s only gettin’ harder
To do what I’m told
I guess it’s just a part
Of just gettin’ old…

Follow The Heart
03:15
|
|||
|
Wanna sing with the message of love
to caress like the voice from inside
Want my soul to be free free at last
from the hurt and the search with no light on
Follow the heart
Follow the feeling
Follow the one
The one that's you
[the one that can be you]
On a cloud she's an angel in white
to bring peace when your mind just don't know
On a cloud she is to watch over you
when you can't choose which way to go

Makes Me Wonder
03:29
|

|
If I was rich I would hire a flyer
that would take me anywhere I choose
but will my heart be free?
But here I am with a little of drinking
while thinking what I’m a gonna do
about these blues
and when my final peace will be
And it makes me wonder why I love so hard
I stand accused
I’m tired of playing that lonely solo part
of a recluse
I need someone to hold me
I need someone who really cares
and it makes me wonder why?
There is thunder in my heart
If I was king I would rule like and do like
I’m the one who was gonna save the world
like in fairly tales...
But here I cry with no kissing
and missing the one I used to call my baby girl
who went gone away of late
It makes me wonder…
