book of songs 1 by Te'Kannon

book of songs volume 1 e-book edition by

Dear Reader, ! There are 191 song lyrics in the following four ʻbook of songsʼ ebooks. This is volume 1 with the lyrics of forty-seven songs. One might say poetry with musical compositions that fit the words.The hardest part of writing lyrics is to make what you say sound original. My songs certainly sound at times like music that has already been heard. The goal is to create something new. Only you, the reader, or the person listening to the song can tell me if I have succeeded. ! Being impossible to evaluate oneʼs own abilities, I am autodidactic in the following fields: art, sculpture, music, singing and songwriting. I have written pop songs, ballads, rock songs, reggae and blues songs for example. How does one write a song? Inspiration comes from anything that strikes the imagination or fires up the emotions. Usually a phrase comes into your mind and you hear music around it. Itʼs an incredible experience to write a song. I was lucky enough to travel a lot and write from life on most of the song material you will read about in these lyrics. ! Thank you for your interest in ʻbook of songs 1ʼ. I hope you enjoy reading the lyrics of these songs. Exceptionally, the music for one song is used twice: Once on Rasta Man and also on Distant Star. ! Please visit the publishing site ISSUU.COM. if you would like to look at art books or other e-books I have written. Type in the name te-kann-on for additional books on poetry, paintings and drawings. ! You can also find art work and songs recorded in the music section of my website : www.te-kann-on.com

Well I’m almost gone, babe Yeah, I’m almost gone Trouble is it’s over you And yes I know so wrong,..

But then I know it’s over, babe Yeah, it’s time to turn the page Gone for good all of my life But somehow it don’t seem right,..

Those times we remember I see you wavin‘ me goodbye I’m so lonely I could die,..

Those times we remember I can almost see her gentle eyes I’m so lonely I could die,..

Up in the morning, out in the fields On the street in your wheels Anywhere, anywhere at all,..

Livin‘ the life, what do you see ? People just like you and me Anywhere, anywhere at all,..

Drinkin‘ with friends, makin‘ amends Movin‘ through it all again Anywhere, anywhere at all,..

Crazy world, we’re all the same Trouble is they’ll always blame Anywhere, anywhere at all,..

Havin‘ a cup of never enough Pleasant company Anywhere, anywhere at all,..

Havin‘ a cup,..

Are You Happy

I saw you crying In the blue, blue moonlight Won’t you forget It was just a lover’s fight ?..

Sometimes we say things We know just can’t be true Then we discover It only made us blue,..

Was that a smile I saw upon your lips ? Come to me baby Just one more tender kiss,..

Can’t you believe I never want to part ? Because I know I’ve got you in my heart,..

Are you happy ? Are you happy tonight ? Are you happy ? Tell me it’s true Tell me it’s true so true,..

Are you happy ?..

Artist Down

In the eyes of our ancestors I have driven in the stake Lost my way to love and fortune Laid my very soul to waste,..

Fought the devil with empty six guns Not seeing I was lost in reality Blinded by the road to glory I sacrificed my destiny,..

Sinful years have carved their furrows On my wicked face lies the blame Now there only are the old days Funny how nothin’s changed,..

Artist down but not forgotten Heaven help me find my way What are the chances on my gamblin’? Won’t it happen for us one day ?..

Was it just my pride or an ego ride ? Did I reach too far again ? ‘Cause all I wanted, all I wanted Was to be a winner in the end,..

‘Cause it looks pretty damn low As far as feelings go And I really wonder now If I’ll ever make it, ever make it To see my dreams come true somehow,..

Atlantis

Atlantis, I’ll see you rise The day will come You’ll touch those skies once more,..

In days before when all could see The world was one and We were free on this Earth,..

There are so many who live in pain Never know to gain Their lives are chained forever,..

To help them all and hear their calls Means all to give So all can live on this Earth,..

Atlantis they’re calling you now,..

All around us everywhere People living, needing care In this world,...

Was in antiquity A land where everyone was free On this Earth,…

Atlantis they’re calling you now Atlantis can you hear them somehow ?..

Still, so much to do and the people here They can’t see, oh no they can’t They’re so afraid they’ll lose it all But don’t worry because it will be Like it used to be As it was on Atlantis,..

