Gray day
why don’t you come out and play
I’ll paint the sky blue for you
I’ll paint the sky blue for you
Sunshine
I’ll make the sunshine for you
Over this gray day
Over this gray
I’ll chase the clouds away______
Clouds part And we start
Painting the sky blue for you
Painting the sky blue for you
Birds sing
And we sing
Sunshine and blue sky‘s for you
Sunshine and blue for you______
Verse 3 Counter Melody—
Grey day I say
Come what may day
Blue skies
Surprise
Come out and play
Dream out loud and
Chase the clouds
Away
Verse 4 Counter Melody—
Blue skies
Surprise
Open your eyes
New day
Today
No more gray skies
Let the birds sing
Their spring song for You

Cobblestone Cowgirl

Double Cross my heart
And if I don’t die
I’ll throw a lasso
Round this big blue sky for you
Clouds may be coming
Rain may be a threat
Let’s leave the umbrella
Let’s get soaking wet tonight
Walk in a dream through this mythical town
My lucky charm with your arms around me tight
My Cobblestone cowgirl
And Kafka on the shore tonight
I wish I may I wish I might
I’ve wished upon this city of heavenly lights
Make our Dreams come true
let our Dreams run wild
The Dame’s burnt down and the Mona Lisa smiled alright
The mornings steal your breath away
The evenings fade to black and gray and white
My cobblestone cowgirl
And Kafka on the shore tonight
There’s old Theo’s place
Up on rue Lepic
I’d give anything to listen
If those old walls could speak
From the pyramids to the Sacred Heart from the river bank to the boulevards of
light
My cobblestone cowgirl
And Kafka on the shore tonight

Two Young Hearts
03:55

Two young hearts on fire
Like only
two young hearts can be
With no net on the highest wire
We two fell into three
I branded you into my arm
So all the world could see
The two young hearts on fire
Like only
two young hearts can be
Now everything is disappearing
Fading from my view
Old rock stars
And V 8 cars
Smokey bars
and you
Two young hearts will drift apart
As only
Two young hearts can do
Too much future calling
Not enough in the rear view
And time will find me wanting
For all the things I didn’t do
For two young hearts that drift apart
As only
two young hearts can do
Now everything is disappearing
Fading from my view
Old rock stars
And V 8 cars
Smokey bars
and you
Yeah everything is disappearing
Slowly from my view
Blue suede shoes
And old tattoos
That make me dream
Of you
My forever muse
My unpaid dues
I’ll always owe to you

Circles
03:30
|
|||
|
Around in circles
Round the bend
Up around the moon
And back again
My grandfather lived in Corktown
Where Irish life was hard
And it was Rheingold beer
and camel straights,
and trash burning in the yard
Cutting ice on the Hudson River
long days at the paper mill
And so far away from county Cork
It was a bitter Irish pill
Around in circles
Round the bend
Up around the moon
And back again
My mother never drove a car
But learned to fly a plane
She was there when the Great Depression
Lived up to it’s name
And she carried those times with her
Like so many people did
And never thought to feel betrayed
By the good lord
god forbid
Around in circles
Round the bend
Up around the moon
And back again
It’s almost over before it’s begun
We Hit the ground running
And run .. and run .. and run
And I look back and wonder
Which is all that I can do
Since my DNA has had it’s say
And only half my story’s true
And the present moment’s all we have
Since time has learned to fly
And the past has only ever really taught us how to cry
Around in circles
Round the bend
Up around the moon
And back again

One Good Rain
03:52
|
|||
|
Give me one good rain
To wash me clean
One good rain
Give me one good reason
To stay
One reason to stay
Dark clouds heavy
As an old freight train
Won’t you Wash down on me
One good rain
Give me one good rain
To help me grow
One good rain
Dark clouds swirling
All around my brain
Won't you Fall down on me. One good rain
Pour down on me
Pour down on me
Pour down

Lost In Blue

Lost in Blue
There was a red light flashing on a motel wall
I was Laying there thinking bout nothing at all
With you
With you
A black crow was belly aching just outside
You always loved the crows but you never said why
It’s true
It’s true
As the night came creeping
Like a curse and a prayer
We floated out the door in the cool summer air
Sailed into town with the rag top down
And everyone was dressed in their carnival gowns
Oh Teresa
This world was always
just too much for you
Seeking out the smaller places
Found among familiar faces
Taken by those tender graces
And Lost in blue
Old for your years but young in your days
Everything you wanted always miles away
From you
From you
And the oceans kept rising
But everything else
Was falling like the sky
And talking to its self
It’s true
It’s true .
As the night came creeping
Like a curse and a prayer
We floated out the door in the cool summer air
Sailed into town with the rag top down
And everyone was dressed in their carnival gowns
Oh Teresa
This world was always
just too much for you
Seeking out the smaller places
Found among familiar faces
Taken by those tender graces
And Lost in blue

The Third Jewel Of Lyon
04:10
|
|||
|
Your seeds were sown near my mother’s home
You’re the third Jewel of Lyon
A part of me and a part so free
And a part we’ve never known
Oh my darling
not so fast
the past is just the past
Build the fires Take the chances
Pick the flowers Steal the glances
Live the life you’ve always wanted
And I’ll be there for you
Quiet as the break of day
Lovely as the moon
You’re the sun that lights my way
The star that’s coming soon
Our brief passage
like a song
Is here and then it’s gone
Swim the oceans Fly like wild birds
Drink the sunsets Read the good words
Live the life you’ve always dreamt of
And I’ll be there for you
And if lose your way one day
Then I will be the light for you
And if you find
The world’s unkind
Then I will make it right for you

Imagine That
02:14

Well the Big Bang boomed
And the whole thing bloomed
We were born
and we were doomed
on a ball we thought was flat
Imagine that
Then God spoke to Adam
some joke about a bone
Moses heard the joke
and he carved it into stone
With a rat tat tat tat tat
Imagine that
Then the forests fell down
And up came the towns
Folks went forth and multiplied
in big leaps and bounds
The Garden disappeared
And the rivers all frowned
And the people sat around and got fat
Imagine that
Imagine galaxies so vast that we can’t wrap our heads waround ‘em
Stars so far away we can only be dumbfounded by ‘em
The miracle of birth
for the ten billionth time
Mozart and The Beatles and the nursery rhyme
Love and it’s opposite
Jealousy and sin
All our worth caught up in
the color of our skin
the color of our skin
the color of our skin!!
All the Big Bang knew
Was the Big Bang boom
Then we crawled from the sea
into our own private rooms
Afraid of what was coming
Regretting what was past
Creating what was missing
Forgetting nothing lasts
When all the while
there’s only been
this moment where we’re at….
Imagine that