Away And Afar

Sleep now my child to wonder and dream Above the green valleys so calm and serene,..

Are you there now my child, has the sandman come by ? To give you his stardust and take you to fly,..

Away and afar You will see many things From mountain tops to rivers And forests that sing,..

You can have what you want It’s a make-believe world And bring back your treasures To the morning unfurled,..

So sleep now my child until the new day And then begin again to discover and play,..

Your life is a journey to go far and wander Across the great universe of time you can squander,..

Won’t you sleep now my child and let your soul fly ? To the land of your dreams till the morning is nigh,..

The world is a kingdom of magic and marvel And now it’s your turn to make it unravel,..

Away and afar,..

Away and afar, you will see many things,..

Bad Luck

Bad Luck I guess you found me Hickory switch you’ll never be Bad luck all around me But your claws won’t hold me long,..

When that bad luck comes to greet me I tell it leave; go find the door ‘Cause bad luck seems I remember You made a mess of my life before,..

When that bad luck comes to greet me,..

Bad luck you’ll never know me You ain’t gettin’ your way Don’t bring your bag of troubles And try to wreck my day,...

But you won’t find me down there To kick around,..

Bad luck I can’t agree There’s more sunshine than the rain I’ll be waving you goodbye And leave you there to feel the pain,..

Bad luck, you want to follow me Like a hound dog to the moon Why don’t you find someone else ? Someone else real soon,..

Bad luck I guess you found me I wonder when I’m free Bad luck all around me Why won’t you let me be ?

But you won’t find me,..

Be Your Own Man

I think about livin’ and what a lot of things mean It keeps me goin’ to have a dream Yes I’m a man, that’s all I want to be Just a man trying to cut these chains free,..

So many times they tell you: Give it up Don’t do your dream, it’s going to tear you up But now’s the time you know the best Take what you need and leave the rest,..

Can’t hold me down,..

I’m just a man that’s all I want to be Be what I am and nothin‘ more you see,..

I don’t want much I only want the world To be together and stop these crazy wars There’s so much that we can have it’s true It’s not where you’re from, it’s where you’re goin‘ to,..

Can’t hold me down,.

I’m just a man that’s all I want to be,..

Can’t hold me down Don’t try to do it Nothin’ can stop me now I’m going to it,..

I’d like to find a way to help them see That life’s a dream if you want it to be Nothin’s easy till you understand That all you need is to be your own man,..

I’d like to find a way to help them see,..

Best Years

It was back in ’66, we got our kicks listenin’ to the DJ’s The music never stopped, it was always turned way up Everybody got high on the best years of our lives,..

Yeah, ’68 was rockin’ from Detroit to London town Sweet soul music, the West Coast super sound Everybody got high on the best years of our lives,..

And if I stop to think about it I get a feeling in my heart And if it’s over tomorrow I know I did my part Still, I wonder if what we did Changed the world just a bit All I know is that those times Will never leave me till I die,..

They were the best years of our lives,..

Clapton was God, Dylan right behind The Stones and Beatles blowin’ everybody’s mind The world was changing every day Revolution was the only way Everybody got high on the best years of our lives,..

And lookin’ back from all this way From LA woman to Purple Haze Looks so good, those were the days We followed our hearts and believed in love Everybody got high on the best years of our lives,..

They were the best years of our lives,...

Don’t the good times go so fast ? Wish they could only last forever,..

Big Wheels

It doesn’t have to be that way

We’ve known it from the start Everybody could be making it You know it in your heart,..

It doesn’t have to be that way They tell you everything’s fine All the times we never understand And still so many walkin’ the line,..

Well you can read about it in the papers And maybe see what I mean About a dream so many share,..

They never get a chance to say There’s no telephone lines And if they could ever call you up I’m sure they’d have to borrow the dime,..

Nobody seems to have the answer Then it’s always too late ‘Cause they just can’t wait that long,..

It took a while on down the highway Till I jumped to the spot On the way things got to me,..

Big wheels in motion Send it across the oceans One more time,..

Bird on a Window Sill

Bird on a window sill

Tellin’ me what’s wrong with my life,..

Bird on a window sill You can fly higher than a kite,..

Bird on a window sill I never thought I’d be dreaming your way,..

Bird on a window sill You make me think of better days,..

And when you sing for the crumbs I look for the words to say,..

Bird on a window sill I’d give all I own to fly one day,..

Bird on a window sill Take me with you far away,..

And when you sing for the crumbs The sky begins to cry,..

I want to fly so high with you Over the world two by two Maybe I’ll grow some wings Who can say ?..

Black Book

I was turning the pages In my little black book I came across your number That’s all that it took,..

Then I began to remember All the times we had An the reason why we parted I treated you so bad,..

I was runnin‘ I was runnin‘ I was runnin’ all over town,..

Had me runnin‘ Had me runnin‘ Had me runnin’ for the phone,..

Just like in the movies I met her late one night She seemed to be the answer Then I held her tight,..

Dreams are made for dreamers She was a dream, a fantasy How could I know that just one kiss Would take you away from me ?..

I was runnin‘ I was runnin‘ I was runnin’ all over town,..

Just like in the movies,..

Burnin’ Love

Trouble on the Mason-Dixon line Gattlin’ guns workin’ overtime,..

General Robert E. Lee took the best to fight Rebel stand against the blue knight,..

A rifle cracked and smoked Atlanta Gettysburg to Alabama,..

The black crow flies for liberty Fisted banners and the land to free,..

Ain’t a lot of hope left above Dixie, land of a burnin’ love,..

Seen a revolution in these times One more soldier walks the line So young and brave, their restless eyes Searchin’ through the mystic nights,..

Ragged statesmen in satin gloves A cannon ball for the burnin’ love Sweet Dixie plays, the peace flag raised A new beginning and a time to pray,..

Seen a revolution in these times,..

Call Me

I wish you’d call me right on the phone ‘Cause I’m just sitting here so all alone,..

I see those moonbeams through my window pane But without you girl things just aren’t the same,..

We used to wander all through the nights Catchin’ stars when they fell from the sky,..

I liked the way it used to be And why things changed is still a mystery,..

So won’t you call me and baby let me know If you want to make it a go ?..

We could be rolling right down the road Making it together on our own,..

Can’t we try to reach that place again Where we said we’d stay until the end ? Can’t we try to reach that place again Where we said we’d always be friends ?,..

‘Cause I’m lonely, so lonely All I think of is your smile I want you to hold me And stand beside me Walking with me all the while Walking with me all the way in style,..

Carry Me Away

We can be all together Do the day in any kind of weather Tell all the people you know Like a seed in the Earth we all can grow,..

Don’t believe in judgement day Heaven’s on Earth that’s what I say There ain’t no God up in the sky There ain’t no deviI down the way,..

I only know about love And how good it is to know Now that you’re in my life I’m never gonna let you go, never let you go,..

Can’t you see how much it means to me ? Why won’t you believe it really can be ?..

They’ll have to Carry me away, carry me away From your love,..

Some people work so hard Tryin’ to reach the end of the day They sweat blood and tears to go far Just to make it to payday,..

Life ain’t easy, that much we know But somehow we’ll get through The past is gone, on with the show And all I need is love from you,..

They’ll have to Carry me away, carry me away From your love,..

Cartoons

I got cartoons playin’ in my mind And every kind of comic book character And then it’s just like Alice in Wonderland There you are like the Queen of my heart,..

Now I’ve got to thank Mr Carroll For the magic caterpillar and the Mad Hatter But I can’t live in a fantasy Unless is gets real about you and me,..

You’d think we met in Disneyland In the Land of Oz or in Aladdin’s Lamp ‘Cause you’re the magic of my days Oh, Cinderella, hear my heart strings play,..

Yes, I’m afraid you gave me a brain tattoo ‘Cause when I close my eyes it’s just me and you But cartoon love ain’t real enough ‘Cause the pain they show only makes me laugh,..

Yeah, I’ve got cartoons playing in my mind Some of them are funny like a nursery rhyme And I see us being on Sesame Street I’ll be Mr Kangaroo if you promise me to be,..

Sweet, sweet Alice in Wonderland Like Snow White I’m sure you understand You’ve just got to be The Queen of my heart So, hold me tight And let the movie start,..

Sweet, sweet Alice in Wonderland,..

Character

He’s a character He’s a character Yeah, he’s a character,..

He’s a character He’s a character Yeah he’s a character,..

Lone star on a one night stand Maybe you’ve seen him playin’ with his band Guitar blazing, singing a tune Like an hungry wolf howlin’ at the moon,..

Lone star on shifting sand Carries himself like a one man band Always rolling doing what he can ‘Cause what he’s lived you’d never understand,..

Lone star in the lonely sky Young blood running out, but he don’t ask why One day he’ll make it all the way Get to the top and everyone will say,..

Character, when do you arrive ? Character, how do you survive ?,..

Character, when do you arrive ? Character, how do you survive ?..

Children Of The New Age

One day it was so cold and grey Thinking back to old LA About that girl who never knew my name On the beach in the pouring rain,..

When we’re young the years go so slow We want so much more to know And getting older it seems so much colder,.. Everyone talkin’ about yesterday

Live your life like a dream if you dare Believe in yourself and you’ll go far You’ll get there if you see it square It’s not what you do but who you are,..

Down and gone so many now Who fought the wars for our countries But we must stand hand in hand And sing to this Earth our desire,..

And then we saw a rainbow And then came the sun,…

What we did when it was yesterday,.. Sometimes we forget to live for this day,..

Find a girl and let love catch fire Soon hearts are sailing much higher,..

Children of the New Age We are the children of the New Age,..

Chocolate Moon

I was wondering when you’d call And say those sweet things That you miss me and you need me To be your everything,..

That I need you forever You and I for all time To be together sweet darling I want to tell the world you’re mine,..

You know there’s something in my heart Something in your eyes that makes me say,..

Don’t you hear it, gentle music ? It sounds like a lullaby Sweet music you can dance to And romance to if you like,..

On the dance floor when I hold you And feel you close to my heart Together if you want to We can make a brand new start,..

Under the chocolate moon and the Strawberry stars all around in the sky,..

Darling won’t you be my lady forever ? Say it’s for certain we’ll be side by side Say it’s for certain till the day I die You’ll be with me darling for all of my life,..

Under the chocolate moon and the Strawberry stars all around in the sky,..

Under the chocolate moon,..

Crazy Bird

Wishin’ away my life is all I do Wishin’ away my life till I find you,..

Wishin’ away the things I’ll always need Wishin’ away the man I want to be,..

Crazy Bird, why won’t you let me know ? Where you are, I’m wishin’ for to go,..

Crazy Bird, must be you fly too high Crazy Bird, I’ll see you eye to eye,..

Ocean waves and gamblin’ days They’re all I have for you,..

Wishin’ away may be all I have to give With just one life, it’s with you I want to live,..

Crazy Bird, must be you fly too high Crazy Bird, I’ll see you eye to eye,..

Ocean waves and gamblin’ days They’re all I have for you,..

Cocaine is whiter than the snow But it won’t take me Where I want to go,..

Wishin’ away my life to pass the time Wishin’ away my life until you’re mine,..

Crazy Bird, why won’t you let me know Where you are, I’m wishin’ for to go,..

Ocean waves and gamblin’ days They’re all I have for you,..

Crooked Smile

Every kind of man has a meaning Every kind of woman’s got a lover and a friend,..

You say you’re gonna be my friend You better believe it right till the end,..

And when I needed someone to lean on to Funny how the friend in you was so shy,..

Still, reaching in and finding something to hold on to You may be out of my life, but I’ll never forget you,..

It’s a hell of a world, we think it should make sense Friends and lovers, muggers to fight,..

But you broke my heart for the last time And now it’s time turn the page and put things right,..

As sure as the sun sets well tonight I’ll remember us waving goodbye Through the lights Shining up to show your crooked smile Yeah, I’ll remember us waving goodbye Through the lights,..

Dance and Shout

Well comon’ babe We’re gonna have a good time Well comon’ babe We’re gonna have a good time We’re gonna rock until we drop And party the night away,..

When you’re feelin’ low down Can’t get it on the line When you’re feelin’ low down Can’t get it on the line Go straight to the ballroom And dance your blues away,..

We’ll be dancin’ past midnight and Rockin’ till the joint comes down We’ll be dancin’ past midnight and Rockin’ till the joint comes down We’re gonna have a party And shake up this crazy town,..

We’ll be rockin’ it all night and Dancin’ till the break of day We’ll be rockin’ it all night and Dancin’ till the break of day We’ll be rockin‘ and a rollin’ Yeah, let’s party the night away !..

We’re gonna dance and shout Boogie and carry on We’re gonna dance and shout Boogie and party down And when the sun comes up We’ll take it to another town,..

Danger

Out for a ride, the wind makes you high

Country sky, the breeze so warm Nobody else around tonight,..

Cruzin’ the drag, engine don’t lag Power shift in overdrive We left ‘em far behind, far behind,..

We were livin’ for the danger What was wrong we took for right We were livin’ for the danger Rebels loose a thousand nights,..

(Spoken) Thinking back on times ago, maybe your best friend When life was like the road, with so much for you ahead ’56 was rockin’, ‘ole El and Jerry Lee Bobby socks and hula hoops and twistin’ to the beat,..

One for the road, red line’s your code Next lane’s showin’ something nice There’s someone in your heart tonight,..

We were livin’ for the danger,..

Then you see your girl You want her in your world She’s the kind of girl She’s just for you, just for you,..

All we wanted was a song well sung Then we had to fight to follow through So many times and with the nights undone There was nothing left but cut it loose,..

Delaware Delaware LadyLady

Delaware lady, I hope you see FC Dm All the people just like you and me Delaware lady, I know it’s wrong To keep our feelings From each other so long,..

Delaware lady, is it fair ? To tell you something that’s so hard to bear We are such dreamers, you and I And we can change the world over coffee anywhere,..

Delaware lady, what should we do ? I’ve been wating so long just to get through to you Wind on a misty night, tear in my eye I remember those summer nights And the way our hearts did fly,..

I’m a man that rambles on Maybe like a rolling stone I like the ways of life And people being free And that Delaware woman Walkin’ next to me,..

Lookin’ for the Delaware woman,..

I’m a man who rambles on Every town I know is home Just another music man Playing all night long Looking for the Delaware woman To sing my song,..

I’m a man who rambles on,..

Will she marry me ?..

Delta Lady

Delta lady, what’s on your mind ? Delta lady, you’re quite a find,..

Delta lady, I’d like it to be Delta lady, just you and me,..

Delta lady, you’re swingin’ like the music’s on fire You know you move me and Fill me up with desire Delta lady, get it on,..

Mis-sis-sip, Ala-bam Loo-siana, clap your hands,..

Delta lady, you’re swingin’ like a rhythm machine Delta lady you’re the sweetest country girl I’ve ever seen Delta lady, get it on,...

Delta lady are you honky-tonkin’ again ? You like your music stompin‘ Rhythm and blues right till the end Delta lady, get it on,..

Delta Lady, won’t you sing some Country blues for us now ? You make it easy to get down In that Southern sound,.. Delta lady, turn it on,....

Deserae

There goes that record playing A song of somewhere gone And changing like the seasons The days have grown so long I raise a glass of summer wine Those memories, forgotten times,..

Like they’ve been saying It’s a cloudy day sometime But devil with the weather When it’s shining I’ll be fine Still there are the nights so quiet When I find you on my mind, so fine,..

Deserae, it’s gonna take a while but I’ll get over you,..

‘Cause early in the morning Before the stars turn away I get lost in reflections Then it’s just another day So if it’s time to say goodbye It’s on the wind and in the sky,..

Deserae, it’s gonna take a while but I’ll get over you,..

The sun’s here today and gone tomorrow Love won’t grow in pain and sorrow,..

The sun’s here today and gone tomorrow You better have it saved or hope to borrow,..

You were my angel, you were my girl I saw your face trying to say It’s a new day, better go now, go your own way,..

Destiny

I used to be on down the road That’s the way it used to be, baby That’s the way it used to be on me,..

But through the miles like my years It came to me so easy, baby It came to me one starry, starry night,..

You must go on when hope has gone away It’s just a way of thinking What you believe is what will come to be,..

‘Cause when you’re young and so mystical Your mind’s so open Your mind’s so open like the sea,..

And life it seems is toil and blood How much luck can you say finds you ? From your dreams will come reality,..

You can’t go on livin’ what you knew It’s time to move on It’s time to move on to somethin’ new,..

‘Cause holding on to yesterday Just makes your heart so heavy You gotta let go of what has gone away,..

You gotta go your own way You gotta make it your day Hitchin’ a ride on your destiny,…

It’s all you got, babe It’s what you’re gonna live, babe It’s what they call your destiny,…

I’m comin’ over babe I’m gonna make it in your destiny,..

Did They Tell You ?

On a stallion flying high Wings open to the wind Past all the days you tried,..

When the night has found the day And all your faces Have slipped so far away,..

No, no, you can’t take ‘em back,..

Did they tell you babe ? There’s only shelter from the rain When you see the sunshine,..

Did they tell you babe ? Take a walk until you stop That’s when you’ll see the sunshine,..

As the skies begin to clear And on the mountain top Only echoes of the years,..

No, no, you can’t take ‘em back,..

Did they tell you babe ?..

No, no, you can’t take ‘em back No, no, you can’t take ‘em back,..

Like a river Flowing to the sea One day you’ll find Where you’re meant to be,..

Diesel Annie

Truck stop waitress, somewhere down the line girl Diesel Annie, somewhere livin’ free,..

You’re a workin’ lady serving eggs and coffee Diesel Annie, you’ll find your love in me,..

I’m workin’ for a house where we both can stay I’m workin’ for your love, just listen to me say,..

Three kids and a Chevy, and still so pretty Diesel Annie, I’d give the world for you,..

No-one can say when true love will find you,..

Truck stop waitress, somewhere down the line girl,..

I’m workin’ for a house where we both can stay,..

Could be till my dyin’ day On a wind that blows these words your way Come back, Diesel Annie To the one who loves you so,..

Still, I wish I knew Yeah, I wish I knew Where the trail will lead me If that trail will lead me to the one I love,..

No-one can say when true love will find you No-one can say, but the stars above the trees,..

For a world that turns every day And a broken heart that yearns to say Come back Diesel Annie To the one who loves you so,..

It’s a lonely world when you’re all alone Together we can make it so fine at home Come back, Diesel Annie To the one who loves you so,..

Dizzy Dizzy, you get me dizzy,..

Don’t know just what you do to me One look and it’s all through for me You’re the only one who seems to understand That a man’s got to be a man,..

Don’t know why I spin and spin around When I see you I go round and round I only want to be with you next to me Dancing through the days and all the nights,…

I don’t know why I keep spinning like a top over you You’ve got me turning and burning Falling in love with you I guess love must be that way,..

Dizzy, it gets me so dizzy,..

Dizzy, you get me dizzy,..

You take me where I’ve never been I just want to be with you again You’re the only one who seems to understand That a man’s got to be a man,..

I don’t know why,..

Why won’t you let me near your heart I promise not to take it all apart I only want to be with you next to me Dancing through the days and all the nights,..

I don’t know why,..

Don’t Want To See You Go

Last night I tried to get you out of my mind Nothing would work so I took a walk to pass the time,..

You said I’ve changed too much to try it again and Maybe it’s best to make the best of being just friends,..

But I only changed To bring us together I only want To be with you forever,..

Thinking about you Only made me discover I wouldn’t want To be with another,..

I don’t want to see you go so far, far away No, no, I don’t want to see you go So far, far away from home I don’t want to see you go So far, far from me,..

When I think of how long it takes to know someone well And in the end you wonder if you knew them at all,..

All I can say is I want us to be Together forever Just you and me,..

I don’t want to see you go far, far away,…

Deep in your eyes Past the fantasy cover I see us together,..

Down The Highway

How many times must I tell you ? How many times must I try ? How many times to say I love you ?..

It’s a long way to Nevada But things are too cold for me to stay I try and try to love you,..

But the words only come out this way,..

You’ve been saying for a long time You’re feeling different every day Well, write it down and send me a letter,..

I’m off and down the highway And feeling better every day ‘Cause I know from what we had together,..

To be moving on is the only way,..

No use in all this cryin’ Goodbyes blowin’ in the breeze There’s not much to say when it’s all over,..

Just to get the truth away,..

Time won’t let me forget you But I’ll do my best to cut you free,..

‘Cause when the whistle blows I’m on my way,..

Time won’t let me forget you I’ll do my best to cut you free,..

I guess some things were meant to be,..

Dream Maker

You say it’s time for us to be A world where all men are free Dream maker, you better sing your song,..

You say that everyone can be What they really want to be Dream maker, you better sing your song,..

How many times have people tried To live in peace and leave war behind ? Dream maker, you better sing your song,..

How many children must be lost Before we realize the cost ? Dream Maker, better sing your song,..

Do you think we’ll ever win And make a world where everyone fits in ? Dream Maker, better sing your song,..

When you say we that We can change our ways Now could it possibly be ? You’re living in a dream,..

Then you say that We can change one day Now could it possibly be ? You’re living in a dream,..

‘Cause everybody’s really just like you And could it possibly be ? We’re living in a dream ?

Driving

Eyes red from the blinding heat Glad to see the sun wave goodbye,..

Cool smoke cominâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; out of my ears Grinding on through the gears,..

Halfway to the very next stop Shakinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; the hands on the clock,..

River of mud this morning rain Whistle on the midnight train,..

Driving to nowhere in sight,..

Cut loose, let go Never mind the stone you want to throw,..

Relax, lay back Straight ahead the nights are moving slow,..

Wings above, flashing lights The sky will soon explode,..

Driving so long as this ride Gets me to my soul,..

Driving to nowhere in sight,..

Cut loose, let go Never mind the stone you want to throw,..

Relax, lay back Straight ahead is where you gotta go,..

Driving to nowhere in sight Following the clouds Like a moth into the fire,..

Echoes

It’s all been moving your way It’s all so easy they say It’s all been moving your way It’s all so easy they say I’m sure you’ve heard it all before Just like the writing on the wall,..

When you discover love from another All of your world turns upside down There are no reasons and like the seasons Everything goes round and round,..

So many people never uncover All the secrets that life can bring It’s in your mind all the time You only have to go inside to find,..

When you’re sad, happy or mad It’s only how we want to understand If we take our time and let it happen All we want will come into our hands,..

So close your eyes,..

So close your eyes and Don’t these words that I’ve said Seem to echo in your mind ?..

So close your eyes,..

Are you feeling good inside ? It’s so much fun to see the light,..

Edward The Minstrel

Edward the minstrel Wears dagger and lute In twelve hundred five Born common and true And maidens would clamor When he spoke well of love So growing to please them He soon turned to song,.. Edward the minstrel Will sing for you now His the impassioned The poets fine words Of castles and goblins And lands far away Tales of Ulysses At the touch of the strings,..

Rock a bye babe, goodbye tree tops Fish in the bay, the bacon so hot ‘Ole Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall Broken in pieces in no time at all,..

Edward the minstrel I knew him in travel Away like the lightning Of summer storm’s past He’ll be there singing When the shadows are long With a new day coming And yesterday’s song,..

Rock a bye babe,..

Farewell

Farewell, so sad to see you go on your way Goodbye, isn’t that what the old folks say ?..

Farewell, I might have told you so Goodbye, everybody knows it’s the end of the show,..

Farewell, sorry to say it’s time to go Goodbye, what’s it all about ? We’ll never know,..

Farewell, no sense to hang your head Goodbye, we’ll meet again as friends after we’re dead,..

Nothing here was meant to stay for long,..

Try to count the times you laughed And then remember when Sure it could have been yesterday But where are those moments spent ?..

Nothing here was meant to stay for long,..

Try to count the times you laughed,..

Won’t be long before you know The music’s over, time for the show I guess we’ll never know Till it’s our last day What it all means anyway,..

Feel So Good

You really make me feel so good Like no-one ever could I’ve been thinkin’ about what to do With someone like you,..

So won’t you take a walk with me ? Down the way to where we ought to be There’s never, never, never too much to lose So take a chance, girl Take a chance on me and you,..

What’s the best thing in your life ? It’s in your heart if you really want it I’d like to know if you’d agree To spend your life with me,..

There’s sunshine where it used to rain And in my heart there’s no more pain I know destiny can be your best friend But this time girl, I’m really on the mend,..

All I You Can You

know is one thing make me feel so good you hear me say it ? make me feel so good,..

Fire

Liar, if I say you don’t get me higher ‘Cause when we’re close I get this desire

Higher, when I’m with you I get so much higher When we’re close I turn red hot fire

To make it all the way with you,..

Every time when I’m with you,..

You know the answer’s still the same Since the first time we met You made my life so beautiful I can’t forget Now I find I need you More than ever darlin‘ Yeah, I think we just might make it Yeah, looks like we just might turn it on,..

Fire, when I’m with you I turn on fire When we’re close I get this desire

To make it all the way with you,.. Heartache, when you’re away from me I get this heartache So won’t you come back before it’s too late ?..

‘Cause I think you’re the one for me,…

You turn me right on fire,...

You know the answer’s still the same,..

Fires of Islam

Something burning us now Something burning us now Fires of Islam, pyres of the struggling few,..

Something turning us now Something turning us now Wind of the comet coming upon me and you,..

And love, I feel it in my heart And the world turns cold and dark,..

Something learning us now Something learning us now Blood of the innocents Spilled to make a point on the news,..

Something burning us now Something burning us now The world’s a religion Teaching us the way to the truth,..

And love, I feel it in my heart And the world turns cold and dark,..

Something burning us now,..

Political rituals Getting so habitual No-one sees the compromise,..

Who are we fooling? We’re all so wrong Can’t they see the world must be free ?..

Flowers and Gold Dust

Flowers and gold dust

Falling from the sky Raindrops and moonbeams Filling up my eyes,..

Above the clouds there must be something Someone who can tell me why I just gotta know who made it so ‘Cause love is everywhere you go,..

All around so much to see,..

Flowers and gold dust Falling from the sky Raindrops and moonbeams From your lovely heart to mine,..

All around so much to see,..

There couldn’t be another night like this,..

All around so much to see Coming down all over me,..

There couldn’t be Another night like this If I lived to a hundred and three But I’d try it, yes I’d try it If you’d be there with me,..

Fly So High

When it’s late at night

And I’m holding you tight You get me feeling so good,..

When I think about How much you mean to me I still can’t believe,..

You know I’m walkin’ like a man With the world in his hands I can’t believe you’re really mine,..

It’s such a long time Since I met a girl Who makes me feel so right,..

You know I’m walking like a man,..

You know I’m walkin’ like a man With the world in his hands I can’t believe you’re really mine,..

Baby you can say it A million times or more I’ll never get tired of you Knockin’ on my door You make me fly so high, so high,..

Everytime I think about The night we met I see the stars in your eyes Just want to see you again You make fly so high, so high,..

For Your Love

You’re the sun to me You make me want to be Every night by your side Every day together you and I,..

Lover’s lullaby Playing in my mind when I see your eyes Every time that I’m with you Underneath the stars or blue skies, you and I,..

It’s our melody And we can be what we want to be Maybe together till forever Walking side by side, you and I,..

You’re the world to me No-one else could ever be I’m so happy we’re together Livin’ away each day, you and I,..

You know I couldn’t help myself For your love,..

And I believe Yes, I believe in you and and me,..

Forever And A Day

There was a woman down from London town She almost made me lose my mind Yeah, she sank her teeth into that sweet Sweet heart of mine Sweet heart of mine,..

So I spent my time with a bottle of wine Till a good man said to me You better run my son from the wrong she’s done Or you’ll lose your sanity You’ll lose your sanity,..

Now it’s a lonely life without a loving wife Or a woman by your side But it’s better to be on your own and free Than to live your life a lie,..

So I stuck to my guns and followed the sun Now that was long years ago All I know is if you let them go Some people will steal your soul Some people will steal your soul,..

Lonely are the days Till you find the one who’ll stay To be in your life forever Forever and a day,..

Future Ones

There’s no excuse for being a fool I know Everybody likes to stretch the limits and go But this time we gotta change ‘cause the world’s in pain When will we ever learn that time is running out ?..

It feels like we might be bringing an end to life Why don’t they change their ways and see the light ? It makes me think it’s too late to turn it all around But we can do it if we want before it all comes down,..

I know we’ve done some crazy things But this time it’s us or them,..

I wonder if they’re really gonna understand That there’s nowhere else to go but to take a stand We’re the only ones left who know that it’s true So let’s take a chance and start something new,..

‘Cause time’s running out for whole wide world But together we can make it right,..

It’s getting warmer and it’s changing fast And one day it just might explode,..

We’ll build a better world Where we can start again We are the chosen ones We’re the future ones,..

We’ll build a better world,..
